This past year and a bit has been hard on everyone for so many different reasons. However, one reason that particularly stands out is the fact that love couldn’t really be in the air. With the heavy rules and restrictions we experienced, the idea of even having a wedding, or celebration of any kind, was pretty much erased from the minds of eager couples throughout the GTA.

With that said, it’s very likely that weddings will be abundant in the coming months and summertime next year since there has been a year’s worth of them that didn’t happen. So, with the wedding craze sure to be on the rise, here are some enchanting photo locations around Toronto that you have to check out. No matter the occasion, these locations are still hot spots for taking some awesome pictures.
