St Irenaeus, Rancho Los Alamitos + Hotel Maya Wedding | Emeline + Ron

September 20, 2013 by D. Park Photography Leave a Comment

the love story

Emeline and Ron had worked together for the city of Los Alamitos for years without even speaking to one another, let alone singling each other out romantically. The first time they really interacted was at the City’s 50th anniversary gala: when Emeline and her co-workers walked by, Ron complimented every single one of them – except Emeline. Though at first he seemed uninterested, Ron would later admit that Emeline left him speechless, saying:

“I couldn’t speak – you took my breath away.”

the proposal

After asking her mom’s permission, Ron took Emeline on a surprise trip to San Francisco where they visited the San Francisco Botanical Garden. He took her under a giant tree and told her that because the tree was so big, no one could cut it down and they could revisit the same tree someday with their two boys.  Then, he pulled out the ring and asked her to be his wife.

the wedding 

Emeline and Ron had a beautiful pink, black, and white cherry blossom inspired wedding in honor of Ron’s Japanese heritage as well as a traditional Filipino Catholic ceremony in honor of Emeline’s heritage.

They used the pink, white, and black theme throughout every element of the wedding, even in these adorable invitations printed by Papyrus!

Pops of pink and white accented the whole wedding.

After the ceremony, they went to pay respects to Emeline’s father at Forest Lawn.

She had a special gift of flowers for her father and remembered him through a tearful prayer with their family. Incredibly tender moment.

Love the use of flowers as a theme – it was absolutely stunning to see the romantic pink petals everywhere!

Their wedding program was a beautifully designed fan, decorated with cherry blossoms.

In keeping with the flower theme, their personalized escort cards were on top of a box filled not only with delicious chocolate pieces, but also with wildflower seeds the guests could plant themselves.

Their tables were named after places they’ll visit on their romantic honeymoon in Italy.
