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?

“Will You Marry me?”

We are excited to announce that our photo “Simply Love” was selected as finalist in Photocon Hawaii “Essence of People of Hawaii” photography competition! 

It will be in a photo gallery display until the end of December 2019 in Kahala Mall at PicturesPlus. Then this gallery featuring other amazing photos by talented Hawaii photographers will move to the Outrigger Beachcomber hotel in Waikiki where it will be on display in January 2020.

Finally the gallery will travel 300 miles all the way to the Big Island where it will be on display at Kahilu Theater in Waimea.

This photo was truly a family effort with my wife Diana Yushin capturing the sweet moment of me holding our 2 week old newborn daughter Kiana, literally 6 feet from where she was born!

When I saw a unique light pattern coming through the wire mesh of our screen door I knew we had to take these shots right away. I set the camera settings just right, so this photo is completely raw, natural, unedited, and candid!

I’m really happy that the judges recognized the unique qualities of this photo.

Big thanks to PhotoCon Hawaii and PicturesPlus Hawaii for hosting and recognizing Hawai’i photography talent and creativity!!
