Magical Surprise Proposal at Po’olenalena Beach | Maui Engagement Photographer
I love taking photos at Po‘olenalena beach! The soft golden sand, lava rocks glowing at sunset, and the quiet, open shoreline make it one of my favorite places for romantic sessions — and the perfect spot for a surprise proposal.
Last week I had the honor of photographing Joneil and Yulissa’s engagement, and it was one of those evenings where everything aligned beautifully.
After the proposal, we spent the rest of sunset wandering along the shoreline, climbing over lava rocks, and shooting in that golden, dreamy light that Wailea is famous for.
The photos came out romantic, warm, and full of emotion — exactly how their moment felt!
If you’re thinking about proposing to her on Maui, Po‘olenalena truly has it all:
It’s a wide beach, and people are spread out, which creates plenty of private spots
Lava rock formations for variety
Golden sunsets
Palm trees and kiawe
A calm, peaceful atmosphere
It’s the ideal mix of beauty and privacy — your moment stays intimate, but the photos look breathtaking!
