Wayne and Jessica’s Kauai proposal portrait felt like something out of a dream, one of those vivid, golden ones you hope never ends. Picture this: a flower circle tucked into the sand, a glowing “Marry Me” sign, and two people who have spent years weaving faith, friendship, and love into a story that finally found its perfect moment.
Their journey started way back in 2014 at LA Fitness in Chula Vista. They dated young, unsure of where life was taking them, and eventually drifted apart. But fate wasn’t done. In 2019, they reconnected as best friends, the kind of friendship that feels like home. Then in 2021, after Jessica showed up to Wayne’s DJ gig, a simple moment—her sitting on his lap—rekindled a spark Wayne couldn’t ignore. That spark grew into nearly four years of love, long-distance drives, and shared faith… until this very beachside proposal in Kauai…Wayne went the whole nine yards prepping for this moment, too!






The moment itself was unforgettable. Jessica’s joy lit up the shoreline as she finally realized what was happening when she saw the “Marry Me” Sign and the silk flower circle. And Wayne looked every bit the man who knew he’d just secured his forever. And she said YES! It was tender, monumental, and brimming with gratitude for the winding path that had led them here.
And the portraits? So romantic. The oceanfront images felt timeless and effortless, with waves framing their happiness. The cliffside shots glowed as the golden light wrapped around them, creating silhouettes as cinematic as their journey. Expansive Kauai proposal portraits across the sand captured both the beauty of Shipwrecks Beach and the joy of a couple saying yes to forever.














Congratulations, Wayne and Jessica. From strangers to best friends to lifelong partners, your story is a reminder that sometimes love takes the long way home, but it always arrives right on time! We wish you nothing but the best!
