Lucas and Lizzie’s dreamy Milwaukee engagement session was such a treat. These two have lived in Chicago together for several years, but their story began in (my hometown) Milwaukee! Of course, we thought – what better place to take their engagement photos? We made the trek one Friday in early December, and it was one of those gorgeous, 50+ degree days. Although the day seemed to be perfect on its own – these two really made their session what it was.

Lakefront Brewery Engagement

We met at Lakefront Brewery (one of our mutual favorite Milwaukee spots) and even got to explore downstairs in the actual brewery! Shout out to Mike at the brewery for making this possible! Lizzie really wanted an industrial vibe for their photos, and the iconic marsupial bridge was our answer. Honestly, every time I visit my hometown I miss it more and more.

Downtown Milwaukee Engagement Photos

After beers, we made our way to the Historic Third Ward for some good old nostalgia (and more photos, of course!). But – our session didn’t feel complete without stopping by the Milwaukee Art Museum. Lucky us, we arrived at the Calatrava just in time for the most colorful sunset! Lizzie and Lucas were such troopers – even though it was getting chilly, we were still able to make some magic. My favorite thing about photographing these two: they never once stopped smiling.

Lizzie and Lucas: I’m so happy we were able to have your engagement session in Milwaukee! You two were a blast to photograph – already getting excited for your Chicago wedding next fall 🙂
