But the love story behind Amanda and Brandon&#8217;s engagement? That\u2019s even sweeter.<\/p>\n<p>Little did small-town Canadian girl Amanda know she\u2019d end up with native Houstonian Brandon, all those afternoons she spent daydreaming on the shore of tiny Nipper\u2019s Harbour, Newfoundland. But when Amanda, all grown up, with a degree in mechanical engineering, moved to Houston where several of her friends had put down roots, she couldn\u2019t help but notice that cutie at the bar, the one wearing Chuck Taylors\u2014just like the ones she was wearing! Sure, they got to talking, and even shared a smooch. But it wasn\u2019t until the next night, when she ended up at the same bar to watch college football with friends, and happened to hear a familiar voice call out, \u201cAmanda Newfoundland!\u201d that she knew something special was happening. Over the next few months, through long chats and ping-pong games (she won), and despite her heading offshore for a job, and his shoulder surgery, the two fell in love. Hard.<\/p>\n<p>Then came the day when Amanda walked into the living room to see Brandon down on one knee with a little blue box (\u201cwhich we all know means Tiffany\u2019s!\u201d she says). For their engagement\u2014for which their parents joined them for a few adorable pics\u2014the couple did a \u201cfun and flirty photo shoot\u201d in different parts of downtown Houston. \u201cBrandon was the best, through all my girly ideas,\u201d which included cotton candy, a tea party and tons of vintage styling, Amanda says. Through all the darling costumes, great settings and cool props, you can see this couple\u2019s deep, sincere adoration for each other in every shot. Beautiful work, Rachel. And happiest wishes, Amanda and Brandon!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel1.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage Tea Party Engagement Shoot by Rachel Robinson\" width=\"660\" height=\"811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel1.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel1-244x300.jpg 244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3820\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel2.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage Tea Party Engagement Shoot by Rachel Robinson\" width=\"660\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel2.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel2-300x161.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3821\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel3.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage Tea Party Engagement Shoot by Rachel Robinson\" width=\"660\" height=\"541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel3.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel3-300x245.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3822\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel4.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage Tea Party Engagement Shoot by Rachel Robinson\" width=\"660\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel4.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel4-300x235.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3823\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel5.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage Tea Party Engagement Shoot by Rachel Robinson\" width=\"660\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel5.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel5-300x161.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3824\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel6.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage Tea Party Engagement Shoot by Rachel Robinson\" width=\"660\" height=\"811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel6.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel6-244x300.jpg 244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3825\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel7.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage Tea Party Engagement Shoot by Rachel Robinson\" width=\"660\" height=\"811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel7.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/rachel7-244x300.jpg 244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/> Photos: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/Professionals\/wedding_photography\/rachel_robinson_photography.aspx\">Rachel Robinson Photography<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This retro-adorable engagement shoot from oh-so-talented Rachel Robinson is one of the sweetest we\u2019ve seen.
