A little bit of background info on Drew and Sarah… They are probably the two coolest, most interesting people I know. I have known Drew since my sophomore year of college, and we became close friends while we were involved in several organizations together at A&M. Drew has traveled quite a bit, doing internships in Singapore and El Salvador, building orphanages in Honduras, helping his twin brother Preston learn an accent in Scotland, and most recently spending a year building the US embassy in Beijing and then traveling around Asia for several months. Also, his senior year of college he bought a house three hours away, renovated it, and then sold it off. While in college!! Who does that?

I always knew that when Drew found the girl he was meant to be with, she would have be to be amazingly interesting and accomplished, and he would fall head over heels instantly and not be able to live without her, and from what I hear that is exactly what happened. Sarah is a modern day midwife, and has traveled the world teaching women how to safely deliver babies. She has seen the birth of over 200 new lives! Sarah’s parents own an orphanage in China, and Sarah was there helping them out with some sort of presentation or meeting that Drew just happened to be attending. Somehow Sarah managed to see through the huge beard that Drew had at the time (haha!), and they both clicked. From the stories that their friends tell me, they began spending every waking moment together, and everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before he popped the question.

As fate would have it, Drew’s family is from Dallas, and Sarah had a friend in Dallas who owns a natural birth clinic, and always wanted Sarah to move to Dallas and work with her. Talk about Fate! I am so happy to have one of my best friends back in town, and I am even more excited that he brought such a wonderful woman back with him that I can now also call my friend :)

After a three hour long missed encounter, Drew, Sarah and I were finally able to get together for a quick engagement session (part 1; another session to follow soon!). Although we intended to just get a few simple shots so they could pick one for their invitation, we ended up doing a full-out session and getting a ton of neat stuff.
