When you mix golden hour, a quiet beach, and two people wildly in love, you get a Big Island proposal portrait that could melt even the most cynical heart. Zach and Megan’s proposal at Kukio Beach was exactly that kind of moment: sweet, sentimental, and bathed in the kind of tropical light that makes everything feel just a little more magical.
Zach had it all planned. He’d brought Megan to Hawaii on a family vacation, her very first time in the islands, and he knew exactly where and when he was going to ask the question that would change everything. At Kukio Beach, tucked into the sand with a cozy little spread he put together himself (think: soft pillows, flowers, and a blanket), Zach waited for just the right moment. How sweet is that?
Megan, of course, had no idea. She thought it was just a couple’s portrait, but one second, they were just enjoying a beachside evening. The next? Zach led them over to the setting was down on one knee, the sun melting into the Pacific behind them like it was personally giving its blessing. She said yes, and honestly? We’re still swooning.
Their Big Island proposal portrait session was the perfect celebration of a love story that began at their church’s young adults group just ten months ago. Since then, they’ve built something sweet and strong, full of faith and laughter and the kind of connection that’s impossible to fake. Seeing their joy, can’t-stop-smiling joy, was everything.
And the photos? The photos are glowing, golden, and soft around the edges, like the whole evening was wrapped in light and love. Hawaii has a way of doing that, especially when Kukio Beach is the setting. How adorable are they?
To Zach and Megan, we’re so honored to capture your forever beginning. Congratulations on saying yes in the most beautiful way! Enjoy your time in Hawaii celebrating the exciting news!
