“I’m not from the area, so it was such a relief to rely on Karma Hill’s expertise and suggestions. Not only was the team extremely thorough in helping me choose a place to propose, but our photographer made me and my fianceé feel very comfortable, despite it being our first time taking professional photos.”

5 stars, 5 stars, 5 STARS!
The KHP team is filled top to bottom with caring, and talented professionals. From the ease in booking, quick and constant communication, diligent and detailed planning, to the flawless execution and timely turnaround, I couldn't be more pleased. My incredible once in a lifetime experience of proposing to my now fiance was made possible by the KHP team and I am so glad I chose them for the special moment.

faq

the answers to your questions

Do you have a beach location that’s more private and secluded?

All beaches in Hawaii are public (except a few on Oahu and the Big Island), so some beachgoers may be around during your proposal. We select less crowded locations, but if privacy is essential, consider booking a private venue package, available only on Maui and the Big Island. Private venues offer beautiful, secluded settings and additional decor options.

<< Go back

Do you offer floral arrangements?

Yes, on most islands, we offer an upgraded beach package that includes a flower circle. See our Romantic Beach Proposal Package for more details.

<< Go back

Can we include a “Marry Me” sign?

“Marry Me” signs are available only at locations on Kaua'i, Maui and the Big Island.

<< Go back

What if it rains?

Hawaiian weather forecasts can be unpredictable, so we typically make weather decisions on the day of the proposal. If it’s raining, we’ll attempt to relocate to a nearby dry area. If that’s not possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule.

<< Go back

How will I know where to go for the proposal?

We provide a Google link to the location and a beach map to guide you to the right spot. Your photographer will also stay in touch via text on the day, ensuring you find the best area to propose.

How should I propose?

Option 1: “Ninja” Style
In this approach, our photographer stays discreet, either hidden behind foliage or blending in as a beach-goer on a towel. You’ll walk your partner to the pre-determined spot, and our photographer will capture the proposal candidly. After you’ve had a few moments to savor the experience, the photographer will come over, introduce themselves, and continue with an engagement portrait session.

Option 2. Surprise Portrait
Tell your partner you’re having a couples’ portrait session during your visit. About 10 minutes in, the photographer will position you behind your partner, allowing you to get down on one knee. When they turn around, you’ll be ready to propose. This option is perfect if you want to keep the proposal a complete surprise and naturally bring your partner to the location.

<< Go back

What time of day is best to propose?

We recommend sunset sessions for a romantic ambiance, perfect for celebrating afterward at a nearby restaurant.

<< Go back

Do you have restaurant recommendations?

Yes, we offer a recommended vendors list, including restaurant suggestions, available after booking.

<< Go back

Do you offer videography?

We don’t currently provide videography, but we can recommend trusted videographers if you’d like.

<< Go back

Can family members join in for photos?

Yes, though we suggest savoring the moment privately with your new fiancée, we’d be happy to take a few family shots to commemorate the occasion.
