Maui proposal portraits have a way of feeling extra magical, and Dany and Marissa’s surprise engagement at the Naupaka Lawn at the Outrigger Ka’anapali Beach Resort was exactly that… magical, breathtaking, and perfectly framed by Maui’s natural beauty.
Dany went above and beyond for this moment. He worked with our sister company, Simple Maui Wedding, and our team at Karma Hill Photography to plan every detail, from the dreamy oceanfront setting to a”Marry Me” sign. Everything was perfectly in place. Marissa, completely unaware of what was about to unfold, walked into the scene as the palm trees gently swayed and framed the setup like nature’s own archway. The entire island seemed to hold its breath.
As Dany dropped to one knee, the love was written all over his face. And she said yes! The joy was instant, bright smiles, happy tears, and the kind of giddy excitement that makes photographing proposals like this one such a privilege!
And let’s talk about these photos. The vibrant greens of the palm trees, the deep blues of the ocean, and the soft golden light created a color palette that felt straight out of a postcard. Every frame captured not just the moment, but the feeling, that quiet, sweeping romance only Hawaii can create. The way nature effortlessly frames every shot makes Maui proposal portraits endlessly beautiful and timeless.
There’s just something about Hawaii: the lush landscapes, the ocean breeze, the tropical light, it’s built for romance. And Dany and Marissa’s proposal was the perfect example of how Maui turns a proposal into something unforgettable.
Congratulations, Dany and Marissa! Your Maui proposal portrait was a joy to capture! Enjoy your time in paradise!

Some mornings just feel extra special. That’s exactly how it was for the Cairnie family during their Big Island family portrait session at Old Kona Airport Beach, a bright, sunny morning filled with love, laughter, and the kind of sweetness that only comes when grandparents, parents, and their little one are all together!
