We had a photo session with Tyson on our vacation to Maui. Although the photos are still being edited it was very clear that we made the right choice in booking with better together photography. He was very well organized and was super knowledgeable on where to go to get the best lighting and shots near Kapalua beach. I know the 5 star review will stand when we get the final photos. Thanks! read more

Words cant even express how amazing our day was!! Melissa was absolutely the BEST!! So wonderful. She truly made our days so special and our pics AMAZING! Best day ever! Tyson is so amazing as well. His communication was great!!! Would highly recommend them! 10 Stars!!! read more

We were going to Maui for our baby moon. Doing a beach front maternity photoshoot was a must. We found Better Together on Yelp. I immediately loved their style and how they captured the beauty of the island. I sent a Yelp inquiry and got a response right away. We went over dates and ideas. I went to their instagram and that is what sealed the deal. We booked the date and time (7am) 15-minute shoot. The day before the shoot, Marcelo, texted me with confirmation and answered all my questions. Fast forward to the shoot morning. We met at the beach they recommended, DT Fleming, which was stunning. We met Marcelo at the nearby burger shack. He was super friendly and easy to work with. We like quick photo shoots so he was able to direct and take photos super easily. About 2 weeks later, we got our photos. They are AMAZING. I couldn't be happier with them. Thank you Better Together and Marcelo for everything. read more

We've never had professional photos taken before and decided to book with Better Together Photography based on reviews. We booked a mini session with Ty for an early time slot as we have two littles, 10 mo old and 3 year old. Ty was so great with helping us move our scheduled date last minute and then also being so patient and kind with our kids while we tried to take family photos. He was so great with getting our kids excited! Our photos turned out so amazing, much better than we expected given the challenges and coordination of our kids. We are in absolute awe of how beautiful these photos turned out. It was a great way to capture our little family in paradise. Highly recommend and will definitely use again in the future. read more

The WORST decision of my trip was booking Better Together Photography. From poor communication to forgetting to send us our once in a lifetime baby moon pics and on top of that forgetting to edit once they did send. These folks are definitely operating on Maui time. Wasted $1000 for the worse service ever. Got me ! Proceed with caution because he looks good but doesn't walk the talk. Refused to send me the email thread showing the time stamp which he claims he sent. Responded to me in a text message and now blocked me from further contact. Claims I should spend my money on removing my tattoo which I asked him to edit. Very forgetful and spacey guy. Poor business man. No wonder he couldn't make it in the states guy lives on his own time. He has even deleted access to my photos so I can no longer view them. I am going to have to sue this guy now. read more

Scheduled a maternity shoot while enjoying our baby moon vacation. Our Airbnb host recommended Better Together photography and I'm very grateful they did. Our photographer was Melissa and she was great! On time, open minded and very outgoing. My fiancé and I are both unfiltered and witty individuals who enjoy a great laugh and I'm glad Melissa was about to join us in on the laughs while also capturing our authentic moments. Although we're still waiting for our photos (taken 4/25/25. Takes about 10-14 days to get them) our experience with BTP was easy going and fun. Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a maternity shoot while in Maui. read more

We had Tyson and his team back in 2018 and were so happy to connect with him again. In 2018 it was for our wedding vow renewal and just recently hired him again for our families sunset photo shoot. Our friends back home have even used Tyson too, small world. He is super professional and so friendly. Makes you feel so comfortable and captures amazing photos. I would highly suggest to hire him! read more

I'm so grateful for Better Together Photography! They took so many beautiful photos of my fiancé and I at our engagement! Sarai was so nice!! We are so grateful we got to work with her! She really took the time to make sure we got the perfect shots! We loved the photos so much we ended up being all 166 instead of the 30 that came with the package we originally purchased. Tyson's editing on the photos was also spectacular. Looks even more like the perfect golden hour. Better Together did an amazing job making the moment look as enchanted as it felt! read more

Tyson helped me plan our surprise proposal on DT flemings beach and it could not have gone any better! Tyson was super helpful and always responded quickly, and even helped maintain the surprise. Me and my new fiancée are in love with the photos he took, he captured the moment perfectly. We are even hoping he can come take photos at the wedding! read more

We used Better Toghether Photography for a family portrait session for my father's 70th. To start off the communications were great. Not only did they make recommendations for the photoshoot location options but they also recommended some local eats. This was our first time doing a photo shoot like this they made us feel at ease and we didn't want our photo session to end our photographer Marcelo felt like family. Now lets talk about the final product. I couldn't be happier they photos were easy to access and select. I highly recommend. read more

We had an amazing family session in Maui with Better Together Photography. Our photographer was Tresecca and she was a true gem. Our session took place at Kapalua Bay around sunset and the pictures turned out fabulous. Tresecca was professional and yet very personable and she made our family of four feel so comfortable. I highly recommend Tresecca and Better Together Photography. If you go with them you will have an awesome experience and get some priceless photos! read more

Captured my engagement. Recommended a great spot. Great photographer that made us comfortable. Great service and great pics!

I'm very grateful for how accommodating Better Together Photography is and how easy it is to book with them! Tyson was very helpful and professional and fun to work with! Thank you so much! I'm excited to see my photos! read more

HIGHLY recommend Better Together Photography! Our group of three showed up late after a way longer than expected car trip and hike and Marcelo was fantastic about it all. We are not a super serious bunch and I think he captured us perfectly. Customer service, response, cost of the session and photos are well worth the memory! read more

I am so happy that we chose Better Together Photography! We knew we wanted to have family photos on the beach while on our vacation in Maui and I researched many other photographers but feel lucky to have chosen Better Together. They were very responsive to me and they were able to get us in on a day that worked for us. Marcelo was our photographer and he was very friendly. My kids felt very comfortable with him and he made everyone laugh. He caught the most stunning photos! Look no further if you need a photographer to catch some beautiful photos! read more

Book with Better Together! I scoured Yelp, read tons of reviews and looked at countless photographer sites. We wanted a big family pic, individual families and candid shots. We fit it all into an hour and had a few minutes to spare. I coordinated with Tyson and our photographer was Ian. Everything was easy, and best of all, the photos are awesome. I wholeheartedly recommend Better Together and would absolutely contact them again. read more

The whole process from booking to downloading our images was so easy. Taking family photos with a toddler can be one of the most daunting tasks but Tyson truly made the experience fun for both our 2 year old son and us! The photos were beautiful, definitely the best professional photos I've ever received. Highly recommend Better Together Photography! read more

Yes they were so nice and the pictures turned out amazing. I messed up and didn't look at the location they sent to my correctly and they were able to work with me and still with the limited amount of time so their thing and take multiple pictures I was able to choose from. read more

Tyson is a gem, and was so fun to work with! Our "Sweet Sixteen," daughter had a photoshoot, and was quite moody that day. Tyson broke the ice with her, as she is a bit shy sometimes. He captured her beautiful smile, and added in some fun family photo ops as well. This was just before the fires, and Tyson has truly captured some incredible moments of our wonderful time in West Maui. His genuine personality, has been showcased by delivering a product, with excellent customer service. Even with, all he's been dealt with since our shoot. Hire him, you won't be disappointed... Bravo and Mahalo Tyson read more

We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary in Maui this month. Before the trip, I was looking for a photographer to capture our special milestone. I received quotes from multiple photographers in Maui but I was drawn to Better Together Photography. When I looked at their gallery, there was something magical captured in their photos and I told this to Tyson. And sure enough, I made the best decision. We had our session with Sarai. Our original photoshoot was in Kapalua but it was cloudy and drizzling. She told us ahead of time about changing the location as she wants us to have a great session. Sarai was easy to work with. The best part is her directing us on what to do or how to pose as we are not used to it. Their turnaround time is 10-14 days. I requested to have a few ready for our anniversary day and Tyson did everything he could to fulfill his promise. For that, I am absolutely grateful . I also want to thank Sarai. I cried when I saw the photos. They were beautiful. Thank you for capturing such great moments. I would absolutely recommend Better Together Photography. If I could give 100 stars , I would. Tyson and team, Mahalo for making our anniversary so memorable!!! read more

Tyson did an amazing job at capturing our first family trip to Maui! Our 16 month old was not adjusting to the time change and Tyson was so kind to move our appointment time up so it wouldn't fall on his nap time. Our boy was a bit fussy during the photography session but Tyson was super fun and friendly and rolled with it. The pictures turned out beautiful and we are so glad we did it. We would highly recommend going with Better Together Photography and would do it again the next time we visit Maui! read more

Look no further for a photographer!!! Book now! My heart is over joyed at how well our family photos turned out! Memories for a life time! Booking is easy, location recommendations are beautiful, the results are priceless! Tresseca was amazing and guided our poses, which made it easy to capture my three active keiki's. Even at the end of the shoot she asked if there was anymore poses or shots we wanted captured. My only regret is not booking a longer session. So thankful I have so many beautiful photos to choose from! Thank you so much BT Photography! We will definitely rebook for our next Maui visit! read more

I wish I could post a "10 Star" Review! Tyson is the ultimate professional! He was SO fun to work with and made our special day even better! He is fun, kind and creative. He has GREAT energy. Everyone at our wedding celebration commented on how wonderful he was. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Tyson for any event. I hope we meet again the next time we are blessed enough to visit this beautiful island. read more

Tresseca was our photographer. She was absolutely amazing. She was able to get our little man to smile. I do not think there has ever been one person who can get him to warm up as quick as she did. She captured our first out of state vacation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in a heart beat. read more

Tyson from Better Together Photography is absolutely incredible to work with!! My husband and I eloped to Maui with some loved ones in February and couldn't have asked for a better experience. We're usually very awkward folks in front of a camera, but Tyson made us feel so relaxed and at ease that we had fun and literally couldn't stop smiling and laughing! He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and soaking up the moments on such a beautiful beach. Tyson wasn't just there to take photos - he was there to build a relationship with us, be a part of our special day, and help tell our story through his art! I was so excited how quickly Tyson was able to get us sneak peaks and our photo gallery too. Can't recommend Tyson & Better Together Photography enough!! read more

Better Together Photography did an amazing job capturing our wedding day! We absolutely love our photos!! Tyson was fantastic in capturing the special moments of the day and he went above and beyond! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about him and I would highly recommend him! We will definitely use him again when we come back to Maui for family photos! read more

Tyson was awesome. Found his company on Yelp as my family was coming out to Maui on vacation and we wanted pictures taken. He was patient, easy to communicate with and provided a great end result of amazing pictures. Not knowing the area well he offered a perfect location. We are very happy! read more

Tyson was fantastic. We weren't sure that capturing our our large family group of 13, ranging in age from 5 months to 75 years old, and including 2 toddlers and 2 grumpy-ish pre-teens, would be possible. Tyson was energetic, enthusiastic and warm, which put all of us at ease. We've had many occasions to use photographers (weddings, bat mitzvah, etc) and this was definitely the least stressful. The final pictures are fantastic, beautifully edited and lots of options to choose from. Communication was great from beginning to end. Great reviews on multiple platforms helped us choose Better Together and we are happy to add our 5 star review! read more

If you want beach pics then you found your place. Excellent communication before the session. Tyson shot our family and he was right on time and texted that he was very close. We choose a sunrise session which was on an amazing day in Maui. Tyson picked beautiful green locations for pics along with awesome beach shots. My son had a blast taking pictures in the sand and water. He was very comfortable and loved posing (and getting wet). Tyson captured our family perfect on film and as a result we had a difficult time choosing our portraits. Our pictures proofs were provided quickly. Once we picked our pics and paid then our final pictures jpg files were sent (8x10 is coming via snail mail). They also have a nice studio near the center of Lahiana and there you can see your proofs on a big screen along with looking at different printing samples which include metal. You don't have to go to the studio as you can review when you get home if you are at the end of your vacation. I'm so glad I followed the advice of fellow yelpers. This place is a gem. read more

What incredible photos! Everything about working with Tyson and his team was flawless and so easy. We had excellent communication with Ian, our photographer, before and during the session. Tyson was quick to get us our proofs even though it was the week of Christmas. He was quick to respond to emails and edit requests. I was going to be happy if we got one really good photo of our family of four. Now I have numerous fantastic photos from which to choose! Because of how Better Together does the packages and pricing I was able to download 60 of my favorites included in the package price. I think that is a great deal! I can't believe how beautiful all of the photos turned out. The time of day, lighting, lens choices and poses are all so good! Don't even bother looking for another photographer. Better Together Photography is the best we have ever worked with and I cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

Best part of our trip! We had a large group photo session with Tresseca. We were in Kaanapali for Grandpa's 75th birthday. There were 13 of us including young children. She came out to our resort and spend an hour with us taking pictures of the large group as well as smaller group shots with the kids and individual families. She was so great with the kids, even the 2 yr old that wasn't having it. LOL! I would recommend this husband and wife duo to anyone that wants to have a special memory of their trip to Hawaii. read more

My husband and I couldn't really have a proper wedding because of COVID so we had no pictures. We decided to hire a photographer on our honeymoon. We definitely hired the right person!!! Tyson was so extremely professional and took fantastic pictures!! We opted in for the 30min session for $375 and 30 digital copies... he spent 60 minutes with us!! He was absolutely wonderful!! We had originally were going to go with the photographer in the Hyatt regency and my husband recommend to look outside because they were outrageously expensive! Tyson was the perfect photographer!!! Would highly recommend!! read more

Tyson was absolutely the BEST! He recommended the beautiful location, and it was beyond beautiful. My now Fiancé and Tyson worked together and it was a huge surprise. My fiancé knows how much I love taking photos and the memories they hold, so he arranged the photoshoot and he also proposed! Tyson captured a moment I will never forget!!! read more

Tyson was awesome! You can tell he has such a huge genuine heart and a great guy from the start. We don't have our pictures back yet but through the experience with him you can tell he loves what he does and I am confident that will show through the photos. Cheers bro thank you. This is a little behind the scenes shot that I can't wait to see. read more

Better Together Photography - Here's a little behind the scenes. - Session Photography Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

I booked an early morning photoshoot (7AM to be exact!) with Better Together Photography. We arrived 10 minutes early and Tyson was already there prepping for the shoot. He greeted each member of my 6-person family (2 adults, 4 kids) with a smile and a hand shake. I knew from that moment we'd have a wonderful, positive experience. Tyson led us to some of his favorite spots at Kapalua Bay and worked tirelessly, but always with a bright smile, to capture the essence and personality of each family member. We finished the shoot not overtired or ready to go back to sleep, but wanting to spend the rest of the day on the beach reliving such a wonderful photo session. There was a bit of a delay in receiving the proofs from the session, but they did have a hurricane and a fire to deal with. So, from start (booking the appointment) to finish (receiving the proofs and marking my favorites), I had an incredible experience and could not recommend Tyson and the team at Better Together Photography enough. Mahalo, Better Together Photography! read more

If I could give Kati 100 stars I would. My husband and I got engaged in December and just so happened to have a vacation planned in Maui in May. We both agreed that we wanted to do something very intimate instead of having a wedding. I searched through several photographers but from the minute I received responses from Kati, I knew she was the one we were supposed to work with. It can be somewhat stressful placing your trust in someone you have never worked with in a different state but from day one Kati did everything possible to let me know everything would be perfect, it was honestly so much more than I could have ever imagined. I had the most relaxing, stress free wedding day and I owe a lot of it to her. She picked the location, which was an incredibly beautiful spot called Makena Cove or Secret Cove. She took care of the permits required and even make my beautiful bouquet. My husband was super nervous about the pictures, but when she started we didn't even have to think about what we were supposed to do, she just made us so comfortable. If you are looking for a photographer, Kati is definitely who you should hire. read more

Extremely quick reply and great service. Photos were quick and painless and the pictures came out amazing! Wife and I were really happy!

I can't say enough good things about Better Together Photography. I worked with Kati to schedule the appointment, and she was quick to respond, suggested several great locations and was very professional. Tyson was the photographer assigned to our shoot, and he was so nice, professional and good at what he does! He did an amazing job getting my kids to take great photos (which is not always an easy task). He was so patient and suggested such good settings and poses. We had the Aloha session, but he spent more than the hour we were allotted getting photographs. I also loved how three days later we were able to visit their studio and see the photographs and get the digital versions to take home with us from our trip right then and there. Plus, we have the option to purchase additional prints, metal prints, albums, etc. and they all include free photoshop retouching. We really like to take family photos on vacation, and I will use them again next time we are in Maui. read more

We could not be happier with Tyson & his wife's work. We did an early morning 30min shoot with our 5 month old. Tyson suggested the location (baby beach in Lahaina), which was perfect. Tyson is so friendly, he put us all at ease, and the photos came out great. My mom even said "you all look so relaxed!".. which is unusual for me in photos :) Within about 2 weeks, we received about 75 photos, all edited. I've done many photoshoots in Maui with my family over the years, and these are the best so far. We can't wait to come back and work with Tyson for years to come! Mahalo!! read more
