Easy, talented, true professional, amazing photos

15/10 Tim is a true professional, he understood exactly my vision and perfectly captured the sweetest moments of my wedding day. Extremely easy to communicate with, helpful, and so experienced. We don’t usually love getting our pictures taken but Tim made the day so easy, knew exactly where to place us to capture the best angles and made it fun and light for all of us. Highly highly recommend and would definitely use him again!! He was truly awesome and the pictures are so amazing I can’t get over how much I love them! So worth it!!

Joyful and Accommodating

Choosing Tim was an easy decision. His portfolio reflected the kind of photos we wanted, his pricing was fair, and I really appreciated being able to choose two locations for our wedding portraits on West Maui.



Communication is one of Tim’s biggest strengths. Being able to text before, during, and after the shoot was incredibly convenient. He clearly thought of everything in advance and shared all the information we needed, which made the whole experience easy and well organized.



Tim made me feel at ease during the shoot. Early on, he showed us some of the images on the back of his camera, and I immediately knew we were going to end up with so many good photos. He made me feel comfortable in front of the camera, and it was obvious that he loves his job. His energy was relaxed, positive, and fun to be around.



Tim offered the perfect amount of guidance on posing while also capturing candid moments. He patiently let me try some of my own posing ideas, which, honestly, were not nearly as good as his suggestions, and he went out of his way to carry our very heavy cooler bag between shots. Tim has a great eye for locations, backgrounds, and lighting. We had visited the spots ahead of time and completely missed so many beautiful places that Tim instinctively knew to use. His experience and professional eye were obvious!



When we received our gallery, our first reaction was that we had so many amazing photos to choose from. The images felt natural and romantic, and some looked like they were taken in an enchanted forest. The turnaround time was impressive, much faster than we expected.



I really appreciated how Tim seemed to genuinely welcome feedback on the way he edited photos. He gave us two general styles to choose from. He allowed us to share if we wanted the edit styling slightly reduced or enhanced. Tim's humility and willingness to accommodate our personal style preferences is hands down my favorite thing about him. I have worked with other photographers with much harsher editing policies that left me unhappy with the end result, but that was not the case with Tim. I also appreciated the time he took to edit small details of my dress.



Tim truly provided a 5-star experience from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend him to any couple looking to capture their wedding portraits or elope in Hawaii.

Best Vow Renewal Photographer in Maui

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!

Magical unforgettable day!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Tim and his incredible team for our wedding, and I can’t express how grateful I am for their professionalism and warmth. Our wedding took place at the stunning Kaanapali Beach, and we also had breathtaking moments captured on a catamaran and in the lush jungle surroundings.

From the moment we arrived, Tim and his staff made us feel like family. Their welcoming nature put us at ease, allowing us to enjoy every moment without worrying about capturing the perfect shot. They took the time to get to know us and our vision, ensuring that our personalities and love story were beautifully reflected in every photo and video.

The combination of the mesmerizing beach views and the enchanting jungle settings provided truly magical backdrops for our wedding photos. Tim’s keen eye for detail and artistic vision resulted in stunning imagery that felt both intimate and grand.

I can wholeheartedly say that Tim and his team turned our special day into an unforgettable experience, becoming part of our ‘ohana’ (family). They seamlessly blended into the celebration while capturing every precious moment, from emotional ceremonies to joyous dancing.

I highly recommend Tim and his team for anyone looking to create lasting memories on their wedding day. They not only provide exceptional service but also build genuine connections, making your day even more special. Thank you, Tim, for everything!

Surprise Proposal Shoot

While I am not the type of person to write review. I am incredibly grateful to have hired Tim to capture my surprise proposal during my stay in Maui, Hawaii on 4/25. I had a vision in mind, but Tim truly brought it to life and he did so with just a 30-minute Teams call!

With Tim, you’re not just getting a photographer; you’re getting a genuine, passionate professional who truly cares about your experience. He was patient, attentive, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect for the shoot.

Tim is a complete package , not only did he deliver amazing photography, but he also acted as a local guide, sharing beautiful locations from his page and providing helpful tips and full guides to make the process smooth and stress-free. His knowledge of the island and its hidden gems made everything even more special.

If you’re looking for someone who will not only capture your moment but help create an unforgettable experience, Tim is the person you want by your side. Highly recommend!

Engagement Photos

We’re so happy with our engagement photos! Tim did an amazing job capturing such a special moment, and the pictures are absolutely beautiful. Tim was kind enough to travel all the way to Haleakalā NP and even sent us a few sneak peeks the next day so we could share them with our loved ones. Incredibly talented and such a kind person. Can’t thank you enough for capturing such a beautiful moment for us, the pictures hang in our living room and as my Lock Screen saver. 💍🥰
