Audrey and Brian’s love story began when they were in college after moving into houses on the same street. They met at one of Audrey’s house parties and remained friends. After a few years of friendship, the stars finally aligned, and the sparks flew.  In the early days of their relationship, nights were spent discussing their future and being that their visions always aligned. There was no question that this was a ‘forever’ type of love.  Brian says he knew Audrey was the ‘one’ when he learned they both had calico cats – that was all he needed to know.

Their Engagement Session was something straight out of a novel!  A glowing sunset was dipping below the Tahoe tree line while the lovely couple frolicked in the tall yellow grass.  Tahoe Engaged Member Blanca & Brandon Photography had the most delightful time with Audrey and Brian as they celebrated their engagement, documenting their cherished memories for all time!

Brian’s plan was always to propose once he knew for certain he could provide for the love of his life and their future.  So, after receiving the offer for his dream job, he headed straight to his family’s jeweler, Forever Roxx in Incline Village.  He wanted to find a ring that was the “perfect embodiment of Audrey.”  A three stone emerald cut diamond ring with a hand-engraved platinum band was exactly what he was looking for.

On a road trip to Southern California, they reached their final stop in Manhattan Beach. Brian’s original plan was to propose after a lovely sunset dinner by the water. But when he realized that the sun set at the exact time of their dinner reservation, he pivoted last minute and decided on a walk on the beach. Brian dropped to one knee in front of a gorgeous California sunset, the perfect amuse-bouche to a delightful celebratory dinner with some nice champagne.

Though their wedding plans are put on hold due to COVID-19, Audrey and Brian plan to eventually have an intimate gathering surrounded by the ones they love most. The decision to postpone their date was not an easy one, but ultimately it boiled down to celebrating with their friends and families in a carefree environment, filled to the brim with love.

Brian and Audrey know that their special day remains a day to look forward to, whenever time permits. In the meantime, their love will never be canceled.
