At an event like that, it wasn\u2019t easy to connect with every individuals, but I am so happy we finally get to know the couple over this engagement session we have recently done at Little Corona del Mar Beach.\u00a0<\/span>\n<br><br>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This little gem in Newport Beach is a beautiful place to shoot at, especially when dogs are allowed after a certain time. My whole team was able to get down there to capture this beautiful session for Tatiana and Chris, before they tie their knot in November. Stay tuned for that upcoming post, because we will be headed to Hidden Valley Golf Club in Norco, California, to celebrate and document their special day together as they walk down the aisle.\u00a0<\/span>\n<br><br>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tatiana and Chris both wear great smiles on them, and they are a really easy going couple to shoot with. Every couple\u2019s story is unique, it is no different for these two. Their journey together may have taken some twists and turns, but it is life. We all grow to learn about ourselves and our loved ones through ways and situations that can be unexpected and unforeseeable. I can\u2019t wait to be at their wedding, and hear what their vows will be for each other!<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
