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. […]

Senior year has a funny way of sneaking up on you. One minute you’re being dragged to practice and trying to survive algebra, and the next? You’re buttoning up a collared shirt, brushing the sand off your sneakers, and stepping into a Maui portrait session that somehow represents every step you’ve taken to get here. […]

The morning started with soft sunlight, two sandy toddlers, and the kind of calm only Kalapaki Beach can deliver. For the Peterson family, this wasn’t just a vacation, it was a long-overdue celebration with a Kauai family portrait. After nearly twenty years since their last big family trip, they finally made it to paradise—together. Maui […]

Let us paint you a picture: a warm Oahu morning, the kind where the sun is vibrant and it’s just as excited as you are to start the day. The ocean is calm, the breeze is gentle, and Paradise Cove Beach looks like a postcard. This is where the Weather family—Megan, Nora, and Matt—stepped into […]

There are surprise proposals… and then there’s this. Julian planned the kind of moment that doesn’t just live in memory—it glows. On a dreamy morning at Ironwoods Beach, he led Erin across the sand, past the crashing waves and rugged cliffs, straight into a delicate circle of flowers that looked like it had bloomed just […]

Some mornings on Maui feel like the world is trying to make everything just a little softer, a little sweeter. That’s exactly what greeted Jennifer and David as they stepped onto the sand for their Maui couples portrait session—a glorious, sunlit morning, the sky stitched with blue, the ocean gleaming like polished glass, and colors […]

There are proposals that catch you by surprise, and then there are proposals that arrive like a perfectly timed exhale—long-awaited, deeply felt, and a little bit funny in their own beautifully honest way. Nick and Brittney’s Kukuiula Kauai proposal portrait? Definitely the latter. Equal parts romantic and real. With a touch of “finally.” They’ve been […]

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. A Plan Worthy […]
