studio m engagement: stefanie & drew

They met at Long Beach State while in nursing school and quickly became the best of friends. As nursing school concluded their romance took flight and they have never looked back. Stefanie and Drew are getting married this October and we couldn't be more excited for their wedding in San Juan Capistrano. This beautiful couple headed out to Long Beach with Studio M photographer, Aaron Monroe, for their engagement session.  Stefanie and Drew live in Belmont Shore and love to ride their bikes along the Long Beach boardwalk while the sun is setting. So, after grabbing a quick drink at Belmont Brewing Company Stefanie and Drew got on their beach cruisers and rode towards Shoreline Aquatic Park where the Queen Mary provides a lovely backdrop.  Below are a few of the photos of their engagement session.

engagement: andrew & julie

Julie and Andrew are having a quick engagement with their wedding taking place this November. They met at church, and after getting to know each other over the course of a year, Andrew popped the big question. He made sure Julie's daughter Ambria was in on the whole proposal, and they even wanted to include her in their engagement session. So sweet! We spent the day at the beach in Belmont Shores in Long Beach, California playing with wind, jumping, holi powder, and getting wet in the ocean. Such a fun shoot.
