Located just a short drive away from Detroit is the lovely Heritage Park, a 211-acre recreation area full of fantastic backdrops and textures that will make a wonderful location for your engagement shoot.
The park features many peaceful hiking and walking paths, a pond, and river beds to explore during a fun and creative session full of natural beauty. You’ll also discover many architectural elements, including the olive-green nature center nestled in trees or the Spicer house, an adorable cottage with a steeply pointed wood-shingled roof and Bavarian-style siding. You’ll find the Longacre house to be particularly gorgeous, surrounded by stonewall fence and lush gardens shaded by maple and elm trees.
To enjoy the beauty of nature itself, walk through the Serenity Garden or head up to the Rouge River Overlook for a vista of the surrounding countryside and capture the Michigan sky at sunset. Anytime of year here is sure to impress — from the fresh new greens of spring to the flashy reds and oranges of fall.
With its wide array of opportunities for unique backdrops, Heritage Park makes an excellent location for Detroit engagement photography. You’ll be inspired and leave with photos you’ll cherish forever.
