I love a proposal, truly - but this almost Bachelor themed proposal was once in a lifetime.

The entire family came together to help Tevin propose to Tia. Decorating the Historical Rocky Mount Train Station (which can we take a moment to appreciate just how gorgeous it truly is) with rose petals, floating candles, balloons, and a giant Marry Me sign (which yes, Bailey’s Fine Jewelry reposted)

These two have been together for almost a decade, a true high school sweetheart story and I was so thankful that their family invited me to come out and document this event. You can see from her face she had absolutely no idea what would be waiting for her behind those doors and what would have otherwise been a dreary and rainy day.

I love capturing proposal stories in the Triangle and if you’re planning on popping the question to your significant other I want to capture it!
