I’m a wedding photographer, and there’s something special about a Toronto City Hall wedding. No frills, no fuss, just two people, a few loved ones, and the city humming in the background. The quiet moments before, the celebratory walk out, the way the city streets become part of the story. For couples who want something intimate but iconic, this place just works.
