Michelle and Julio are one of those couples who’ve been together for what feels like forever, though their story wasn’t that easy.  When I met them, our entire consultation was spent reminiscing about the years it took to progress from classmates, to friends, to fiancés, I hardly even spoke–they had so much to gush about!  Well, fast forward about a year and here we are.  With their wedding just hours away, I guess it would be fitting to finally share their Manhattan Beach Pier engagement session, but might I add we started the shoot at their alma mater, CSU Dominguez Hills, also the place they met and developed their friendship.  Oh, and they also brought along their boxer puppy, Brutus!!  Scroll through and reminisce with me. 🙂

And here’s where it all began:

Michelle and Julio will be marrying at the beautiful Rancho El Toro in Corona.  I can’t wait to see the magic they come up with!  Stay tuned here and on Instagram for more sneak peeks!
