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!

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!

I don’t claim to be GIA certified at all, at best a hobby hack gemstone lover, so please don’t think I am some sort of gemstone authority. I am not.

Eureka! I finally did it! I’ve been scheming over this project for weeks! The rose bud ice cubes were fabulous! Why am I so excited about flowers frozen in ice? It’s exactly that, beautiful…

The Hawaiian night air was warm and balmy, the stars still shone brightly despite some slight light pollution from the street lights, and then it happened; my heart fluttered and I…

Aloha! If you have been following my blogs, you know what a car enthusiast I am! As much as I love my sparkles and flowers, I love listening to my guy friends and my boyfriend “geek” out over cars!! It is such a great learning experience! So in their honor, I decided that today’s blog would be dedicated to those car enthusiasts! What does a car have to do with surprise, Hawaiian destination proposals?

When you think of flowers, spooky and eerily beautiful do not usually come to mind; but for the Halloween themed surprise engagement proposal photoshoot, in Hawaii, that was the criteria for the bouquet.

I love my Hawaiian island and all the wonderful, romantic, and beautiful beaches it has to boast of, but I have always been someone who enjoys marching to the beat of my own drum. I appreciate rare gems, things that are not typical, and cookie cutter.
