I write this review with much thought and mixed feelings.... Let me first way I am not completely…read moredissatisfied with Kona Blue, we do have some really nice shots, but I would not hire her again for a few important reasons and I will just cut to the chase with the pros and cons then elaborate after. Pros: Affordable (soft of), prompt, friendly and pleasant in person, wedding photos were delivered within 3 weeks of the wedding, were given over 2325 photos Cons: Very poor editing, quantity over quality, poor customer service when editing issues were brought to her attention, poor eye for details, no effort to make corrections. Our Package: We did receive a lot of photos but we paid for 7 hours of "professional" photography at $325 an hour and wouldn't expect anything less for that many hours of photography. What we did expect and did not receive, was print ready photos. Nope, much sorting, editing to be done before we can print these, something you expect a professional photographer to do. Several important photos have to be cropped and or lightened up. So many photos would have benefited from her editing them prior to sending to us. Quantity over Quality for sure! Lighting issues: I understand lighting is not the fault of the photographer as she states in her contract, HOWEVER, how am I to know there is a lighting issue if she doesn't say a word or suggest a better photo location due to lighting? There were many other options for better lit areas to take these photos. When these issues where brought to her attention her response was that lighting was not her fault (as states in her contract). Really, then do some editing and lighten up the photos you did take before sending them out to the customer! Cropping issues: We had many formal/portrait photos that either had guests in the background or the other photographer, seriously, the other photographer and these were not candid photos! When this was brought to her attention as I sent her 2 samples (not all of them) her response.... "oh sorry missed cropping that photo" but it wasn't just one it was several. But, then she said that all photos received "basic editing".... how is that possible if you missed several obvious cropping issues? She also said "Bridal portraits received extra editing".... when I asked what the difference between basic and extra editing is I received not response. Very few of the photos received the "extra editing." Basic Eye for Detail: Many of the candid photos of our guest were of them standing around and the backs of their heads, less than a dozen out of over a hundred, of them actually looking at the camera. Why would you not ask guest to look at the camera on the majority... So many wasted shots. Also, we had a free prop included in the package.... she took very few photos with this beautiful blue chair and the ones she did take, you can barely see the chair, why??? I want to point out that I am the mother of the bride, not the bride. However, I am the one that planned/executed this wedding for my daughter and son-in-law as they lived in No Cal until a month before the wedding that was in So Cal. When we met with Cindy prior to hiring we did discuss her doing the engagement photos and I believe our package offered a discount for that service, however when it came time to take them. She THEN informed my daughter that she doesn't do them on the weekends at all..... HELLO, you know she lives up North why not mention that in the first meeting and ONLY meeting she offers. Lastly, let me finish by saying there are some really beautiful shots that we did receive. Most of them were included in the sneak peak and added to her site, great! All of them seem to have received the "extra editing".... But, sadly this is only a small portion of the photos we received. Bottom line, had these photos (or at least the majority of them) been professionally edited (received "extra editing"), OR had she offered to do so after this was brought to her attention, this review would have been so different because the majority of our photos would be print ready. But, now I have to go and do her job and edit them before we can print and create the album and it will be quite a bit of work. Not my job, not OK.

Extremely unprofessional. My wife and I lost income due to unforeseen circumstances and were unable…read moreto pay for our wedding this year after having to cancel due to a reservation issue in 2023. We had to cancel the wedding altogether, and thus all of the other services that would go with it. Most of these folks understood that sometimes things outside your control happen. Not Atrin Studio, no no! What we got from them was rude and condescending for no reason. After these messages were sent we were blocked and they proceeded to then attack one of my wife's bridesmaids via text. For clarity: Our venue became unavailable last year during our desired date due to a scheduling conflict with the venue. We were far enough out from our wedding that we were able to reschedule for the same date the following year(2024) and let the other booked party take the venue for 2023. However we lost our jobs in January of this year and had to cancel in entirety. This is unacceptable behavior. Do better. Edit to address the owner: You were EXPRESSLY asked, when we had to reschedule the first time, if you wanted us to pay an additional deposit. You said NO. You did not, AT ANY POINT, tell us that you were booked for this year. While loss of income in 2023 is our fault and we SAID AS MUCH, you canceling two dates this year is on YOU not us. We are not in control of when somebody decides to lay us off. FOR THE RECORD, and it's right there in the text, we ARE sympathetic that our actions last year cost you. We are sympathetic with you losing money BECAUSE WE DON'T CURRENTLY MAKE ANY. Try and spin this however you wish, you were in the wrong for acting unprofessional in this exchange. "I asked about your wedding, not your job" was condescending and uncalled for. How the hell do you think people pay for weddings? You THUMBS DOWN my wife's message to you detailing a personal issue. Unprofessional. YOU TEXTED THE BRIDESMAID WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH PLANNING OUR WEDDING AND ATTACKED HER! But tell me more about how professional you were. We apologized for not reaching out to you. It's right there in the text exchange. We've had more important things on our minds, like finding more work and caring for our loved ones. Again, we're sorry we cost you a paying day last year. This year is on YOU. You reached out amicably, we informed you that we wouldn't be able to move forward, and you proceeded to act condescendingly. When you reached out to us, with MORE THAN AMPLE TIME, we informed you of our situation. Also, you blocked my wife. You only unblocked her today because of this review. My statement remains. This was unprofessional conduct. We won't be using you in the future and we won't be recommending you to any of our friends who are still in SoCal or intend on getting married there.

Their photo and video packages provided the most options at such a competitive price with a great quality of work. They were very professional and pleasant to work with. They showed up on time, went above and beyond to take the most perfect footage. I had also sent them photo and video ideas for the shots, but couldn't really remember it all the day of with all that was going on, but they were so on top of it that they had them all in their phones and would remind me of the shots I wanted to take. We are very happy with all the photos, our highlight and full video and the drone footage. Thank you Atrin Studio for being one of the best vendors of our wedding and capturing our special day so beautifully. We will be treasuring all these memories for years to come.

With her knowledge of the area, she was able to add in a few helpful tips on how to make the day even more magical, from proposal tips to info about the location I planned on. But let's talk about what you really want to hear about: the photos. After the butterflies and excitement of a proposal, my fiancée and I were so nervous that we didn't know how to take photos afterwards. Mary got us distracted -- encouraging me to talk about how I asked for her parents blessing -- and shot some amazing photos. As a testament to Mary's skills, or perhaps my fiancée's beauty, we retouched exactly zero photos. On top of that, within a few days we had a link in our mailbox to see them all, just in time for an Instagram post. I cannot recommend Mary enough. Thank you!

Signing a contract was quick and easy. She created a template for our pictures and was gracious with taking feedback. She came on-time, and flawlessly worked with our 2nd graders and families to take pictures over our specified time. She printed photos on the spot but also later provided me with a link to a downloadable album as well as an online photo gallery which she told me she will host for a year.
