Braedon wanted his proposal to Lindsay to be a complete surprise with minimal people and buildings in the background. He also said that Lindsay loves the beach at sunset. Since sunset on the beach can sometimes be busy, we suggested a lavender farm proposal with beach engagement session at sunset. This allowed them to have the privacy and scenery that was crucial for the proposal and still have the romantic beach pictures at sunset.

THE PLAN:

Whenever clients want a proposal with less people around, venturing away from the resort areas always helps. With a quick drive upcountry, you can experience a completely different side of the island.

Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm is like a breath of fresh air. It’s listed as one of the top things to do in Upcountry Maui, which made it a little easier for Braedon to sneak the proposal location into their plans.

THE PROPOSAL:

For the proposal, Braedon made a book of pictures and memories for Lindsay to look through before he got down on one knee. The book was stunning! It looked so professional, almost like a personalized magazine.

He also told us that Lindsay loved peonies. Unfortunately, peonies were out of season, but we were able to get these gorgeous pink garden roses which are fluffy and full-petaled like peonies are.

Lindsay could tell Braedon put a lot of thought and effort into making the proposal special for her! Of course, as soon as Braedon lead her to the deck where the book and flowers were waiting, Lindsay had a good idea of what was about to happen, and she screamed and cried tears of joy when Braedon asked her to marry him.

THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION:

Braedon and Lindsay enjoyed their time around the lavender farm, soaking in the fact that they just got engaged. Then they met our photographer Tenessa the following evening to continue the fun at their sunset engagement session on the beach.

This way, Lindsay was able to have the surprise of her life for the proposal and then make sure she had her clothes, hair, and makeup ready for the rest of their engagement photos.

THE PLAN:

Lexi went up to the lavender farm with her family under the impression that they were there to take family photos.  Little did she know that Marcos was there waiting for her with a ring in his pocket.

THE PROPOSAL:

Marcos reserved the deck for the special moment. It has a stunning view and a great place for our photographer to hide.  It was a little rainy while he was waiting for Lexi to arrive, but the sky cleared up and the weather was perfect for the proposal and engagement session!

Lexi was pretty amazed to see Marcos there at the lavender farm.  He led her over to the deck, took her hands in his, and popped the question.  Lexi teared up – it was the sweetest!  Plus, the families were able to watch from below and quickly head up after the proposal for congratulations and some photos together.

THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION:

The lavender farm is such a lovely property.  We were able to have tons of fun amongst the fields and flowers.

Marcos and Lexi: Thank you for reaching out to Engaged on Maui for your surprise lavender farm proposal!  We couldn’t be happier for the two of you!

Michael wanted to do something that was a little bit different.  He and his sweet girlfriend Emily are self-proclaimed as “not a beach couple.” He wanted something unique, and he was really drawn to having a proposal at Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm.  We were totally on board with this location because we just love doing stuff that is different. 

THE PLAN:

I had been in contact with Michael for a couple months, and we went back and forth talking about the growing seasons and when the lavender would be in bloom because they have different harvesting seasons.  When we did location scouting, we looked at about four different spots at the lavender farm. We ultimately chose this deck with a beautiful view looking over all of Maui from above. The first date we had chosen for this proposal actually got rained out. We had a crazy storm roll through, and we even had thunderstorms which is incredibly unusual for us.  Michael was so awesome he just rolled with the punches. We decided that we were going to go for it a few days later. 

THE PROPOSAL:

As they walked in through the fields of blooming lavender, we started snapping away.  Down on the deck, we had a little setup of lavender coffee and lavender scones from the farm ready for them as they walked over. They went to enjoy the deck on their own for a bit and when Michael was ready he dropped down to one knee and popped the question!  Of course she said YES! 

THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION:

We did some of our engagement session around the lavender farm and then we drove up further into the mountain. We went into the forest up there, and it was awesome because the clouds roll in right on top of you. This photo session was so diverse because we had the bright colors of the lavender farm and then this romantic light that came through the forest for the later part of our session.  This couple was so endearing, they were laughing together the whole day. 

Michael and Emily:  Thank you so much for changing it up with your proposal at Ali’i Kula Lavendar Farm!  We loved every minute of it!
