Maddie & Kyle are two extremely adventurous people. In the past year that I've known them, they've moved cities more times than many people do their entire lives! But they had their summertime wedding back in Maddie's stomping ground at Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

I first met Maddie when doing her best friend Amanda's wedding. Maddie told me that after seeing how excited I got about my work while we were shooting, she knew that she had to have us capture her day as well. I'm so happy to have had that opportunity!

Because of their love for adventure, the entire inspiration for their wedding was nature. Their favorite activities involve hiking, backpacking, scuba diving (Maddie is a diving instructor!) and camping. Nature, being such a massive part of their lives, made it an easy choice for the central theme of their wedding.

Of course, the best place to plan a nature-inspired wedding is at a Nation Park! They chose Cuyahoga Valley National Park because it is the park that Maddie grew up visiting, and she just knew that she wanted to get married in her home park! She told us that she's "obsessed" with the park and was so happy to have her wedding there.

We're glad their wedding was there, too! It turned out absolutely gorgeous. Maddie & Kyle, it was an honor to be able to capture such a beautiful day. We hope that our work lives on in your family's memories for many years to come.
