As a photographer in Fiji, I’ve had the honor of capturing many love stories, but there’s something extra special about a surprise proposal. When Sanjar reached out to me a few months ago with his plan to propose to Kristina at Castaway Island Resort, I knew it was going to be a moment to remember.
Sanjar wanted everything to be perfect. We spent weeks discussing the best location, timing, and how to keep the surprise under wraps. He told Kristina they were simply going on a day trip excursion and a fun couple’s photo session—a brilliant cover story to make sure she wouldn’t suspect a thing.
The pristine beach at Castaway Island Resort was the ideal backdrop. With soft white sand, swaying palms, and the vast turquoise ocean stretching endlessly, it was pure paradise. Although the day was cloudy, the overcast sky gave us a stunning, diffused light—perfect for soft, romantic photos.
As we moved through the photo session, Sanjar picked the perfect moment. Just as Kristina was enjoying the experience, he suddenly dropped to one knee, revealing a sparkling ring. Her reaction was priceless—pure shock, followed by happy tears and an enthusiastic “YES!”
To add even more magic to the moment, Sanjar opted for the drone photography add-on. The aerial shots captured the breathtaking scenery from above, showing the couple in an intimate embrace against the vast beauty of Castaway Island. The contrast of their love story against the grand expanse of nature made for some truly spectacular images.
This proposal was a testament to the beauty of planning something deeply personal. Sanjar’s thoughtfulness, Kristina’s genuine joy, and the dreamy setting of Fiji made it an unforgettable experience.
If you’re planning a proposal and want it to be beautifully documented, let’s create something just as magical together! Whether it’s a secluded beach, a sunset cruise, or a hidden waterfall, Fiji is full of breathtaking places to pop the question—and I’d love to capture that once-in-a-lifetime moment for you.
