An editorial-style shoot in one of Toronto’s most iconic architectural gems
A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Toronto
Nestled on the University of Toronto campus, Knox College feels like stepping into a quiet, gothic dream—right in the middle of the city. With its ivy-covered archways, moody stone corridors, and soft natural light, it’s the perfect setting for portraits that feel both cinematic and intimate. Whether you're planning an engagement session or elopement, Knox’s timeless beauty lends itself effortlessly to romantic storytelling.
Why We Love Shooting Here
Knox College offers:
Gorgeous stone archways that filter golden light in the most flattering ways
Historic architecture that feels both elegant and cozy
A peaceful atmosphere—rare in such a central location
A balance of moody interiors and open-air cloisters, giving tons of variety in a single shoot
This location is ideal for couples who love old-world charm, want a bit of drama in their photos, or are planning something small and meaningful in the city.
Moody Meets Romantic
There’s something about the quiet hush of these stone hallways that makes you slow down. The way light streams in through the arched windows creates an almost painterly effect—perfect for capturing real, emotional moments without the rush.
We kept things simple for this shoot: no elaborate setups, just clean, editorial-inspired portraits that let the setting and the connection between our couple shine.
Tips for Shooting at Knox College
Timing is everything. Late afternoon brings soft, golden light to the cloisters.
Check for permits. Since it’s on U of T property, a photography permit may be required for professional shoots.
Bring comfortable shoes. You’ll want to explore the full courtyard and hallways to get the most out of your session.
Planning Your Session
Knox College is beautiful year-round, but especially magical in the fall when leaves begin to turn around the courtyard. If you're considering a session here, reach out early—spaces like this are in high demand for good reason.
