A Beautiful Toronto City Hall Civil Wedding with Photos at Osgoode Hall

There’s something so timeless about a civil wedding ceremony at Toronto City Hall. It’s intimate, relaxed, and full of emotion in the simplest way. I recently had the pleasure of photographing a lovely couple who chose to celebrate their marriage right in the heart of downtown Toronto.

Before their ceremony, we met at Osgoode Hall for portraits. It’s one of my favourite spots for wedding photos in the city. The historic architecture, grand doors, and quiet courtyards make a stunning backdrop for couples who want something elegant yet classic. The early afternoon light filtered beautifully through the trees, and we captured a mix of candid and posed moments that reflected their personalities perfectly.

After the portraits, we walked over to Toronto City Hall for the civil wedding ceremony. The ceremony itself was short but filled with joy and emotion. Whether you’re planning something private with just witnesses or a small group of family and friends, the City Hall setting always feels special. The modern architecture and clean lines make it a great space for wedding photography.

Once the couple officially tied the knot, we headed up to the rooftop of Toronto City Hall for a few more photos. It’s a spot that not everyone knows about, but it offers a beautiful view of the city skyline and a calm moment away from the crowds below. The newlyweds shared a few quiet moments together, and I loved capturing the excitement and tenderness between them as the city stretched out in the background.

What I love most about Toronto City Hall weddings is how stress-free they are. You can focus on what truly matters — celebrating your love. And with so many beautiful locations nearby like Osgoode Hall, Queen Street, or Nathan Phillips Square, there are endless photo opportunities right outside the building.

If you’re planning your own civil wedding at Toronto City Hall, I’d love to photograph it for you. My approach is relaxed and natural, so you can simply enjoy the day while I capture the real moments that tell your story.
