Pat reached out to me several weeks before coming to Kauai for vacation. He had plans to propose to Adriana while in Hawaii, but didn’t want her to know it was coming. I thought it was incredibly sweet of him to invite me along during this special occasion in their life.

Tips for the guys out there: hire a photographer when you propose. Your lady will be so glad you did and cherish those memories forever! You will also get brownie points 😉

So basically he knew he wanted to propose in Kauai, but that was it. He hadn’t been here before so he didn’t know which locations to choose from. Over the next several weeks, we planned together and picked the perfect day, time, and location. If you are a guy and don’t know anything past you want to propose, I GOT YOU! I will help you with ALL the details so don’t you worry! You trust me, and I’ll take care of the rest.

We had decided on Hanalei Bay at sunset for these proposal photos. I had orchestrated this whole ninja plan so she would have no idea, and then BAM! Before we knew it he was down on one knee and she said YES! I was straight sweatin and my heart was racing for him, so I can only imagine the rush it was for him.

After the surprise, we headed to the water to take a few moments to soak what just happened in. Adriana ended up in tears and just so happy with how everything turned out. They ended our time together jumping off the pier as newly engaged couple in Kauai!
