This Tearful Maui Proposal Was a Complete Surprise — Even to the Photographer!

Updated on June 26, 2018 at 5:50 PM

While in Hawaii for a friend's wedding, Mike and Lara wanted to take advantage of the stunning scenery and book their own couple's session. As far as their photographer knew, the two would just be taking photos together for fun. But about five minutes into the photo shoot, Mike asked if he could do something before taking anymore pictures. He surprised both Lara and their photographer with a heartfelt proposal right on the beach! Lara immediately teared up as he got down on one knee. Every moment was captured, and they continued on with the rest of their session as a newly engaged couple.

See the sweet photos ahead!
