Toronto Island
The Toronto Island is great for a number of reasons – you’ll have the privacy of being out of the city, a gorgeous view of the Toronto skyline, and the option to take pictures surrounded by nature. You’ll have to take a ferry to get there, but enjoy the ride and snap some pictures on the way.
Evergreen Brickworks

Depending on what look you’re going for, you can hit all the marks at this unique spot right in the middle of the city.
Distillery District
Who doesn’t love a background of exposed brick and gorgeous architecture? The Distillery District is a classic spot which has earned its place on this list as one of the romantic places in the city. Whether you’re taking pictures in the summer or in the winter, the Distillery District is a great spot. If you’re doing a winter engagement shoot, take some pictures during the Christmas Market at night with all the lights and hustle and bustle.
City Streets
Head to Queen St. W and explore the back alleys (hint: there’s an alley called ‘Graffiti Alley’) to use the graffiti art as your background, or step out onto the crosswalk on King St. W for a city-inspired photoshoot.
