We have shot many portrait sessions, weddings and other events at this location. It is always a pleasure to work with the staff at the Edison & Ford Estate. The property is kept beautiful year round, its hard to take a bad photo while at this location.

Great location and staff. We first did our 1st Edison Estate wedding back in 2009 at their property and they have always been professional.
