So disappointed when I got our wedding photos back. Thousands of pictures, no thought to framing or where the photographer should be to get a decent shot. Looks like pictures wer...
e taken from a guest on the sidelines in the back of the ceremony. Second photographer can be seen in some shots. Amateur, average at best pictures of ceremony and reception. Key moments missed, no good pictures of first kiss, first dance. Even the “special” pictures were nothing spectacular. Wouldn’t recommend.
Kona Blue was absolutely amazing. They captured all the right moments, perfectly. Cindy was very well prepared, which relieved some of the stresses that we had. I would definite...

Cindy and Haley did our engagement photos in April 2017 and we have booked them for our wedding in January 2018! My fiance and I are not the most comfortable around a camera but w...
e both felt comfortable enough to pose and we actually enjoyed ourselves! The engagement photos came out great and we are excited for our wedding photos to come! You won't regret booking Kona Blue to do your photos!
Cindy and her daugher were my photographers for my wedding on October 7, 2017. I can’t stop starring at my beautiful photos. Kona blue photography is the best. They not only take ...
amazing photos but they take care of their couples and treat them with so much kindness. I highly recommend them to any and all brides. Thanks for making my day so special and memorable.

day go smoothly. Working with Kona Blue Wedding Photography was THEE best decision we made in all of our wedding planning- we feel truly fortunate to have found them. With all the noise and information flying around, Cindy would bring it back to us and ask," what do you want?" She will be relentless in discovering your vision and will be your hero in bringing it to fruition!
Their ability to capture quality and timeless photography is evident in their portfolio, so we are not surprised that we love our photos as well. If you make one investment in your wedding day, whether big or small, extravagant or simple - make it Kona Blue. Your day will be so much more enjoyable knowing all your memories will be captured.
Thank you Cindy and Haley!
Cindy and Haley did and amazing job with what venue I had to offer. Even though my day was very stressed, and I didn’t think I had the best room to get ready in, my photos game out...
way beyond what I had hoped for. We got tons of photos that look beautiful that I wasn’t thinking would look good when I was in the moment taking them. Even my MOH said “wow that lady did amazing” when seeing my photos. Thanks you guys!
Cindy and Haley were absolutely amazing. They were a dream to work with and I couldn't have asked for better. With all of the wedding photographers out there, I can't be more thank...
ful that we chose them. I'm in awe while looking through our photos. (And I only have our sneak peek!) I can't wait to see the rest! I can't thank you ladies enough; you're awesome!
Cindy is absolutely wonderful. she made sure we got all the special shots we wanted and I can't say enough about how beautiful the photos We are very happy indeed.
I can't say enough good things about Kona Blue! Cindy and Haley were everything I could have hoped for. Cindy was wonderful when it came to communicating before the wedding and eve...
n more impressive the day of. She provided us with 22 photos just 3 days after the wedding as a sneak peak which was great since I was anxious to post on Instagram! Then only 2 and a half weeks after the wedding we received our almost 2,000 images. The whole thing was effortless on our part, they just showed up and did their thing. I had heard horror stories from other brides about how bad and unprofessional their photographer had been and they were so jealous when they saw how great my photos turned out and how quickly I received them. The pricing was one of the best I found and I honestly don't think I could have received better photos even if I had paid thousands more. Thank you Kona Blue, our photos are gorgeous and we're beyond happy!
Cindy and Haley are amazing! My fiancé booked them as "hidden" photographers for his proposal at Sunset Cliffs. The photos are absolutely incredible! They both made us feel so comf...
ortable in front of the lens and even stayed to take a few shots and a short video after the big moment. AND Cindy and Haley sent a sneak peak of a few photos THE DAY AFTER the proposal! I would highly recommend Kona Blue Wedding Photography - you won't be disappointed!
Cindy and Haley werw such amazingly warm women to work with on such a hectic day! Even in the weeks leading up to the wedding Cindy was thoughtful and thorough in answering all my ...
questions and flexible with my thoughts and last minute changes. They were brilliant to work with and extremely professional! Look no further than these amazing women!
They were both so sweet and even helped my best man attach his boutonnier when I didn't know how! She has a great eye and it really was highlighted in the photos! It was a perfect and hectic day, and all the while they laughed with us through the hiccups.
They were both such a pleasure to work with and both of our families were singing their praises by the end of the night!
we loved cindy and haley, our pictures we so beautiful. we had a vow renewal with both our girls and was a little nervous because our girls were little, but we got amazing shots o...
f our family. I absolutely LOVE our pictures. you just can't go wrong with them they are amazing!
Would recommend Cindy and Haley as wedding photographers any day! Very kind, respectful, honest and experienced photographers! We had our wedding at the historic Mission Inn hotel ...
and they knew all the spots to take the perfect photo. We even received our copy of the photos in only a few days.
Cindy and Haley are beyond amazing! They have taken many outstanding photos of my family and I that we have hanging in our home. Those photos are so beautiful and I love looking at...

mera, and our happiness on our wedding day shines through in photos my family will treasure for generations. I spent 18 months planning my wedding, and i`m so thankful Cindy had my wedding date available. LOV E!!!!
As the mother of the bride, I was amazed at the moments that you captured of my daughter Maureen's wedding. My grandchildren played a big part in the wedding and your pictures made...
me relive those moments. You made all of us feel relaxed especially the bride. The quality of your pictures were amazing. Thank you so much for the memories we will have for a lifetime.
Cindy was great. The pictures were wonderful and she had a great eye. Captured our day and surroundings perfectly. Her daughter was even our official witness for our ceremony!
I would like to start off by saying Cindy & Haley were the best! Craig and I were just having a small wedding at Winery with our children, immediate family & friends and we came...
across there website, right away we knew they would catch all the intimate moments we wanted and they did, they even caught some that were so touching they made us cru, very special! They went over and beyond to take the time to catch every thing you would not even think of and that is exactly what you don't need to be thinking of on your special day occasion! The photos they did we will cherish forever and we will always be thankful we found them. Also, would like to mention they are so reasonable which make it also very nice for all to enjoy such exceptional photographers! I highly recommend using them for any all of your beautiful special occasions. Thank you again Cindy & Haley
Cindy and Haley shot my engagement photos at La Jolla Cove and captured moments that I look at and think "WOW" that's me!
I got married at Turtle Bay Resort on the Fabulous North ...
Shore of Oahu. I had the greatest luck as two hurricanes decided that they too wanted to be guests. Cindy and Haley were by my side the whole time: they captured all the moments a bride treasures but is too busy to dwell on. They both exuded calmness and professionalism in a stressful situation. I love my photographs!
Thank you Cindy and Haley!
Really extremely disappointed with the lack of customer service and communication! I looked at both Kona Blue Photography's website and Facebook page. I was very impressed with the...
pricing and quality of photography. I was looking to book an engagement session so I submitted my contact information through the website. CINDY emailed me and then an email chain started over a few days. She never ONCE called me. I told her what my preferences were and she gave me a few good ideas. I believe one location she suggested was Torrey Pines park. I looked on the Facebook page for other engagement photos taken at that location. The pictures were nice but my fiance and I were not very fond of the park. So I mentioned that to CINDY, of course through email. And she also mentioned normally engagement sessions are done on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That works fine with me. But then she emailed me, she can set us up for Wednesday, October 12. Not a Tues or Thursday like she mentioned prior. So unfortunately that date did not work out for us. I emailed her back requesting to change it on a Thursday, Oct 20. After that she stopped responding. I emailed again, thinking maybe she forgot to reply or she didn't receive my email request to change the date. No response still. Surely she's not ignoring me. Well I decided to call MYSELF, and she answered. I told her who I was and she remembered. Then she said, "You need to look for another photographer." I said, "okay, what was the problem?" She said, "There's no problem, you just need to look for another photographer." I was so mad that she couldn't even give me an answer why she basically DID NOT WANT to schedule my engagement session. I did not say another word, as I was so baffled of the lack of customer service she had. I hung up the phone without another word. And immediately typed this review which will not be the only place I enter one. Obviously, she wants to do what she wants, and doesn't care what a customer's preference is. I guess you can act like that if you own your own business. But I expect an explanation why and also to ignore emails, very unprofessional!!! Pictures might be wonderful looking, but customer service lacking greatly! I don't know how many people on here are saying Cindy was "understanding" and "worked with you." She ABSOLUTELY DID NOT!! She could not even have the guts to explain what the problem was. Denying there is a problem, when her actions obviously shows there was a PROBLEM for HER!
I can't begin to describe how wonderful the experience with Kina blue has been so far! Our first call with Cindy and we were hooked. She understood our budget and worked with us m...
aking sure to not let us miss out on a thing.
She is flexible!! I had to change the location and time of our engagement shoot due to an unforeseen event and she was able to accommodate us and she picked out the most beautiful site for us!
She really captured what we wanted and then some. We are so thrilled she will be with us on our wedding day!!! She got a feel for the look and vibe we were going for. Please
Cindy and Hayley were amazing to work with and truly made our wedding special by captivating every amazing moment! Their creativity and ways to incorporate our dog into the ceremon...
y and pictures was amazing! I highly recommend using them for weddings or any photo occasion.
Gorgeous photographs taken by Cindy! We are so thankful that Cindy was there to capture the special moments of our wedding day in Orange County. She is not only an amazing and cr...
eative photographer, but she is also very patient and kind. We were so happy to get our high quality photos back so quickly. We had a wonderful experience with her and highly recommend hiring her.
I was married at the mission inn back in March of 2016 and used jobs blue for my photography. The photographers were on time and helpful. I live in Salt Lake City so I had to go of...
f of reviews myself... Mona blue is abolutely a solid choice and remarkably affordable. There were a few photos that I wish I would have had but I also have some truly unique and amazing photos. I just recently had one of them framed and the framer thought it was an art photo and didn't realize it was my wedding photo... They were awesome and I would use them again if I lived in SoCal!
Cindy and Haley were amazing to work with. They both made me and my husband, and family, feel important throughout the day. It goes without saying that the quality of pictures they...
provided were beautiful. The way they were able to capture moments with large groups and intimate (when we didn't think anyone was looking) resulted in photographs that will last forever. We never felt pressured and the transition between locations for photo shots went smoothly, in the midst of what could be considered chaotic with all the family and friends wanting time with us. They were professional but also so friendly that the entire process exceeded our expectations. I definitely recommend Kona Blue to any friends/family/strangers who are in the market for wedding photography!
Cindy got great shots of our wedding. She was really professorial and affordable. She was also very easy to contact and always kept me posted about the photos. She was great to w...
ork with! She made my husband and I feel real comfortable and she knew how to put us in the right poses for awesome pictures. I highly recommend hireing her, she made our big day that much more special.
Cindy and Haley have been nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we met them, they instantly made us feel at ease, have gone above and beyond to make us feel special and prior...
itized, and have done such incredible work with super fast turn around time. They're really dependable and consistent with communication, and know how to direct you to make you feel comfortable, while listening to what YOU want. So grateful to have met them, and beyond blessed to have them capture our big day. Teanna & Danny
My wife and I have nothing but good things to say about our photography results. We planned a simple beach wedding with just our immediate family members on Coronado Beach. We did ...
not personally know any photographers in the area so we went in blind. After searching for photographers we came across Cindy and after explaining our plans for a low-stress, laid back service, she seemed like the perfect fit. Cindy communicated professionally and timely throughout the entire process. She gave us specific instructions where and when to be, had great ideas of shots, super easy to work with, and has a fun personality. Before our wedding ceremony she met us on the beach and we took couple pictures just by ourselves. Our families arrived shortly after and she worked with all of us taking whichever shots we wanted. If we could do it over again we would choose her every time. We picked the 1.5 hour service and she promised on the website a certain number of photos but she gave us well over her quota. The photos came out beautifully and we are very pleased with her style and quality.
