Moody October Cuyahoga National Park Elopement at the Ledges

A Dramatic Autumn Wedding in Ohio

Ashley & Matt’s adventure elopement at The Ritchie Ledges in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, was a beautiful combination of epic overlooks, autumn foliage, and dramatic weather. The couple originally planned to elope to the Hocking Hills with me as their photographer. But during their planning process, they realized that they wanted to have their ceremony a bit closer to home.

Rain, Adventure, and Epic Clouds

After a short and sweet ceremony with close friends and family, we headed through a magical and colorful fall forest for couples portraits. A pop-up rain storm caused us to pause and so we found some temporary shelter. After the rain stopped, we headed back out, only to discover the most incredibly dramatic sky.

  • Elizabeth was fabulous and so fun to work with for our elopement photos.
    We met at 5am to make it to the top of Craggy Pinnacle by sunrise and it was worth it. Our photos are gorgeous and I am so happy to have chosen Elizabeth to capture our wedding.
