Victoria & Tony's Vellano Estate Wedding Photos
March 7, 2026 · Vellano Estate, Chino Hills
A Vellano Estate Wedding Full of Family and Fun
Victoria and Tony met on Hinge and clicked right away over a shared love of soggy cereal and long-distance running. They celebrated on March 7, 2026 at Vellano Estate in Chino Hills, starting the day with a traditional tea ceremony alongside both of their families. After a first look on the estate's grand staircase, Victoria's bridesmaids in dusty rose and Tony's groomsmen filled the afternoon with laughter. They shared personal vows on the lawn, and the reception was pure fun: a first dance to Perfect with twirls and dips, a shoe game, the couple singing A Whole New World, a surprise groomsmen dance and a bouquet toss. Here is a sneak peek of their Vellano Estate wedding photos, captured by One and Only Production.

A Vellano Estate Wedding Timeline
Planning a Vellano Estate wedding in Chino Hills? Here is how Victoria and Tony's March day flowed from morning to the last dance, with the photo spots we used at each step.
12:30 PM · Tea Ceremony at Ayres Hotel
The day began with a traditional tea ceremony with both sets of parents at Ayres Hotel Chino Hills, about 15 minutes from Vellano Estate, with Victoria in a traditional qun kua and her mom combing her hair.
1:00 PM · Getting Ready
Victoria and her bridesmaids got ready in matching blush robes, with her gown hanging on the garland wrapped staircase and plenty of champagne to go around.
Planning tip: holding the tea ceremony at the hotel keeps the morning relaxed and family focused, and frees up the venue for photos once you arrive.
1:45 PM · Arrival at Vellano Estate + Details
After the short drive from the hotel, we set up the flat lay: the invitation suite, rings and blush roses from Events by Floral Sensations, while the couple settled into their suites.
Planning tip: a flat lay takes about 30 minutes, so ask your florist to deliver a few extra blooms early and leave this time in your timeline.
2:00 PM · Groom Suite + Into the Gown
Tony and his groomsmen got ready in Vellano Estate's groom suite, then headed outside under the oak trees. Upstairs, Victoria stepped into her strapless gown and cathedral veil with her sister and maid of honor by her side on the balcony.
Planning tip: getting both sides dressed at the venue keeps photo and video close to every moment, with no extra travel before the first look.
2:40 PM · First Look on the Grand Staircase + Balcony Portraits
Victoria walked down Vellano Estate's grand staircase to Tony waiting at the bottom, and his reaction said everything. Right after, we headed out to the stone terrace and the upstairs balcony, where the rolling Chino Hills make the backdrop.
Planning tip: the staircase is the signature first look spot at Vellano Estate, and the balcony is just steps away, so 20 minutes is enough for both.
3:00 PM · Bridal Party Photos
Victoria's six bridesmaids in dusty rose and Tony's six groomsmen in black tuxedos filled the next half hour with laughter, from the ceremony arch to the oak trees and the tree lined drive.
Planning tip: 15 to 20 minutes covers a full bridal party at Vellano Estate if everyone is dressed and ready by the time the first look wraps.
4:00 PM · Ceremony on the Vellano Estate Lawn
Guests arrived at 3:30 for a 4 PM ceremony on the back lawn, framed by cypress trees and a blush and white floral arch. The bridesmaids and groomsmen walked in pairs, Victoria and Tony shared personal vows alongside the vows led by their pastor, and they paused to hug each set of parents as a thank you.
Planning tip: ask your officiant to remind family to stay for photos right before the kiss, so family portraits move quickly during cocktail hour.
5:00 PM · Cocktail Hour + Golden Hour Portraits
While guests mingled downstairs, Victoria and Tony slipped out for portraits at three of our favorite Vellano Estate spots: the iron rotunda on the lawn, the path lined with tall cypress trees, and the grand front entrance.
Planning tip: in early March, sunset in Chino Hills lands around 5:50 PM, so a 4 PM ceremony puts golden hour right in the middle of cocktail hour. Doing the first look before the ceremony is what freed up this time.
6:00 PM · Reception in the Second Floor Ballroom
Guests headed upstairs to the Vellano Estate ballroom for a grand entrance, with each bridesmaid and groomsman pair dancing in before Victoria and Tony. The night kept going from there: a first dance to Perfect by Ed Sheeran, a father daughter dance, heartfelt speeches, Victoria changing into a red qipao, cake cutting, a shoe game hosted by two groomsmen, the couple singing A Whole New World, a surprise groomsmen dance to APT, and a bouquet toss before the dance floor opened.
Planning tip: the ballroom is on the second floor, so build a few minutes into your timeline for guests to move up after cocktail hour.
