Winter Engagement Photo Locations

• University of Western Ontario Campus
• Civic Gardens
• Sydenham Ridge Estates
• Port Stanley
• If you are willing to travel a bit, some great indoor locations for an engagement session includes the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory and the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton and Burlington

Here’s a throwback to one of our most favourite Winter sessions!

Spring Engagement Photos Locations

The key to picking the perfect engagement session location in the spring is to consider that spring starts off with not a whole lot of greenery! It’s best to pick a spot with gorgeous architecture or wait until the world blooms a little more! During the springtime, one of our most favourite locations for spring engagement photos is the magnolia trees at Springbank Park. Nailing down the perfect timing when the magnolia trees bloom and how long they last is a bit of a science. However, keep in mind that the magnolia trees bloom for 2-3 weeks around the end of April/beginning of May.

Summer Engagement Photo Locations

• Port Stanley beach
• Downtown/Thames River (it’s gorgeous at sunset!)

Here’s one of our all-time favourite summer sessions at Port Stanley!

Fall Engagement Photo Locations

• Springbank Park (the fall colours peak mid to late October!)
• The Old Courthouse
