Winter Save the Date Portraits at Edsel and Eleanor Ford House | Cristina + Josh
Cristina & Josh’s Winter Save the Date
Portrait Session at the Historic Edsel & Eleanor
Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, MI
“Oh baby it’s cold outside!” is a total understatement for this winter session with Cristina and Josh! It was a crisp 24 degrees with a slight breeze coming off the lake when I met up with these two cuties at the former historic mansion of Edsel and Eleanor Ford. You would never know it from looking at these images, though, how cold it actually was because of how much fun Cristina & Josh were to photograph!
I loved having the opportunity to capture these Save the Date portraits for Cristina and Josh and to work with them for a second time after I photographed their romantic tiny wedding last year during the pandemic!
We adventured around the grounds of the Ford House together for about 30 minutes, and there were so many fun and romantic photos that it was hard to narrow it down to just these handful of my absolute favorites for this post! The Michigan weather can just be so darn unpredictable and winters here in Metro Detroit can either look like these amazing snowy memories or drab and brown (there really is no in between!). So you can imagine how excited I was that there was actually beautiful snow on the ground and glistening in the trees!!
I wish you all the very, very best Cristina and Josh and a very happy married life together!!
Love,
Courtney
I hope you enjoy some of my absolute favorite images from Cristina and Josh’s winter portrait session at the historic Edsel and Eleanor Ford House!
