Whittier Narrows Horse Trail Engagement: Jorge loves Alejandra

October 1, 2022

Alejandra stood in the stable braiding the horse’s hair. She was having a bad day. Jorge picked that moment to talk to the pretty girl he had been admiring. He definitely changed her mood quickly. He was fun, positive and thoughtful. Their first date would be at her favorite coffee shop Tierra Mia. Then they went to the beach at sunset and sat in the sand and spoke. They were friends, but the more they talked, the more they fell for each other. Jorge was respectful, loving and kind. He admired Alejandra for everything she was.

He was a man that made Alejandra feel valued. She was the woman that showed her worth. He was the respectful man she wanted. He was the good girl he had waited for. They loved each other, took care of each other, and made the other feel better. Even their horses loved each other.

Pasadena Engagement Photography: Philip loves Bridget

July 1, 2022

They were backstage at Disney’s Aladdin: A Music Spectacular when they met. Philip thought Bridget was a cute redhead and so between shows he was being flirty. Bridget thought he was handsome in his uniform. She loved his humor and that he was a bit of a nerd. She admired his work ethic, and how knowledgeable, skilled and passionate he was about his job. She looked forward to working with him and was sad when he was not there. Philip thought that Bridget was selfless, hardworking and loving.

The vow of in sickness and in health began early. Bridget had a chronic illness and Philip was always very understanding. Their love for one another went beyond. They love three beautiful fur babies: Apollo, Roxy and Snoopy.

Los Angeles Arboretum Engagement: David loves Tay

May 10, 2022

Sometimes a Love Story isn’t instant. It’s not in that first look. A phone call isn’t made that night and a date is not planned the next day. Sometimes, love takes its sweet time, because it knows it will be special.

David was at a bar when Tay walked by. His friend called the friend Tay was with and suddenly they were all hanging out. Tay thought he was a nice guy and David played it safe by waiting a month to call her. Then it would take six months to actually go out on a date. That date would be at Keegans for his birthday, the same place they had met.

If it first the he played it safe, David stopped playing by the rules. Not that in love, there is any. He was writing poetry, drawing for Tay and telling her how he was always thinking about her. Tay saw a man who was extremely kind and giving. She was so grateful for him and thanked God he had come into her life when he did. It was in the hardest moment in her life that David refused to leave her alone. He was there to lean on.

David loved Tay for her strength, her determination and the love she gives to everyone. She was an amazing mother to her children. He of course had to propose to the woman that he loved with everyone present.

Tay thought she was going to hang out at the beach with a friend. Suddenly, friends and family appeared. Each person gave her a rose. More people, more roses. Tay was confused and crying. She had several dozens in her arms. She could hear music. The song, “Look at me, I’m in Love,” was playing. Everyone was yelling for her to turn around. She did. David was on one knee.

Mt. Baldy Engagement Photos / Pedro loves Jocelyn

December 2, 2021

Most couples go to the movies for their first date, but Pedro and Jocelyn actually met at the theater where they worked. Pedro saw a beautiful girl with brown curly hair, a great smile and eyes that he loved. Unfortunately, Jocelyn was dating someone else, and so, they just became friends. And even when Jocelyn’s other relationship had ended, they stayed friends.

They would hang out, going to Disneyland, trying new foods and even going on random drives to Malibu. They would talk about their families, past relationships and about life. Pedro was Jocelyn’s guy friend… a guy friend who liked her, but Jocelyn didn’t realize it or was just not interested.

It was on a trip to Canada with a group of friends that the realization literally hit her. Everyone was play fighting and so Pedro and Jocelyn joined in the fun. It was there, where when the lamp light shined on Pedro’s face, that all she could do was stare. It was something about the glow on his face, that told her, she liked him more than a friend. But as most love stories go, nothing changed. In fact, they got upset at each other on the trip and drove back to California, not in the happiest of moods.

Jocelyn knew she was upset even more because she realized she liked him. They met up and told each other how they felt. But Jocelyn did not want to ruin the friendship. She did not want to lose her guy friend. But Pedro was in love with the funny, caring girl who loved to travel. So he persisted and convinced her to give their relationship a try.

Fast forward 7 years in this love story. Pedro had decided that he would propose at the Grand Canyon. It had been the place of their first road trip together alone, and for them it was magical and mysterious. It was getting dark and so Pedro made Jocelyn and his brother speed walk. He told them that there was a glowing waterfall that needed to be seen in the sun. There was none. Jocelyn finally reached Pedro. He hugged her, started reading his notes and got on one knee to propose. His brother was recording, still wondering where the waterfall was. Jocelyn had officially lost her guy friend that day, but she said, “Of course,” to the best friend she would marry.

San Diego Botanic Garden: Sunset Cliffs: Engagement Photography: Nick loves Nana

October 24, 2021

Their love story started with a dead fish and a melody. They were on a field trip to the Salton Sea. Nana went with the photography club and Nick with astronomy one. Nana was taking a video of a dead fish and Nick bumped into her holding the other half of it. They began talking and Nick learned that Nana listened. It would become one the simple things that Nick would love about Nana. He could go on to insanely long rants and completely random topics and Nana would listen. He had already noticed the Jordanian beauty at the apartment complex meeting during their first year at UCSD, but he did not know they were neighbors. In fact without knowing it, they had answered each other’s knocking through the wall.

Nana’s friends would knock on the wall and Nick’s apartment mates would as well. The first time and only time Nana knocked, she knocked a melody. Someone knew the melody and knocked the response. The night they met, Nana hummed the melody and they began laughing as they realized they had been on the other side of the wall.

They were no longer strangers with a wall separating them and so they began hanging out every day, exploring San Diego together. The first place they would ever travel together would be Sunset Cliffs. Nana hiked down in a dress and they sat there on the beach talking for hours. It would be all of these adventures together and deep personal conversations that made Nick know that Nana was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

He took her to Mt. Soledad, the spot that overlooked all of San Diego with a high-up 360 degree view of the ocean, downtown, and all the neighboring communities. This is where they came when UCSD got tough. There above it all, Nick asked the woman he described as pure hearted, gorgeous and strong to marry him. Nana said yes to the man who she also described as pure hearted, intelligent and strong.
