The Big Question – Christian & Kiersten’s Kauai Proposal Portrait
There’s a specific kind of magic that lives on Kauai, the soft, golden light, the rhythmic lull of the ocean, and, on one particularly unforgettable day, a “Marry Me” sign tucked into the sand, framed by a dreamy circle of silk flowers. Spoiler alert: she said yes!
Christian and Kiersten’s Kauai proposal portrait session was one of those moments that feels like a movie. (A good one. The kind with the swoony soundtrack and perfect lighting.) The plan? Simple, romantic, and wildly heartfelt. A stunning setup by the ocean, Christian’s nerves fluttering, and Kiersten glowing with surprise, joy, and that unmistakable “oh my gosh, is this really happening?” smile.
Their story started back at Iowa State University, when a weekend hangout with mutual friends turned into something more. One night, they ended up talking, just the two of them, for hours. You know the kind of conversation where time folds in on itself? That. And from that night forward, they were inseparable. Through finals and summer and “what happens next?” they just kept choosing each other. And now? A forever kind of yes!
Sharing The News
As for their newly engaged portraits, oh, we are obsessed! A blend of effortless elegance and real emotion. That’s our signature style, candid and styled. Our style is all about capturing the realness of the moment: the adrenaline, the laughter, the stolen kisses, the way she looked at him with that face that says, “You did good.” It’s romantic, but relaxed. Emotional, but light. It’s like a love letter in photo form. These beautiful portraits will be the perfect way to share the news and spread the love with their family and friends!
Their white outfits against the ocean blues were the perfect choice, clean, classic, and coastal. It made everything feel light, breezy, and impossibly romantic. The palette let their connection take center stage, while the movement of the waves (and Kiersten’s sunlit smile) brought a gorgeous candid energy to every frame.
Christian and Kiersten, you two made Kauai shine a little brighter that day. We’re honored to freeze that yes in time!
