Karma Hill helped me plan my proposal and all of their instructions made sure it went off without a hitch. Our Proposal photographer was incredible and super friendly—she made us forget the anxiety of being in front of the camera and allowed us to just have fun!

LOVE
“I’m not from the area, so it was such a relief to rely on Karma Hill’s expertise and suggestions. Not only was the team extremely thorough in helping me choose a perfect location to propose in Maui, but our photographer made me and my fianceé feel very comfortable, despite it being our first time taking professional photos.”
“In fact, they were so prepared that they had items in her bag to help us freshen up, which was greatly appreciated! They took the time to make sure we looked our best for the photos in spite of it being an extremely hot and humid day. Since we didn’t have a particular vision for our photos, our proposal photographer provided excellent direction to help capture our special moment. We’re so excited to see how the photos turn out and are looking forward to reliving the proposal for the rest of our lives!”

the answers to your questions
Do you have a beach location that’s more private and secluded?
Do you offer floral arrangements?
Can we include a “Marry Me” sign?
What if it rains?
How will I know where to go for the proposal?
How should I propose?
What time of day is best to propose?
Do you have restaurant recommendations?
Do you offer videography?
Can family members join in for photos?
Do you have a beach location that’s more private and secluded?
All beaches in Hawaii are public (except a few on Oahu and the Big Island), so some beachgoers may be around during your proposal. We select less crowded locations, but if privacy is essential, consider booking a private venue package, available only on Maui and the Big Island. Private venues offer beautiful, secluded settings and additional decor options.
<< Go back
Do you offer floral arrangements?
Yes, on most islands (except Kauai), we offer an upgraded beach package that includes a flower circle. See our Romantic Beach Proposal Package for more details.
<< Go back
Can we include a “Marry Me” sign?
“Marry Me” signs are available only at venue locations on Maui and the Big Island. Due to state laws, beach setups like signs or chairs are not permitted on the sand.
<< Go back
What if it rains?
Hawaiian weather forecasts can be unpredictable, so we typically make weather decisions on the day of the proposal. If it’s raining, we’ll attempt to relocate to a nearby dry area. If that’s not possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule.
<< Go back
How will I know where to go for the proposal?
We provide a Google link to the location and a beach map to guide you to the right spot. Your photographer will also stay in touch via text on the day, ensuring you find the perfect spot to propose.
<< Go back
How should I propose?
Option 1: “Ninja” Style
In this approach, our photographer stays discreet, either hidden behind foliage or blending in as a beach-goer on a towel. You’ll walk your partner to the pre-determined spot, and our photographer will capture the proposal candidly. After you’ve had a few moments to savor the experience, the photographer will come over, introduce themselves, and continue with an engagement portrait session.
Option 2. Surprise Proposal Portrait
Tell your partner you’re having a couples’ portrait session during your visit. About 10 minutes in, the photographer will position you behind your partner, allowing you to get down on one knee. When they turn around, you’ll be ready to 'pop the big question'. This option is perfect if you want to keep the proposal a complete surprise and naturally bring your partner to the location.
<< Go back
What time of day is best to propose?
We recommend sunset sessions for a romantic ambiance, perfect for celebrating afterward at a nearby restaurant after the big moment.
<< Go back
Do you have restaurant recommendations?
Yes, we offer a recommended vendors list, including restaurant suggestions, available after booking.
<< Go back
Do you offer videography?
We don’t currently provide videography, but we can recommend trusted videographers if you’d like.
<< Go back
Can family members join in for photos?
Yes, though we suggest savoring the moment privately with your new fiancée, we’d be happy to take a few family shots to commemorate the occasion.

Jake and Kayla’s Maui proposal portrait session at Ironwoods Beach was—how do we put this?—utterly charming in the most “we-don’t-even-like-photos” kind of way. And yet, somehow, it turned out to be one of the most heartwarming, genuine, and joyfully sweet evenings we’ve had the honor of photographing. Now, Jake had one specific request: the classic […]

Trinity was the first girl to catch Drew’s eye… and, as it turns out, the last. Now, 4.5 years later, their story brought them to Hawaii for a […]
