If you had told Linda and Kevin’s elementary school classmates that the quiet, studious girl and the outgoing athlete would one day reconnect and be captured in Maui wedding photography, no one would have believed it. But life has a way of writing the most unexpected love stories, and theirs turned out to be one of resilience, friendship, and second chances.
Linda and Kevin grew up in Oklahoma, knowing of each other but never running in the same circles. She was shy and studious; he was extroverted and athletic. After decades apart, fate stepped in when Linda moved back to Oklahoma to care for her parents. Around the same time, Kevin reached out through social media during his own difficult chapter. A casual dinner turned into long conversations, laughter, and eventually, a love that carried them through a pandemic together under one roof.
Though Linda once insisted she’d never marry again, Kevin promised that if she changed her mind, she could be the one to propose. And she did, on the fifth anniversary of their first date, at the same restaurant where it all began. That “yes” led them to Maui, the island they both fell in love with, and the perfect setting for their wedding. Isn’t that the sweetest love story?










Their Maui wedding photography session at Southside Beach reflected everything about their story: the golden glow of sunset mirroring the warmth of their bond, the ocean waves echoing the constancy of their love, and the joy on their faces as they promised forever. And together they created memories that will live on in both their hearts and their wedding album through these photographs!






Their wedding day at Southside Beach was the definition of simple and beautiful. No grand production, no fuss, just golden light, the sound of waves, and a ceremony that was intimate, heartfelt, and entirely theirs. Linda was radiant, Kevin beamed at her like she hung the moon, and the whole day felt like proof that sometimes the best love stories take the longest to unfold.
And here’s where the story gets even sweeter: Kevin’s best man, Nick, is planning his own beach proposal to Linda’s daughter, Allie, the day before the wedding, with Karma Hill Photography capturing that moment, too. Linda couldn’t be happier that her daughter’s love story will be celebrated alongside hers, and she’s already excited to have portraits of them as a newly engaged couple, woven into the family’s collection of memories!

Congratulations, Linda and Kevin! Your Maui wedding photography is a testament to love that finds its way, even when no one expects it. True love does exist! We wish you nothing but love, joy, and happiness in the future ahead!

Nick and Allie’s Maui proposal portrait at Southside Beach was the kind of moment that belongs in a love story anthology, equal parts surprise, romance, and pure joy. After nearly two years together, Nick knew it was time to make forever official, and Maui was the perfect backdrop. Already on the island to celebrate Allie’s
If romance had a setting, it would look a lot like Tucker and Jackie’s Kauai proposal portrait at Shipwrecks Beach! It was equal parts heartfelt, personal, and wrapped in the soft glow of Hawaii. Tucker and Jackie have been together for about four years, their love story beginning in the most fitting way: as partners
