Some moments feel like they’re straight out of a movie, the kind where time slows down, the light turns golden, and two people realize their forever starts right now. John and Hannah’s Maui proposal portrait at Southside Beach was exactly that kind of moment.
It was their first trip to Maui, but you’d never know it from how perfectly they fit into the rhythm of the island. The soft waves, the breeze off the ocean, and the glow of sunset made the most beautiful setting for what was about to happen. John had planned everything so thoughtfully, right down to a few unexpected touches he knew would make Hannah smile….

When he dropped to one knee on the sand, the look on her face said everything. Surprise. Joy. Love. And yes, she said yes! Their joy was written all over their faces, and in that instant, all of Maui seemed to celebrate with them!






The photos from their session with our Maui proposal photographer are bright, airy, and full of genuine emotion. You can feel the excitement in the way they look at each other, their smiles wide, their eyes shining. These aren’t just proposal photos; they’re the beginning of a story that’s still unfolding. Now they have some amazing photos for their Save-The-Dates and to share the news with their family and friends! It will be hard to choose just one because each one captures their genuine emotion so beautifully!
John and Hannah love exploring new places and creating memories through travel. And now, Maui holds one of their most meaningful adventures yet!








Congratulations, John and Hannah! Your Maui proposal portrait was everything it should be: a romantic and joyful beginning to your greatest adventure yet!
