Elegant engagement portraits at one of Michigan's most beautiful historic estates.
Rosie and Matt chose Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores for their engagement portraits, and this stunning location was the perfect backdrop for their session.
Located on the east side of Michigan along the shores of Lake St. Clair, Ford House is a historic lakeside estate once home to Eleanor and Edsel Ford. The property dates back to 1928 and was created as a place centered around family, creativity, community, and connection. Today, the expansive 87-acre estate features the beautiful ivy-covered Main Residence, historic buildings, sweeping gardens, and a modern Visitor Center with exhibitions, dining, shopping, and event spaces.
With its timeless architecture, lush gardens, and lakeside scenery, Ford House offers so many opportunities for elegant and editorial engagement portraits. It has that classic estate feel while still giving couples plenty of space to create images that feel natural and personal.
Planning an Engagement Session at Ford House?
If you're considering Ford House for your engagement portraits, it's important to plan ahead. Couples looking to have professional photography taken at the estate must request a photography time directly with the venue and pay the required photography permit fee.
The result is a beautiful setting that feels incredibly elevated and timeless, making it a wonderful option for couples looking for something a little different for their engagement session.
Rosie and Matt, it was such a pleasure capturing this special season for you both. Your wedding next year is going to be absolutely stunning, and I cannot wait to see you two down the aisle!
