Lucinda & Romel at Vellano Estate

August 28, 2025 · Vellano Estate, Chino Hills

A Vellano Estate Wedding in Chino Hills

Lucinda and Romel met in junior college, and they have been building a life together ever since. She is creative and passionate, he is hardworking and determined, and his little jokes keep her laughing. On August 28, 2025, they married at Vellano Estate in Chino Hills in a palette of dusty sage, gray and white. The day moved from a lawn ceremony under a floral arch, where they jumped the broom as husband and wife, to golden hour portraits on the estate grounds and a reception full of dancing. Lucinda told us she was most looking forward to the pictures. Here is their Vellano Estate wedding, photographed by One and Only Production.

The Details

Lucinda's crystal heels, pearl earrings and a hanger with her new name set the tone, while Romel's bow tie, cufflinks and cologne waited for him in the groom's suite. Her gown hung against the stone wall of the estate before the day began.

Lucinda Gets Ready

Her bridesmaids helped lace Lucinda into an off the shoulder gown with sheer sleeves. A few quiet portraits later, she slipped on her heels and was ready.

Romel and His Groomsmen

Romel dressed in a light gray suit with a little help from his groomsmen, then stepped out onto the terrace overlooking Vellano Estate. The guys gathered on the lawn for a few photos before heading to the ceremony.

Ceremony on the Lawn at Vellano Estate

Guests found their seats on the lawn as Romel walked his mom down the aisle. Lucinda followed on her dad's arm, and after the vows and rings, the two of them jumped the broom together and walked back up the aisle as husband and wife.

Golden Hour at Vellano Estate

As the sun went down over the hills, Romel twirled Lucinda along the paths and steps of the estate. Her calla lily bouquet and flowing gown caught the last warm light of the day.

Money Dance, Toasts, Cake and Dance Floor

Guests lined up for the money dance, family and friends raised a toast, and the two cut a tiered cake topped with a sparkly heart. Then the dance floor filled up and stayed that way for the rest of the night.
