Keenan met Michelle in a dance troupe in their senior year of college.  They have been crazy about each other ever since. Recently, they took a super romantic trip to Cancun, and while there talked about getting engaged.  So, while Michelle knew a proposal would be coming at some point, she didn’t know when or where! Booking their last minute trip to Maui, Keenan contacted us to get their chartered helicopter proposal in East Maui off the ground!

THE PLAN:

When planning this trip, one thing Keenan was really clear about was wanting somewhere incredibly private.  So, the chartered helicopter with just the two of them was the perfect choice! Air Maui was going to take the couple (and our associate photographer Amber) to the East Side of Maui for a private location for their proposal.  

THE PROPOSAL:

After we touched down, Keenan and Michelle “explored” the location for a bit.  Really, though, Keenan was leading her to just the right spot to propose! When they got to the cliff side, he dropped on one knee and asked Michelle to marry him!  She was so happy! And those blues in the background of these shots just can’t be beat!

THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION:

After she said “YES!”, we took some shots at this location.  Sometimes this location can get a little windy. So, one thing we LOVED about this proposal was that Keenan opted to tack on a mini-session to their proposal.  We went to a gorgeous white sand beach with views that go on forever! The variety in images we got were incredible!

Keenan and Michelle: Thank you for choosing Engaged on Maui to set up and photograph your chartered helicopter proposal in East Maui! We love your obvious tenderness and love for each other.  Congratulations!

Bear reached out to us wanting help planning her proposal to Buck.  She wanted to propose to her sweetheart of many years, and she thought Maui was the perfect place to do it.  We created a really sweet set up for them the day before their engagement photos.  Bear and Buck chose to not have their proposal documented.  Which was fine because it led to this really beautiful mini engagement session in North Maui the next day!

The following day they met our associate photographer Chantelle out on the beach for the photo session.  The engagement session was a quick thirty-minute engagement session.  They brought their newly adopted dog named Whiskey.  Whiskey is a one-eyed pit bull they adopted from Maui Humane Society.  They decided that having a furry friend at their photo session would be a great way to remind them of their time on Maui.  And getting engaged, of course!

We got some really cute shots of them playing on the beach together.  And we were sure to get some shots of them playing with Whiskey, too.  At the end of their session, they decided to just throw caution to the wind and jump in the ocean.  We always love it when our couples wind up wet by the end of their photo session.

Bear + Buck: Thank you so much for choosing Engaged on Maui to set up your proposal and shoot your mini engagement session in North Maui.  You two were a dream to work with!  Thanks for bringing Whiskey to the session too, we love that you incorporated your pup!
