How we photograph and film a wedding at Lambeau Field
Our approach is the same at every venue: two of us (or more for photo and video together), documentary coverage of the ceremony, toasts and dance floor, directed portraits only when the light is worth it, and a timeline built backwards from sunset. What changes is the plan for the building.
- Light. The Atrium glass and Harlan Plaza face east off Oneida Street while the field runs north-south, so plaza portraits are front-lit in the morning and in soft shade late in the day; the Titletown side to the west catches the sunset. We schedule couple portraits for the last hour before sunset and tell you in advance where we will take you.
- Rain plan. All principal wedding spaces are indoors; outdoor decks and Tailgate Village events have indoor rooms as backup, and one reviewer planned an outdoor ceremony with an indoor room on hold. We photograph the backup space during our walkthrough so the plan B images are as considered as plan A.
- Policies. No published preferred-photographer list, certificate-of-insurance requirement or drone rules; stadium field and bowl access for photos is not advertised for weddings and must be confirmed with Lambeau Field Events at 920-569-7515 (drones over an NFL stadium are federally restricted on game days). We confirm the venue’s photography, drone and vendor requirements in writing before the wedding and provide a certificate of insurance when one is required.
- Timing. No published curfew or music end time; confirm with the events team. Coverage is planned to end with the last dances rather than the venue’s closing time.
For video we run two camera angles plus a locked-off wide on the ceremony, lavalier microphones on the officiant and groom, and a direct feed from the DJ for toasts. Aerials are included where the venue and airspace allow; see our guide to drone video at Wisconsin weddings.
Portrait spots
On site
- Harlan Plaza statues — Bronze statues of Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi on the plaza outside the Atrium; iconic couple frame with the stadium’s brick and green steel behind, best early or on overcast days when the plaza glass is not blowing out.
- Atrium four-story glass wall — Interior portraits against the window wall with the Packers Hall of Fame and Pro Shop entries; backlit silhouettes at midday, balanced ambient at dusk.
- North Balcony rail overlooking the Atrium — Elevated vantage for a top-down bridal party frame and for the couple with the Atrium volume falling away behind them.
- Stadium bowl and tunnel — Field-level and tunnel photos are a common request but field access for weddings is not published; arrange through the events team in advance and expect a stadium tour add-on.
- Stadium exterior at Lombardi Avenue — Classic wide of the Lambeau Field sign and facade from the Lombardi Avenue side; evening light rakes across the brick from the west.
Within a short drive
- Titletown District (Green Bay) — Directly west across Ridge Road; Ariens Hill, the plaza, Lodge Kohler and Hinterland Brewery for walkable urban-park frames and hotel getting-ready rooms.
- Green Bay Botanical Garden (Green Bay) — About 10 minutes northwest; 47-acre public garden with formal and woodland rooms, photo sessions by permit.
- CityDeck and Fox River downtown (Green Bay) — About 10 minutes northeast; riverfront boardwalk, bridges and brick downtown streets for an urban contrast.
Thirty to forty-five minutes of portrait time across the day is enough; we split it between a longer session before or after the ceremony and ten minutes at golden hour.
Logistics and planning notes
- Vendor policy: Event catering and bar are exclusive through Delaware North’s Lambeau Field catering team with custom menus; WeddingWire lists a site fee starting at $1,500 that includes bridal suite, tables, chairs, china, linens, lighting/sound, setup and parking, with bar service from $16 per person.
- Permit or photo policy: No published preferred-photographer list, certificate-of-insurance requirement or drone rules; stadium field and bowl access for photos is not advertised for weddings and must be confirmed with Lambeau Field Events at 920-569-7515 (drones over an NFL stadium are federally restricted on game days).
- Parking: Parking in the stadium lots is included with the event, per WeddingWire; vendor load-in is through the stadium loading dock, which reviewers describe staff using with carts.
- Rain plan: All principal wedding spaces are indoors; outdoor decks and Tailgate Village events have indoor rooms as backup, and one reviewer planned an outdoor ceremony with an indoor room on hold.
- Sunset/orientation: The Atrium glass and Harlan Plaza face east off Oneida Street while the field runs north-south, so plaza portraits are front-lit in the morning and in soft shade late in the day; the Titletown side to the west catches the sunset.
- Noise/curfew: No published curfew or music end time; confirm with the events team.
- Seasonality: WeddingWire lists peak season as May through December and off-peak January through April; Saturday availability is limited by the Packers home schedule and stadium events, so confirm dates against the NFL calendar.
- Lodging: No on-site hotel; Lodge Kohler in the Titletown District is directly west of the stadium and most couples block rooms there or along Lombardi Avenue.
