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.

Pasadena Engagement Pictures: A Love Story: George loves Sasha.

September 4, 2021

It was Sasha’s first day of work as a barista at Crevier BMW and no one had said, “hello.” It was the end of the day, and she was taking out the trash when George noticed her from across the parking lot. He walked straight up to her and introduced himself. It was the beginning of a friendship that would last 8 years. A friendship of check ins and hellos, but a sincere one. It would take 8 years for George to ask her out and when he did, he said, “as friends.” They met up for sushi and drinks. The moment Sasha walked through the door and saw him sitting there, butterflies swarmed. George of course, felt the same way. What was supposed to be a quick catch up with a friend ended up being a date. They stayed until closing and ended the night with an immaculate kiss.

Sasha had prayed for many years for God to send her a man who would accept her and her son. Her prayers were answered in abundance. George not only accepted them, but cherished and protected them.

“George makes me feel like I am always the only person in a room. As if I am the most beautiful creature to walk this earth. He makes me feel safe and secure with just one kiss on my hand. He makes me laugh so hard that I snort- a talent seldom experienced. I am never the weirdo in the room anymore, but rather WE are the weird couple now! But that’s okay, I’ll happily take the crown of weird old couple in the room one day! I can see us strutting around with our very old and fat selves, laughing and smiling and celebrating our lives together, because that’s what I see when I look into his eyes…I see George by my side for the rest of my life.”

The day George proposed, he told Sasha, he was taking her out for dinner for date night at The Gulf Stream. Sasha didn’t noticed that they were going in the wrong direction, until they pulled up to the boating docks in Newport. George yelled, “Surprise!!!,” and Sasha said, “Oooookay??” She figured that they were going to watch the sunset on the beach, but instead George walked her down the dock that was covered in rose petals. The dock lead to a gondola with a candle lit dinner, wine, and desserts. While enjoying the water, the night, and a romantic song the gondolier sang, a glass bottle floated alongside them. George leaned over, grabbed it and pulled out a note. He gave it to Sasha to open. She read the words, “My Sasha, I love you with all my heart. Will you Marry me?” Sasha looked up and George was on one knee holding a beautiful ring. Of course, Sasha cried and said, “Yes!”

January 25, 2021

Sabrina thought they were out celebrating his birthday. She had no idea Jered’s mom and aunt were out laying petals to form a rose heart in front of the doors of the St. Francis Chapel of the Mission Inn. Jered had told her it was a short cut to the restaurant. She turned the corner to see their family and friends waiting. She smiled at him. Jered took her to the middle of the heart, and declared to the world why he loved her. She was the woman who had stood my his side and made him strong. An injury had ended his NFL career, but Sabrina’s love had never ceased.

Jered dropped to one knee and asked the question of a life time. Sabrina said, “Yes,” and wiped her happy tears away. Family and friends surrounded them and congratulated them. Let the wedding planning begin!

Perris Ranch Engagement Photography: Hector loves Erlinda

November 15, 2020

Erlinda laughed when her cousins put Tinder on her phone. She was in New Jersey, miles away from home. What did she care if a New Jersey man messaged her? She was flying back the next day. It didn’t matter. What Erlinda didn’t realize was that the App went with your location.

Meanwhile, across the nation, Hector was being encouraged to use the APP. It would take two days, but, “one like,” would turn into a screen of confetti telling them both they were a match. It would be Love at First Swipe.

One could say it was a coincidence, but coincidences are, “God’s Little Miracles.” There was divine intervention… In Erlinda’s words, “For a moment I thought everything was going a little fast, but then I had received little signs that, maybe Mommy sent him to me to help heal my broken heart, maybe the universe sent us our match because the way things were going, it was like our prayers, our parents prayers, and the prayers of those who loved us brought us together.”

They both had found the person who loved as much and gave as much as the other. Holding on to each other, being partners and growing old together was what they both wanted.

Four months shy of a year together, Hector proposed on his birthday. Spending the rest of his life with his soulmate was the present he wanted. As the sun set at a beach, Hector asked Erlinda to be his forever. Erlinda said, “Yes.”

Mt. Baldy Engagement: Edgar loves Monica

July 17, 2020

Monica looked beautiful in her white dress. The nerves started the moment she got to the church. She started to walk down the aisle, but suddenly stopped. Everyone was looking. She was scared. She couldn’t do it. She stopped walking towards the altar. There was no one up there that she wanted to walk up to. She turned to leave. Plot twist. Monica was the flower girl at my wedding. She was two years old. Nothing will be holding her back as she walks down the aisle to the man she loves.

Monica received Edgar’s profile from Coffee Meets Bagel and she was intrigued. There were pictures of him at the Colosseum in Rome which showed that just like her, he liked to travel. He had gone to USC, where she had gotten her Masters. All this and he was attractive. She clicked. He messaged.

After verifying with mutual friends that the other was not a creep, they went on their first date to Saint & Second in Belmont Shore. The moment Monica walked in, Edgar knew she was the one that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He loved that she was soft spoken, that she was intelligent and of course beautiful.

That first date included nerves, a little food, Moscow Mules and an amazing conversation. They had so much in common. They were both first generation college students. They had both grown up playing soccer. They both shared the same family values. Monica didn’t want the date to end. But the car meter’s time was up.

Monica soon knew that he was the partner she wanted. He balanced her and made her complete. Together, they were a great team, their values aligned and the bond was amazing. This was the man she wanted as a partner and a father to her children.

They went ring shopping together. Monica found the ring she loved, but it was just too expensive. They continued shopping. After 3 or 4 shopping appointments, Edgar was frustrated and confessed that he had already ordered a ring and planned to propose on the their upcoming trip to Cancun. Now, Monica would not be surprised. Leave it to a man in love to make sure a woman is happy. Edgar went to the jeweler and asked him to email him that the ring, unfortunately, would not be ready for the trip. He did. Edgar showed Monica the email and gave her and Oscar-worthy performance. She knew it would be a beautiful trip… but without a proposal.

On the third night of their vacation, they walked along the beach, as a gorgeous pink sunset draped the sky, Monica was thinking that things could not be more perfect when Edgar got down on one knee and asked Monica to be his forever. He held the original ring and her heart. Shocked and excited, Monica said, “Yes,” to the man she loved.
