Sure it’s cold, but winter can be really beautiful, too. Whether you’re looking to take photos for fun, to fill your Instagram feed and impress the world, for winter weddings, or for any other reason, Toronto has some amazing scenery worth capturing during the snowy months. Nature and urban scenes, Toronto has it all. Grab your camera or your phone and hit up these top 8 places to take spectacular photos of the Toronto winter<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Grenadier Pond, High Park<\/b> <\/span>
    \nAll of High Park is rewarding for pictures at any time of year. But, if you can bear to wake up early to catch the morning light after a snow storm, the pond will not disappoint. It feels like being transported north to Muskoka. Absolutely stunning.<\/li>\n
  2. Lake Ontario<\/span> <\/b>
    \nThis is an obvious one, but what could be more Canadian than capturing the cityscape in winter? Or maybe, you would rather take stormy photos of the lake itself? There are a number of options when it comes to location. You can take pictures along the boardwalk either at the Beaches or all the way at Humber; from the ferry going to the Toronto Islands; the choices are endless.<\/li>\n
  3. Casa Loma<\/b><\/span><\/a>
    \nWinter and a castle? Could you ask for more of a fairy tale combo? In Toronto, we aren’t necessarily blessed with the incredibly romantic architectural scenery of, say, Europe, but at least Casa Loma gives you a taste.<\/li>\n
  4. University of Toronto, St. George Campus<\/b><\/span>
    \nContinuing along the theme of romantic scenery, do yourself a favour and go to the University of Toronto\u2019s St. George Campus. If you’re having a winter wedding in the city, this is the place to take your photos. Trinity, Knox and University College will provide the most beautiful photographs, complete with buttresses, gargoyles, stained glass and courtyards surrounded by stone vaulted arcades.<\/li>\n
  5. Nathan Philips Square<\/b><\/span>
    \nIf you’re downtown, doing some holiday shopping or looking at the latest holiday window displays at the Bay, make a stop over at Nathan Philips Square. It\u2019s the perfect place to have some hot chocolate and take some skating selfies.<\/li>\n
  6. Yonge-Dundas Square<\/b><\/span>
    \nIf metropolitan winter scenery is what you’re after, this is the place. Bright lights, bustling streets, decorations and huge advertisements make Yonge-Dundas Square the perfect setting for the most colourful photographs. For a statement photo, come to the square at night for the ultimate colour contrast.<\/li>\n
  7. The Distillery District<\/a><\/b><\/span>
    \nThis hood is just plain wonderful during the winter season. It\u2019s picturesque, historic and has a look unlike any other spot in Toronto. The holiday market is a treat for your camera lens and the festive decorations are undeniably beautiful. All around, it’s a wonderful environment for amateur photogs and for the professionals.<\/li>\n
  8. Toronto Islands<\/b><\/span><\/a>
    \nNot that we necessarily want another ice storm, but hey, if it happens, get to the islands and take some spectacular winter wonderland shots. Use monochromatic tones for an artistic touch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
