Cora + Tommy’s Summer Engagement Photos at Milwaukee’s Lake Park

I absolutely loved photographing Cora and Tommy’s engagement session at Lake Park! Their sweet pittie, Nessie, joined the celebration, proudly wearing a sign that read, “My humans are getting married!” 🐾 Nessie was the star for the first part of their session, happily posing for photos with her beloved humans. Their other non-human family members will make their photo debut at the wedding, but Nessie, who prefers intimate groups, got her special moment in the spotlight this time around.

We had the most beautiful golden hour sunshine, and we had so much fun exploring the scenic trails, bridges, and lake views at Lake Park. This Milwaukee gem is truly a fantastic location for engagement photos, offering a perfect mix of natural beauty and historic charm.

It’s always wonderful when we get to combine both sides of our business in sessions like Cora and Tommy's. With our luxury dog photography brand, Buttons & Bones, we celebrate our furry friends, and through Reminisce we capture the love stories of incredible couples. Tommy loves how Cora cares for both animals and people, and he adores her intelligence + ability to learn new things, her passionate personality, and her generosity. Cora loves Tommy’s intelligence, childlike enthusiasm and fun personality, and his ability to not take things too seriously all the time. He shares her thirst for knowledge + caring about world events, by her side as they stand up for what’s right. She also loves his openness to her culture and willingness to learn (he even proposed in Turkish).

Cora and Tommy also share a love for animals and have a handful of pets at home, true members of their family. Hearing about their pets and getting to know them has been such a joy. They’re a couple who embody love, care, and a deep connection with both each other and their animal companions.

I can’t wait for their wedding next spring and to capture more of their beautiful journey together. If you're looking for engagement or wedding photography in Milwaukee or Wisconsin, especially if you want to include your pets, Lake Park is a fantastic location, and we’d love to help you capture those special moments.
