Michael and Amanda’s love story began back in high school, where they became sweethearts during their junior year. Fast forward nearly eight years to their Maui proposal portrait, and these University of Texas at Austin alumni are not only college graduates but also partners in life, living together with their adorable chihuahua mix, Ruby, in Houston, Texas. Amanda is currently pursuing her MD/PhD at Baylor College of Medicine, while Michael works remotely, allowing them the flexibility to embark on new adventures together.

Their latest adventure brought them to the breathtaking landscapes of Hawaii—specifically, the magical island of Maui. It was a first for both, and little did Amanda know, it would become an unforgettable chapter in their love story. Michael, excited and a bit nervous, had planned the ultimate surprise proposal, hoping to capture the moment forever with a stunning portrait session! Curious to see how it unfolded? See more!

Waiting For The Perfect Moment

As they strolled along the shore, Amanda was blissfully unaware of the exciting surprise awaiting her. Our stealthy photographer was on hand, expertly playing ninja to capture every precious moment as Michael dropped to one knee. The look of sheer joy and surprise on Amanda’s face was priceless, and as she said yes, her happiness radiated through our lens.

With the proposal perfectly executed, the couple embraced the moment, transitioning into a playful and romantic photoshoot along the picturesque beach. Their portraits were a blend of candid joy and sweet intimacy, beautifully capturing the essence of their relationship. From playful giggles to tender embraces, each photo told a story of love and commitment.

Michael and Amanda’s Maui proposal portrait was not just a milestone but a beautiful beginning to their next chapter together. We hope these photos will serve as cherished memories, celebrating their journey and the bright future that lies ahead. Congratulations to Michael and Amanda—may your love continue to grow and flourish!
