I'm Danica a Toronto, GTA, and London documentary wedding photographer and videographer. LOVERS WITH PUPPERS are my thing.

Couples, families, and pets is what I do best. Toronto & Area based photographer and videographer capturing love stories, your doggos, and everything in between! Every photo session has a video highlight from our time together! It's all about the real moments in between moments.

I’ve put together a list of some of my favourite Outdoor Wedding Venues — from waterfront estates and romantic gardens to countryside barns and unique Toronto spaces that blend nature with the city.

I’m always drawn to venues that don’t just look beautiful, but feel beautiful. The places where you can breathe, be present, hug your people a little tighter, and let the day unfold naturally.

Inside the blog, I’m sharing:
✨ Why I love each venue
✨ Things to consider when planning your wedding there
✨ Estimated guest counts
✨ The little details that make each space unique

Whether you’re newly engaged or searching for your dream Ontario Wedding Venue, I hope this guide helps you find a place that feels like you. 🤍

And if you’re looking for a photographer who cares about capturing the real moments — the happy tears, the belly laughs, the quiet glances, and everything in between — I would love to be part of your story.

There is something so incredibly magical about watching the people you love step into a whole new chapter of life.

I’ve had the privilege of photographing so many growing families over the years, but when it’s your friends—the people you’ve laughed with, celebrated alongside, and watched grow themselves—it hits a little differently.

Seeing them become parents is one of the most beautiful transformations.

As a photographer, I get to freeze these fleeting moments before everything changes. As a friend, I get to cheer them on from the sidelines, knowing their greatest adventure is only just beginning.

To all of my friends who are welcoming little ones into the world: thank you for trusting me to capture this season. It is an honour I’ll never take for granted.

Here’s to growing families, tiny kicks, endless love, and the incredible journey of becoming someone’s whole world. 🤍

Love you 3 so much!

There are some wedding days that stay with you long after you’ve packed up your cameras, and Lee & Blake’s is one I’ll be thinking about for a very long time.

After getting to know these two during their engagement session wandering through some of their favourite places in downtown Toronto, I already knew their wedding day was going to be something special. Every conversation leading up to it came back to the same thing: the people they love. Family. Friends. The laughter, the hugs, the dance floor, and creating a celebration where everyone felt like they belonged.

And that’s exactly what it became.

Their day brought everything—from soaring summer temperatures to dark, dramatic clouds rolling overhead. It kept us on our toes, but somehow every moment unfolded exactly as it was meant to. And when we needed it most, the skies opened just enough to gift us the most breathtaking backdrop for portraits before everyone came together for one unforgettable celebration.

It’s days like these that remind me why I fell in love with documenting weddings. It’s never just about the photographs—it’s about preserving the feeling. The way people look at one another. The hugs that last a little longer. The tears, the laughter, the stories that will be told for generations.

Lee & Blake, thank you for trusting me to tell your story. It was an absolute honour to witness your incredible love and the beautiful community you’ve built around you. Here’s to a lifetime of celebrating exactly the way you did on this day. 🤍

A day filled with the kind of people who make you feel instantly welcomed. Family and friends who showed up with their whole hearts. Live music floating through the air. A cocktail that I’m still thinking about. And a dance floor at the Hard Rock Hotel that absolutely understood the assignment.

The kind of celebration where every moment felt intentional, joyful, and completely them.

These are the days I find myself smiling through while editing. The ones that remind me how lucky I am to witness so much love in so many different forms.

So while I’m over here keeping up with current galleries, upcoming weddings, and the never-ending adventure of running a small business, I’m also making space for the stories that deserve to be seen.

And this one?

This one is staying with me for a very long time. 🤍

Thinking about a City Hall wedding in Toronto? 🤍

There is something incredibly beautiful about keeping things simple and focusing on what matters most: the two of you.

Here are some of my favourite benefits of a City Hall wedding:

✨ Less stress and planning
No months of coordinating vendors, timelines, and seating charts. You can focus on your marriage instead of managing an event.

✨ More intimate moments
Whether it’s just the two of you or a handful of your favourite people, every moment feels personal and meaningful.

✨ Budget-friendly
Spend less on the wedding day and more on what matters most to you—whether that’s a honeymoon, future home, or simply starting your next chapter together.

✨ Flexibility to celebrate your way
Have a quiet ceremony and then head out for photos, a fancy dinner, a backyard gathering, or a weekend away together.

✨ Focus on the marriage, not the production
The day becomes about your commitment to one another rather than managing a schedule.

✨ Great for any stage of life
Whether you’re eloping, planning a second marriage, welcoming a baby soon, or simply wanting something low-key, City Hall weddings fit so many love stories.

✨ You can still dress up!
Just because it’s a smaller wedding doesn’t mean you can’t wear the outfit of your dreams and make the day feel special.

✨ Every love story deserves to be celebrated
Big wedding, small wedding, backyard wedding, or City Hall wedding—what matters most is that you’re marrying your person.

As a photographer, I absolutely love City Hall weddings because they allow so much space for genuine emotion, connection, and those quiet little moments that often become the most treasured memories. 🤍

The outreach about THE BABY PLAN 🐑 has been overwhelming! Thank you to everyone who has asked about it and reached out!

Soft launching something I’ve been quietly creating for families 🤍

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of documenting some of life’s sweetest chapters — growing bellies, sleepy newborn days, sitting-up milestones, first birthdays, and all those little in-between moments that somehow pass far too fast.

I wanted to create something that makes preserving that first year feel simple, intentional, and connected — a way to capture the full story as your family grows. And yes, pets are part of that story too, always.

🍼 This is for families who want to remember more than just what their baby looked like — but what this season truly felt like. 🍼

I’m opening a limited number of 💕 Baby Plan 💕 collections and sharing the details first with those who want an early look before the full launch.

A slight variation if you want it to feel even more “exclusive first access” can work really well too — happy to write that version as well.

My biggest flex? Creating work that still feels just as good years later 🤍

The kind of colour tones that don’t chase trends.
The kind of classic shots that never feel dated.
The kind of candid moments that hit even harder with time.

Looking back on elopements like this one, I can’t help but smile a little… because staying true to my style—soft, honest, timeless—always wins.

No heavy edits to regret. No trends to outgrow. Just real moments, exactly as they felt.

And honestly… I’ll always give myself a quiet little pat on the back for that.
