1. The Lake House

Planning a Pickering Wedding? A Few Things to Keep in Mind
• Consider your wedding-day locations
Pickering weddings can take place near the waterfront, in the countryside, at golf clubs or at historic venues. Choosing a location where your ceremony, portraits and reception can happen with minimal travel can make the day feel much more relaxed.
• Take advantage of the waterfront
If your venue is close to Lake Ontario or Frenchman's Bay, leave some time for portraits outside. Water, open skies and evening light can add a strong sense of place to your wedding photos and film.
• Plan portraits around natural light
If possible, schedule some couple portraits during the softer light later in the afternoon. Even a short window before sunset can create beautiful, atmospheric images.
• Leave room for genuine moments
You don't need to plan every minute of your wedding day. Some of the most meaningful photographs and film moments happen between the scheduled events — during conversations, hugs, laughter and quiet moments together.
