Some proposals are spontaneous. But Eldin’s Oahu proposal portrait with his beloved Allee? Oh, it was the second kind—the beautiful, intentional kind that feels like it could’ve been plucked straight out romantic movie.
And it was so pretty. Like, goosebumps and audible sighs kind of pretty. And Allee? She had no idea.
Eldin didn’t just plan a proposal—he curated an experience. He scouted the perfect private spot on Oahu, complete with a “Marry Me” sign and the dreamiest silk flower semi-circle you’ve ever seen. Romantic, thoughtful, personal—it was everything.
The spot was tucked away and peaceful at the Kailana Chapel Lawn, with a view that quite literally took your breath away. Mountains, ocean, sunshine—it couldn’t have been more visually stunning!
Allee followed him over, likely wondering what this gorgeous little setup was all about, and then—bam. Surprise. She saw the sign, the flowers, and then Eldin, looking nervous and wildly in love, dropping to one knee.
Cue the biggest smile ever! And cue the happiest “YES” in the history of yeses!
Allee was blown away. Her reaction was everything you’d hope for—equal parts shock, joy, and “wait, is this actually happening?” The whole moment felt wrapped in magic, like the island itself was sending them the biggest blessing.
They are an adorable young couple, beyond excited for their next chapter! They soaked it all in, never wanting to let it go. And the photos? Unreal. The way they looked at each other, so full of happiness and love and wow, we’re doing this, made every single image feel like a still from the best chapter of a love story!
After she said yes (!!!), the two of them soaked in the moment—just standing there, hand in hand at the beach, the ocean breeze swirling around them, and the most incredible view. Like, “how is this real life?” level scenery. They posed for a few Oahu proposal portraits with the backdrop looking like a postcard for paradise. The joy was impossible to miss.
They looked so happy. Not just surface-level happy, but whole-body, floating-on-clouds kind of happy. The kind of happy that shows up in every smile, every glance, every little forehead kiss.
Your Oahu proposal portrait was full of heart, beauty, and the kind of love that makes people believe in grand gestures again. We’re so honored to have captured this incredible chapter of your story. Here’s to a lifetime of joy, ocean views, and saying “yes” to love over and over again.
