Colleen is someone I've known for a long time. We shortly after both of us moved to Tennessee. Joey, her older brother, is one of my closest friends, and their family has become my second family in Tennessee. Colleen and Britton just moved to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where Britton is pursuing his law degree.

Colleen texted me, asking if I knew of any photographers in the area, but I offered to go out there myself because it is such a gorgeous place. So Cooper and Nana, their dogs, joined them for their first session at Wildwood Park in Harrisburg, PA. They were adorable and had a great time exploring the new park. We took advantage of the beautiful sunlight, and these two pups added vibes to the moments. The couple is fun to photograph with their simplicity and authenticity.  Wildwood Park in Harrisburg proved to be an excellent location for a photo session with the light it provides perfect photographs in every way. 

Afterward, we dropped the dogs at their home, then headed to downtown Harrisburg to the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building. It is right along the river and in the historic district, so it is lovely. The State Capitol Building creates a warm glow of majesty and sophistication in the nighttime hours. This location's setting is great for a night engagement photoshoot. Couples may pose in front of the stunning stairwells or embrace the cityscape as a backdrop.  But we did it while the sun was still shining brightly, and it turned out to be fantastic. 

This engagement location has something unique and appealing around every corner.  There are no entrance fees or permits. Instead, fill out the application on the website to apply for a photo permit. They are getting married in June 2022 in Tennessee, where both of their families live.

Here are the quick facts about the amazing Wildwood Park!

The City of Harrisburg built Wildwood Lake in 1901. On the other hand, the "Wildwood Way Trail" is a well-known 3-mile loop trail that circles the lake. The Dauphin County Parks and Recreation Department owns and administers the 229-acre park. The Park is known for its 90-acre small lake, six miles of paths, and one mile of boardwalks, making it an excellent place for active individuals and nature enthusiasts. In addition, the park's critical non-profit support group, Wildwood Park Friends, works to keep the park running. Wildwood is an excellent location for getting close to nature, wildlife, and wildwood friends. A nature center that gives you special access to various wetland environments where you can watch birds, frogs, and turtles.

Wildwood Park is a popular photo site in the city, especially for exhibits, events, environmental education tours, engagement, and family shots because of its gorgeous scenery. In addition, walking together with other tourists makes it fun, and many attractions offer excellent opportunities for natural light photography and trees, trails, and other amenities.

So, for our engaged couple seeking beautiful background, Wildwood Park and State Capitol Building are guaranteed to sweep you off your feet with their enchanting elegance when the flowers are in full bloom.
