Matthew and Raven were staying on Oahu. Upon researching proposal ideas, Matthew planned a day trip to Maui. We were so thrilled help him plan a romantic proposal! Since the trip was just for one day, we needed a location nearby the airport. Luckily, we have a few great options that are both beautiful and convenient. He ultimately chose this north shore beach proposal with mountain view. The nice thing about this beach is that it’s pretty off-the-beaten path, which makes it feel more private. It was perfect for Raven because Matthew knows she doesn’t like to be in the spotlight or in crowds.

THE PLAN:

Matthew added on a message in a bottle for his proposal. This is great for guys who are better writers than speakers or are afraid they might forget to say everything they want to. It also adds a memorable keepsake to the proposal and takes the guesswork out of where you need to go. Although we do send you a detailed itinerary and instructions on where to get down on one knee, when you have the message in a bottle, we place it where we want you to be. All you have to do is find the bottle!

THE PROPOSAL:

Matthew and Raven found the bottle as planned. We loved the look the excitement and anticipation on Raven’s face as she read the message and then Matthew got down on his knee! They video called family to share the good news afterwards and then our photographer came out of hiding.

THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION:

Matthew initially couldn’t decide between catching an early flight back to Oahu to watch a fireworks show or staying on Maui to catch the sunset. We are so glad he chose to stay for sunset because it was a gorgeous one! Then they celebrated with an awesome dinner at Mama’s Fish House.

Matthew and Raven: Congratulations on your gorgeous north shore beach proposal! Thank you for making a special trip out to Maui! We hope you’re able to visit again and spend more time here.

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!
