One of the best things about this engagement photo location is that it’s kind of a hidden gem – not many people think of it as a place to take pictures at. Additionally, it doesn’t require a permit to capture pictures so we could head there any time and take a number of shots of the two of you.

You could also do pictures on the beach, with the waves in the background and overlooking Lake Ontario. The clean, sharp architecture provides a great contrast to cozy, romantic pictures and there is a lot of green space to walk through so you can capture many different views and angles.

4. Humber Bridge, Toronto
One of the greatest parts of living in a big city like Toronto is there are almost endless locations for pictures with an urban feel. Each of these locations brings a little something different to the pictures, and the Humber Bridge is no exception. Having your photo shoot here means you can capture lake views with the Toronto skyline in the background. It’s an urban feel without having a background filled with buildings. What’s more is the bridge itself features clean, white arches providing a very clean and polished look.
There are also a couple bike paths nearby so that we could wander around and get shots from various angles in addition to the pictures on the bridge.

5. On Your Street, At Your Home
If you and your partner have moved in together and started to build a home, then you have a neighborhood you likely feel very comfortable in. As a photographer, I’d love to come visit the street you live on or the home you’ve built and take some pictures of the two of you, in the place you feel the most comfortable. These pictures will double as a memory of the very first home you shared together, or the home you had the day you got married. It’s unique and can’t be more personal, what can make it just a best photo location for your wedding or engagement pictures.
style: cozy, romantic, natural
elements: everything you know and love
