Hidden Gem Photo Spots at Union 12
When couples start searching for a Fort Wayne wedding venue, they often dream of a space that’s not only beautiful but offers unforgettable photo opportunities. At Union 12, we’re proud to offer both. Tucked just outside the city, our venue blends modern charm with natural beauty—and scattered throughout the property are photo spots you won’t find anywhere else.
Here are some of our favorite hidden gem locations at Union 12 that make your wedding album truly one of a kind:
1. The Tall Grass Pathway
Just beyond the main event space and back porch, our tall grass pathway offers a soft, romantic backdrop that changes with the seasons. It’s perfect for those quiet first looks or candid shots that feel straight out of a fairytale.
2. The Men’s Restroom (Yes, Really!)
Hear us out—our men's restroom has become an unexpected favorite among photographers. With its sleek black walls, clean lines, and cool industrial feel, it’s a go-to spot for edgy, editorial-style photos. It’s different, it’s bold, and couples love it.
3. The Front Tree Line
This row of pine trees along the front of the property offers a peaceful, evergreen backdrop that works beautifully for portraits and group shots. With their year-round greenery and natural symmetry, these trees add a timeless, woodsy charm to your photo gallery.
4. The White Building with the Black Garage Door and Steps
This charming second structure (Building #2) adds even more variety to your photo gallery. The crisp white exterior, bold black garage door, and staircase offer a fresh, minimalist vibe perfect for portraits, bridal party photos, or even your first look. It’s simple, stylish, and surprisingly versatile.
5. Rowboat on the Pond
One of our most romantic hidden gems? The pond—and even better, the rowboat. Hop in for a quiet, serene moment together (with your photographer close by, of course). The water, the reflections, and the setting all create truly timeless photos that feel like a scene from a movie.
