Disney Themed Engagement: Claremont: Chris loves Veronica

Once upon a time, two extraordinary people found each other—not in a castle or enchanted forest, but at a birthday party. Veronica hadn’t planned on attending Chris’s celebration, but thanks to a bit of sibling persuasion, fate stepped in. That night, she noticed his warm smile and how genuinely respectful he was. What started as a chance meeting quickly grew into something deeper, especially when they saw each other through the eyes of family…. Chris’ siblings.

Chris was taken by Veronica’s gentle strength and nurturing heart who loved his family Veronica saw a man who was full of surprises—thoughtful, kind, and full of love. It was clear from the beginning: they weren’t just falling in love, they were finding home in one another.

Like any true fairy tale, their journey hasn’t been without its dragons and dark woods. Life threw storms their way—challenges most would shy away from. But instead of turning back, they stepped forward. They chose to open their hearts and adopt children with special needs, even when life made it difficult to carry on.

In the midst of Veronica’s battle with kidney cancer, the call came: a baby needed them. She was still healing, barely able to hold her own child, yet the universe asked for more. So she prayed. And then, like something out of a dream, healing came. Strength returned. And love poured in. That baby joined their family, followed by two more beautiful little girls—all wrapped in the kind of love only a true hero and heroine could give.

Villains have interrupted their wedding plans before. Dishonest venues, illness, a global pandemic—every time they tried to plan the perfect celebration, something stood in the way. Las Vegas chapels and backyard vows became their reality. But finally, it’s time for the magic they’ve always deserved.

Chris and Veronica will renew their vows at the happiest place on Earth—they are having a Disney Wedding! Amazing vendors, like Ultimate Music Entertainment, are helping make this dream come true, donating their time and talent to honor this inspiring couple.

Their engagement shoot everything Disney—Veronica in a Cinderella gown, whimsical UP-inspired props, Disney ears, and of course, all the Magic and Happiness of True Love!

New rings coming for the wedding!

    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.

    Claremont Family Photographer: Scripps: Areas

    Usually, I say crazy stuff, and people laugh. This time, I said crazy stuff, they said crazier stuff and I took pictures while laughing. There were telenovela characters, no shoes at one point, and new dating apps were being created. (Please look for my pictures in the future on “Hotdads.com” and “Curlyhairmodelsinc.”)

    It was wonderful seeing this family again. I captured Alyssa’s Sweet 16 and Mia’s Graduation.

      California Quince Photographer: Claremont Colleges: Yenaib

      Yenaib wore a beautiful knitted handmade dress. Her grandmother created this exquisite piece with hundreds of rolls of yarn. The dress is as unique as Yenaib. She is one who immediately makes you feel appreciated. She is kind and finds joy in helping others.

      In her mother’s beautiful words…

      “Yenaib es el ejemplo de una persona tierna, amorosa y perseverante. Yenaib demuestra un futuro favorable por su honestidad y deseo de ayudar a los demas. En esta vida nos a podido alegrar con su sencillez y su pasión por hacer sentir bien a los que la rodeamos. Eres una persona que se propone metas y no quitas el dedo del renglón hasta que cumple su cometido. No hay nada en la vida mas importante que tus principios y educación para poder alcanzar tus metas.”
