Romantic Surprise Proposal at Po‘olenalena Beach | Maui Engagement Photographer

One of the most fun parts of being a photographer on Maui is capturing surprise proposals - those once-in-a-lifetime moments filled with love, anticipation, and joy. Daniel reached out to me from Las Vegas with the plan: he wanted to propose to his girlfriend, Brooke, at the beach before taking her out to a celebratory dinner.

To make the moment extra special, Daniel arranged for a beautiful flower setup on the sand. I helped coordinate with a local Maui florist to bring his vision to life, so everything was ready when they arrived.

Po‘olenalena Beach in Wailea is one of my favorite proposal spots. It has wide stretches of golden sand, dramatic lava rocks, and dreamy sunset light - all the elements for a romantic atmosphere. Whether you’re planning a surprise proposal or an engagement session, it’s a location that never disappoints!

After the proposal, we spent some time exploring the beach and capturing playful, romantic engagement portraits. The session felt effortless and full of joy, and Daniel and Brooke’s love for each other radiated in every frame!

If you’re planning to pop the question in Maui, I’d love to help you create a magical experience - from choosing the perfect location to capturing every detail of the moment.
