Nick and Allie’s Maui proposal portrait at Southside Beach was the kind of moment that belongs in a love story anthology, equal parts surprise, romance, and pure joy. After nearly two years together, Nick knew it was time to make forever official, and Maui was the perfect backdrop. Already on the island to celebrate Allie’s mother’s wedding, he wanted to make sure Allie’s mom wasn’t the only one celebrating matrimony.
With ninja-level planning, Nick arranged for something extraordinary: a flower circle in the shape of a heart, nestled into the sand by the shoreline. How sweet! (Thanks, parents!) Allie thought they were just walking down the beach for a romantic stroll. But then she spotted the heart-shaped circle of blooms…



And then right there in the center of the circle, he dropped to one knee, and the world seemed to still. Allie was completely blown away, her expression moving from surprise to awe to happiness in a heartbeat. She didn’t just say yes; she said it with the kind of joy that lights up everything around her. How endearing are these portraits! So genuine!
The photographs captured every angle of their love: the tender embrace in the flower circle, the way they held each other as if the whole island had disappeared, and it was just them. Romantic, intimate, and breathtakingly cinematic, this proposal was nothing short of magical.








Getting engaged in Maui is already special, but with a glowing sunset, a heart of flowers, and two people completely in love, Nick and Allie created a memory that’s as timeless as the ocean.









The sky that evening was absolutely stunning, soft streaks of gold and pink melting into the horizon, the kind of Maui sunset that feels tailor-made for love stories. It painted their proposal in glowing light, turning every photograph into something unforgettable. From the first moment of surprise to the joyful embrace that followed, their portraits radiate emotion. You can see it in their smiles, their laughter, the way they held each other as though the whole world had fallen away.


Congratulations, Nick and Allie, you didn’t just have a proposal, you had a milestone experience. And the best part? You can feel every ounce of that happiness in your photos forever! Have so much fun celebrating with your families!
