Karma Hill helped me plan my proposal and all of their instructions made sure it went off without a hitch. Our photographer was incredible and super friendly—she made us forget the anxiety of being in front of the camera and allowed us to just have fun!

"Karma Hill was amazing to work with! They helped me plan my proposal and all of their instructions made sure it went off without a hitch. The photographer was incredible and super friendly. She was able to make us forget the anxiety of being in front of a camera and just have fun!"
Karma Hill was so clutch in capturing our amazing proposal! All of our friends are astounded by the beauty of the pictures. Our photographer was so accommodating to include my fiance's family in the pictures as well, so we were able to get a few family shots as well as a phenomenal sequence of photos to relive the proposal moment. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone visiting the islands!!

Do you offer floral arrangements?

What if it rains?
How will I know where to go for the proposal?
How should I propose?
What time of day is best to propose?
Do you have restaurant recommendations?

Do you have a beach location that’s more private and secluded?
All beaches in Hawaii are public (except a few on Oahu and the Big Island), so some beachgoers may be around during your proposal. We select less crowded locations, but if privacy is essential, consider booking a private venue package, available only on Maui and the Big Island. Private venues offer beautiful, secluded settings and additional decor options.

Do you offer floral arrangements?
Yes, on most islands (except Kauai), we offer an upgraded beach package that includes a flower circle. See our Romantic Beach Proposal Package for more details.
<< Go back
Can we include a “Marry Me” sign?
“Marry Me” signs are available at locations on Kaua'i, Maui and the Big Island.
<< Go back
What if it rains?
Hawaiian weather forecasts can be unpredictable, so we typically make weather decisions on the day of the proposal. If it’s raining, we’ll attempt to relocate to a nearby dry area. If that’s not possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule.
<< Go back
How will I know where to go for the proposal?
We provide a Google link to the location and a beach map to guide you to the right spot. Your photographer will also stay in touch via text on the day, ensuring you find the best area to propose.

How should I propose?
Option 1: “Ninja” Style
In this approach, our photographer stays discreet, either hidden behind foliage or blending in as a beach-goer on a towel. You’ll walk your partner to the pre-determined spot, and our photographer will capture the proposal candidly. After you’ve had a few moments to savor the experience, the photographer will come over, introduce themselves, and continue with an engagement portrait session.
Option 2. Surprise Portrait
Tell your partner you’re having a couples’ portrait session during your visit. About 10 minutes in, the photographer will position you behind your partner, allowing you to get down on one knee. When they turn around, you’ll be ready to propose. This option is perfect if you want to keep the proposal a complete surprise and naturally bring your partner to the location.
<< Go back
What time of day is best to propose?
We recommend sunset sessions for a romantic ambiance, perfect for celebrating afterward at a nearby restaurant.
<< Go back
Do you have restaurant recommendations?
Yes, we offer a recommended vendors list, including restaurant suggestions, available after booking.
<< Go back
Do you offer videography?
We don’t currently provide videography, but we can recommend trusted videographers if you’d like.
<< Go back
Can family members join in for photos?
Yes, though we suggest savoring the moment privately with your new fiancée, we’d be happy to take a few family shots to commemorate the occasion.

Sometimes, the best love stories start in the most unexpected places, like a fitting room. Taylor and Dannielle first met through her job as a custom clothier, where she helped him choose his work clothes for about a year. What began as friendly small talk soon turned into something more, and eventually, Taylor found the […]
Some moments are so full of love and intention that they feel almost cinematic. And Javier and Martha’s Kauai proposal portrait was exactly that.

Wayne and Jessica’s Kauai proposal portrait felt like something out of a dream, one of those vivid, golden ones you hope never ends.

Sometimes love stories feel like they’re written in the stars, and Brendan and Alesia’s Kauai proposal portrait was one of those stories that unfolded with cinematic perfection. Picture this: the shoreline stretching wide, the mountains standing tall in the background, and a blanket lined with delicate white flowers and framed photographs. (How thoughtful?!) Each detail […]
Proposals are already emotional roller coasters (the best kind), but when you add in a plan as thoughtful as Sean’s? It became a dream proposal plan! His Kauai proposal portrait to Abby at Shipwrecks Beach had everything: surprise, family, pastel skies, and a love story years in the making. Sean and Abby met as undergrads […]
Kauai proposal portrait sessions don’t get much sweeter than John and Ashlee’s. Married for nearly 13 years with five kids, these two know what it means to live a full, beautiful, and busy life.
