Romantic Proposal in Northwest Maui

Sometimes I love it when guys want to shake it up a bit. I mean, I love stalking you guys during the proposal (or hiding in the bushes), but sometimes it is way easier if the girl knows she’s going to be a part of the photoshoot! That was exactly the plan for this romantic proposal in Northwest Maui.

THE PLAN:

Luke, the groom-to-be, contacted me wanting to find the perfect location to propose to his girlfriend Sarah. He wanted lava rocks and blue ocean–so I knew just the place. Northwest Maui is absolutely gorgeous. You get blue water, lava rock escarpments, and often times rainbows!

The plan was that Sarah thought this was a glamour shoot for her that Luke had booked. Sarah is absolutely gorgeous. She actually reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence a bit with her bright blue eyes and soft features. We began the photo session as a glamour shoot and Luke was “assisting” me. When I found the spot Luke and I had discussed, I laid down a blanket and asked Sarah to take a seat. Then I asked her if it would be OK for Luke to join her for a few because, you know, he looked so nice and everything.

THE PROPOSAL:

Once Luke sat down, he wasted no time. I love Sarah’s reaction to what he was telling her. She was SO caught off-guard and couldn’t believe it! There were a bunch of tears and a whole lot of “are you kidding me?!”–but she definitely said yes!

THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION:

Because of the diversity of Ironwoods Beach, we decided to stay there for the duration of our session. It was really windy, but WOW was it beautiful! We got a great sunset to round off their perfect proposal!

Luke and Sarah: I loved your modern twist on proposal photography. Everything from Luke’s idea for the set up to Sarah’s reaction, the ring–everything–every moment was so emotion-filled and beautiful. Thank you for choosing me to be your Maui proposal photographer for your romantic proposal in Northwest Maui!

Congratulations and enjoy your first holiday season as fiances!

Joey + Jaimie | Maui Beach Proposal at Ironwoods Beach

Maui Beach Proposal at Ironwoods Beach

Their story began in college.She was an editor for the school’s magazine, and he was an editor for the school’s newspaper. According to Joey, they were the most annoying kids in class because they were always talking to one another. But really they were simply falling in love. May 22 marked 5 years for them…and Joey had big plans to ask Jaimie to spend the rest of her life as his wife.

The Plan:

Originally, we planned on Ukumehame Beach as a proposal site, but a few days before the big day a HUGE south swell came in. Ukumehame is a popular surf spot, so the beach was absolutely packed.

We waited until the day-of to pick the spot. He chose Ironwoods Beach in Kapalua as the spot.

The Proposal:

Joey led Jaimie down to the beach. It was their last night on Maui, so they had planned to watch the sunset together anyway. It was the perfect distraction.

They laid down a blanket, but then Joey stood up and led Jaimie to the shoreline.

He dropped to one knee, and asked her to marry him. There were tears, a lot of mouth-covering, but mostly a whole lot of smiling!

The Engagement Session:

We stayed at Ironwoods for the duration of our session. Between the cliffs on the west end of the beach, a rainbow to teh north, the setting sun, and the light breeze, we had an absolutely perfect engagement session. And that smile–I swear, it must have been the first thing Joey noticed about Jaimie. Their energy together was infectious and laughter-filled.
