Roses & Romance – Julian & Larissa’s Kauai Proposal Portrait
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 and Julian’s proposal at Anini Beach. And honestly? It was romantic enough to make even the most stoic among us believe in grand gestures.
Let’s set the scene: it’s their second trip to Kauai, a return to paradise after a third-anniversary getaway. But this time? Oh, Julian had something up his very thoughtful sleeve.
He’d orchestrated the whole thing with the precision of a man who knows his partner inside and out. A car to take her to the beach, check. (She had an inkling of what might be happening.) A bouquet of red roses (classic, elegant, heart-melting), check. A location that whispered peace and intimacy, Anini Beach, with its calm waters and soft light filtering through trees—check, check, check.
All The Stops
Julian led Larissa down to the sand with the kind of quiet anticipation you feel when you know your life is about to change; but in the very best way. He set up a little picnic blanket beforehand with thought and care. There weren’t crowds or loud declarations. Just them. A soft ocean breeze. And a question that had been six years in the making.
And Larissa? She said yes. Of course, she did! How could you not when the person you love most in the world creates a moment that feels like it’s only yours, wrapped in roses and sea air?
The two of them looked radiant, glowing with post-proposal joy, the kind of happiness that makes your cheeks hurt from smiling. You could see it in the way Julian looked at her, in the way Larissa couldn’t stop grinning. It was one of those “forever starts now” moments, and we were so honored to capture it.
And somewhere, back home, their sweet one-year-old pup Roo is waiting for them too!
Congratulations, Larissa and Julian! Your proposal portrait was a dream! It was quiet, romantic, thoughtful, and full of heart. Here’s to many more trips, anniversaries, and beach strolls ahead!
