Corey and Kodi celebrated their engagement with a photo session at California’s Mount Laguna. The pair smiled the whole way through the freezing December air, their love and excitement keeping them warm.

The session began at Lake Cuyamaca before the couple ventured further up the mountain. Photographer Samantha Phillips, who has known Corey for twelve years, said the day “was filled with so many laughs, beautiful views and so much love!”
