You know how some people just have a fantastic story about how they met?  Bickley and Andrea are one of those couples.

I met Andrea a few months ago, when we sat down to discuss her wedding photography.  We hit it off from the start and I got to meet Bickley, her other half, for the first time this weekend whilst shooting their engagement photos.  We started at the high school where they met and Andrea told me their unbelievable story.  I'll give you the Cliff Notes version:

Andrea sees cute boy, asks someone what Boy's name is.  Someone says "his name is Bic".  Andrea says, "Like the pen or the razors?", and is unsure of how to proceed without knowing the correct spelling of Boy's name.  Andrea passes Cute Boy a note addressed to [something to the effect of] Cute Boy Whose Name I Don't Fully Know, asking if he wants to hang out.  Bickley responds by asking her out, Andrea accepts his offer.  Many, many moons later, I am taking their engagement photos.

How cool is that?!  So we shot a few photos in the hallway outside the class where they met:

Then Andrea tells me how Bickley used to play baseball and how she came to every one of his games to cheer him on.

And so we took photos of the lovebirds on the field where she spent so much time investing in their future life together.  They had an idea for a photo, which I was more than happy to shoot:

As you may have guessed, they are getting married on November 18th of this year.

We then moved on to the beach to harass the surfers and take photos in the gorgeous South Florida sun:



I believe the story is that we were in Fiji for this last one... We went there just for the afternoon, just to, you know, take a photo or two, because we're cool like that.

Thank you to Bickley and Andrea for spending the day with me and for standing up to those treacherous Fiji waves for your photos!
