When they went on their first date, they laughed and smiled the entire night. At the end of the meal, their waiter looked at them and insisted they'd be married one day. The laughed it off and walked out of the restaurant onto Melrose Avenue under a darkened sky. They'd met a few months earlier as friends, but kept their distance. It wasn't until Corey ran into Kathryn again that they knew they shared a special connection.

Corey asked her out and they agreed to dine at Franco, which led to an unforgettable evening…which led to unforgettable years together. It was no surprise when Kahryn said yes!!! to Corey's marriage proposal in front of the Eiffel Tower, with Paris lights twinkling in the background.

As they plan to wed next month, they planned a beach engagement session in Newport Beach, at Crystal Cove. I was thrilled to spend more time with this amazing couple and I can't wait to document their first day as husband and wife soon!

Corey and Kathryn are the type of couple who can light up a room with their love…

Kathryn, you are seriously and unfathomably beautiful…

In case you're wondering, yes, Corey has Kathryn's name tattoo'd on his left foot…

In a matter of seconds, Kathryn can do something that makes Corey sit in awe of her beauty, grace, and tease! 😉

Some blog readers might remember Kathryn and Corey from my 30 Day Photography Bootcamp…I was lucky enough to record the first time we met at my studio for a consultation. As nerve-wrecking as that experience was, it helped a lot of photographers see how I conduct my client meetings…they were such great sports about it and I'm SO lucky to have them as clients!

I mean, just look at them…their loves glows!

Working with Corey and Kathryn has been extra awesome because Jayme Vainer of A Good Affair has been in control of planning…can't wait to see what her team dreams up for decor!

This couple makes a sandy beach look sultry…

In a matter of mere seconds, Corey can bring out the best laugh in Kathryn…as seen here…

…and here…

I'll end on this happy note…a slightly foggy sunset…a pink sky…and the Pacific coast. What couple needs more?

Happy Monday!
