Surprise Proposal at Wailea Beach – A Maui Love Story Two Years in the Making

On a perfect Maui afternoon, Matt and Nita experienced a moment they’ll remember forever—a surprise proposal at Wailea Beach, the same spot where Matt first asked Nita to be his girlfriend two years ago. This wasn’t just a beach; it was the beginning of their story. And now, it’s where their next chapter began.

 

From Maui to L.A. – A Journey of Love

What makes this proposal even more special is that Matt was born in Maui. Though he moved to Los Angeles when he was 7 years old, Maui remained close to his heart. It was in L.A. that he met Nita—his best friend, travel partner, and soulmate. Choosing Wailea Beach for the proposal wasn’t just about the views; it was a full-circle moment back to where it all started.

 

As a local Maui photographer who specializes in candid, emotion-filled moments, I was honored to capture every second of this unforgettable proposal.

 

From Best Friends to Soulmates

Matt and Nita are the kind of couple you instantly love being around. They’re best friends first—bonded by their love for travel, great food, and quality time with the people who matter most. Their connection is lighthearted and genuine, full of goofy energy, warmth, and an undeniable spark that shines in every photo.

 

Their proposal session wasn’t just romantic—it was fun, real, and full of laughter. A true celebration of the friendship and love they’ve built together.

 

A Sunset Proposal at Wailea Beach

Matt chose Wailea Beach for this once-in-a-lifetime moment because of its deep personal meaning—and because it’s one of the most stunning places on the island. With soft sands, palm-lined coasts, and iconic sunsets, Wailea Beach is a dream location for any proposal.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting golden light across the ocean, Matt got down on one knee—and Nita’s reaction was unforgettable. That joy, that surprise, that “YES!”—all perfectly timed with Maui’s most magical light.

From the moment of surprise to the playful, post-proposal celebration, every image tells part of their love story. With Wailea Beach in the background and Maui’s energy in the air, the photos speak volumes.
