He was incredible, and the photos are priceless. Tim was in contact with us via text and e-mail, as well as a few phone calls from the minute we booked the photo session until the kids received their photos. Tim was incredibly informative, including providing detailed options for locations and the best times to capture the photos requested. Not only is Tim professional, he is an extremely kind human who enjoys what he does and does it well. The photos are beautiful! It was a wonderful, positive experience and a perfect way to start the next chapter in the kids' lives! If you find yourself in Maui and are looking for a photographer, give Tim a shout. You won't be disappointed!

We had Anna Kim Photography do the welcome dinner for our son's wedding, and the bride's family had…read morethem do the wedding. We could not have had a more positive experience! First - I had a special photo of my son and I (from when he was 4) that I was hoping to recreate on his wedding day. Anna actually brought the photo on the day and they took so many photos, and were so painstaking to even get the hand and body positions perfect. I will cherish the photo that they created! On the day - the team showed up well before our event, and they even mounted flashes up high, around the space (inconspicuously), so there would be enough light at our outdoor venue. They took pictures of everything - the layout, the flowers, and then they captured everyone's expressions as they arrived, and all of the laughter and love during the evening. We have received over a thousand photos, and I have no idea how we will choose - they are all stunning. Throughout the process, Anna was quick to set up Zoom calls (we were off-island and in another time zone!), and quick to respond to emails personally and promptly. She was warm and personable throughout, just a truly kind person to work with. Her team members are all very kind, energetic (!) and eager to do whatever is requested. I wish we could hire Anna and her team for all our events!

We could not have asked for a better photographer for our elopement at Four Seasons Resort Lānaʻi…read more From start to finish, Anna was absolutely incredible. She immediately put us at ease and made the entire experience feel effortless, natural, and genuinely joyful. Eloping can feel intimate and emotional, and she struck the perfect balance of being calming, professional, and wonderfully warm--never intrusive, but always exactly where she needed to be. Her eye for light, scenery, and candid moments is exceptional. She captured not just beautiful images, but the feeling of the day--the love, the excitement, the quiet moments, and the magic of Lānaʻi itself. Every photo feels authentic and timeless, not staged or forced. Beyond her talent, she was organized, responsive, and such a pleasure to work with. We felt completely confident trusting her with one of the most important days of our lives--and she exceeded every expectation. If you are considering her for an elopement or wedding, don't hesitate. She is truly exceptional, and we will treasure these photos forever.

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.

The Best Family Photo Experience on Maui -- with the Amazing Lisa Bernasek!…read more Family photo sessions usually fall somewhere between "mildly painful" and "please, make it stop." But our time with Lisa Bernasek completely flipped that script. From the moment we met her on the beach, she put us at ease -- no stiff poses, no forced smiles, just genuine laughter, ocean breezes, and that Maui magic. Lisa somehow managed to capture our family exactly as we are -- joyful, goofy, and (thanks to her direction) surprisingly photogenic! Even my husband, who typically treats photo sessions like a root canal, admitted he actually had fun. That's saying something. The photos turned out beyond stunning -- vibrant, natural, and full of the aloha spirit. Every shot feels like a little time capsule from our trip, filled with the warmth and beauty of Maui. If you want photos that truly capture the feeling of your time on the island -- not just what you looked like -- do yourself a favor and book with Lisa. She's a true artist, an absolute professional, and just a lovely human. Mahalo, Lisa, for giving us memories we'll treasure forever!

They look genuine and beautiful. The location and time of day that she picked were perfect. I was wanting a couple of pictures with a onesie I had made to announce our pregnancy..

My husband and I decided to go to Maui for our babymoon and to have our maternity photos taken…read morethere. I was deciding whether to use OhWowFotos and Raw Media after receiving estimates through Yelp. Ultimately, I ended up going with Raw Media for two reasons: 1) their package was $70 cheaper and 2) they said the photos would be ready within 48 hours whereas OhWowFotos said 2-5 days. Both sounded great, especially because my baby shower was planned for 12 days after the photoshoot. After putting down the down payment for the shoot, I reached out to Gary to ask for a location for the shoot. I hadn't heard back. A day before the shoot, I messaged again to confirm the shoot was happening and to ask for the location, still no response. On the day of the shoot, I called Gary and he apologized and said that he was busy with a wedding but would drop the location for the shoot. An hour before the shoot, I hadn't gotten the location so I messaged and called. 15 minutes before the shoot, Gary sends the location. My husband and I absolutely enjoyed working with the photographer. I believe his name was Travis. He was kind and helpful. We don't usually take photos and didn't know how to pose. Huge props to travis! After the shoot, travis said we would be receiving the photos in a couple days (like Gary said on Yelp). I reached out a week later after not receiving the photos and a few times after that because I hadn't gotten a response. On the Thursday before my baby shower, Gary said the photos would be ready that night. They were not so I asked for an update the following morning, no response. The photos were finally made available 5 days after my baby shower (17 days after the shoot). Normally, I'd think photos take a long time to edit and this turnaround time wouldn't have bothered me. But, I think the broken promises that they'd be ready before my baby shower + the inconsistent communication really irked me.

It was a windy day and Gary was so helpful with getting our hair to cooperate. We appreciated Gary's friendly demeanor and his ability to direct us for pictures. The photos came out great despite the wind and we're so happy for our Maui souvenir! Mahalo for everything, Gary!
