Jenna & Malachi’s Wedding Portraits at Waltman Lake Lodge | Pierson, MI

Portrait Locations Around Waltman Lake Lodge

One of the biggest perks of getting married at Waltman Lake Lodge is how many beautiful portrait locations are available without ever leaving the property. This makes it especially ideal for intimate weddings or ceremony-only days where you don’t want to lose time traveling.

Here are a few portrait spots that photographed beautifully for Jenna and Malachi:

Lakeside Shoreline

The lake offers soft reflections, open space, and a calm backdrop that feels timeless in photos. This area works especially well for romantic, relaxed portraits right after the ceremony when emotions are still fresh.

Tree-Lined Paths & Woods

Surrounding the lodge are wooded areas that provide shade, texture, and privacy. These spots are perfect for couples who want portraits that feel cozy, natural, and grounded in Michigan’s landscape.

Open Green Spaces Near the Lodge

The open areas around the lodge give you clean, uncluttered backgrounds and consistent lighting. These spots are great for movement-based portraits — walking, laughing, and simply being together without feeling overly posed.

Because everything is close together, couples can move easily from one area to the next, creating a varied gallery without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
