As a Milwaukee-based photographer, I love living in a city that offers an abundance of stunning locations for capturing the beauty of your life. When you're looking to get professional photos done it can be challenging to decide where.... Where you take your photos can completely change the vibe and aesthetic of how they turn out. I suggest digging deep and thinking about what environment feels more YOU. However, I know a few spots that are a great place to start if you need some inspo!

BEST PHOTO SPOTS
(From a Milwaukee Photographer)
ThirdWard
The
Milwaukee’s Third Ward is one of my personal favorites due to the gorgeous historic buildings and character. If you're looking for a timeless, adventurous vibe with visual storytelling opportunities, this is for you!! Whether you're walking by the classic Milwaukee Public Market or relaxing at one of the many cafes, the mix of old-world charm and modern style offers endless possibilities.
For a unique blend of nature and city, step down to the Riverwalk for views of the Milwaukee River, with pedestrian bridges and modern sculptures that contrast beautifully with the historic architecture. This combination of natural beauty and architectural elegance makes for some unforgettable photos.
Whether you’re celebrating an engagement, anniversary, or just want to capture your love in a vibrant, beautiful setting, Milwaukee’s Third Ward is perfect for those who lean toward timeless romance, artistic flair, or urban adventure.
When you're in the mood for some fresh air and natural beauty, Atwater Beach in Shorewood is the ideal location. Located just a few miles north of downtown Milwaukee, Atwater Beach offers stunning views of Lake Michigan and is the perfect spot for carefree and nature-loving couples.
Something I love about Atwater Beach is the wide open space to run around and have fun! Whether you're spinning in each other's arms, or simply enjoying a walk together, the intimate moments are endless. It's a place where you can be yourselves, letting the beauty of nature emphasize the deep yet fun-loving connection between you.
Whether you’re drawn to the natural beauty, the open space for spontaneous moments, or the peaceful solitude that Lake Michigan offers, Atwater Beach is for you. It's the perfect setting for couples who want to celebrate their love in a place that feels open, free, and full of possibility.

For those who prefer a more rural nature experience, Glacier Hills County Park is a hidden gem just outside of the city. Featuring pine trees and a lake, this park provides a stunning experience for couples who love the outdoors and want to capture intimate, nature-filled moments.
This location feels like true Wisconsin to me! If you're someone who leans on the crunchy side or enjoys camping/hiking, this might be your vibe. From walking through the wooded trails to venturing out on the old dock, Glacier Hills provides a perfectly serene setting.
Surrounded by stunning greenery, hilly terrain and the crunchy leaves, Glacier Hills County Park provides the perfect escape from the bustle of the city. If you're a couple who treasures time spent in nature and wants your photos to reflect that peaceful, connected energy, Glacier Hills County Park could be the ideal place to capture your love story!
