TORONTO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
As you are probably aware, your wedding day will be one of the most important days of your life. But, in order to make this day perfect, you will have to take a few things into consideration. One of these things is hiring the best wedding photographer.
Read MoreWedding photographer Hamilton: What to expect
First of all, I would like to mention Ridge Road. This beautiful trail is situated in Stoney Creek community and it provides multiple accesses to visitors. This is a mountain road with a big light-up cross on top. You can also get some beautiful photos if you go to the towering waterfall. So, if you are into pure natural wedding photos in Hamilton, you must take Ridge Road into account.
Another great place that I’ve been working at as a Hamilton wedding photographer is Bayfront Park. This park has some really beautiful trees (different kinds of trees), attractive water area and boats. We can take some excellent photos at the piers and on the trail. For the more adventurous couples, we can take shots on the Waterfront Trail too. This area has a few restaurants and ice cream parlors where couples can take a break on a hot summer day.
I should also mention the Royal Botanical Gardens. Actually, this place is based in Burlington, but there are natural areas that belong to Hamilton too. This is one of the most popular attractions between Toronto and Niagara Falls. This place is known for the many different plants and flowers and I am sure that we can come up with some memorable wedding photos there. On top of that, this photo shooting will be enjoyable and free of stress. All these plants and flowers will make you unwind and relax which is exactly what you need on your wedding day.
If you don’t have time to wander around or you are more into urban photography, it’s a smart move to go to Downtown Hamilton. Another positive thing about this area is that you can find multiple interesting locations. The best wedding photos are taken in front of old, historic buildings and walls covered in graffiti. It all depends on your personal preferences.
You don’t need a permit to enter and take photos in Hess Village and this area is rich in great architecture and many bars. This means that you will get an opportunity to take both indoor and outdoor wedding photos.
Keep in mind that these are only some of the places where you can get excellent wedding photography in Hamilton. With a wedding photographer Hamilton option like me, you can rest assured that you will get the best possible photos. Feel free to contact me at any time in order to discuss the location options you have in Hamilton.
The best places that a Mississauga wedding photographer can use
One of the best places where your Mississauga photographer can take photos is Richard’s, Memorial Park. Situated in one of the most beautiful parts of the city, this waterfront park has many interesting areas where you can take shots. The park has many lively trees, a small beach, and a few picnic areas. Keep in mind that you can find some swans in the water which would be perfect for your wedding photo.
The next spot that you may use for this purpose is Queen Elizabeth Jubilee II Garden. This special garden is situated at City Hall. It’s easy to access it and provides a perfect mixture of urban and natural elements. If your wedding venue is in the city, you won’t have to travel a lot to get to this place. As a matter of fact, many couples are using the gardens to host a wedding party. If you have time, you can include some other parts of City Hall in your wedding photos.
Next stop – Benares Historic House. As we all know, the weather in Mississauga can be unpredictable. It doesn’t take much time before a sunny day is turned into a rainy day. That’s why we recommend Benares Historic House because this place looks great both inside and outside. If the weather is bad, you can go inside and take photos that will show the rustic elements of this house.
Another great place for taking wedding photos in Mississauga is Port Credit. It’s not just Lake Ontario that makes this place special. This is a very diverse place where you can take different kinds of photos. Don’t be afraid to walk a little bit to find the perfect places to take photos. Of course, your wedding photographer should help you find these ideal spots.
The best Mississauga wedding photographers will definitely make your wedding more memorable and exciting. They will take photos at the wedding venue, but you can also take photos before the wedding starts in some of the most beautiful parts of the city.
If you need an experienced Mississauga wedding photographer, don’t hesitate to call me at any time – I’ll be glad to help you.
Burlington Wedding Photography
In order to save you some time and energy, I have decided to create a short list of places where you can get the best Burlington wedding photography.
First of all, you can check the Royal Botanical Gardens. This is one of the favorite places for couples who want to take wedding photos. According to some sources, this is one of the largest botanical gardens in North America. In case you are a fan of nature and outdoor activities and you want to take a trip to the wilderness, you can check Bronte Creek Provincial Park where you will find many different plants and even some animals too. Burlington is an excellent location for those who love nature trails and hiking paths too. A wedding photo session like this can be quite refreshing before the big moment comes.
If you have decided to hold your wedding in the summer period, you can use this opportunity to go to a place where some special seasonal events take place like the Artists Walk in Village Square. Although it’s not typical for couples to take wedding photos in the downtown area, the Waterfront is the ideal place for taking photos especially if you are not very shy.
Those of you who want something special can check the magnetic hills situated north of Bayview Park. This is a truly unique piece of nature. Another place that is out of the ordinary on this list is the abandoned wire industrial steel plant. If you are into city/urban photography that’s completely unusual this is the right place for you. With the best wedding photographer, I am quite sure that you will get the photos that you have always wanted.
Have you ever visited LaSalle Park? This is a very interesting Lakefront hub with a wading pool where you can take high-quality photos. It’s wise to go there when the sunset comes because the lake looks great and you can make some amazing photos.
As you can see, Burlington wedding photography can be spectacular because this place has been blessed with some special spots for taking photos. Of course, if you want to get the best results from your wedding photo session, you should hire a professional wedding photographer. I’ll be glad to help you with that!
