If you are getting married in Scarborough in the summer you should consider doing your outdoor photos at Guildwood Park. It is truly a gem of a location which is located right on the water.
This park has a very interesting history behind it. After World War 2 there was a huge economic boom and in Toronto it resulted in the construction of modern office towers. This resulted in the destruction of many architecturally beautiful 19th century buildings. Rosa and Spencer Clark made it their mission to rescue over 70 statues and facades from some of the more interesting buildings. These include some prestigious banks, private granite clubs, the original Toronto Star building and even the remnants of Toronto's first skyscraper.
This is a very busy park on Saturdays with the wedding crowd but it is very unique.
If you are interested in viewing some of the photos from my last wedding there here is a link to my blog post about it. Jas + Albert's Wedding
