Joel contacted us and wanted us to plan and coordinate a beautiful proposal for the love of his life, Nikki. Our Paradise Proposal Package has everything he wanted with the addition of a Butterfly Release and Professional Videographer.
As Joel arrived with Nikki he made an excuse to visit the beach to meet the team and get mic'd up by our video guy. A few minutes later he went back to fetch Nikki.
As hurricane Madeline was departing Hawaii and Lester was approaching our team had to set the picnic up on a grassed area. The lighting was amazing as the sun shone bright between a few passing clouds.
Our Photographer captured these shots as the event unfolded.

A Very British Picnic Proposal in Oahu, Hawaii September 1, 2016 23:37
Oliver was traveling from England, UK with his girlfriend Toni and thought it would be the ideal time to propose. Looking for a quiet and secluded location we decided that Kawela Bay would be the best option.
The beautiful half moon bay is perfect for a romantic picnic and it's not just us that think that, Hollywood has used the location many times for blockbuster TV shows and movies!
Oliver had spent a while deciding which package may work best for him. In the end he settled on our Paradise Proposal Package which includes our Paparazzi Photographer, a gorgeous picnic for two and our Live Guitarist!
While the rest of Hawaii was running around preparing for Hurricane Madeline our team was preparing an amazingly beautiful picnic for our couple.

A Hurricane Proposal! Tony Pops the Questions as Hawaii braces itself for Madeline & Lester September 1, 2016 01:10
There is such a thing as the perfect storm. At least for Patricia who must have thought Tony was going crazy taking her to the beach in the rain. The old saying come rain or shine comes to mind.
Tony had booked us for a last minute proposal while he was on vacation on the island of Maui with his girlfriend.
Tony was sure he wanted to go ahead with the Proposal regardless of the weather and impending hurricane warnings.
Armed with a few umbrella and some rain cover for our Paparazzi Photographer the proposal went off without a hitch. Patricia was clearly surprised!
Despite some rain (which we feel makes the pictures looks really amazing and tropical) everything went according to plan.

When a Photo Shoot turns into a Surprise Proposal August 24, 2016 21:37
Kidane called us and wanted to create a magical and memorable event to propose to his girlfriend, Liana. After discussing a few options we settled on the "Photoshoot Decoy".
As Kidane would be traveling to Hawaii with his girlfriend and 3 children, the chances of him being able to pull her away for a surprise proposal were pretty slim, and possibly just convincing her to visit a random beach may be hard too.
The plan was to fake a photoshoot on the beach. Of course the Photographer was real and the shoot was to go ahead like any family photoshoot (for the first 15 minutes or so).
Everything went perfectly to plan and nobody but Kidane and our team knew anything out of the ordinary was about to happen. Right on cue our Guitarist strolled along the beach playing Liana's favorite song. At that point Kidane suggested the family pose for a picture with the "random" guitarist. As the family posed and smiled for the chance encounter Kidane dropped to one knee and popped the question.
The expression was very real and Liana was obviously speechless for a few seconds. After the emotions subsided she agreed to marry the man that had orchestrated the whole elaborate proposal.

Alan wanted to propose to his girlfriend Joanna whilst in Hawaii on Vacation. He contacted us a little over a week ago to see if we could help. As always we welcomed to challenge to help Alan achieve his dreams.
Alan selected our Paparazzi Proposal Package and Magic Island Lagoon in Oahu was chosen as the preferred location and although unusual rain had washed out the island for most of the day, the clouds parted and the sun shone as Alan popped the question.
After Joanna's shock and excitement had subsided our Photographer posed the couple up for a mini engagement shoot. What a beautiful couple and the pictures captured the moment and emotions perfectly!
It was a absolutely amazing event and Joanna was clearly very happy and now a soon to be Mrs. Congratulations to both of you, we all would love to wish you the very best for your future lives together.

A New Years Eve Surprise Proposal in Oahu January 1, 2016 11:56
David from Seattle, WA contacted us with plans to propose to his girlfriend Sommer during a New Years Eve Party at the Moana Surfrider Hotel in the heart of Waikiki. He planned to "ring" in the New Year in more ways than one!
His plan was to pop the big question just 5 minutes before the clocks struck midnight and he selected our Paparazzi Proposal Package to capture the moment and also included a bottle of champagne, two lei's and a beautiful bouquet of 18 red roses!
We spent a while planning this event with David as it was a little different from our normal proposal environments, but we love new challenges... The event would be simple but well planned.
Our coordinator approached Sommer and David while at the party and asked if they wanted a Polaroid Photo taken, of course, thinking it's part of the hotel party they said "sure".
David had earlier that night met up with our team and taken a polaroid picture of him on one knee and then the question "Will you Marry Me?" written on the bottom. The picture that Sommer was given back was the one of David, not the one just taken.
Obviously surprised Sommer starred at the picture for a few seconds before realizing what was happening! She obviously said "YES" as David dropped to one knee. A few minutes later fireworks started lighting up the sky as 2016 rolled around.
Thank you Raquel!
It was great working with you on the Paparazzi Proposal. Aimei and Bret were wonderful, and Sommer was very surprised and very happy!
She still can't believe how everything was set up so perfectly to capture the proposal. I'm very happy I got in touch with you to help plan this.
We're looking forward to seeing the photos!
Congratulations to Sommer and David... Everyone at Married with Aloha wishes you the best in your future lives together!
The Question... Sommer is given the polaroid picture of David on one knee and the words "Will you Marry Me?" written underneath.
It takes Sommer a second to realize what is going one, as David prepares to drop to one knee to ask her the question himself.
The Answer... David, on one knee asks a very shocked and excited Sommer... "Will you Marry Me!?"
David holds up a beautiful Diamond ring for Sommer to place on her finger...
The Ring... David then takes Sommer's left hand and places the ring on her finger. Sommer cannot contain her excitement as she is seen smiling at David and the ring!
Sommer then gives David a huge hug! Congratulations to you both... Please enjoy some more pictures below!

Zoltan contacted us back in October because he had elaborate plans to propose to his then girlfriend Rella. He selected our Paparazzi Proposal Package and one of our favorite but rarely used locations, Ironwoods Beach on West Maui.
After meticulous planning for the past few months the day finally arrived and Zoltan headed to the beach with Rella and the ring secretly hidden!
As they approached the beach our Paparazzi Photographer was laying in wait to capture the moment he popped the question... and when it arrived, what an amazing moment it was. Ella could not contain her excitement as she reached for the ring.
After a few moments to relax and take in all the excitement Zoltan Lei'd his Fiancé with a Green Orchid Lei before enjoying a Toast to Love, Laughter and Happily Ever After while listening to the guitarist playing the couples favorite hits.
It was a beautiful event with lots of love and laughter. Congratulations from us all!
The Magic Happens on Magic Island, Oahu September 10, 2015 00:00
Denis contacted us from Australia wanting to setup a romantic Surprise Picnic Proposal while on vacation in Hawaii with his fiancé Joanna.
Not having much time we sprung into action to create a beautiful, romantic and elegant picnic on Magic Island Lagoon in Oahu.
Although they had just landed that morning from Australia, Denis met us to give us the ring which was then hidden in a sea shell at the picnic location. Joanna had no idea what was about to happen.
Denis & Joanna jumped into a cab from their room at The Modern Hotel as Joanna thought they were heading out to see Honolulu and Waikiki. Little did she know that she was being whisked off to her private picnic for two.
Denis waited until Joanna had gotten over the excitement of having such an elaborate setting made just for her before he showed her the closed sea shell and asked her to open it. She said "Yes".
As the sun dropped lower in the sky our Guitarist arrived to play an hour of love songs for the couple.
It was a beautiful evening and we would like to wish Joanna and Denis a huge Congratulations!

After a short walk on the beach, right before sunset they arrived at the picnic location. Without further a do Michael dropped down on one knee and popped the all important question. "Will you Marry Me!!!!".
Obviously Kim said "YES" and the couple sat down to enjoy there hamper full of delicious treats.
It was such a great experience to be a part of this and we wanted to wish both Michael and Kim a very huge CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Popping the question is always an exciting time, but having it all captured on camera by a professional Paparazzi Photographer means that every moment of the proposal is caught on camera!
Dave from Australia choose our Paparazzi Proposal Package to pop the question to his partner in Maui, Hawaii. The time and date were set, we didn't have a chance to meet with him before the event so everything was planned via email and went perfectly!!!
The Maui sun was shinning over the blue skies and the ocean waves crashing on the shoreline. As planned Dave dropped to one knee and asked the all important question... Obviously she said YES!
