Brooke could not believe that she was being proposed to by her boyfriend (now fiance), Preston, because he was supposed to be in California. Brooke’s dad and I used be co-workers and one week before the secret proposal, he asked if I could photograph this special event? We discussed how things were going to transpire and almost all of Brooke’s family members were involved in one way or another. The proposal took place in Magic Island at Ala Moana beach park in Honolulu, Hawaii, just a couple of miles west of Waikiki, and the iconic Diamond Head was their backdrop. When Preston dropped to one knee and started to propose to, Brooke, she was in shock and didn’t know what was happening? She soon realized that he was proposing to her she said, YES! Brooke’s family came out of the woodworks to congratulate them and as soon as we were to take some family pictures, it started to rain. Brooke’s dad made some signs for them and her sister, Bree, was going to set up a nice picnic setting for photographs. It got dark pretty fast so we decided to complete their session on the next day. Bree could finally set up the picnic setting and also show their fathers amazing wooden signs. Brooke and Preston will be getting married in March of 2022 and I’m so honored to be there to photograph their big day. Congratulations you two!!!
