Gianni and I talked for months before his proposal to girlfriend Shoana. He wanted it to be sweet, romantic and unique to them. From the custom sign he ordered through Etsy to the handwritten message in a bottle, the personal touches were an important part of his proposal plan. With the help of Aloha Flower Co we had a tropical heart made in the sand, and the custom touches added for Shoana to find.

I setup like a tourist enjoying the beach, camera hiding in wait...Gianni knowing the plan and final beach location led Shoana to discover a message that had sailed across the ocean to find her on this beach in Maui. With message in hand Gianni dropped down to one knee and proposed with an absolutely stunning engagement diamond. Tears of joy and lots of laughs filled the air as we officially kicked off our proposal celebration! We spend the next hour photographing and exploring the beach together until the sun dipped and the moon rose.
