This may be one of my most unique how-we-met stories yet! Get ready for it…. Halie was in need of a vacuum cleaner. A vacuum cleaner! So she headed down the street to Wal-Mart—as one does—and while she was checking out the vacuums, a man from her past noticed her.

You see, Halie and Sam had met before. They actually had a middle school fling when they were just fourteen years old and lived in the same town. Their young love came to an end, and they went on their merry ways in life. They didn’t really keep in touch, and did not follow one another on social media.

But when Sam saw Halie over by the vacuums…. He was struck! He knew immediately that he needed to make a move to reach out to Halie, to reconnect; he wasn’t going to let her walk away. He got her number and they went out on a date. The timing this time around was perfect. They continued to date until September of 2016, when Sam asked Halie to be his wife.

For their engagement session, Halie and Sam made the drive from San Antonio to Austin, and it was an absolutely stunning day! It was so easy for them to simply love on each other and laugh together! I can’t wait for their wedding in May!
