Roland’s Story

It was a Sunday afternoon and we decided to go visit my mother.  I knew that it was this day that I planned to ask DeLorean to be my wife.  We set off towards my mother’s house and eventually DeLorean realized we were not going the usual way.  I then told her that I wanted to take her to Duke Gardens as I had been promising to do for awhile.  We got there and began to walk the grounds.  As we walked and took in the scenery my heart was pounding.  I had the ring and was looking for the perfect place and time to change my life forever!  Finally we came up to a beautiful waterfall and I knew this was it.  I took a deep breath pulled her close to me and told her how much I love her and couldn’t see my life without her.  I got on one knee asked her to marry me and thankfully she said yes!  

DeLorean’s Story

We planned to spend the Christmas holiday in Florida with my family, so we decided to go see his mother before we left town. On our way there I immediately noticed that he took a detour. In my mind I’m like “what is going on?!” I asked him where we were going and he said it was surprise. My mind started racing even more!!  I’d been saying I wanted to go to Duke Gardens since I moved to the area. I was actually excited once we pulled up. We walked around and I noticed that he was being more quiet as usual… I knew something was up. We saw a beautiful waterfall and I decided to take a few pictures. When I turned around my life changed forever. He asked….and I agreed to spend the rest of my life with him!

So sweet!

DeLorean and Roland are engaged and we couldn’t be more excited for them! I met with these guys on a sunny day in December at Yates Mill Pond Park near Garner, North Carolina. Thankfully the weather wasn’t too bad for a December day! I love the casual outfits that they chose for part one of their session. They looked amazing! After spending some time adventuring around the park, we headed into downtown Raleigh for the second part of their engagement session. I am a huge fan of using two locations, especially since it gives you a completely different feel and look. We can’t wait to celebrate with these guys in just a few months!
