Belle Isle
The river, the skyline across the water, the conservatory, and golden-hour lawns — Detroit's most-loved engagement backdrop, minutes from downtown.
Edsel & Eleanor Ford House
Lakeside grounds and Cotswold-style architecture in Grosse Pointe Shores — a grand, storybook setting for a dressed-up session.

We don't charge by the hour
Shoot until golden hour fades. Change outfits. Move from the river to the conservatory. The time is yours — you pay only for the finished images you love, never for the clock. You could shoot for three hours and buy a single portrait for $299. There is no session fee and no minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do engagement photos cost in Detroit?
On location—Belle Isle, the riverfront, the Ford House grounds, or the spot where you got engaged—it is $299 for the first finished image and $149 for each additional. In the studio at the Bagley Mansion it is $149 for the first image and $99 for each additional. You pay for the images you keep; no packages, no session fee, no minimum — you can shoot for three hours and keep a single image.
What are the best locations for engagement photos in Detroit?
The two locations you can see full sessions from are Belle Isle and the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House — both galleries are on this page. Couples also ask about the Detroit Riverwalk, Eastern Market, the Guardian Building lobby, and our own Bagley Mansion studio, and we're happy to help you choose a spot that fits your story.
What's the best time of year for engagement photos?
Every season has its charm! Spring brings cherry blossoms at Belle Isle, summer offers golden hour sessions along the river, fall delivers gorgeous foliage, and winter creates a cozy, intimate feel. We recommend golden hour (1-2 hours before sunset) for the most flattering light.
What should we wear to our engagement session?
We recommend 2-3 outfits that complement each other without being matchy-matchy. Think dressy for the first look, then casual for a second vibe. Avoid logos and busy patterns. We provide a style guide when you book and are happy to help with outfit selection.
How many photos will we receive?
You choose the images we finish — each one individually hand-retouched. During the session you see every frame on the camera, and afterward you pick the shots you love for save-the-dates, your announcement, and your wedding website. There is no session fee and no package: $299 for the first finished image on location and $149 for each additional, and you pay after you have seen them. Finished images are delivered within 48 hours, with same-day sneak peeks available.
