Experiencing a Tenney Park Engagement feels like being surrounded by the perfect mix of nature, gentle water, and endless open skies. Set along the shores of Lake Mendota in Madison, Wisconsin, this peaceful park feels like a quiet escape even though it is only minutes from downtown. With its graceful walking bridges, golden trees, and stunning lakeside views, it offers a calm and romantic backdrop for engagement photos. Couples love its versatility, and as photographers, we are inspired by how the evening light dances across the water, creating soft tones and dreamy reflections that make every photo feel timeless.
Danielle and Russell met in Madison in 2021, and from the start, their shared love of the outdoors brought them closer together. They’ve spent countless weekends hiking mountain trails, kayaking on lakes, and traveling to breathtaking destinations like the Canadian Rockies, Montana, and Colorado. Their engagement story is just as adventurous. While hiking in Sedona, Arizona, surrounded by red rocks and endless skies, Russell proposed. It was a perfect moment for a couple whose story has always been connected to nature and adventure.
Their engagement session at Tenney Park felt relaxed, joyful, and full of laughter. The soft autumn light made every photo glow with warmth, and the park’s lakeside paths gave them plenty of space to simply be themselves. From playful moments under the trees to quiet embraces by the water, their connection was effortless. Our team had a wonderful time capturing their chemistry and the natural beauty of the setting.
