Sam and Marisol met me in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, for their engagement session at the stunning Kohler-Andrae State Park—one of my favorite locations for Wisconsin engagement photos. We timed their session perfectly for golden hour, when the light is soft, warm, and incredibly flattering. The sun dipped low over Lake Michigan, creating that dreamy glow that makes engagement sessions feel effortless and romantic.
Their outfit choices were spot on and photographed beautifully. Sam and Marisol chose neutral, timeless tones that complemented one another without overpowering the scenery. Neutral colors are always a great choice for engagement sessions because they allow the focus to stay on connection, emotion, and movement—while still creating a cohesive, elevated look. Their styling blended seamlessly with the natural textures of the beach, dunes, and trees, giving their images a classic feel they’ll love for years to come.
We began their session by climbing the sand dunes, where sweeping views and golden light surrounded us. The elevated landscape allowed the sun to wrap around them, creating soft highlights and glowing skin tones. From there, we moved onto the wooden boardwalk, whose warm textures and clean lines added depth and variety to their gallery. Next, we wandered into the birch trees, where the white trunks popped beautifully against the greenery one of the most unique backdrops Kohler-Andrae offers.
To finish the session, we made our way down to the shoreline of Lake Michigan. The water shimmered in the fading sunlight, creating a romantic and peaceful end to their engagement session. This is one of the reasons I love beach engagement sessions in Wisconsin, within one location, you get an incredible mix of scenery that feels both adventurous and intimate.
Throughout the entire session, Sam and Marisol were completely at ease with one another. Their laughter, natural connection, and joyful energy made capturing their love story effortless. Moments like these are what I strive to document as a Wisconsin wedding photographer, authentic, meaningful, and full of life.
If you’re searching for a Wisconsin engagement session location that offers variety, natural beauty, and breathtaking views, Kohler-Andrae State Park in Sheboygan is an incredible choice. Sam and Marisol’s session is a beautiful reminder of how powerful it can be to slow down, explore nature, and simply be present together.
