Newport Beach Engagement Photos | Briana & Peter
Some time ago Briana was invited to join some friends for a fun night out. When she left the house that evening she had no idea that that would be the night her life changed forever. That was the night she met Peter. He was a friend of a friend and as the evening went on they chatted and playfully poked fun at each other. In the days and weeks that followed Briana and Peter continued their sparring match via phone. In time this led to more meaningful conversations...

Her incredible bouquet (created by a crazy talented family friend of Gisela) gave the entire look a modern splash of color. Their playful chemistry and adoring giggles brought life to our photo shoot. Congratulations Gisela...
