I loved working with Kina!
I interviewed several great photographers and selected Kina for several reasons - I loved the quality of her fine-art style, which is elegant and romantic and flattering to her subjects. I also enjoyed talking ...with her on the initial interview - she is personable and knowledgeable, and those traits shone through throughout our events.
Kina is also a consummate professional, and knows her stuff! We were married in September 2015, on one of the hottest days of the year. Kina and her assistant, Jason, remained cool and collected all day, despite the blazing heat, last-minute location changes, and one grumpy groom. At the ceremony and reception they did an amazing job of appearing to be everywhere at once. They were a pleasure to work with and even goofed around in our photo booth!
She publishes helpful hints too - lists of recommended photo shoot spots, and grooming tips for the photo shoots. When our original photo shoot location fell through on our wedding day, she helped us pick another location close by which worked beautifully, and she found a couple of impromptu spots along the way as well - all of which she made feel seamless!
Our final pics have not yet arrived, but our engagement pics are amazing - and combined with the "sneak peek" pics we got from the ceremony/reception, I feel confident we will love the results!
I appreciate the fact that she shoots both with digital and film - she fashioned herself a utility belt so she could carry multiple cameras at once. Like a superhero!
Kina offers a range of packages, and was great about letting us customize.
I highly recommend Kina as a photographer! But call her quickly - she books far in advance.
