detroit masonic temple wedding
art-deco inspired wedding in detroit, michigan | jenny + ryan
Jenny’s vision?
An Art Deco–inspired wedding at the historic Detroit Masonic Temple.
And let me tell you… she did not disappoint.
From her banging headpiece (yes, banging) to her vibrant blue floral pumps, she looked like she stepped straight out of another era. The kind of bride who doesn’t just wear a dress—she wears a whole point of view. And it worked so beautifully with the old-school Detroit energy and the dramatic architecture of the Masonic.
If there’s one thing I learned from Jenny, it’s this:
Embrace your style. Do your own thing.
Your wedding day is not the time to water yourself down.
Her style didn’t compete with the venue—it belonged there. The gold detailing, the moody stone, the soaring ceilings, the history layered into every wall… it all felt intentional. Like Detroit and Jenny had a little creative handshake going on.
Historic Architecture = My Love Language
The whole day felt like we were transported to another time period. (And you all know how much I love historic architecture. I will choose carved stone and dramatic staircases over a white drywall ballroom any day.)
The Masonic Temple is chalk full of history. Every hallway, every carved archway, every heavy wooden door feels like it’s guarding a story. And exploring the little nooks and crannies of this amazing city? Yes please.
I may or may not have ridden the elevator to every floor.
Shhh.
Each level has its own personality—grand ballrooms, intimate corridors, dramatic staircases that practically beg for a cinematic portrait. There are layers upon layers of Detroit history wrapped into that building. It’s giving old Hollywood meets Motown meets secret-society mystique… and I’m here for all of it.
A Masonic Temple Detroit Wedding That Feels Like a Time Capsule
If you ever have the opportunity to shoot at—or even just explore—the Masonic Temple in Detroit, do it.
It’s not just a wedding venue. It’s an experience.
For couples searching for a Masonic Temple Detroit wedding, here’s what I’d tell you:
It’s perfect for bold, style-forward couples.
It holds space for both grandeur and intimacy.
It photographs like a dream (dramatic light lovers, this is your sign).
It feels historic without feeling stuffy.
Jenny and Ryan’s day felt like a time capsule in the best way. Elegant. Intentional. Unapologetically them.
And honestly? I wish I had a million hours to wander those hallways with them—soaking in the architecture, chasing light through those historic windows, letting their energy echo off the stone walls.
Because when a couple fully leans into their vision like that…
Magic happens.
If you’re dreaming of a Detroit Masonic Temple wedding and want photos that feel like art—but a process that feels like home—I’d love to explore it with you.
Not just as your photographer.
As someone who gets why the history matters.
Why the mood matters.
Why your style matters.
Let’s create something that feels like you—in one of Detroit’s most iconic spaces.
