Of course you're a romantic! That's why you're going down on a knee to propose to your girlfriend/ boyfriend and having a Kauai engagement photographer capturing the whole thing. Where will you propose to make it monumentally special? How are you going to announce it back home? I can help.
I don't do flowers and podiums but I can recommend a florist. I concentrate only on your photos, making them unique and beautiful. After you've proposed, we'll do a celebration portrait photo shoot. Don't worry if you're not used to posing for pictures. I'll make it easy.

Propose during a planned photoshoot. Regular meet-and-greet does not hinder the proposal that will as a surprise to your other half during the photoshoot. A glance from me saying 'go time" is all it takes, and I as your Kauai photographer will have more control with lighting and placement. It's also less money this way.
Paparazzi-style. You're just strolling along the beach with your partner, when you go down on a knee at the selected spot, where I just so happen to be standing nearby (or sitting) ready to capture the moment. 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 at a shave ice stand before hitting the beach, or walk a different direction along the beach. So the proposal appointment that you've arranged with me can easily become sort of meaningless, and if it's a sunset, well that just might have been blown! The paparazzi style proposal can also run into other issues, such as multiple photographers on the beach causing confusion for you, or a family already lounging at the planned spot. While the paparazzi style 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 quite a bit more expensive, for the reasons just stated.
Hybrid medium proposal (video and photography. Having a high energy video to complement the surprise proposal photos completely grabs the celebration and captures the full emotion so that not only can you relive it back home anytime you want, your family and friends can see it too. Nothing beats this!
Having a surprise proposal photoshoot is "romantic" off-the-charts! When you look back years later, no doubt you'll say, "I'd love to go back to that sushi bar by the beach the day I proposed to you." There are a few ways to go about capturing a surprise proposal. Let me help you choose the best location, without a crowded beach, but a secluded beach. Let me help you make it the best day ever!
