Engaged : Karina & Tony {Claremont & Diamond Bar, CA}

If you believe in fate then you are gonna adore Tony & Karina's love story!

It all began when Tony was 3 yrs old and Karina was 6. Their older brothers were good friends and they lived right down the street from each other. Their families became great friends but after high school they slowly lost contact after Karina's family moved.  

Seven years later they were brought back together by Tony's older brother. Karina was no longer the little girl he had rode his bike with, she had grown into a gorgeous woman and he knew he had to have her -especially after she kicked his butt in air hockey during their first date. They hit it off immediately and after two months of dating they were boyfriend and girlfriend!

Tony knew that he had found his "one" and after almost two years of dating he popped the question in Miami while they were on vacation. He took her to a fancy dinner overlooking the ocean. After dinner, they walked the boardwalk along the water. Even though it was already dark, he wanted to take a picture so he asked a couple nearby to take one of them. In the middle of taking the picture, Tony drops down on one knee and proposes! Karina was in total shock, speechless, crying... then Tony says, "well will you…"
All she could do was nod her head and she finally said "yes"!

Tony and Karina are adorable together! They compliment each other perfectly! I had a blast photographing them, it was so easy because their love just naturally oozes! Scroll down and see for yourself :)

They chose to take photos at a park near their house where they used to ride their bikes as kids to go catch tadpoles in the creek. Love that they chose a sentimental location!
