If you’re dreaming of an engagement session that feels like a lush escape without leaving the Midwest, look no further than Mitchell Park Domes in Milwaukee. As a wedding and engagement photographer passionate about natural beauty and authentic connection, this shoot with Sofia and Eric felt like stepping into a tropical fairytale—right in the heart of Wisconsin.
Sofia and Eric brought such positive vibes and love into their session. We wandered through towering palms, blooming florals, and golden desert light—it was like photographing love in three different worlds, all under one roof. Their style blended perfectly with the surroundings: soft earth tones, subtle patterns, and a laid-back elegance that let their connection shine.

A Botanical Dream in Milwaukee
Sofia + Eric's Engagement Session
The Mitchell Domes (officially known as Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory) offer three distinct environments: the Desert Dome, the Tropical Dome, and the Floral Show Dome. Each one creates a completely different aesthetic—from bold and dramatic to soft and romantic—making it an ideal backdrop for modern engagement photography in Milwaukee... One of my favorite locations for winter engagement photos in Milwaukee!
Engagement Sessions are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day, connect with each other, have fun, document your love, and connect with your Photographer. Finding a Photographer that you connect with is an absolute necessity!
Why Mitchell Park Domes is Perfect
for Engagement Photos?
- Dress in layers or breathable fabrics—it gets warm inside!
- Neutral tones or earthy colors photograph beautifully against the natural backdrop.
- Avoid overly bold patterns that might clash with the rich textures of the environment.
