Engagement shoot locations

Bhanu&Anuj

Hey everyone!

Where are you getting your e-shoots photographed?  Or where did you?

Any great places in the GTA to recommend?

I was thinking Distillery District, 1 King West (The Vault specifically), even Mississauga City hall/public library is a nice spot.

Any other ideas?

We took ours out and about in Toronto.  Not distillery, specifically, because you require a permit that's something like $250, and you can't go inside any of the buildings to take pictures.  We may use it for our wedding photos, but we didn't want to pay for our engagement session.

We went to King East (furniture district area), King West (all the cool alleyways that are restaurants and lounges in the summer were there, but they were closed on Sunday - we got some cool shots!

We also did some in and around the Esplanade and Union station.  There are some on my planning bio if you want to take a look.  Some of them were too big to post, but if you want to see more I have about 50 of them - let me know

Hope that helps!.

The Brickworks on Bayview is popular.

Here's a link with suggestions for locations and permit info (for weddings). This is listed as wedding photo info but I'm sure some of them would make good e-pic sites too!

Polson Pier would be a great area too, because there is a fantastic view of the skyline and you're on the lake.

Harbourfront; also, there's the Music Garden right by the water (not too far from Spadina/Queen's Quay). Centre Island has some beautiful spots (especially facing south, away from the skyline...boardwalks and grasses and beaches.) And basically anywhere in the Beaches.

Union stations Skywalk is a great spot.  Beautiful ceiling, great lighting.
For outdoor shots, Thompson Park at Brimley and Lawrence is really pretty with lots of cool elements for different types of shots.  Bluffers park is really nice too.

King Street West has lots of little places and the ferry over to centre island is nice since you can shoot on the ride over and make it a little story...
