California Engagement Photography: Claremont Colleges: Amanda loves Carlos

Between the bustle of dishes clanking, orders being taken, drinks being made, and the laughter of patrons, Amanda and Carlos noticed each other as they worked at TGI Fridays. Each thought the other was cute, but neither made a move.

It would be at Buffalo Wild Wings, when they were hanging out with coworkers, that they finally began to talk, connect, and honestly fall in love. Amanda soon saw that Carlos was thoughtful, funny, and caring.

“He is very thoughtful, if he sees I need help with anything, he doesn’t hesitate to help. He can make me laugh no matter what mood I’m in, and he is super sweet and can put a smile on my face and help me up when I’m feeling down. He is caring and a great dad to our fur babies. I know he is going to make an amazing dad for our future babies.”

Carlos had admired Amanda for a while. She was beautiful, but soon, he saw that she also had a lot of beauty within. Amanda was loving, funny, and dedicated. “She’s very affectionate, so she likes to snuggle up close any chance she gets with me… or the dogs. It doesn’t matter, she just likes being close to those she loves. She’s very funny. It’s never boring being around her. She’s a really hardworking person. She loves to learn new skills. I wish I had that same dedication that she has to try and learn new things. I guess in many ways we are opposites, but in ways that mesh and compliment each other and I love that about her.”

Knowing Amanda loved plants and nature, Carlos took her to an arboretum in Arizona. He had with him a ring that Amanda was destined to have. It was her grandmother’s, and it was a promise that Amanda would wear it when she got engaged. The Arboretum was crowded, but their hike took them to a secluded spot by a creek under big beautiful trees. Amanda was talking to Carlos about the view and staring at the trees when she noticed he was not saying anything. She turned to see him on one knee holding her grandmother’s ring. She did her best to not, “ugly cry,” and said, “Yes!,” to forever with the man she loved.

Chino Hills Wetlands Engagement and Family Session: Albert loves Ana and Luna

Fairground sounds and aromas filled the air at the church fair. The cute guy she had noticed in high school was there. Ana worked up the courage and reached out to him on Facebook. After many attempts to hang out, it finally happened, and Alberto took Ana to the movies. They saw Olympus Has Fallen, and while Ana was memorized by Gerard Butler’s accent, she wished Beto had more to say. All he could do was offer her some gum from a pack he had in his hoodie.

Fast forward to 12 years later, Alberto and Ana were now parents of beautiful daughter named Luna. And once again, Alberto began to lose his voice again from nerves. This time it was the proposal. After so much planning, he had Ana in the car on to what she believed was a birthday party when his voice began to change. Ana began to think that he was getting sick. They arrived at the birthday party. Everyone had their cell phones out. Convinced they were cutting the cake and not wanting to be in their videos, Ana backed away only to have Alberto grab her by the hand and take her to the backyard. There, in the middle of a rose heart, bright letters spelled out, “Will you Marry Me?” The mariachi played, “Si nos Dejan.” Ana walked the red path way adorned with red roses and candles. Albert dropped to one knee and Ana said, “Yes!” a milion times.

    Riverside Engagement: Fairmount Park: Game Lab: Donte loves Carissa

    They don’t remember who liked who first on Match.com, but they do remember that they talked about surviving a zombie apocalypse on their first date. And that would pretty much sum them up as a couple…goofy, fun and loving.

    Besides loving his big, goofy grin, Carissa loves Donte because he is determined, understanding, fun, and cute. “He makes me feel comfortable being my nerdy self and supports all the random hobbies I get in to. I can be a very anxious person, but he makes me feel confident and at ease.”

    Donte was in love the moment Carissa said she was into video games. (That and she matched her beautiful profile picture.) He soon learned that she was empathetic, humble, and funny. “It’s not always easy to make me laugh, but she can manage to get a good chuckle out of me almost every day. But more importantly, she has humility and empathy, which I think are characteristics that much of humanity is lacking, and it’s part of what makes her an incredible human being.”

    Donte proposed in the most original way ever!!! Donte did a striptease to Ginuwine’s “Pony.” He had the ring in his underwear. He wanted her to laugh and not cry. She said, “Yes!

      Pasadena Wedding Photography: New Year’s Eve Wedding: Ramiro loves Justine

      They worked together for ten years, admiring each other, but no one admitted their feelings. Then Justina bought a condo and needed someone to trust with the repairs. Ramiro came into her home and her heart.

      “He is funny, spontaneous, safe- he’s my everything! Ramiro will keep you laughing all day long. He’s hard working but will surprise you with a spontaneous invitation to go have fun somewhere outside of the daily routine. Regardless of where we go or what we do, I can turn my brain off because I trust that he’ll always keep us safe

      Ramiro, a diehard romantic, made an epic proposal. He proposed at sunset on a beach in Mazatlan. Roses, wine, a live banda, and even fireworks were there for the woman he loved.

      Their wedding was just as impressive. Pasadena was already filling with guests from around the world for the Rose Parade. Streets were being closed. Floats were receiving their last touches. And there, in the middle of it all, Ramiro and Justine promised to love each other forever. They married on New Year’s Eve in Pasadena under The Colorado State Bridge.

          I am a story teller with camera. I love capturing details... your shoes next your bouquet, a close up of your rings, flowers down the aisle. I love capturing emotions...your fiancé's face when he sees you for the first time, your mom biting her lip as she sees your dad walk you down the aisle and you laughing as your Maid of Honor tells the behind the scenes part of your love story. I love capturing amazing moments...your first kiss as husband and wife... Yes, I am a romantic and I am blessed to do what I love. I get to capture the ultimate promise of love... a wedding.

          A picture captures a moment in life, a reason to remember, holding the ones we LOVE... FOREVER.. in a Story in Time.
