Maui Adventure Photography: Danni & Eric's Epic Honeymoon

There were many trials and tribulations to make this Surprise Proposal happen but in the end she said " YES!" A Whale of a Proposal! So Lee rode some bumpy seas in planning this proposal that happened to fall on the very day Hurricane Lowell was nearest to the Hawaiian Islands. So then plan A fell apart, quickly by plan B, plan C, plan D and then we had a winner with plan E! Of course I was on pins and needles as well as I had to change my travel right at the last moment to get to the Island of Lana'i as well. Meanwhile, Rose was catching on to all the constant message exchanges and phone calls trying to figure out the logistics. Luckily their friends through her off with some tiny little fibs. With the giant art deco whale as the background they walked down there & she was 💯 percent surprised! Mission accomplished! After some exciting moments we were off in the cart to luxurious @fslanai where we looked for private tropical nirvana and we found it! That hotel is like no other hotel I have ever seen. Around every corner is something beautiful and breathtaking! Making it down to the beach we were delighted by the stunning sunset and they laughed and then laughed a little more! Congrats to Rose & Lee! ❤️💍🥂🤙🏼 #lanaiproposal , #lanaiweddingphotographer , #mauiweddingphotographer, #mauiwedding

Angela & Jays Dream Hawaii wedding was exactly that. A splendidly gorgeous and beautiful dream! I hadn't been to the @whiteorchidbeachhouse in quite a long time so it was good to be back at this STUNNING venue! Was great to be working w @tropicalmauiweddings and their team of top tier professionals too! @angtreinen was absolutely beautiful in the perfect dress & her curly hair glowing in the afternoon light. Jay was dressed to impress and had gotten custom Nike shoes w both their names imprinted on them. Very cool! Congrats to these two & their 30+ friends and family celebrating w them!❤️💍🥂👍🏼 #mauiweddingphotographer #wedding #hawaiiwedding #maui #Destinationwedding

Perfectly Planned Proposal Pulled Perfectly ! There was magic happening at the Fairmont Kea Lani as all the elements came together, including the element of Surprise! Summer & Jaden walked down from their villa @fairmontkealani hand in hand dressed for dinner, but he took a detour where they walked up to the Pacific Terrace and he dropped to a knee in front of a STUNNING Heart of Roses & popped the question! Of course she screamed "YES!" Then in her excitement started jumping up & down when she realized that it was actually happening! Was such a JOY to witness this fantastic moment! Later I learned that Summer and her family had been coming to the Fairmont Kea Lani since she was a little girl and her dream was to get proposed there & voile it happened! Of course the venue was super fabulous with the canopy draped in flowing fabric and the flowers were as beautiful as sny I have ever seen! Truly, one of the most beautiful proposals I have ever been apart of! Thanks to @nikki_naea for her attention to the details, @signaturemaui for the beautiful canopy and Stephan Kuzmin Designs for the incredible flowers and ❤️! #maui #mauiweddingphotographer #mauiproposal #luxuryweddingphotographer #proposalphotographer #mauidestinationwedding #fairmontkealani

Was so fortunate to travel to Kauai for this lovely wedding at The Luxurious 1 Hotel in Hanalei Bay! The couple was so sweet & the location of the wedding was literally steps from Hanalei Bay with gorgeous trees providing shade and adding to the majesty of the location! After the short ceremony and some family pics we headed upstairs for the cocktail reception. The spot where the reception was being hosted had this magnificent view of the ENTIRE BAY & STUNNING VIEWS of the HANALEI MOUNTAINS! Truly one of the most gorgeous venues to make memories & a start to a marriage! Thanks J & C for the invite & Congrats to you both! #kauaiweddingphotography #kauaidestinationwedding #kauai #hawaiiweddingphotography #1hotelhanaleibay #luxuryweddingphotographer

Laughter and Love are the very Best things to wear when you’re celebrating 20 years married! Was such a joy witnessing Brandi & Dan’s vow renewal surrounded by their family and all their laughter & joy! They had no minister & just sort of did it their own way, both expressing themselves from their hearts, telling each other, their three daughters and their Maui Ohana why they are all so important to them and recommitting to the next 20 years! LOVE is SO BEAUTIFUL! Congrats to these two lovers & their Maui Ohana ❤️💍🥂👍🏼 #mauiweddingphotographer #mauiwedding #wedding #destinationwedding #maui #mauiohana

Congrats to Sarah & Ted on finally getting it done! Going the untraditional route they had the kids first then the picture perfect wedding at the Absolutely stunning @fairmontkealani At the beginning of the day one of the greatest moments happened when their little girl was running down the hallway & their little boy took off to meet her & when they met in middle they hugged and then holding hands ran to their parents! Couldn’t have written the script any better!!! With their families and best friends in attendance they toasted champagne, laughed, hugged and a great time! Their wedding cake was like a culinary dream in every way! So freaking beautiful! Very grateful to have been apart of this auspicious occasion & thanks for having me! ❤️💍🥂👍🏼 #mauiwedding #mauiweddingphotographer #destinationwedding #wedding #fairmontkealani #fairmonthotels

The Magical Maui Wedding of Karen & Javier was Absolutely stunning in every way! With literally thousands of roses & flowers adorning every single surface and the Epically Amazing location and the overcast conditions we were in for a treat! Then when we made our way down to the beach for sunset, the sun burst through the clouds & the B&G were almost weeping because it was so beautiful! Then in the most beautiful & selfless moment a group of strangers on the beach yelled out for Karen to throw her bouquet! Karen, on the spot decided to do it and the beach ERUPTED in APPLAUSE as Karen threw it & this young woman caught it with a gigantic smile on her face! Then Karen gave the stranger her bouquet. Absolutely a beautiful moment! Back at the venue @djdanmaui got the party ROCKIN & everyone danced including the flower girl who was only like 3 years old! Truly a night to remember! And my trigger finger was busy shooting some 2700 images! Holy Moly! Love my job! #mauiwedding #destinationwedding #mauiweddingphotographer #mauihawaii #weddingphotographer #mauiweddingvenue #weddingphotography

I LOVE MY JOB! Seriously! It’s moments like this that make it so incredibly satisfying! Beautiful bride in perfect window light looking as beautiful as ever! Once they said their “IDo’s “ I got to see their JOY as they celebrated with grace and passion, surrounded by ALL the ones who love them flying from all corners of the globe to @theolowaluplantationhouse to celebrate their union! Was a magical night in West Maui that is for sure! Congratulations to this lovely couple who found each other! #mauiwedding #destinationwedding #mauiweddingphotographer #wedding #mauihawaii #weddingphotographer #mauidestinationwedding #weddingphotography #maui

Absolutely Stunning Surprise Proposal! Hunter had reached out to me about making this happen and with a plan in place I positioned myself on the North Side of Kapalua Bay where they walked from their rental. Walking down on to the beach Aaliyah had zero expectations on how her life was about to change! Hunter walked her down to the water’s edge and told her all the things. Dropping to a knee, you can see in the images her excitement at what was being said & of course she said YES! This is absolutely my very favorite thing to photograph amongst all the amazing moments I get to witness! But seeing her reaction, and the way they held each other so tightly for nearly a full five minutes, before he turned her around and pointed to me when she realized she had just been proposed to. Hunter had gone over the top with a HUGE diamond and the way she looked at & her excitement was breathtaking! Was such a fun shoot even getting a little silly w us their hair covering each other’s faces & laughing about it the whole time. The start of the sunset was sort of bland but Maui delivers at the very end lighting up the sky in gorgeous color! The last shots of the night were taken from behind as they walked hand in hand to Merrimans where I had recommended they go ! @merrimansevents luckily had a two top open up & the next day they told me how terrific their engagement dinner was how perfect the whole day has unfolded! As I said earlier my very most favorite thing to photograph are SURPRISE ENGAGEMENT PROPOSALS and this was one for the books! Congrats Aaliyah and Hunter ❤️💍👍🏼 #bridetobe #coupleshoot #dreamring #engaged #engagement #engagementphotos #engagementring #engagementrings #engagementsession #fiance #futurewife #howheasked #ido #imengaged #isaidyes #love #proposal #shesaidyes #theknot #weddinginspiration #weddingphotographer #weddingplanning #engagementphotographer
