Port Perry Boardwalk
Engagement Sessions in Toronto
Palmer Park, Port Perry, ONBest Time of Year: Summer through the fall colour along the lake
Ideal For: Couples who want small-town charm and open water in one session
Port Perry's waterfront sits on Lake Scugog, with Palmer Park and the boardwalk at the foot of a nineteenth-century main street that never got torn down. Five kilometres of waterfront trail run the lakefront, and Queen Street's storefronts, antique shops and Town Hall Theatre are a minute's walk up from the water. Open-water light and small-town character in the same session, which is a combination the city can't offer.

Why Shoot Here
- Boardwalk and Palmer Park directly on Lake Scugog
- Roughly 5 km of waterfront trail along the lakefront
- Historic Queen Street storefronts a minute from the water
- Open water and big sky at sunset
- Antique shops and the Town Hall Theatre as streetscape
- A genuinely quiet alternative to the city waterfront
Session Tips
- Sunset over Lake Scugog is the strongest light of the day here
- Boardwalk and Queen Street are a minute apart — mix water with streetscape
- Weekday evenings are the quietest on the boardwalk
- Fall brings colour along the lakefront trail without the summer crowd
Getting There
Port Perry is roughly an hour and a half northeast of downtown Toronto by car, most easily via Highway 7A. There is parking near the waterfront off Water Street, and everything worth shooting sits between the boardwalk and Queen Street. Your photographer will share a meeting point once your session is booked.
