Gloria and Kahi’s love story reached a beautiful milestone at Cória Estates, where Kahi planned the most thoughtful surprise proposal. With the scenic backdrop of lush vineyards and rolling hills, the stage was set for a truly unforgettable moment. There’s something magical about a winery proposal—the peaceful surroundings, the rustic charm, and of course, the romance in the air.

A Thoughtful Proposal Filled with Joy and Surprise

When Gloria graduated, they packed up their memories and made a move to Kahi’s hometown of Oahu, Hawaii. But not long after their move, Kahi had one more surprise up his sleeve—a proposal during their mainland visit that Gloria would cherish forever.

The moment Kahi got down on one knee, Gloria’s expression said it all—joy, surprise, and overwhelming love. Her reaction was so heartfelt and genuine that it felt like a scene straight out of a romance movie. The vineyard setting added a touch of rustic elegance, making the entire experience feel intimate and timeless.

As a photographer, capturing this special moment was an absolute dream. Proposals are always emotional, but there’s something extra special about winery proposals. The peaceful ambiance, combined with the couple’s excitement, creates a truly romantic atmosphere that’s impossible to replicate anywhere else.
