I’m wondering if they have two completely different versions of this story.  I’ve never asked Brian what his take is on how he and Andrea began dating, but from the sounds of Andrea’s version of the story… he was pretty smitten by her at first glance.

Andrea was working as a waitress.  Unbeknownst to her, one of her co-workers had a friend coming into the restaurant that day.  But oddly enough, when Brian came into the restaurant, he was seated in Andrea’s section of the restaurant, not in his friend’s section.  I’m not sure if something fishy was already going on, but it definitely seems weird to me that Brian knew exactly when Andrea was working, and possibly he even knew enough to ask for her section instead of his friends’… or maybe it was just pure chance, but I think that I need to get the scoop from Brian to figure out that end of the story.  But anyhow… Brian immediately struck up conversation with Andrea, but when he asked her for his phone number, she shut him down.  She claims that he seemed like he was trouble.  I’m willing to bet that she couldn’t stop thinking about him the rest of that week, though.  Luckily for her, Brian isn’t the type of guy to shy away from a challenge.  He was persistent.

He came to the restaurant again, and the outcome was the same.  She shut him down again.

The third time was a charm for Brian, and it seems that Andrea has benefitted from Brian’s persistence, too.

Brian and Andrea are set to be married at Mandarin Oriental next February, and I could not be more stoked to document their wedding day.  Scheme Events will be on hand to make sure that everything is dazzling and running smoothly, and the team from Your Beauty Call will start off the day by glamming up Andrea and her girls!

The love birds came to Vegas for a little bit of business and a little bit of wedding-planning-fun a few months ago!  Andrea was right on point when she decided to get her hair and makeup trial done before we headed out for their engagement session!  …and boy… did they turn it out for a romantic, and luminescent set of photos as we toured a small section of the Las Vegas Strip!

Oh, and by the way… they’re STUNNING!!!

I love the choices that Andrea made for their wardrobe!  She sent photos to me often, and really made sure that she was making decisions that made her feel beautiful, but that would also look gorgeous in front of a camera… and when the photo below happened… with the tiny bit of light flare bouncing off the sparkle in her dress… I might have squealed.

The photo below.  Really, Andrea?  Now you’re just showing off.  {{wink}}
