Parkwood Estate Wedding and Engagement Photographer

A National Historic Site with some of the most beautiful gardens in Ontario, and a favourite for weddings and pre wedding shoots.

Parkwood was the home of Samuel McLaughlin, founder of General Motors of Canada, and has been a National Historic Site since 1989. The estate's gardens, including the Italian Garden, Sunken Garden and the art moderne Formal Garden, have been restored to their 1930s beauty and have appeared in films like Chicago and X-Men. We have photographed at Parkwood and love how every corner feels like a film set.
