SHARING OUR FAVORITE SPOTS AND PLACES WE KNOW YOU’LL LOVE
If you’ve ever been to Detroit, you know this is a city like no other. There’s no cookie-cutter downtown here, it’s totally unique and it’s the place we proudly call home. There’s a grittiness about Detroit that we love. It’s hard and edgy, but underneath its reputation and bravado lies an incredible mishmash of cultures and architecture.
It’s a city that provides the most incredible backdrops to every engagement shoot and wedding captured here. And if you’re looking for scenes and places you just won’t find in any other wedding photos, Detroit has them here for you.
SHINOLA HOTEL
Hotels can sometimes seem a little samey and like many other spaces. Beautiful, for the most part, but you’ve kind of seen it before, right? Well the Shinola Hotel, in the center of downtown Detroit, really is something special and different from anywhere else you might have seen before. It’s a modern, contemporary and artistic space and there’s something to see at every turn. And we totally get serious Wes Anderson vibes when we look at this place. How about that for a unique wedding theme, huh?

In case you hadn’t already figured it out, Henry Ford was a big name around these parts so a lot of our historical spaces, like Lovett Hall, have ties to the industrialist.

Looking at history of a different kind now, The Grosse Pointe War Memorial Association is a site that memorializes our military history and counts itself as a central community point for all Michigan residents to gather.
The site dates back to the early 1900s and the home formerly belonged to Russell A Alger, Jr., a politician and businessman. This building and its grounds are just so beautiful and classic, so if that’s a look you’re going for with your special day, you should really check this place out.
