In the grand symphony of love, sometimes the sweetest melodies are orchestrated by the dearest friends. For Julius and Debie, a seemingly ordinary dinner date with friends at the exquisite 53 by the Sea restaurant in Honolulu transformed into a crescendo of love and surprise, meticulously composed by Julius's closest companions. The magical moment was not only lived but lovingly captured by the skilled lens of Jolene Kaneshige Photography.

If you are looking for a stunning location for an epic proposal, check out Heaven’s Lanai. The view is breathtaking and it's sure to leave your partner speechless. A client contacted me awhile back about finding the perfect spot for a cliffside proposal! Immediately, I thought of Heaven’s Lani. The location offers the perfect combination of natural beauty and serenity, making it an ideal place to pop the big question.

Aloha! I want to be the first to congratulate you on your journey to planning your proposal! I hope that by reading this blog you will feel better equipped on making that critical decision of setting the date of your proposal, especially if you are planning the big surprise in Oahu, Hawaii!

Recently, I had a conversation with our head proposal coordinator and ninja photographer about how far in advance most partners plan the proposal. I was quite surprised how many partners plan the actual proposal at the last minute! At first, I wondered why they would plan it last and not before or  around the same time as actually purchasing the ring.

When Elizabeth was on vacation in Hawaii with some friends; Shane saw this as the perfect proposal opportunity! Shane & Elizabeth were high school sweethearts.

When I was little, one of my favorite books was “The Secret Garden.” I loved the story of how with love and attention an abandoned garden is rejuvenated. That gave me an idea, what about setting up a “Secret Garden” themed Surprise Proposal in Hawaii?!

Recently, I had a conversation with our head proposal coordinator and ninja photographer about how far in advance most partners plan the proposal…..

In an ideal world… everything goes according to the plan. This simply isn’t so in real life. We can do as much planning as possible and prepare until our hearts are content, but we also have to accept that things can and will go wrong.

Surprise Engagements are one of our favorite moments to photograph and plan; so when Hung contacted us to help him plan a memorable proposal on Oahu, we were honored and excited to help him plan his big moment!

It was a beautiful, sunny day here on the east side of Oahu! The trade winds lightly danced through the palm trees, birds were singing their sweet songs, the waves gently kissed the sandy shoreline, and the day seemed to scream it was perfect for a picnic!

For as long as I can remember, and probably before my time as well, rose petals have been associated with love, romance, and beauty! So what better way to enhance a surprise, destination proposal with a large outline of a heart made with rose petals on one of the beautiful Hawaiian beaches?

It had been quite a crazy day for me personally, to put things mildly. (I won’t go into any of the insane details, but trust me, it was crazy.) I felt the rush of adrenaline just pounding through my veins shooting a burst of much needed energy through me!

The island of Oahu is home to many of the most popular attractions in Hawaii. Known as “The gathering place,” there is something for everyone from a melting pot of cultural enrichment, food, fun…

I feel like in the wedding industry it is more the women imagining, dreaming, and scheming; but I think it’s time to jump start the conversation by reflecting it at point A: the proposal!

You’ve seen it; those chrome rims, detailed body, brand new slick paint job, leather interior, 0-60 in nanoseconds. You’ve ooohed and aaahhhed, then finally the day arrives when you are able to…
