1,200 acres of diverse landscapes. Winding trails through tall trees, prairie meadows, Curtis Prairie in golden hour, secluded forest clearings. Romantic without trying too hard.
Olin Park / Olin Turville
Madison, WI
Best unobstructed Madison skyline view from land. Fields, paths, tall grasses, and oak groves.
Madison Central Library
Madison, WI
Clean, modern interiors. Big windows for contemporary natural-light portraits. Interesting staircases + metal/wood details.
Monona Terrace Rooftop
Madison, WI
Modern architecture + sweeping views of Lake Monona + curved lines + glass. Very clean, bright aesthetic.
Henry Vilas Beach (Lake Wingra Shore)
Madison, WI
Quiet, natural lakeshore tucked behind Vilas Park. Soft sand, willow trees, and clear sunset views. One of Madison's most underrated lakeside gems.
B.B. Clarke Beach
Madison, WI
Tucked-away neighborhood beach with wooden pier, willow canopy, and intimate feel. Looks like a Northwoods hideaway five minutes from downtown.
