If you want an urban session, downtown St. Catharines is a phenomenal choice, featuring a plethora of cool nooks and crannies and distinctly interesting spots that will make you look money. It’s perfect for a freestyle session – meaning we just walk around and hunt for the magic sauce.

beach time
Do you love being by the lake, strolling on the beach, or walking through wooded trails and open fields? Firelane No. 1 has it all. It’s a one-stop shop! It’s also a noteworthy place to linger and have a post-session campfire by the water – so bring supplies!
This spot just seems to come alive in the fall with those rich autumn tones and gorgeous late-day light. It features a walking trail along the 12-mile creek, as well as a sweet overlook of the water, fields, woods, and so much more. Sunset engagement photos here are mind blowing!

Genridge Quarry Naturalization site is a lush eco-park that is just around the corner from Brock U. If you dig trails, rolling hills, ponds, lush greenery, and more . . . the quarry just might fit the bill. The park also comes with a pretty epic hilltop view!
A staple of Niagara, this place is a sweet spot for engagement photos, especially the treeline. The evergreens are pure magic during or after a nice snowfall. In the summer months, you’ll have to fork out some $$ for a day pass as the campground is open.

off to the races
Ok, this isn’t the typical spot you had in mind, but don’t scroll by without hearing us out. The race track is pretty awesome in its own right. From the massive parking lot, the billboard alley on the hill, the giant bleachers, vintage buses, or the track itself – there’s much to explore here, folks. Check it out!
Rockway Glen is epic – nuff said. Not only is it an incredible place to hike, but sessions here are a blast. Its jaw-dropping natural beauty is a feast for the eyes, with its streams, waterfalls, and giant rock walls. Don’t forget your hiking shoes!

lakeside action
Niagara’s Lake Gibson is a great place to shoot as the sun slips over the horizon. We typically shoot at Mel Schwartz Park, enjoying its brilliant boardwalk on the water and forest trails. It’s definitely a solid choice!
Do you still need a photographer? We got you! Why don’t you have a peruse and if you dig what you see, hit us up!
Cheers!
