{Frankfort Engagement // Alisha + Caleb}

{frankfort, michigan // june 2020}

I actually met Alisha two years ago when I took their son’s 1st birthday photos. I was happy when they reached out to me to photograph their wedding. For their engagement photos, we started out at Pointe Betsie Lighthouse just north of Frankfort. Sadly the actual lighthouse grounds were closed but just before there was a great area with some gorgeous tall trees. We then headed down to the beach in Frankfort and got the best sunset.

I asked them how Caleb proposed. Alisha said she was completely shocked! They had talked about it for a while but thought it would never happen. Little did she know that her life was about to change. She was taking her test to get certified as a nursing assistant and Caleb texted her saying they were going out to celebrate her passing her test. They ended up meeting for a little hike through the woods by Copper Ridge behind the old State Hospital and to her surprise, at the top of the look out, he had roses everywhere and a sign asking her to marry him. When she saw it she thought it was meant for someone else and that they needed to get out of there before those people got there but then he started talking and saying all the “mushy” sweet things. He got down on one knee and asked Alisha to marry him.

Some advice from these two for future couples planning their wedding:

Don’t get too stressed out. It can be overwhelming but just try to plan things out one day at a time and everything will fall into place.

Just a little over a year until these two cuties get married and I can’t wait!
