When it comes to finding photography locations in Toronto, you need to remember that not all locations are ideal for every client. While you certainly will want to choose a location that you feel is beautiful, you also need to choose a photography location in Toronto that will fit everyone that you plan on having there (this includes a wedding party) and meet your expectations around weather-proofing! Many of the photography locations below are exclusively outdoors without an option for rain, so do your research wisely!

Central & Downtown Toronto

Downtown Yorkville

• Address: roughly bounded by Bloor Street to the south, Davenport Road to the north, Yonge Street to the east and Avenue Road to the west
• Good for rainy days? Not particularly – a few areas that are covered but mostly open air
• Suitable for large groups? No (Best for just the bride and groom and maybe a smaller wedding party)
• Permit Required? No
• Best time to shoot there: Early Morning/Late Afternoon – weekdays
• Special Notes: Yorkville is a phenomenal photography location in Toronto if you’re looking for night time engagement or night time wedding photos.

Osgoode Hall

• Address: 130 Queen St. West
• Description: Romantic | Architectural | Historical
• Good for Rainy Days? Not particularly – there is a wee bit of coverage under arches but it’s mostly outdoor.
• Suitable for large groups? Yes (A great place for family photos)
• Permit Required? No – but it is outdoor only with no exceptions
• Best time to shoot there: Early Morning/Late Afternoon

Guildwood Park (aka Guild Inn Gardens)

• Address: 201 Guildwood Pkwy
• Description: Architectural | Historical | Natural | Gardens & Greenery
• Good for Rainy Days? No, it’s primarily outdoors unless you’re having your whole wedding there (some covered/indoor options for portraits then)
• Suitable for large groups? Yes (A great place for outdoor family photos)
• Permit Required? Yes
• Best time to shoot there: Early Morning/Late Afternoon, during the week. It’s exceptionally busy on weekends.

Front Street & the Esplanade

• Address: Front Street & The Esplanade
• Description: Modern, City vibes
• Good for Rainy Days? No, outdoor only with only a few spots of rain coverage that aren’t enough for a whole session
• Suitable for large groups? No (Best for just the couple or a couple and a really small wedding party)
• Permit Required? No
• Best time to shoot there: Early Morning (like, SUNRISE early!)
• Why this is one of the best photography locations in Toronto: I love that within a 10 minute walk you can find a variety of colours, textures and history landmarks. It’s fun and versatile and perfect for a couple who is looking for fun city vibes to their photos.

High Park

• Address: 1873 Bloor St. West
• Description: Traditional | Natural | Gardens & Greenery
• Good for Rainy Days? No, exclusively outdoor
• Suitable for large groups? Surprisingly – no… keep reading to understand why
• Permit Required? Photography permits are not available for High Park as they do not allow formal photography to occur on park grounds so weddings are out of the question. Some people can get away with engagement photos or family photos there if you don’t have ab obstructive setup with your gear.
• Best time to shoot there: Sunset… only if the locational is exceptionally meaningful to you.
• Why I think High Park isn’t a great choice for photography locations in Toronto: High Park really doesn’t look that different from other parks. It’s various greenery for the most part. Getting in and out of High Park is always a chore because the parking situation isn’t great. While the Cherry Blossoms at High Park can be beautiful, High Park becomes an absolute zoo during Cherry Blossom season and not only is accessing the park difficult but it’s nearly impossible to get a clear shot where there aren’t people in the background of your photo. If you absolutely insist on Cherry Blossom photos in High Park, do it at sunrise – it will make the whole experience so much more enjoyable and make your photos so much better.

Casa Loma

• Address: 1 Austin Terrance
• Description: Modern | Romantic | Architectural | Historical | Unique
• Good for Rainy Days? Only if you’re having your whole wedding there! Otherwise it’s outdoors only. There’s some covered area at the front of the castle though.
• Suitable for large groups? Yes
• Permit Required? Yes
• Best time to shoot there: If you’re outside only, sunrise or sunset. If you’re indoors, any time!

Distillery District

• Address: 55 Mill St.
• Description: Modern | Romantic | Architectural | Historical | Unique | Tourist Attraction
• Good for Raindy Days? Nope – not at all. It’s outdoor only and has next to no rain coverage.
• Suitable for large groups? Not particularly; perhaps if you have a small wedding party with you but I would not recommend for family photos
• Permit Required? Yes (and they check, so don’t think you can get away without one!)
• Best time to shoot there: Early Morning/Late Afternoon on weekdays
• Why I don’t necessarily love the Distillery District as a popular photography locations in Toronto: I have a love/hate relationship with the Distillery District and it’s been over a decade in the making. When I first started shooting weddings (13+ years ago) the Distillery District looked very different. There were no giant pieces of artwork in the middle of the main area, there were no food trucks, no pop-ups and very few weekly festivals. Now, the Distillery District is filled with pop-up businesses and bulky artwork and it’s lost a lot of that historic charm. Not to mention, outside of the pandemic times, the Distillery District often has festivals going on during the weekends which make otherwise accessible spots for photos not inaccessible. It’s crazy busy on weekends, especially during the summer, and there’s literally no option for rainy day backup plans. So if the Distillery District is truly meaningful to you, I support you in choosing a location that has emotion associated with it and we’ll rock it (with the understanding that if it rains, you’re going to be going the umbrella route!) If you don’t have a particularly tight emotional tie to the Distillery District, though, I do not recommend it as a location for photos.

Union Station

• Address: 65 Front St. West
• Description: Architectural | Historical
• Good for Rainy Days? No – it’s primarily outdoors. You can get a permit for indoors but it’s busy and the lighting isn’t great
• Suitable for large groups? No
• Permit Required? Yes, for indoors. Outdoors – no.
• Best time to shoot there: Good luck with that one – it’s Union station, one of the busiest places in the city! Unless you’re shooting in the early spring or late fall when the weather isn’t great (so the tourists aren’t out) you just need to take a chance on what the crowd will be like.

Cherry Beach

• Address: Located on the south end of Cherry St.
• Description: Natural, Waterfront, Beach
• Good for Rainy Days? No, it’s exclusively outdoor
• Suitable for large groups? Yes (A great place for family photos)
• Permit Required? No
• Best time to shoot there: Sunrise or Sunset during the week. There are often very large crowds there during the weekends and in the evenings all summer, so keep that in mind!

Artscape Wychwood Barns

Steamwhistle Brewery

• Address: 255 Bremner Blvd
• Description: Modern | Architectural | Unique | Historic
• Good for Raindy Days? No, it’s primarily outdoors unless your whole wedding is there (and even then, indoor is quite dark and not ideal for portraits)
• Suitable for large groups? Yes
• Permit Required? Yes
• Best time to shoot there: As close to sunset (or sunrise) as possible and ideally not on weekends unless you have no other choice. Roundhouse park can get very busy.

University of Toronto: Trinity College

• Address: 6 Hoskin Ave
• Description: Romantic | Architectural | Historical | Traditional
• Good for a Rainy Day? Yes – if you’re having your ceremony there. Otherwise, outdoor only.
• Suitable for large groups? Yes
• Permit Required? Yes
• Best time to shoot there: If you’re indoors, mid-day is fabulous as lots of light will be let into the chapel; for outdoors, later in the afternoon is best to help find shaded spaces
• Why I love Trinity College as one of the best wedding photography locations in Toronto: The big perk of having photos at Trinity College is getting inside the Chapel. This often can’t be done unless your ceremony is there as well, though. Ceremonies at Trinity College are breathtakingly beautiful and unlike any other ceremony location in the city. In my opinion, Trinity College is one of the best photography locations in Toronto if you’re also allowed indoors. Without being allowed indoors, into the chapel, the outdoors just looks like any other part of the U of T campus.

University of Toronto: Hart House

• Address: 7 Hart House Circle
• Description: Romantic | Architectural | Historical | Traditional
• Good for Rainy Days? Not particularly – it’s mostly outdoors. There are a few spots indoors to take some creative portraits, but most of the potraits typically happen outdoors and indoors is reserved for the reception.
• Suitable for large groups? Yes, outdoors
• Permit Required? Yes (and veven then, you may not be able to access inside unless your permit specifies use of indoor spaces)
• Best time to shoot there: Early Morning/Late Afternoon

University of Toronto: Knox College

• Address: 59 St. George Street
• Description: Romantic | Architectural | Historical | Traditional
• Good for Rainy Days? Yes – it has indoor + outdoor options (with access to the chapel if your ceremony is also there)
• Suitable for large groups? Yes
• Permit Required? Yes
• Best time to shoot there: Early Morning/Late Afternoon
• Why I love Trinity College as one of the best wedding photography locations in Toronto: Of all of the U of T photography locations, I think Knox is by far the most versatile. There’s the indoor area with the grand staircase and beautiful windows, but the outdoor area also has the breezeway that’s covered so you can still be in natural light and safe from the rain. Knox college, in my opinion, is the best investment of all the U of T permits.

St. Lawrence Market

• Address: 92 Front St. East (the actual market, although the whole neighbourhood is often referred to as “St. Lawrence Market” which contains the Gooderham Building, too)

Liberty Village

• Address: ~101 Jefferson Ave
• Description: Modern | Unique
• Good for a Raindy Day? No – outdoor only
• Suitable for large groups? Yes, in some of the areas.
• Permit Required? No…ish. You have to be cautious in Liberty Village because many of the spaces are private property (condos) and you may be asked to leave by security if you’re somewhere that you shouldn’t be. A well-seasoned photographer can guide you through the neighbourhood successfully, though!

• Permit Required? Yes
• Best time to shoot there: Anytime

Allan Gardens

• Address: 19 Horticulture Ave.
• Description: Traditional | Natural | Gardens & Greenery
• Good for Rainy Days? Kinda. Indoor photos are permitted for those with a permit although the space is quite cozy and not ideal for larger groups. Couples photos can rock it indoors at Allan Gardens but I would hesitate to say that it’s ideal for larger groups.
• Suitable for large groups? Outdoors – yes! Indoors – not particularly but it can work in a pinch.
• Permit Required? Yes – especially for indoors.
• Best time to shoot there: If you’re outdoors, early morning or late afternoon. If you’re indoors, any time can work!

Graffiti Alley

• Address: ~753 Queen St. West
• Description: Modern | Unique
• Good for a rainy day? No – it’s exclusively outdoor
• Suitable for large groups? Moderately large groups, yes!
• Permit Required? No
• Best time to shoot there: Early Morning/Late Afternoon
• What you need to know about this photography locations in Toronto: So graffiti alley is called graffiti alley because it’s a literal alley. That means while you have some amazing artwork to surround yourselves with, you’re still in an alley which means puddles, bargage bins and people walking through it. If you have anyone in your wedding party of family that is sensitive to smells or who may not be comfortable in an actual alley in the middle of the city, opt for a different location.

Miller Lash House

• Address: 130 Old Kingston Rd.
• Description: Romantic | Historical
• Good for Rainy Days? Not particularly – it’s primarily outdoor. If you’re having your wedding there you may have access to some indoor or covered spaces depending on your setup for the day.
• Suitable for large groups? Outside – yes! Indoors, only if you need to in a pinch.
• Permit Required? Yes
• Best time to shoot there: Sunset. Miller Lash House is a historic building on an extensive greenspace with very little shade. Mid-day photos outdoors will be challenging as you’ll need to avoid the harsh sun. Sunset (and soft lighting!) makes the space much more versatile.

• Address: 11 Polson St.
• Description: Modern, Unique, CityScape, Industrial

• Have a peek at some more Polson Pier photos on the blog

Bob Rumball Manor

• Address: 2395 Bayview Ave
• Description: Romantic | Architectural | Historical

Don Valley Brickworks (aka Evergreen Brickworks)

• Address: 550 Bayview Ave
• Description: Modern | Architectural | Unique
• Good for Rainy Days? Not particularly – it’s mostly outdoors now
• Suitable for large groups? Yes
• Permit Required? Yes
• Best time to shoot there: Early Morning/Late Afternoon
• What you need to know about this Toronto photography location: Sometime around 2018, Evergreen Brickworks no longer allowed photography in the kiln area of the buildings. These kilns are classic “Brickworks” and without them, not only do you lose a huge portion of the indoor/covered options, you also lose a lot of what makes the Brickworks so unique. Before paying for a permit, make sure to do your due diligence and find out if you have access to the kiln area or not.

• Description: Modern

Bluffers Park (aka Scarborough Bluffs)

• Address: 1 Brimley St. South, Scarborough
• Description: Traditional | Natural | Gardens & Greenery
• Good for Rainy Days? No – exclusively outdoors
• Suitable for large groups? Not unless everyone is okay with a 7-8 minute hike
• Permit Required? It currently remains unclear if the beach itself requires a permit
• Best time to shoot there: Sunrise, for sure! The Bluffs gets incredibly busy in the afternoon and evenings the moment the weather starts to warm up, shooting there in the evening is an absolute nightmare (often the road is blocked by police due to high traffic volumes)
• What you need to know about this iconic Toronto photography location: The actual bluffs (the rocky part) is very unstable and has been collapsing steadily over the years. The east side beach is still beautiful but you have to get creative with how you shoot as there’s fencing at the bottom of the Bluffs now. The west side beach is lovely but you don’t get the rocky background. Under no circumstances should you ever go to the top of the bluffs to climb over the edge – it’s so dangerous and can cost you your life. Your safety is not worth the photo.
