A Romantic Blue Hour Engagement in Downtown Norfolk, VA

~ Brittney & Andrew | Engaged ~

Downtown Norfolk | Norfolk, Virginia | March 15, 2025

I met up with Brittney & Andrew just in time for Golden Hour and had a romantic session during Blue Hour…. I had the pleasure to get to know them and hear all about their families and their wedding plans! They are getting married this September and I cannot wait!!! The light and the weather were absolutely perfect and I had so many favorites to share with you all!

Brittney and Andrew have a total ROM-COM type love story and I am HERE FOR IT!!!! Andrew is military and was overseas when Brittney began at the same company as him. Once he returned from deployment he was very boisterous in introducing himself and she was so taken aback by him. The following day they went on a job assignment together and Brittney got hurt on the job site! Andrew came in and saved the day and sliding in smooth later that evening with a “here’s my number in case you need anything” line. While working together they became really close. But Andrew had to go on a lengthy deployment over seas again and when he returned, Brittney was his boss. And they completely fell in love, they are inseparable.

Britteny send me this beautiful synopsis of their love story – It is much more detailed and she wrote it so lovely I wanted to share it with all of you.

While Andrew was on yet another overseas military assignment, his civilian employer brought on someone new to the company, Brittney. By the time Andrew returned home, Brittney had already become comfortable in her position and had grown accustomed to her everyday routine. Their first meeting was unplanned, yet unforgettable: Brittney was busy with paperwork when an unknown voice yelled out asking who the new person was before firmly grabbing Brittney’s hand and introducing himself as Andrew. Brittney was taken aback by Andrew’s boisterous personality, but immediately felt as if Andrew was happy to have her as part of the team. 

The following day, Andrew and Brittney worked their first off-site job as a team. Before their first job together was completed, Brittney received her first, of what would become many, injuries on the job site. Without hesitation, Andrew was right there by Brittney’s side, helping her and convincing her to call it a day, despite Brittney’s protests. Once Andrew drove Brittney back to the office, he cleaned and bandaged her wounds, before casually saying, “Let me give you my number in case you need anything else.” It was smooth, but genuine, and it worked. 

From that point on, Andrew and Brittney became an inseparable team. The two spent many long days and weekends working side by side, and Andrew always looked out for Brittney, often times finding himself gently holding Brittney’s hand as he removed one splinter after another. On the toughest 16+ hour shifts, Andrew would show up with a cooler packed full of food and drinks, always bringing plenty of extras, just in case Brittney needed some.

As Andrew and Brittney’s bond continued to grow, Andrew had to leave for (you guessed it) another military assignment, departing for nearly seven months. When Andrew returned, a lot had changed, not only had Brittney earned a well-deserved promotion in his absence (assuming the role of Andrew’s boss), but both Andrew and Brittney began looking at each other in a new manner. Andrew and Brittney often found themselves expressing their pride in the accomplishments of the other during their time apart. 

Over the following months, Andrew and Brittney’s bond grew stronger than ever. Despite continuing to work long days and weekends, Andrew and Brittney began finding time to build an equally strong personal relationship outside of work. What began as a partnership on the clock had quietly become something much greater. Before either of them knew it, Andrew and Brittney were more than just teammates, they were hopelessly in love.
