Spring Editorial at The War Memorial

The War Memorial, located at 32 Lake Shore Dr, Grosse Pointe Farms, MI 48236, was the perfect backdrop for this spring editorial with Styled Shoots Across America. The venue is located on the historic Italian-Renaissance inspired Alger Estate built in 1910 and is a center for educational and charitable activities for the community.

The War Memorial offers a few different options for weddings. Inside, there are two new spaces built in 2022 for events. The Community Room which holds up to 150 guests and The ballroom that holds up to 300 guests. The Ballroom’s floor to ceiling windows overlook Lake St. Claire, giving guests a unique and breathtaking view. There is also The Alger House, which can hold up to 70 guests for a reception. For ceremonies, The War Memorial offers two additional spaces outdoors, the steps of the Alger House terrace or in front of Les Braves II: At Water’s Edge.

With the editorial, the outdoors was the main focus, capturing the spring blooms in the terrace and gardens. The ceremony set up was at the steps of the Alger House, and the intimate table setting was set outside of the gardens. We also utilized the front of the Alger House for photos with Vintage Luxury Rentals.
