Surprise Proposal Photography
Romantic Surprise Proposal Beach & Sunset Sessions
Surprise Proposal photography sessions are easily the requests I'm the most excited to get. It’s so much fun: Plotting with the happy/nervous guy about the just the right place, the secret code word we’ll use and then having a ring side seat to watch their happy moment unfold while I get to photograph it is just so… well...romantic!

Romantic Waikiki Surprise Proposal Photography
Your Surprise Proposal can take place at nearly any location on Oahu, from Waikiki beaches to lesser known, off-the-beaten-path beaches and we will happily recommend several according to your needs and desires. The best time of day for surprise proposal photography is usually early morning or late afternoon for the softest, warmest light, however, it will really depend on the location.
To reserve an Oahu surprise proposal photography session, a deposit is required and is refundable if canceled more than 72 hours before your session. Refunds are NOT given for anything beyond our personal control - like weather, wind, sunburns, rain, wet clothes, etc. Rescheduling due to weather is at our discretion*.
“I decided to propose to my girlfriend while on vacation in Hawaii and hired Brett to take surprise photographs of the proposal (on a beach on the North Shore) as well as staged pictures during the sunset after we were finished. I live in California, and Brett was willing to talk with me on the phone multiple times to recommend perfect locations, the best times for sunset pictures, how to set up the “sneaky” element of the pictures during the proposal, etc. He was beyond accommodating and a joy to work with. The pictures turned out beautifully. Incredibly professional and artistic - you can tell he really knows what he is doing and has mastered this craft over the years. You can also tell he loves his job - it shows in every picture he takes! -Matt H.”

Surprise Proposal Video Bonus!
As an added bonus, we also offer free of charge, a GoPro video of your proposal! By attaching a GoPro video to the top of our camera, we can capture your proposal in stunning video from the viewpoint of the camera. We offer this free of charge, and without any editing - we simply give you the actual files. It’s not as good as having a dedicated videographer on hand, but then it is free. :-) See example video:
PRO TIP! Gentlemen, I highly recommend getting a SLIM ring box that fits much more discreetly and comfortably in your pocket. Check out these options on Etsy: Slim Engagement Ring Boxes

“Brett is a wonderful photographer that we would not hesitate to recommend to any one.
I made plans to propose to my girlfriend (now fiancé) in Hawaii and wanted to capture the special moment for our memories. I was initially very worried about selecting a photographer and how the photos would turn out as it’s a surprise proposal and it’s our first time in Hawaii. Brett made me feel so comfortable and was the most perfect photographer. He spent hours on the phone helping me pick a location for my proposal and helping me plan the whole day. His dedication was amazing as he hiked up to Makapu Lighthouse and waited for us to get there and hiked down with us while capturing some amazing photos. He managed to capture the perfect amount of staged and candid photos and even included some very funny ones. The only problem we have encountered is trying to choose our favourites, because there are just so many amazing shots. Thank you so much, Brett! You captured our day perfectly!”

“Brett was PERFECT! From the photos to the planning of my engagement he did it all at a more than fair price.
I am so thankful for him making the biggest day of my life perfect. I couldn't imaging anyone doing a better job than him.
Thank you so much, Brett!” - Lander W.
