Megan & Carlos {Raleigh, NC} Part I

posted December 7, 2011 in Engagements

Spring Hope, NC seems a fitting place to spend time with two beautiful, amazing souls perfect for each other. One loves numbers and tax audits as much as holiday decorating and fiction novels. The other, blends an entrepreneurial spirit and business aspirations, with love of a barbecue, guns, and most of all– quality time spent with family. Both love what they do and their passion for their craft comes through in just a few minutes of conversation.

This weekend I met up with Megan and Carlos for their engagement shoot at their home in Spring Hope, NC.

They are a perfect yin / yang of love, complete with muscles, numbers, hugs, and thoughtfulness. Together, they decorate their souls by remodeling old homes and creating a sense of place for entertaining for friends and family. They invited me to their lovely home to share… a privilege and honor to experience.
They love their cute, historic home!Earlier this year Carlos wrote a very special letter to Megan… then walked her to the mailbox to read it… The proposal letter met Megan with complete surprise and joy! They found the same letter, but this time they read it together outloud, remembering their proposal story all over again. Little slices of time and life like this remind me why I love my job so much! What a great shoot!

Stay tuned tomorrow for Part 2, photographed from a groom’s perspective, including guns, cigars, the “Man Shed” and an image inspired from the Al Pacino flick, Scarface.
