Surprise Adventure Proposal

Surprise Adventure Proposal

Surprise Adventure Proposal

  Derek had reached out to me about planning his surprise proposal and wanted to do something special for his longtime girlfriend! We talked about a lot of different ideas & then settled on capturing the surprise & then going on an adventure session on Maui’s West Side. I quickly recommended that he get reservations at Merriman’s Restaurant & luckily he was able to get a table & reservation made. Him getting reservations at this amazing restaurant sort of dictated that we would finish on the rocks in front of the restaurant!
We communicated mostly by text & a few(calls), but were able to get all the details nailed down & the day finally comes & I am positioned in the perfect spot. Katrina was completely unsuspecting & they got out of their car & he positioned her exactly in the right spot, dropped to a knee with a ring in hand & popped the question. She was completely surprised & you can see the moment when she realizes that I am photographing the important moments. Afterwards we explored this gorgeous tropical forest then raced to get to the rocks in front of the restaurant for a terrific sunset. And let me say that the sunset did not disappoint! Was so much fun creating these images with these two lovers. After we finished he whisked her up to Merrimans for a romantic dinner spiced up with the huge diamond he gave her & the sound of breaking waves!
Enjoy the imagery!

“Healing is an Art! It takes time, it takes practice. It takes LOVE!”~ Maza Dohta  With all the pain and suffering we have endured in the last month the one thing that cannot be overlooked is how this tiny island has come together to support and rise up to the challenges!  This community has risen to meet the needs in so many wonderful ways and although this new path we are on is going to be a long one the journey is being met islandwide, state wide & nation wide! I encourage you & everyone you know to keep supporting the many wonderful people & wonderful charities to help those suffering from Maui’s Wildfire disaster!  Congrats to Jess & Michal who married just after it all happened and honored the victims with a beautiful tribute and a moment of silence!💍💍Thank you so much! 🤙🏼😢  #mauiwedding #mauiweddingphotographer #maui #mauiphotographer #hawaiiweddingphotographer #mauiweddingplanner #mauiweddingphotographers #mauibride #mauihawaii #wedding #supportmauidirect #lgbtq

Still mourning for all the lives, the history, the livelihoods and homes lost. This tragedy weighs so unbelievably heavy on our hearts as we continue to grieve and try to make sense of what has happened! The outpouring of Love and Aloha supporting the people of Lahaina and Maui is helping & has helped but this is going to be a marathon!  Sending prayers and love to all!  We are LahainaStrong!  #lahainastrong #mauistrong #maui #mauifire #keepsupporting #supportmaui @mauiaidsfoundation
