See what's included →At Paparazzi Proposals we understand that you have a big life decision ahead, and it needs all kinds of support: from emotional guidance to help with logistics and planning. Over a decade of working and learning, we have developed protocols to make sure your proposal is executed in the most beautiful way.
A proposal is not just a photographer. Behind your date there is a team: coordinators and planners, photographers, editors and decorators, drivers and musicians. No last-minute cancellations, no no-shows, no unexpected changes (unless the weather doesn't permit). We are here for you, through what is likely one of the most important events of your life.
“You can go with one photographer you found online. It's not impossible, but you're taking a risk: we often get couples who are going through a last-minute cancellation, and we do our best to accommodate them, but a proposal planned on a tight deadline rarely ends up as perfect as you want it to be. Come to us from the beginning, and we'll support you with the whole team.”
Pick your date and we'll check availability and match you with the perfect package.
Popular weekend dates book out 2–3 weeks ahead. Secure yours now.
Hawaii hands you a backdrop for every kind of marriage proposal. We've scouted every spot on this map ourselves: for the light, for the privacy, and for the angles that make the photographs worth framing. Tap any pin to jump to that spot, or let a Hawaii proposal planner find the place where you two will want to get engaged.
Not sure how to ask? Start with the place. The spot you choose sets the tone of the entire moment, whether you want it hidden and intimate or grand and unmistakably Hawaii.
Every idea below works beautifully on its own, or dressed up with full proposal decorations: a styled picnic, a candle heart glowing at dusk, or giant MARRY ME letters waiting as you round the corner. Your proposal planner arranges the permits, the timing and the setup, and your photographer is already in position, so all you have to do is walk them there.

This trail in the Lanikai Beach area of Oahu goes up to World War II pillbox bunkers. This hike gives an amazing view of the sunrise across the beautiful blue water and Mokulua Islands. The pillbox bunkers offer a unique and somewhat rough foreground to the perfect postcard water background.
This is a roadside lookout point on the southeastern coast of Oahu, situated on top of a cliff with stunning views of the ocean and crashing waves. The waves breaking against the rocks create a lot of energy in the image.
The North Shore of Oahu has broad sandy shores and, depending on the time of year, incredible waves for surfing. It's the dynamic energy of broad beaches and, in the winter, huge waves that makes the scenery so interesting. It's an excellent choice for a romantic couple who loves the sea.
Ko Olina has tranquil artificial lagoons on the leeward side of Oahu, with placid water that would fit perfectly into a tranquil beach idea. The lagoons offer calm water for relaxing rather than for surfing.
This is a secret, secluded cove on the southeastern side of the island of Oahu (also referred to as Eternity Beach). It is hidden away by some dramatic cliffs in the area. It is a hidden place despite being one of the most famous places in the area.
This is a resort setting located in the northwestern part of Maui with perfectly landscaped grounds leading into the calm and clear water of the sea. The combination of this perfectly landscaped resort setting and the sea creates an atmosphere that is both relaxing and sophisticated.
This is a beach located on the Kohala Coast of Hawaii Island (also known as the Big Island) which features a lava rock shoreline and crystal-clear waters. The juxtaposition of the dark lava rock against the blue water makes for an incredibly distinct image of the Big Island.
Diamond Head is the background feature of Oahu’s most famous beach, which has become the classic postcard shot of Hawaii. It is the volcanic outline that provides the background of this scene. It is the classic beach in Hawaii to propose marriage at.

As a mother of only one child, this is the perfect gift. Hiring Paparazzi Proposals to capture this event was the best thing I could have ever done for my son and his future bride. The photos are perfect and the moment was captured forever.
It could have been overwhelming to realize you were suddenly in a photo shoot that you didn’t plan for, but he was super kind and easy going. I dabble in photography myself and can be pretty picky about it, his work is beautiful.
He knew what he was doing the second he got there. He gave tips on how my brother should have his girlfriend walk through the door, and even got down on one knee himself to make sure the position was perfect. The photos were ready 2 days later.
