It’s a great idea to hire a professional photographer on the Big Island to capture such a special and exciting moment in a couple’s life – a surprise proposal! These beautiful Engagement photos were timed to coincide with the setting sun in Waikoloa – on the west side of Big Island near Kona.

The Sun sets in the West, so Waikoloa and Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii are perfect sunset locations to watch the golden Sun set into the ocean. Another unique feature of this gorgeous backdrop is the fact that you can see Maui island in the distance on a clear day.

Another good thing is that the weather is usually dry and sunny on the west side of Big Island, so a gorgeous golden sunset is pretty much guaranteed every time. The photographer needs to know how to shoot sunsets, of course, and that’s where our photography experience comes in.

This surprise proposal was planned out in advance with the Photographer and the venue. The venue was Four Seasons Hualalai in Waikoloa. Also, private and custom dinner on the beach for just the couple was planned out in advance, as well. Perfect spot on the beach, custom menu, excellent service, best photographer, and a Golden Sunset. What else can you ask for?

Professional wedding photography at Magic Island in Honolulu is a must to capture the incredible beauty Magic Island offers. Located very close to Waikiki and right next to Ala Moana Beach on the island of Oahu. Magic Island offers unobstructed views of Diamond Head, small boat harbor, Waikiki, Ala Moana, and Kaka’ako skylines, calm water lagoon with turquoise water, amazing views of sunsets, a huge green park with large trees, fireworks on Fridays, and unobstructed beach views of sunsets into the ocean.

No wonder, Magic Island is one of the most popular destinations for outdoor Weddings in Hawaii. Most of these weddings are small destination weddings and some are medium to large weddings. Medium to large size wedding require a well planned set up, so the wedding guests could comfortably sit and the wedding couple could be nicely framed inside of a beautiful beach style wedding canopy.

This medium-sized Wedding was carefully planned towards later in the afternoon, so that the ceremony finishes just in time for sunset and that it’s not so early in the afternoon that it’s too hot for most people. This Magic Island Wedding photoshoot was about 2.5 hours total. So we were able to capture the bride’s arrival, take lots of pre-wedding photos of the couple, their friends and family, details of decorations, the Wedding ceremony, after-the-wedding group shots, candid photos, the newlyweds at sunset AND evening style photos too!

It was lots of fun and the lucky couple ended up with a super nice variety of awesome wedding photos shot by Pasha of Best Hawaii Photos.
