Hamilton/Niagara Region

If you cannot find a phone number for your location, try calling the Department of Parks and Recreation in the city where the location is situated. In rare cases, you must be a resident of the city in which the park is located, in order to book the shoot. We recommend that you reserve as soon as possible, since most locations become booked up fairly quickly for certain dates. Permit fees vary depending on the location - they can range from $40 for two hours to over $100 per hour. Usually, it costs about $100 for a 90 minute permit, which is the ideal time we require for the poses (we can, however, do it in 60 minutes with a smaller pose list). Remember to bring your permit(s) on your wedding day.
