When it comes to engagement photography in the Greater Toronto Area, few locations rival the elegance and grandeur of Parkwood Estate. As a Toronto engagement photographer, we’re always inspired by this iconic heritage site in Oshawa — its classic architecture, sculpted gardens, and reflective pools create a perfect setting for timeless, editorial portraits.
This engagement photoshoot with Miranda and Colin was originally planned much earlier, but we had to reschedule twice — once due to heavy rain and once due to an extreme heat warning. Thankfully, when the third date arrived, the weather was perfect, the light was beautiful, and the entire experience felt effortless. It was such a joy to photograph this couple — their connection and chemistry made everything easy.
Throughout the session, we explored different areas of Parkwood Estate — from the manicured hedges and fountains to the neoclassical columns of the mansion. Miranda wore a sleek white gown that gave the shoot a modern, editorial feel. Colin looked equally sharp in a tailored black suit, and their playful energy translated into candid, emotional photos. We captured everything from quiet intimate moments to joyful, sunlit strolls through the gardens.
Located just under an hour from Toronto, Parkwood Estate is a dream location for couples looking for unique engagement photography backdrops. With its stately mansion, reflecting pools, and European-inspired garden design, it offers a cinematic feel that’s perfect for romantic portraits. For those searching for the best photo spots in Toronto and Ontario, this location is a must-consider.
We’re so grateful to Miranda and Colin for their trust and warmth during the shoot. It was a truly memorable day, and we can’t wait to capture more love stories in this stunning estate. If you’re planning your engagement session and want timeless, emotional photography — reach out to us. We’d love to help create something beautiful.
