The entire process from booking, to planning, and finally executing was so smooth. I was very appreciative of their accommodations to book over 4 months ahead of time and their secrecy to ensure the proposal was a surprise. On the day of the shoot, Israel discreetly informed me of the plan for the photos and how to progress into the engagement. Israel's talent with photography should not be understated. He has a keen eye for framing, using the environment to amplify his subjects, and profound creativity in shot composition to capture memories in the most authentic way. My fiancé and I are extremely grateful for his professionalism, skill, and warm attitude that made us comfortable the entire time. I would STRONGLY recommend working with Pacific Dream Photography in any way that fits your photography needs, but, particularly with Israel who captured our important day better than I imagined.

We did have to reschedule due to weather and our photographer Cynthia wanted to be sure we were totally pleased - could not have been easier to adjust for the showers - she was very sweet to research and let us know a better time. Cynthia had very creative ideas and brought out the best in our party of four (mom, dad, two girls in their 20s) and she got great results We just viewed our proofs with Mahea who was so patient as we all gave our input. She saw a lot of things that we would not have caught and gave great advice. We could not recommend Pacific Dream more highly!!! Thank you, ladies, for a perfect experience.

They were one of the videographers recommended by our wedding planner and when I compared the portfolios from all the vendors, the videos from Walczuk Productions made the biggest impression on me. I knew we had to have them film our wedding. It took a bit over 12 weeks to receive our wedding highlights but it was definitely worth it. It was beautifully done! They captured all the emotions and scenery perfectly. All our friends and family loved it. Many said it brought tears to their eyes. In fact, the Four Seasons PR team saw a clip of it and asked us for our permission to use it for promotional purposes. I would highly recommend the Walczuk team for their artistic and beautiful videos!

Videographers are a dime a dozen, but real storytellers are very hard to come by. Ryan was meant to do this. He did an AH-MAZING job creating our wedding video, and it's the most frequently shared element of our entire wedding and we continue to get complements on how beautifully it was edited together. Being in the advertising industry, I really did anticipate to watch it and have some feedback to give. But after watching it for the first time, my husband and I were in tears. We looked at each other and literally said "he nailed it." All of our friends and family are also blown away by the artistry. They can't watch it and not shed a tear. Ryan captured the day so beautifully, and really helped to share it with the Ohana that wasn't able to make it to the islands.

My husband and I planned our destination wedding remotely and came across Molly Irene Media in our…read moresearch for wedding photographers. She was prompt to respond to our inquiry and it was easy to work with her to secure the date, setup the contract, and discuss what we wanted for our wedding, even from several thousand miles away. We met in person the week of the wedding and walked around the venue to plan which areas would be good to take our group photos on the day of, and also because she wanted to see how the sunlight would be at the time of our ceremony and reception. This preparation and attention to detail came through in the images we got back from our wedding day. On the big day, Molly and her assistant, Lux, were on time and quickly got to work capturing all of the important, as well as the easily overlooked, moments of the day. From the final hour of preparation before walking down the aisle, to standing at the alter, to the dinner & reception, Molly and Lux were never in the way, but rather stealthy captured amazing pictures without distracting from the event itself. Having been to weddings in the past where the sound of the camera distracted from the vows, or the photographer blocked guests from seeing the ceremony or speeches - we were so lucky to have had these moments captured without any distraction - so much so that some friends later commented that they didn't know we had a photographer during parts of the day. And then to the quality of the pictures Molly captured - absolutely stunning and so artistic. Family and friends have continued to comment on just how amazing the pictures turned out. It was truly priceless to have one of the most important days of our life captured in such spectacular beauty. In all, Molly is very organized, timely, and responsive - all attributes that made it easy to work with her as we planned our destination wedding. But most of all, she is incredibly talented. Throughout our wedding day, Molly's calm and confident aura put us at ease, and the pictures that she took are images that we will cherish forever. When a wedding day can quickly speed by, and little details can turn into stressful events, having a photographer that could capture the beauty of the day and make everyone feel calm and happy was truly a gift.

My wedding was technically a destination wedding even though I was "going home" to do it--I had…read moreseveral possible photographers in mind whose work I had followed through mutual friends, but they all wanted to charge astronomical amounts. I was able to find Molly in a google search and upon speaking with her via email found her rates to be significantly more reasonable and she was very accommodating in terms of what I had planned. The day of the ceremony, she was very easy-going and creative--even climbing up a nearby tree to capture a few unique shots (the circle of feet in white rubber slippers), most of which have become our favorite shots of the day! For having only met her via email, and worked with her the one day of my wedding, I have been thrilled with my wedding photos ever since! I would gladly use her again for any other photographer-worthy event should I ever be home on the Big Island again!

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.

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.

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!
