It all started in February 2020, when Brandon and Camille met for their first date in sunny Phoenix, AZ. What began as a casual evening of pizza and bar hopping quickly turned into the start of their lifelong adventure together.

Camille knew Brandon was a keeper by their second date. Why? Because Miss Lilly—usually the epitome of a cautious pup—walked right up to him, no treats necessary, ready to start their walk. (If Lilly likes you, you’re in.)

As the world was thrown into chaos by the pandemic, Brandon found himself unofficially moving into Camille’s condo at 1 Lexington. They spent lockdown together, navigating work-from-home life, and, of course, teaching Lilly a few new tricks. Between Zoom calls with Camille’s kindergartners and Brandon managing catastrophic weather claims, they figured out how to live, laugh, and love in their new reality.

Brandon didn’t waste any time—by just a few months into their relationship, he took Camille to Spokane to meet his family. And while they were still relatively new in their romance, Brandon knew right away that Camille was the one.

The summer of 2021 brought another big adventure—an unforgettable trip to Alaska for a family reunion on Camille’s side. They spent the days fishing, crab hunting, and later, feasting on the delicious catch back in Spokane. (There’s nothing like fresh fish with family!)

After three wonderful years in Arizona, the couple took the plunge and, in the summer of 2024, packed up their lives to make the long journey to Mead, WA. There, they bought their first home and began their next chapter.

Now, they’re busy settling into their cozy home—Camille teaching first grade at Colbert Elementary (Brandon’s alma mater!) and Brandon continuing his work with Farmers Insurance, traveling to help those in need. And of course, Lilly has embraced her new snowy surroundings like a pro, trading in the desert for snow-covered adventures.

As they look ahead, Brandon and Camille are beyond excited to take their next big step together as husband and wife. They can’t wait to see what the future holds, with each other by their side.
