Start your search for the perfect photoshoot location in Toronto’s downtown area. Check out the West and East End, or the Downtown Core, as they all offer many exciting spaces for hire. The areas around Chinatown and Moss Park are easily accessible choices and are deeply picturesque districts with a unique look. For a funky and special creative look, investigate the districts towards York, especially around Dupont St and Bloor St W.

When deciding upon your favourite photo shoot location, start at the iconic intersection of Yonge Street and Dundas East Street which offers a lively and iconic public square. Another favorite is the Toronto City Hall with its striking urban look for open-air shoots. Danforth Avenue, known locally as ‘The Danforth’ is perfect for an urban neighborhood shoot. For a great big city feel, without having to leave Toronto, check out The Distillery District. If you need to hire any local restaurants and cafes check out the stately buildings of La Belle Mansion or Casa Loma.

Canadian law states that photographers are free to take photographs in public places. However, the City of Toronto requires permits for formal photography (of any kind, i.e. engagement, wedding, graduation, etc.) in any of the city’s parks. Booking and other restrictions regarding equipment, props, and music also apply. For more information call the city or visit its website. Keep in mind that private properties may have their own regulations.

Booked Photo / Film Studio Toronto at RVX Studio
4.8

I enjoyed having so many props and lighting available in the studio. Also, I needed a red draping for my shoot and they arranged to have the draping colour changed free of charge. Giovanni and Francesco were there and made sure our shoot was going according to plan and if there was anything myself or my photographer needed, they showed us where it was or how to use it. It was a pleasure being able to have my birthday shoot here. I was able to complete 4 looks in the one studio, talk about versatility.

Booked Norman Bethune Allen Lounge at Foy House
4.0

When we got there the room we originally booked was not available but that was okay as Georgia let us have the whole house as a result and it forced us to pivot which is an important skill to have. The house is absolutely beautiful with really interesting furniture and stunning wood finishes. I would definitely want to come back!

Booked Downtown 1800 sqft Open Space at Shvrk Studio Queen W
5.0

I hosted a birthday/photoshoot session. The space was bigger than I expected and the pictures don’t do it justice. The aesthetic was so nice and it’ was so clean! There is a barbershop next door, but you cant hear anything once the double privacy doors closed. Great privacy, and there are a couple washrooms in a hallway by the entrance. 10/10 space overall. Andy was super helpful and accommodating. Had the best time!

This studio is a stunning gem for photoshoots. We specifically used it for our company branding photographs. The natural lighting throughout was gorgeous and there were lots of variety when it came to backdrops, props, etc within the space. It was easy to get to, parking was accessible. The owner was extremely quick to reply to reply to all my messages and questions, highly efficient and I would definitely recommend.

Booked 5 Set Studio W/ Lighting Gear at Vintage Light Studios
5.0

Great location and venue! Decorated beautifully! The furniture and each room were tastefully matching and ample space for a wedding party to take photos with the entire group. Great extra props - i.e. stage boxes and extra high chairs to add different levels/height/depth). Easy access with a code and bathrooms just down the hall. Had everything we needed!
