Door County Photography Location Guide

When planning your photography session, selecting the perfect location is a pivotal choice that can significantly influence the outcome of your photos. The backdrop, lighting, and overall ambiance of the location all contribute to the mood and aesthetics of the images captured. I’ve taken the time to list some of my favorite local locations below. If you’re able to, I recommend visiting the location before your shoot.

Please let me know if anyone in your group has accessibility issues and I can help you choose the best location.

Ultimately, the location sets the stage for your photography session, so hopefully this location guide will aid you in your decision.

I have organized locations by town, so you can choose something nearby! Ideally, try to stay within 30 minutes drive time, OR simply stay at your property!
