    10 Stars!!

    Tyme was everything I could've hoped for in a photographer and more. She made both me and my (now!) husband feel so comfortable and we had so much fun shooting with her. She went above and beyond to get a wide variety of different photos in different locations and poses. We were so excited to get our photos back after our elopement and she did not disappoint. Not only were they gorgeous...but they were delivered to us in such a timely manner. I would recommend Tyme to anyone looking for a photographer on the island.

    Beyond Excellent

    Tyme has been invaluable in capturing our special day. She took the most beautiful wedding photos on the beach at sunset. She made sure everything looked perfect. Tyme even sent us our complete photo gallery in less than two weeks. I highly recommend Tyme and if she is not available I’d definitely consider finding a time she is. Mahalo!

    Wonderful experience!

    We chose Once Upon A Tyme Photography for our wedding on Kauai. We are so happy that we did! Tyme was wonderful! She made us feel so comfortable and we had such fun working with her. She takes the most stunning photos and was able to capture the most precious moments of our special day. We just can't thank her enough for that. I would recommend Tyme to anyone looking for an amazing photographer.

    Fun, relaxing photo shoot

    My husband and I had a great time during our photo shoot. Tyme put us at ease quickly, even though neither of us had ever been in a photo shoot before. The whole experience was fun and playful and easier than I thought it would be. The photos themselves came out great with a wide variety of poses and angles and a mix of close-up and wider field of view photos. They really went the extra mile to get us great photos to remember the day. Thanks!

    Best Photographer hands down!

    I had a wonderful experience having Tyme as my wedding photographer. I had a destination wedding in Kauai, HI and was slightly worried about not personally meeting or knowing the photographer prior to our wedding. I did not know what to really expect on my wedding day. However, the moment I saw Tyme on my wedding day, she made us feel comfortable. She truly made us enjoy our special moments rather than trying to pose for the photography. We were living in the moments! During our sunset couple photo time, she ensured to take that moment to treasure each other so it really did not feel like a photoshoot at all. After few weeks, we received our photos and they turned out great! She truly captured alot of beautiful moments throughout the wedding. I was smiling on alot of my photos which reminded me that I had a lot of fun. Even now, I'm constantly trying to re-live those moments by staring at these wedding photos and being obssesed with it! I initally asked Tyme for a different set of photos edited in a higher saturation because I wanted to see how the photos would look like with more colors. Tyme was so kind and understanding about this request and sent me a new set of photos within few days! I love both of the versions but I immediately understood why she edited the way she originally did! Never doubt the photographer about how they edit photos because they know what they are doing! haha. Lastly,
    I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a destination wedding in Kauai. Completely stress free, beautiful beach and amazing photos! Thank you, Tyme! I would love to come back to Kauai to take my maternity photoshoot one day! :)

    Tyme was absolutely amazing!!! We are so happy we chose her to be there with us on our special day. My husband and I got eloped in Kauai because we wanted it to be intimate, romantic and us to feel like we were the only ones there. Tyme made us feel like that and captured it beautifully. She was fun and made sure we knew that she wanted to do what was best for us. Being photographed can feel awkward, but with Tyme every photo felt natural. She seemed just as excited as we were about us getting married. She is passionate and loves to witness love. I feel like I can relive my amazing day with Tyme's photos. Thank you so much Tyme!

    My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Tyme and her daughter, Haven, on our wedding day. What I thought would be beautiful pictures, as we got married on the beautiful island of Kauai... Well, those pictures turned out to be absolutely breathtaking and extraordinary photographs! Tyme and Haven were both professional and charismatic. They made that awkward feeling of being in front of the camera feel easy and fun! Most of all, they truly captured the love between my husband and I. Mahalo to you both for sharing your passion and talent for photography, and for capturing our special day!

    Tyme is probably the best wedding photographer on the island! We were extremely lucky for having her as our wedding photographer. The photos came out to be even better than I dreamed of.

    Her team was professional, easy to work with and kept our needs and asks in mind. the photos came out to be absolutely gorgeous, with all the precious moments captured in the beautiful sunset of Kauai. She is very talented at choosing the best angles and her touches delighted the entire collection.

    Kauai gave us an amazing wedding experience, and Tyme helped us keep this memory in the best form possible that will last for a lifetime. Thank you, Tyme!

    Tyme is incredible! She is so kind, funny, and professional! She photographed my wedding ceremony and made my husband and I feel so comfortable with the entire process! Tyme went above and beyond for us and I can’t thank her enough! The photos turned out to be more gorgeous than we could have ever imagined! Tyme truly is such a warm and caring individual and I would highly recommend her!

    When planning our wedding we were constantly told that the choice of a photographer was the most important thing and we absolutely could not have gotten a better photographer, Tyme was amazing and captured every moment and then some that we could have ever imagined.

    Tyme and her daughter did an amazing job photographing our wedding! They were fantastic at organizing the shoots and planning out a photography schedule. They did a wonderful job at capturing all of the moments that my husband and I weren't able to see first hand on the wedding day, and all of the moments that we will enjoy looking back on for years to come. The photos turned out beautiful and we cannot wait to share them with our friends and family. We highly recommend Once Upon a Tyme Photography!

    Tyme and her daughter made shooting so much FUN! I am not usually very comfortable in front of a camera, but they had my husband and I both in genuine laughter. It made for beautiful, high-quality pictures and an unforgettable memory!

    We highly recommend Tyme Ventura as your wedding photographer. She is a pleasure to work with and has an incredible eye for the perfect images. Our wedding collection is absolutely stunning. We also hired her daughter, Haven as our videographer and were absolutely thrilled with our video. You cannot go wrong with either one of them.

    Tyme is so incredible talented. We booked her for an anniversary shoot while we were on vacation in Kauai. It was honestly the most incredible thing we did on the island. She took us on an adventure shoot and included her adorable, talented and award winning 16 year old daughter Haven as her 2nd shooter. She also brought along her husband who is an EMT, as the trail we were on was quite steep. The adventurous trail kept my husband entertained and happy as we love to hike. I am a photographer and I appreciate her eye for detail. We spent hours with her, driving to our destination on the Napali Coast and hiking down it. She also offers easy destination but if you are adventurous and want something to keep your husband/SO happy, ask for an adventure shoot! It left us with many laughs, views to die for and beautiful pictures to last a lifetime. We can't thank her and her adorable family enough!

    Tyme really listened to what we wanted for our wedding photos. She communicated regularly with us during the months preceding. She was early for our ceremony and took beautiful photos of our guests as they were arriving. She absolutely captured the fun and excitement that we were all feeling. She and her assistant were so discreet that I forgot they were even there. We were stunned at the number of beautiful photos that she took. The hard part for us will be to decide which ones are our favorites as they are actually all beautiful. I would not hesitate to recommend Tyme and her crew to our friends and family.

    We did a family session with Tyme and she was amazing. She made the kids laugh and was great at capturing natural moments. She is super sweet and easygoing. Also the quality and style of her pictures are amazing!

    We absolutely loved working with Once Upon A Tyme Photography! Tyme has this amazing ability to take two semi unphotogenic people and not only make them feel comfortable in front of the camera but also get them to relax and have fun while doing it! What we most loved about working with her was the way she was able to capture the most intimate and beautiful moments of our wedding day without us ever feeling like we were posing. She was incredibly flexible, even though our venue got rained out and we had to move the ceremony inside last minute! She has this gift of highlighting the smallest of details in her photos that we would have never even thought of! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and thanks to Once Upon A Tyme Photography, we will always be able to look back on the day and remember all the wonderful moments captured in the most beautiful way!

    Tyme had everything we were looking for!

    Tyme is a dream to work with! She and her assistant took some just-for-fun photos for us on a trip to Kauai, and we couldn't be happier with them. She is an excellent communicator, both in the planning process and on site, and made us feel relaxed and natural. You can tell by the photos that we were very comfortable under her direction! We were also impressed by her flexibility in scheduling and choosing a location. Would also add that the value of her work far exceeded our expectations (even with the Hawaiian premium). We can't say enough good things about Tyme!
