A Maui family portrait session doesn’t get much better than this. If there were a Frequent Flyer card for families who are absolutely smitten with Maui, the Davis family would already be platinum members.This trip marked their second visit to the Valley Isle, and while they’ve always been the kind of family that loves exploring […]

If ever a family knew how to embrace a season of life, with matching joy and chaos—it’s the Toners. When this sweet family told us they were coming back to their favorite island for a Kauai family portrait session, we knew it was going to be something special. Add in the fact that they just […]

Let’s be honest—when someone says “Hawaii family photo session,” you probably imagine stiff smiles, bribes involving shave ice, and at least one child sprinting off into the surf. But what if we told you it could actually be the highlight of your trip? After photographing thousands of families across Hawaii, we hear the same thing […]

Annabelle and Sean’s Maui wedding photography session was everything we love about capturing love stories on the beach, natural, heartfelt, and absolutely magical. Their wedding day didn’t come with a grand ballroom or a ten-tier cake or a 300-person guest list. Nope. It came with soft sand underfoot, warm sun on their shoulders, and a […]

Welcome to the Under the Sea Maui Ocean Center Proposal Package at the world-renowned Maui Ocean Center, where you can pop the question in a way that is literally jaw-dropping (don’t worry, the sharks are friendly). You know how some proposals involve candles, rose petals, and maybe a sunset? Yeah, this one involves sharks, a […]

There’s something undeniably special about a morning on Maui, the kind where the sun is gleaming off the ocean, and your whole family is laughing in the sand while looking like they just stepped out of a vacation magazine. The Haizlips brought all of that and more to their Maui family portrait session, and it […]

Some Big Island proposal portraits are meticulously planned. Some are spontaneous. And then there are the ones that feel like they’ve been written by the universe itself with a hidden photographer, a perfectly timed rain shower, and the kind of magic that makes you believe in forever. Kerwin pulled off exactly that for their Big […]

Justin had a plan. And not just any plan—a “lead her gently toward the ocean under the Maui sun and surprise her with a flower circle and a life-changing question” kind of plan. The best Maui proposal portrait in our opinion! Cassi, sweet and unsuspecting, thought they were just out for a beach stroll. You […]

Amey had a plan. A sneaky, heart-melting, brilliantly orchestrated plan for their Maui proposal portrait. He told Aishwarya they were doing a casual couples photoshoot, you know, for memories, for fun, for the aesthetic (which she absolutely delivered on, by the way). So there they were, dressed to the nines on the sun-drenched sands of […]

There’s a very specific kind of magic that happens when someone plans a surprise Kauai proposal portrait. Not just any proposal, but the kind that includes red roses, a quiet beach, and six years of knowing, you know, the kind that makes you tear up before the ring box is even open. That was Larissa […]

There are places that stitch themselves into your story, and for Kyle and Hannah, that place is Maui. Their Maui family portrait is just part of that story. Not just because it’s got the kind of scenery that makes you question if someone’s secretly Photoshopping real life (spoiler: they’re not), but because it’s been the […]

There’s a certain kind of magic that can’t be faked, newlywed glow magic. You know the one. It’s not just about the rings or the vows or the way they say “husband” and “wife” like it’s a secret only they know. It’s the soft smiles, the hand-squeezes, the “I still can’t believe we just did […]

There’s something unmistakable about that just-married glow. It’s not just the smiles (though Tylor and Zack definitely had those), or the way they kept sneaking little glances at each other like they were still processing the fact that this is real. It’s the energy, the soft, sparkly kind that floats around two people who just […]

Maui proposal portraits have a certain kind of magic to them, and Casey and Emily’s moment was no exception. Picture this: golden hour on a quiet beach, waves gently lapping the shore, and the kind of sunset that makes you want to frame it. Add to that a tropical flower circle so vibrant it could […]

Let’s begin with this: sometimes, love doesn’t tiptoe in, it charges in wearing gym shoes, carrying bubble tea, and saying “let’s stay up ‘til dawn on FaceTime.” That’s Carley and Robert’s brand of love, warm, playful, resilient, and oh-so-swoonworthy. Their Big Island wedding photography at the Fairmont Orchid was not just capturing their celebration; it […]

Okay, picture this: the kind of guy who doesn’t just ask the love of his life to marry him, he plans, he prepares, and he goes all out like it’s the final chapter of the most romantic novel you’ve ever read. That’s Justin. A man on a mission. And that mission? To completely blow Margaret’s […]

Let’s preface this amazing Maui proposal portrait for you…You know the kind of love story that starts in a college bar, the kind where you meet someone while hanging out with your friends and then somehow, years later, you’re standing barefoot on a Maui beach watching the love of your life get down on one […]

Okay, so first things first before we share their Big Island wedding photography: Lauren and Chip are the kind of couple who make you believe in fate. Like, middle school sweetheart fate. We’re talking notes passed in class, prom dates, a little “finding ourselves” break in college (because, life), and now? Forever-ever kind of love. […]

Richie didn’t just plan a proposal, he engineered a masterpiece. Every petal, every step, every moment was thought out with the kind of care that says, “I know she’s the one.” And on a dreamy Maui day, with the help of our sister company Simple Maui Wedding, he brought that vision to life with breathtaking perfection. He led Ann, […]

Some love stories come with fireworks. Others come with fate and a long history. And that’s exactly what Sam and Tatiana’s Kauai proposal portrait was all about. Sam and Tatiana’s story? Well, it’s got a little of everything. They’ve technically known each other since elementary school—second grade, to be exact. Same middle school. Same hometown. […]
