Autumn Engagement Session at Kohler-Andrae State Park

Luxury Editorial Engagement Photography Along Lake Michigan

Austin & Chris, affectionately known as the world’s greatest dog dads, chose one of Wisconsin’s most iconic Lake Michigan locations for their portraits. Their autumn engagement session at Kohler-Andrae State Park offered sweeping dunes, textured grasses, and an expansive shoreline. The setting felt elevated yet grounded in nature.

I’m incredibly excited to share a few sweet frames from their engagement session on the beach. We photographed their session on a luminous autumn day along the Wisconsin coast. The afternoon felt quiet, intentional, and full of emotion.

An Editorial Engagement Session on the Wisconsin Coast

The Lake Michigan shoreline feels especially romantic in the fall. At Kohler-Andrae State Park, the landscape softens into muted tones of sand, sky, and water. These neutral textures allow the focus to remain on connection and movement.

Austin & Chris moved through the dunes and along the water with ease. They let moments unfold naturally. The grasses shifted in the breeze, waves rolled in behind them, and the crisp air set a calm, cinematic tone.

Couples planning Milwaukee and Madison weddings often choose this location for its timeless beauty. Kohler Andrae State Park sits just outside Milwaukee and remains easily accessible from Madison. It offers a coastal feel without leaving Wisconsin.
