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.
