Jayson knew. After ten years together—ten years of laughter, of adventures, of growing side by side—he knew it was time. Taylor wasn’t just the love of his life; she was his best friend, his person, the one he wanted forever with. So, on a perfect day at Pauoa Bay Beach, with the waves rolling in and the sun casting everything in golden light, he decided to make it official.

The setup? Seamless. Our Big Island proposal photographer blended in as a casual beachgoer, waiting for the perfect moment. Taylor had no idea. She was relaxed, enjoying the ocean breeze, completely unaware that the love of her life was about to change everything. And then—when her back was turned—Jayson dropped to one knee.

Her reaction? Priceless. Shock. Pure joy. Maybe a little bit of Are you serious?! followed by an emotional, wholehearted Yes! The ring? Stunning. The moment? Absolute magic!

But the best part? Their family was there. Waiting, watching, ready to explode with excitement the second she said yes. And oh, did they celebrate. There was cheering. Hugging. Happy tears. The kind of joy that fills the air and lingers long after the moment has passed.

After basking in the glow of their new engagement (and showing off that gorgeous ring, of course), Jayson and Taylor took photos along the shore, soaking in every second. The smiles never left their faces, their happiness spilling into every frame. They laughed, they embraced, they lived in the moment!

A perfect proposal for a perfect pair. Jayson and Taylor, congratulations! May your next ten years—and every decade after—be just as full of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments!
