The Arboretum, University of Guelph

As a wedding photographer, I recently had the pleasure of capturing this couples engagement session at The Arboretum. This is one of my favourite locations for engagement sessions, and I look forward to capturing photos here every single time.There is such a great variety of locations, all of which are easily accessible by trails or walkways. There are so many spaces that I am always able to find a private space for my couples. I love the variety of trees, especially the field of grass during sunset is absolutely magical! Also if the Japanese garden is open, it’s a great spot as well.Overall, the engagement session was a memorable experience for both the couple and myself. The fall season added an extra layer of beauty to the already stunning park, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to capture such a special moment in their lives. For anyone looking for a unique and breathtaking setting for their engagement photos, don’t even think twice!

What a beautiful area! Perfect for walking, picture taking, relaxing on multiple benches.

Beautiful place for a nice walk. Reminder to read the signs and have your dogs on a leash. My dog loves it here and enjoys the loop we do.Spring and autumn is a great time to go to capture it’s colours. Photographers will love shooting here wether it be for nature, birds or with clients.If you get lucky enough you can encounter some deers but definitely keep your distance or they will run off.

Update: Our Shiva is no longer with us

Such a lovely place to walk about. Has a great vibe. Nice place to get lost for awhile right in the heart of beautiful Guelph.

Very nice place located in Guelph. It has several small gardens which are very well maintained and beautiful. Also very nice place for a walk in the nature and have some peace of mind. Even at of the winter season it has its beauty to enjoy.

There are lots of great walking trails. Beautiful place to be with nature. If you look there are many critters that live in the arboretum. Would be a great place to teach young children about nature or go on a date. An oasis of nature in the city. Great place to go and relax. I go about once a month just to relax. Very quiet and peaceful. I particularly like the asian inspired garden and the wood trails.

Nice place to visit especially in summer. Well maintained trails

A collection of small gardens and pathways. Mostly well maintained. Definitely worth visiting over and over again. Sadly some folks still keep dogs off the leash !

Nature, nature, nature. Different places, different vibes. All amazing. Rare species found as well.
