There’s something incredibly special about witnessing love evolve—from the first “yes” to the joy of building a family. For Jolene Kaneshige Photography, Oahu’s premier proposal planner and family photographer, being part of these milestones is more than just a job; it’s a privilege. Five years ago, we had the honor of helping Kamal plan a romantic picnic proposal for Katie at the breathtaking Makapu’u Beach on Oahu’s southeastern shore. This year, we were over the moon when Kamal reached out again, this time to capture their growing family, including their adorable 1-year-old daughter, Zoey.

Returning to the same beach where their love story took a monumental step forward was nothing short of poetic. Makapu’u Beach, with its iconic lighthouse, turquoise waters, and golden sands, once again provided the perfect backdrop—this time, for a celebration of family, love, and new beginnings.There’s something incredibly special about witnessing love evolve—from the first “yes” to the joy of building a family.
