A Romantic Stroll Through Lake Park | Sara & Sean’s Milwaukee Engagement Session

Sara and Sean may have grown up in different parts of New York, but their story led them right here—to Milwaukee’s East Side, where they first met and built a life together. After eight years of love and adventure, they got engaged over the 4th of July while settling into their very first home. With family arriving from New York just in time to celebrate, their engagement felt like the perfect start to this new chapter.

When they’re not working on home projects or dreaming up their wedding plans, Sara and Sean love exploring new places, listening to music, and going on long walks together. Their bond is rooted in shared adventure and supporting each other’s growth, making every moment feel like a new experience.

For their engagement session, we wandered through Milwaukee’s Lake Park, a spot that blends historic architecture with lush greenery, winding trails, and picturesque stone bridges. Golden hour gave the park a warm, romantic glow, filtering through the trees and adding a soft, golden light to their portraits. As the sun set, we leaned into the moodier side of the evening, capturing nighttime engagement photos that highlighted the park’s quiet beauty under the glow of lamplight.

Sara and Sean are just beginning their wedding planning journey, and I can’t wait to see how it all comes together. One thing is for sure—their wedding will be filled with the same joy, warmth, and adventurous spirit that defines their relationship.
