Let’s just say it, Udai nailed the Maui proposal portrait game.
He told Lauren they were doing a couples portrait session. Romantic? Yes. Suspicious? Not even a little. Because here’s the genius: he planned everything so they’d both be dressed to the nines. Udai in a sleek navy suit, Lauren in a stunning off-the-shoulder gown that looked like it was designed to catch golden hour. Elegant, effortless, totally magazine-worthy. Keep reading to see how it all went down…




And then on the sand at DT Fleming Beach, with waves crashing nearby and the light doing that thing it does when it knows something special is about to happen. Udai dropped to one knee while Lauren’s back was turned. No warning. No script. Just love and a ring.
Her reaction? Pure magic. That kind of sparkle you can’t fake, no matter how many times you practice in front of the mirror. She said yes (!!!), and suddenly their “portrait session” turned into one of the most joyful, emotional, wildly romantic proposals!








Their energy afterward? Giddy. Sweet. Between the laughing spins and cozy cuddles in the sand, they looked so completely in love and so completely ready for this next chapter.
From secret planning to full-on celebration, Udai and Lauren’s proposal was one for the books. The candid joy, the coordinated outfits, the just-engaged glow every single frame tells a story of love, surprise, and style.
We were honored to capture this next chapter of their love story! Aren’t they just a beautiful couple?





Congratulations on your engagement! You nailed it Udai! We wish you both nothing but the absolute best!
