A couple weeks ago I got a call that someone incredibly successful wanted to hire Engaged on Maui to take his proposal photos.  Do I have any football fans out there?  How about any New England Patriots fans?  If you haven’t heard this guy’s name yet, just wait a couple weeks until this season starts and with stats like his he’ll be a household name. I was excited to help plan and photograph the Maui helicopter proposal with Patriots Wide Receiver Brandin Cooks.  I didn’t get any inside scoop about him, but one thing I know for sure is that Brandin is a super kind guy and his now-fiance Bri is an absolute sweetheart.

THE PLAN:

Brandin had reached out to Air Maui having gone on one of their awesome doors-off helicopter tours before.  He was ready to propose to his girlfriend, Bri, and knew she would LOVE a Maui helicopter proposal and having their proposal photographed would be extra special for her.  Our destination for this proposal was Kaupo where there are lots of wide open spaces and great views of Haleakala.  He couldn’t wait to share this experience with his love.

THE PROPOSAL:

When we landed, Bri still didn’t know that the woman sitting with them on the helicopter snapping away was actually there to photograph them.  She thought I was just along for the tour.  After hopping off the helicopter, the happy couple walked around Kaupo a bit and took some selfies.  All the while, I was surreptitiously photographing them, too.  When he was ready, Brandin walked her over to the shore and dropped down to one knee.  When he asked her to marry him Bri was absolutely blown away.

THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION:

Soon after he popped the question, he pointed me out to Bri.  She had such a great reaction to being surprised with a secret proposal photographer!  From there, we started the engagement session.  We had a lot of wind that day, but that didn’t seem to faze them one bit.  Haleakala was so clear that day, and we got a lot of gorgeous sweetheart shots of the two of them basking in their just-engaged glow.

Brandin and Bri:  Thank you for choosing Engaged on Maui to photograph your Maui helicopter proposal.  Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together and a great football season!

The post Maui Helicopter Proposal with Patriots Wide Receiver Brandin Cooks | Brandin + Bri appeared first on Engaged on Maui | Maui Proposal Photographer.

Bradley and Tatiana are both air traffic controllers from Canada, so a chartered helicopter proposal on Maui was the ideal way for these two to get engaged!  While they were planning their trip to Maui, Bradley got in touch with me to plan out the helicopter tour with Engaged at Maui and Air Maui for our helicopter proposal option.

The Plan:

Bradley knew that Tatiana was expecting a proposal on this trip, but she didn’t know when it was going to happen. Engaged on Maui took care of all the planning of the helicopter tour, so all Bradley had to do was choose the option for the helicopter tour.  He chose the West Maui / Molokai tour.  They had an absolutely gorgeous day!  The Molokai sea cliffs were breathtaking.  The plan was once they landed, Bradley would go towards a beautiful spot and pop the question!

The Proposal:

When they landed on the property, our associate photographer Amber was able to do some ninja shots of the couple without Tatiana realizing what was going on.  When the moment was right, Bradley dropped down to one knee and asked Tatiana to marry him.  He chose an incredible spot with the cliffs of Kahakuloa in the background.  Amber was there snapping away to capture the whole moment.  Bradley was down on his knee for a full minute, so we were able to get a bunch of great shots of him proposing!  In that moment, Tatiana finally realized that Bradley had chartered the helicopter just for them!  She was so surprised!

The Engagement Session:

Once the proposal happened and she realized why Amber was there, we started the engagement session. First, we got a couple ring shots. It’s gorgeous, by the way.  Then we took a handful of breathtaking sweetheart shots with the cliffs behind them. Of course, we had to take some shots with the helicopter and with the pilot to commemorate their chartered helicopter proposal on Maui!  Upon their return to Air Maui, they were greeted with leis and champagne!  What a special way to end their engagement session!

Bradley and Tatiana: congratulations on your gorgeous chartered helicopter proposal on Maui!  Thanks for choosing Engaged on Maui to capture the images of your proposal!
