SURPRISE proposal IN KAUAI
Couples photography vs paparazzi method
Proposing during a regular meet-and-greet photo shoot -- does not hinder the proposal surprise. It's easier to coordinate. Many say it's less stressful. And it costs less.
Paparazzi-style. Where I just so happen to be at the precise spot when you go down on a knee. If this sounds like the best option, it might very well be, but just know that your partner, who doesn't have a clue that you're going to propose, might decide to to stop off for a shave ice before hitting the beach, or walk a different direction along the beach. So the proposal appointment time that you've arranged with your Kauai photographer (me) gets blown; if it's a sunset, the time for photos can simply vanish. The paparazzi method can also run into other issues—if there's multiple photographers on the beach it can cause confusion, or a family already lounging at the planned spot is far from ideal. While the paparazzi option might go off without a hitch, it might not, and while you might think the surprise must be better this way, statistics say otherwise. The paparazzi method is also more costly.
VIDEO + PHOTOGRAPHY Having a high energy video captures the full emotion! Relive it back home anytime you want. Nothing beats this!
