A pre-wedding shoot is your chance to get comfortable in front of the camera, show off a couple of great outfits and create images for your save-the-dates and wedding signage. Windsor has more variety than people expect. Here are our favourite pre-wedding shoot locations in and around the city.

1. Willistead Manor

A 1906 Tudor-style mansion with manicured grounds in Walkerville. Perfect for elegant, regal looks, especially in lehengas, sherwanis and formal gowns. Check current rules and permits before booking.

2. Dieppe Gardens and the Riverfront

The Detroit skyline across the river makes an unbeatable backdrop, especially at sunset or blue hour. Great for modern, city-style looks.

3. Jackson Park

Home to beautifully maintained gardens with seasonal blooms. Soft, romantic and easy to access.

4. Coventry Gardens

Riverside gardens with the Peace Fountain (seasonal) and wide-open water views. Ideal for golden hour.

5. Walkerville District

Historic brick buildings, charming streets and character for days. Great for a casual second outfit.

6. Ojibway Park and Prairie

Forest trails and tall grasses for natural, earthy images. Especially stunning in fall.

7. Point Pelee and Kingsville

About 45 to 60 minutes away, but worth it for beaches, boardwalks and lakeside sunsets.

Timing tips

• Golden hour (the hour before sunset) gives warm, flattering light
• Weekday mornings mean fewer crowds at popular parks
• Fall in Windsor-Essex brings incredible colour, usually peaking in October

Outfit tips

Plan two or three looks: one traditional (lehenga, saree, sherwani), one formal Western, and one casual. Choose colours that complement each location.

Pre-wedding shoots on the wedding day

Short on time? Many H&H Media couples add a mini pre-wedding shoot on the wedding day itself. Give us about an hour during getting ready and we’ll capture couple portraits before the ceremony chaos begins.
