Photography Sessions

Edison Ford Photography Sessions offer the opportunity for graduating seniors, families, engaged couples, or couples getting married elsewhere to have photographs taken throughout the beautiful Edison and Ford Winter Estates gardens.

Photography clients will have access to several restricted locations during their photo session, including the Moonlight Garden, the Banyan Tree, and other “behind-the-ropes” sites. Advanced registration is required for all photography sessions.

Edison Ford does not provide the photographer, but is happy to recommend a preferred vendor.
