Summer is almost here and I am loving all of this green and time by the lake! May brings lots of things that I love and all of these amazing engagement session is definitely one of them! I love spending my afternoons with amazing people and Abbey + Andrew are definitely that!
We loved getting to know these two and their story! I am so so so jealous that Abbey spent some time in Ireland and Andrew got to visit her while she was there! Ireland is one of my must go to places! Who’s with me?!
I am so grateful that I have the most genuine and loving couples on the planet! Hearing the “how they met” and little fun facts about each other are such a joy to hear. The way their eyes light up when talking about each other… so sweet! Who better to tell their story than them! Read a little more about them and see their love in photos below!
HOW DID YOU TWO MEET?
We were both in the Cowboy Marching Band at Oklahoma State University. We met freshman year on a bus on the way to the Cotton Bowl. We actually grew up in the same area and had been to so many band contests at the same time, so I think it was just a matter of time until we met!
HOW DID HE PROPOSE?
Andrew is a huge planner! There is a pond on OSU’s campus that is really pretty and surrounded with trees and benches. He got all my friends to lie to me to get me over to the pond, and the rest is history! I couldn’t tell you anything he said to me because I was so excited I think I blacked out for a moment…. Both of our families were there afterward and it was really special. (And he picked a nice ring if I do say so myself!!)
DESCRIBE THE PERFECT DATE NIGHT.
ABBEY: This is like Andrew asking me what I want to eat…I don’t know! All of our dates are so fun, it’s hard to pick one! I love when we do a simple dinner out or when we cook a meal together. Really any time we get to spend together is my perfect date night because we are long distance right now.
ANDREW: The perfect date night would include a trip to the lake to go fishing and sitting around a campfire at night.
TELL ME SOMETHING FUN ABOUT EACH OTHER.
ABBEY: Andrew can do anything. He has so many hobbies. He could take my whole car apart and put it back together. He could build a house with his two hands. If he has the slightest interest in something, he learns everything there is to know about it…and then he remembers it all forever.
ANDREW: Abbey is amazingly smart and studying to be a physical therapist. She is also a fantastic cook!
WHAT DETAILS ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY.
ABBEY: Getting to marry him!!!! We have a pretty long engagement, so I can’t wait to finally get to marry him!! Also…have you seen these engagement pictures? I can’t wait to see how all our pictures turn out! (I can’t wait either Abbey!)
ANDREW: I’m excited for the first look of my bride-to-be in her wedding dress.
DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS OR ADVICE FOR OTHER COUPLES ABOUT HAVING ENGAGEMENT PICTURES TAKEN?
Have Cindy take them!! We had so much fun and she is so helpful with poses. We can both be pretty awkward, but Cindy helped so it looked natural and not forced. I would also suggest bringing water if it’s a hot day. (Isn’t this such a good compliment?! I have the best couples!)
