Stephanie + Tyler | A Cleveland Botanical Garden Wedding

These two. Sigh. Their Cleveland Botanical Garden wedding day was just incredible. So let’s start with the first point that you’ll see immediately in the photos of their invitation: their date changed. I can’t imagine 1. having my wedding date change and 2. the reason that their date changed. You see, Stephanie and Tyler are both captains in the United States Air Force. Their original date, which would have been this weekend, August 20th, could no longer work because Tyler’s deployment got unexpectedly moved up to early July. July 3rd, to be exact. So, as they wished to be married before he left, they quickly worked to change their date to July 1st, which ended up being the most gloriously beautiful day in July, and could not have been more perfect for these two to be married.

While most weddings are already emotional, their day was something so unique and thoughtful. Their small, intimate wedding filled with family and friends was both such a joyous occasion as well as a time when Tyler could say goodbye for a little while to each person there before he left. Despite the date change making things a little hectic for the planning process, everything came together perfectly and every single detail throughout their day was perfectly laid out.

Now, let’s talk about Stephanie and Tyler in particular. These two. It is not every day that you get to see a couple interact and it just puts a ridiculous smile on your face. It’s also not every day that you feel an overwhelming honor that you get to be the photographers to document such a special, intimate day that is very much about these two. So, without further ado, I present Stephanie + Tyler’s wedding at the Cleveland Botanical Garden, which will remain one of the most sincere and beautiful days we’ve yet to photograph.
