Rich & Alana's Sleepy Hollow Lighthouse Proposal



Rich and Alana’s engagement story is a beautiful blend of romance and the charm of a historic setting. After a day of immersing themselves in the Halloween festivities in the famously spooky town of Sleepy Hollow, NY, Rich had a very special surprise planned for Alana. The couple spent the day enjoying the lively atmosphere, surrounded by the magic of the season. But as the sun began to set, Rich took Alana on a peaceful walk along the Hudson River, leading her to the iconic Sleepy Hollow Lighthouse.


The setting was nothing short of magical. The waters of the Hudson reflected the fading daylight, and the lighthouse stood as a timeless symbol of love and guidance. Rich turned to Alana and asked her to spend forever with him. Alana said "yes," and the moment was sealed under the watchful light of the lighthouse.

After Alana and Rich had a minute to let this monumental moment sink in, we set off on a little 'just engaged' photoshoot along the Hudson.
