Janet & Ben Engagement Session | Cuyahoga Valley National Park Engagement Photos

Oh, Fall! It’s so many of us Midwest folks’ favorite time of the year & favorite season. These Cuyahoga Valley National Park engagement photos with Janet & Ben will show you why! We live in such a beautiful area in Ohio & often take it for granted in some ways, but we try our best not to do that. We may sound like a commercial, but Ohio does have so much to offer! We’ll let these photos speak for themselves on some of that. But, of course, most of the reasons these photos are adorable & amazing have a lot to do with the fun, playful, genuine, emotional connection between Janet & Ben. They are so much fun to hang out with & we were laughing throughout their entire engagement session. cuyahoga valley national park engagement photos These two have a blast together. We’re so glad they found each other & we love their story. They both went to the same very, very small college and were even both involved with the same small theater program, but they were in different years & never officially met or hung out then. Fast forward to Ben moving back to Boston after college graduation. Then fast forward a little longer to Janet moving to Boston for graduate school. And wouldn’t you know it. . . these two met on Tinder. On their date, they figured out their previous almost-connection and then later even found large group photos from their college theater days that they were both in. I mean. . . wow! We love the way they smile and laugh together. And they love to joke, but there is also a romantic tenderness between them. Their engagement photo location they chose was perfect. And it’s very close to where they’ll get married next September- Happy Days Lodge in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. So we’ve been playing around with “harsh light” and shadows lately & we love the variety that it brings to our photo sessions & wedding days. Of course, romantic & soft light is still our favorite, but this is fun and different, too! Okay, so these two love to be adventurous & active & outdoors together. So Ben’s proposal at the most stunningly gorgeous & picturesque lake in Montana could not have been more fitting for these two! We really wish we could’ve been there to photograph the proposal because the photos they showed us of that landscape were phenomenally beautiful! cuyahoga valley national park engagement photos And this is why we love them. hahaha! I’m pretty sure we need to recreate this one on the wedding day. We love their goofiness. I’ve always said one of the ways you know you’re truly in love with someone is when you can be your goofiest, least cool, most dorky, quirky version of yourself with someone & you know not only will they not run away with a strange look on their face, but they’ll join in and laugh with you. cuyahoga valley national park engagement photos Breakfast Club! Ahhhh! Autumn & these two were made for each other.What a wonderful engagement session this was! We are so excited for the fun we’ll have celebrating these two next September!
