Sierra thought it was just another beautiful evening in Kauai—warm breeze, golden light, the kind of sunset that stretches across the sky like a watercolor painting. What she didn’t know? That Ryan had been carrying a ring in his pocket, heart pounding, waiting for the perfect moment to ask the most important question of his life during their Kauai proposal portrait!
Five years together. From meeting in Las Vegas in 2019 to building a life in Nashville, buying their first home, and filling it with love (and one very adorable Golden Retriever, Louis). And now? Now they were standing on the shores of Shipwreck Beach, just the two of them, surrounded by Kauai’s rugged cliffs and endless ocean, about to take the next step in their story.
The moment was pure magic. The waves rolled in, the golden sun dipped lower, and the world felt like it had paused just for them. When Ryan got down on one knee, Sierra’s breath hitched—because of course, of course, this man, her best friend, the love of her life, was asking her to be his forever. And of course, she said yes!!














The photos? Oh, the photos. If romance could be bottled up and captured in golden-hour light, this was it. Backlit by the softest glow, every shot felt straight out of a love story—swept off her feet in surprise, his arms pulling her close, the way the light wrapped around them like a warm embrace! Their joy is palpable in every shot of their Kauai proposal portrait!













A proposal straight out of a dream. A love story years in the making. And now? A lifetime ahead. Congratulations, Ryan and Sierra! Wishing you endless love, adventure, and golden sunsets just like this one!
