Here are some of our favourite locations for wedding and couple photography.

Best for: Romantic garden portraits, flowers and greenery.
Rockway Gardens is a beautiful choice for couples who want a romantic outdoor setting. The gardens offer flowers, greenery, pathways, water features and stone details, creating plenty of variety for wedding and couple portraits.
It is also a great option for an engagement or pre-wedding couple session before the wedding day.
2. Waterloo Park – Waterloo
Best for: Natural, relaxed couple photography.
Waterloo Park offers mature trees, greenery, open spaces and walking paths. It works particularly well for couples who want photographs that feel natural and relaxed.
Walking, talking and candid photographs can be combined with traditional portraits to create a varied gallery.
3. Victoria Park – Kitchener

Victoria Park is one of Kitchener’s well-known outdoor locations, offering greenery, mature trees, pathways and water views.
It can be a great choice for couples who want a combination of classic wedding portraits and natural photographs.
4. Mill Race Park – Cambridge

Located along the Grand River in Cambridge, Mill Race Park offers a beautiful combination of water, greenery and historic architecture.
The different surroundings allow couples to create romantic riverside portraits as well as more dramatic architectural photographs.
5. Cambridge Mill & Grand River Area

The Cambridge Mill area provides a beautiful setting for couples who want both architecture and nature in their wedding photographs.
The historic character of the area works beautifully with wedding attire, while the Grand River and surrounding greenery provide softer outdoor portraits.
6. Tapestry Hall & Gaslight District – Cambridge

This setting can create a more contemporary and editorial feel for wedding or engagement photographs.
7. Downtown Galt – Cambridge
Best for: Historic architecture and urban couple portraits.
Downtown Galt combines historic buildings, streets, bridges and the Grand River.
It is a great option for couples who want photographs with a more editorial or city-inspired look while still having natural scenery nearby.
8. Huron Natural Area – Kitchener
Best for: Nature lovers and relaxed outdoor sessions.
For couples who prefer trails, trees and natural surroundings, Huron Natural Area offers a completely different atmosphere.
It can be particularly beautiful for engagement sessions and casual couple photography.
