Brian and Christina – Newport Beach Engagement Photography

Time for something new.  I took Christina and Brian’s engagement photos last week in Corona Del Mar.  I love the colorful downtown and of course the beach at sunset ain’t bad either.  Here are some engagement tips with visual aids as well :).

10 Secrets to a happy engagement…

1.) Learn to see eye to eye.

2.) Kiss in such a way you get shivers down your spine.

Here are my favorites from a wedding a few months ago in Santa Monica.  The ceremony was at Shutters, and the reception was at Casa Del Mar.  Amazing Venues!  I had the honor to shoot alongside the famed Robert Evans again, too.  Enjoy!

They had both a Rabbi and a Pastor.  Very unique and true to both traditions!

They also had by far the most interesting ring bearer I’ve ever seen – a real hollywood R2-D2 Replica!
