Gorgeous Haleakala Sunset Proposal

This couple has been together since high school. I have always had a soft spot for high school sweethearts (probably because I knew my husband was “the one” since we were in high school!) When Richard contacted me, he knew he wanted to propose on Haleakala. He initially thought he wanted to propose in the morning, but we convinced him to go with a gorgeous Haleakala sunset proposal instead. And boy, was it worth changing the time from sunrise to sunset!

THE PLAN:

Richard wanted a more private, intimate proposal. Haleakala in the morning is so busy, and we can’t always trust the weather. But Haleakala at sunset is much more predictable in terms of weather, and the views you can get from the summit at sunset are out of this world! It’s also far less busy up there in the evenings, so the proposal can be more intimate. We really prefer to shoot a sunset proposal there over sunrise. And you’ll see why when you look at the photos!

THE PROPOSAL:

We had some really crummy weather the week before, so we were crossing our fingers that the day of their proposal the weather would clear up. We were so lucky it did, because the proposal was absolutely beautiful. When Richard walked Agnes to the spot he was supposed to propose, he dropped to one knee and asked her to marry him! Way above the clouds, she said “Yes” with tears in her eyes.

THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION:

The Engagement Session was just perfect. We worked with Caleb from Areca Film Company to create a short proposal video. We were so happy to get a lot of variation in shots up there and an unbelievable, colorful sunset up above the clouds.

Richard and Agnes: Congratulations on your gorgeous Haleakala sunset proposal! We wish you a lifetime of happiness together! Thanks for choosing Engaged on Maui.
