Ashleigh & Jacob first met in the sixth grade. He was her very first boyfriend (for about 2 hours she joked) and years later when they were both in college at Michigan State, they reconnected and have been inseparable ever since! Jacob proposed to Ashleigh last August on top of a mountain in Banff National Park (so amazing) and they’re getting married next June at the Royal Park Hotel! We met up on Belle Isle recently to capture their engagement photos and I had such a blast with these two! They are the cutest couple the way they interact together and Ashleigh is just about the sweetest person ever!! Ashleigh wore a stunning emerald dress from Reformation and it was absolutely perfect for the location!! The style of the dress is the Juliette & the balcony at the Belle Isle Casino always reminds me of the balcony in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet! What a perfect coincidence!! After the Casino, we headed to the fountain as the sun set & Jacob popped a bottle of Veuve for them to enjoy! That champagne pop inspired so many of my recent engagement session couples to bring champagne to pop and I’ve loved capturing all of those fun moments!! Can’t wait to have these two in front of my camera again next June!!
