We've worked with other photographers in Maui and can confidently say that Tim is the best. Our family takes yearly trips to Maui and we try to schedule an annual photo shoot each time we visit. We first worked with Tim in March 2025 for our maternity shoot, and it was such a great experience that we booked him again in February 2026. In 2025 it was just the three of us, my wife, our 4 year old daughter, and me, with our baby boy still in my wife's belly. This year it was so special to come back with our son, now 9 months old and work with Tim again. He is not only a very talented photographer, but also incredibly detailed and professional. You can tell he takes his work seriously and genuinely cares about getting the best shots. At the same time, he is friendly, funny and amazing with kids. He made our daughter laugh, kept everything light, fun, and captured beautiful moments even with a wiggly 9 month old involved...lol. We used our maternity photos for our Christmas cards last year and received so many compliments from friends and family. This years photos came out just as incredible and we plan on using Tim as our go to photographer every time we're in Maui. If you are looking for someone who is talented, patient, and truly great to work with, we highly recommend Tim/OhWowFotos! read more

A well deserved 5 stars all the way. We take family photos quite often and Tim is one of the best photographers I've had. He was very patient with our 2 small kids and 4 grandparents aka like kids... and made the process fun and easy, we had a great time. He knew how to instruct each person on the best pose and our pics turned out amazing. Mahalo Tim for capturing a beautiful family moment together in Maui. read more

I cannot recommend Tim enough! From the moment I reached out to book him, he was amazing. Throughout the entire process, he was personable, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. We absolutely love his photography and videography style! He captured our 10 year vow renewal and picnic beautifully and perfectly encapsulated the moment. Not only was the final product stunning, but he also finished everything much earlier than expected. I cried when I saw how beautiful it all turned out. My son still asks to watch the video because it feels like we're in a movie. It's hard to impress my husband, but Tim did just that! He's the best photographer we've ever worked with, and we've worked with quite a few over the years. Book him now - you won't regret it! His talent has no limits! read more

Tim was an absolute dream to work with for our maternity photos. From the moment we arrived, he made my wife and me feel completely at ease--like we were just hanging out with a friend who happened to have a camera and some serious talent. He guided us through every pose without ever making it feel forced, and somehow turned a normally awkward process into something genuinely fun. The whole session felt effortless, comfortable, and full of good energy. If you want someone who's professional, patient, and knows how to capture the magic of the moment, Tim is your guy. We couldn't be happier with the experience--or the memories he helped us create. read more

Tim and his team were an absolute gift to work with for our wedding in Maui. From the very beginning, they created such an uplifting, supportive atmosphere that made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera considering we have never done professional photography before. Tim isn't just incredibly skilled behind the lens; he truly listens and goes above and beyond to honor your vision. He captured our day so beautifully, with every special moment reflected in the most natural and magical way! We are forever grateful for the memories he gave us through his work. On top of photography, Tim also offers videography and breathtaking drone footage, which brought an entirely new dimension to how our day was captured. If you're looking for someone who combines artistry, professionalism, and heart, Tim is the one. Mahalo nui loa Tim!!! read more

Tim was amazing! He made everyone feel comfortable even in what could've been an awkward setting. We did our shoot around sunset with a 1, 4, and 8 year old, and he was so patient, understanding, and great with our kids. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. I get family photos done every year, and he was by far one of the quickest to get our pictures back and they turned out beautiful! My only complaint is that he lives too far away, otherwise we'd book him every single time! read more

We were looking for a family photoshoot during our trip to Maui, HI, and found Tim (OhWowPhotos) through Yelp--he already had 5-star reviews, and now we know why! We couldn't be happier with the experience. From the start, Tim was professional, easy to communicate with, and knew exactly how to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos came out absolutely stunning--perfectly capturing the beauty of Maui and the special moments we shared as a family. He knew all the best spots for a photoshoot and had a great eye for detail and lighting. If you're looking for a photographer in Maui who delivers high-quality work and a stress-free experience, we highly recommend Tim! A true talent and a joy to work with. read more

We were extremely pleased with our final edited photos. Excellent value!! Would highly recommend Tim's services for any family or couple! Thank you so much Tim!! read more

What can be said that hasn't for the amazing Tim of OhWowFotos? We were lucky to be referred by a friend to Tim. He was so easy to work with and thorough with details. Communication was professional and consistent. Our family was nervous as we never had a professional shoot done before. Tim put us at ease quickly with his warm mannerisms. The location site we picked surprisingly packed and the waves were a bit rough; we had 2 other shoots in the same area, but Tim worked his magic and captured some cherished photos for us. I would highly recommend anyone who's looking to capture some special moments to connect with Tim. You will not be disappointed with the care and attention. Mahalo, Tim! Until we see you again read more

Tim was such a pleasure to work with. He made the booking process easy and has several packages to choose from for any budget! There were several locations to choose from, but depending on the time of day (Sunrise v. Sunset), he recommended the best beach options for quality lighting. Upon booking request, he was prompt at responding and was very easy to communicate with regarding any questions I had about the time of year we would be visiting along with how long it would take us to get to specific beaches from our hotel. A few days before our photoshoot, he reached out with a kind reminder and also sent pose options that we could reference for our own shoot. We utilized his "Lion King" pose with our almost 2 year old and absolutely LOVED how those photos turned out. After he finished editing our photos, I loved how he not only made us ALL look great, but he also highlighted the beautiful scenery. I highly recommend working with him for any type of event--whether it's family vacation, maternity shoot or even a wedding. I can't wait to do a future photoshoot with him to capture these precious memories of our family. Mahalo Tim! read more

The photos were incredible - truly living up to his business name because every time we reviewed a new image we found ourselves saying "Oh, WOW!". Tim very professional and easy to work with, with clear communication and detailed descriptions of the process, packages, locations to consider and the pros and cons of various locations. His work is outstanding and will be some of our most cherished images. When our younger daughter is a rising senior we will absolutely be calling Tim to have him do her photos as well as another round of family pictures. Don't hesitate in hiring Tim - he's worth it! read more

Oh wowww! That was jaw dropping expression after looking at the results of our photoshoot in Maui, as you can see from the sample Photo.

He spent quality time and captured great memories. His camera and skills are obviously great, but he also spends good time touching up almost 100+ top photos! read more

Tim provided us with the most beautifully, epic shots for my husband and I's 1st wedding anniversary in Maui. Our whole experience with Tim was great! We were provided: clear cut photo packages with their pricing, descriptions of how our photos would turn out based on the geographic location of beaches (e.g. usually windier in the north, sun sets over the mountains in the east), directions on how to prepare (e.g. researching poses and preference for landscape/close up shots), fast communication. Tim also goes the extra mile by: climbing the side of hills, fixing your outfit/hair to put it in place, making you feel like a model :D Highly recommended! read more

Tim was awesome! His communication and response times were excellent. He was so helpful during my proposal. He planned out the exact location with me and even made a mini "x marks the spot" map for me on Google maps. Thanks to Tim I knew the perfect moment easily and he took a lot of the anxiety away. He made it fun, was very friendly, and worked with my fiance and myself to ensure we took all the poses we wanted. We highly recommended him to capture your special moment! Tim, it was a pleasure!! If we are ever back in Hawaii and need pictures, you are our guy!! Mahalo Tim! read more

I can't express enough how thrilled we are with our experience with Tim for our 10 year vow renewal in Maui! From start to finish, he was incredibly professional and accommodating, especially with our two toddlers. Despite the challenges of capturing precious moments with little ones who don't always want to stay still, Tim remained patient and engaged effortlessly blending in and making the experience enjoyable for all of us! He captured so many cute moments even though I was in panic that my toddler boys wouldn't stay still. The photos he captured actually made it more memorable! He knew exactly what shots to take to capture our love with Maui's stunning backdrop. The photos turned out absolutely breathtaking and it took me a long time to finally finalize the photos I want to keep. Every shot is a beautiful, timeless reminder of our special day and we truly appreciate how Tim managed to capture the essence of our family amidst the candid chaos. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to document this unforgettable occasion! Highly recommend Tim and OwWowPhotos to anyone looking for an exceptional photography experience! read more

I couldn't be happier with the experience and results from Tim! They captured one of the most important moments of my life--my proposal--with such artistry and care. From the very beginning, they were professional, attentive, and made sure every detail was perfect. The photos themselves are breathtaking; every emotion, every smile, and every special moment was perfectly documented. Tim has an incredible eye for lighting, angles, and candid shots that truly tell a story. They even went above and beyond to help plan the logistics so the surprise stayed intact! If you're looking for a photographer who genuinely cares and delivers stunning work, look no further. I can't thank them enough for giving us memories we'll cherish. read more

Tim was very great to work with. It was our first time in Maui and he recommended locations for us for a beautiful sunset backdrop. Tim was very personable and made sure he captured every detail, scenic backdrop and have us try different poses to experiment with. He made us feel comfortable being in front of the camera (as two people who don't do so well in front of any cameras). His editing style is exactly what we looked for when it came to the final editing touches. Priced very well and Tim is an amazing communicator and replies back quickly. You'll also get your finish edited photos extremely quickly. Highly recommended when you're looking for a photographer in Maui! read more

Tim was extremely patient, honest and professional. My family and I were in Maui and hired him as our photographer to capture photos of us (5 adults, 1 teen, 1 toddler and an infant). These are the first professional photos that I have with my parents and MIL with our kids. He exceeded my expectations working with such a large group. I was only expecting a few photos that are deemed printable (as we had such a large group that included kids, the chances of someone not looking at the camera or making an unpleasant facial expression is high), but we absolutely loved all the photos that were captured. He had good suggestions for poses and was enthusiastic throughout the shoot. The photos were delivered in a speedy manner with the edits that I asked for. I am extremely pleased with his services and will hire him in the future. read more

We had a wonderful experience working with Tim to capture our family photos in Maui.

He made everyone feel comfortable, and asked us along the way if we were happy with the poses. He made our girls feel like superstars, and got them to smile easily.

If you are looking for an amazing photographer in Maui, check out Ohwowphotos - Tim is such a fun and amazing photographer and the way he edits his work is spectacular!! He is very responsive and great at communicating and reminding you of your photo session time and location. It was so incredibly windy the day of our photo session.
