If there is a location that you don't see here or information that might not be correct feel free to send me an email- ckosky at shaw dot ca

 Thank you so much to all photography contributions- I honestly couldn't post half of the stuff without them! If you are a photographer and would be generous enough to donate photos or details of a location it would be greatly appreciated- please contact me!

Millennium Library

Another great indoor location and as of present it's free!   The Millennium library has a literal wall of windows on the east side of the building that provide some great light.  There is also a long staircase and some other neat settings.  It is best to call ahead and have permission before shooting in the library.  Parking outdoors even on the weekends can be a tad tricky but if you don't have a limousine service shuttling you around on the wedding day there is an adjoining indoor parkade that is warm, dry and always has decent parking.

The Fort Garry Hotel

222 Broadway
Parking: metered parking on street/ hotel outdoor and indoor parkade


Okay- so you probably wouldn't be using this location if you didn't have a wedding ceremony or reception taking place in one of the ballrooms- but I typically suggest that this is a GREAT hotel to book a room for "getting ready" or your wedding night because in the case of rain this can be a great backup plan!
The lobby in between the ballrooms on the 7th floor is majestic (great for family and classic couple shots)there are plenty of stairwells, doorways and interesting backdrops. I just love the 10th floor windows and bright white walls and ceilings for some photos as well.

Pine Ridge Hollow

Oakbank, MB R0E 1J0

You probably wouldn't be taking a drive to Pine Ridge Hollow solely for photos opportunities if your wedding isn't taking place here, but because it is one of my favorite venues I thought I should write a quick blurb about it.
The gardens are beautiful and very well maintained, I do however realize that beautiful flowers need a ton of sun so unless you have an overcast day I find that squinting during ceremonies is a huge factor in photos. Around the front of the building there is a treed section that I prefer to use for family shots- but this year with a massive addition to the store, much of this area and shooting opportunities was decreased.
There are some pathways (and of course the petting zoo) which makes for some nice photo ops. I also even like the dirt road before turning into Pine Ridge Hollow for some great candid looking shots.
Around back, there is a perfect lil' bridge which runs over a cute lil moving pond. i also find the venue tent (while there is still some daylight) beautiful, white and bright for awesome detail/ cake/ reception photos.

The Steven Juba Park

Waterfront Drive, Winnipeg
Cost: Outdoors, free, no booking required
Parking: Metered Parking on street



A relatively newer park to the Winnipeg Downtown yet still VERY popular. This location offers a river view, nostalgic train bridge, walking bridge, laterned pathways and nice park benches- there are a ton of different backdrops for your wedding or family photos. I really like this park. Shade is abundant, the colors are beautiful in the summer and the fall and for a change of scenery it is within close walking distance to many wonderful picture opportunities in the East side of the exchange district!

Kings Head Pub

120 King Street 
(204) 957-7710

Although this is not my favorite location for lighting and backdrops, it seems to be a frequent request these days for many couples.  The old pub atmosphere and of course the lure of a good beer make it a quick stop to have a drink and shoot a few pics :)  Backdrops are a little limited but if you are looking for a pub style shoot it's certainly the place.  Typically pretty quiet during the weekend afternoons and with admission being a round of drinks for you wedding party it's a good quick stop.
