I am really glad Yelp led us to you Sheri! We had our venue picked and then Sheri emailed us last minute to tell us of last minute changes. It was really nice of her to do actually. Kona's state fair was being held near our original venue and I am glad we changed because I think it would be too distracting for the kids! The new location was so picturesque..wow! There was 8 adults and 13 toddlers. It was a a big group. Hannah was our photographer and sick and all she was a professional. She was so patient with the 6 couples, 2 grandmas, and 13 toddlers. We just received our pictures and I am really happy with them. Thank you to the Kelilina group! Hope to book when we return!

I am not exaggerating one bit. My husband and I aren't the best in front of the camera. We are what some may say camera shy. Sarah broke us out of that shell and captured some miraculous photos capturing the beauty of Hawaii and the love my husband and I have for each other. She even got a few photos of my husband with this look that he is giving me, and I cry because it's a look I've never seen him give to me before. It's a look that shows how much he truly loves me. I would 100% recommend for others to chose Kelilina Photography to capture special moments and don't forget to ask for Sarah she's incredible! You wont be disappointed!

On Kauai with our three young children, who proved to be quite uncooperative during our session. My…read morehusband and I found ourselves feeling quite exhausted by the experience that I shouldn't have booked so late in the day with small children. However, when we received the photos from our session just 24 hours later, we were truly amazed. The images showcased us as the happiest and most beautiful family. Let me set the scene on the real image 2 exhausted parents side eyeing each other and their kids running around in the sand. We've lost complete control of them and are actually trying to control 3 children under the age of 5. They are losing their exhausted minds, while our photographer made miracles happen, capturing the essence of our time on the island. The photographer worked wonders, and it was evident that she dedicated hours to editing our photos. We left the beach that day feeling the onlookers rethinking any thoughts of having children but in contrast, our family appeared in the photos as if we were living our best day on the island, radiating joy and warmth. Going in know it's not cheap. Put it in your budget because it's something that you will have FOREVER. Remember that they are very good at what they do. In my case I checked around and it's just a little less than most but better quality and EXCELLENT customer service. Went in just wanting one family photo and I bought all of them on the thumb drive. The pictures were not taken recently but I still have them and I'm going again to have them taken so I'll update again. The reviews are still good so I wanted to add. Still no buyers remorse. Still get compliments on their photos.

Austin is experienced and guides the session along; giving as much or as little guidance as you ask for. He is also so friendly and gives great activity recommendations.

Angy took care of every detail - From assisting with the marriage license, to floral arrangements and setting up a meet and greet before hand with the AMAZING Aunty Tutu. Aunty Tutu is a wonderful, special human being who wove such warmth and magic into our ceremony and day. Hair and makeup were provided in my package, and she (I'm so sorry, I don't remember her name!) was simply wonderful as well. We had Richard provide ukulele music during our ceremony. A very skilled musician and SUCH a nice guy who added so much to our ceremony and day. We had a beautiful sunset ceremony with family and friends joining us via livestream video. I can honestly say there was nothing for me to stress about (and believe me, I can stress!) Angy even helped us secure our dinner reservations for after the ceremony. Our pictures are stunning, our video was beautiful. Grateful heart to Angy and this wonderful team she has for helping create our special day!

He came up with a creative idea for a mock photo shoot with his assistant so that it wouldn't be strange (or creepy) when there was a photographer lurking nearby as we walked up the hill toward the Four Seasons Hualalai's wedding tree. He was very easy to work with for our mini photo shoot, gave us direction for how to pose or interact without having the pictures look staged, and he had some creative ideas! We have two 7 picture series of sunset themed silhouette photos and a collage of 20 others hanging in our home. We look at them every day! Hiring the photographer for the engagement turned out to be a GREAT idea! And, I can't say enough wonderful things about Toby & his work!
