Top Wedding Photography Spots at Trinity College Chapel
01
The Gothic Nave (The Main Sanctuary)
The vaulted ceilings create dramatic, high-contrast shadows. We utilize directional off-camera flash to pop the architectural textures without losing the sacred, historic atmosphere.
02
The Trinity Quadrangle (The Quad)
The historic Quad offers a masterclass in symmetry. We utilize the rhythm of the stone walkways to frame your aisle walk with a timeless, academic heritage vibe.
03
Stained Glass & Sacred Light
The stained glass windows filter light into colorful, sacred pools. We utilize this "divine" light for quiet, emotional moments during the ceremony that feel truly timeless.
04
Seeley Hall
Hoskin Avenue and the surrounding UofT campus offer a "Heritage Walk" through historic iron gates. It’s the best spot for architectural variety and iconic Toronto greenery just steps from the chapel.
Trinity College Wedding Photography
The Trinity College Chapel Experience: From Our Couples
"We used Lucas & his associates as our wedding photographer and it was the best choice we made. Not only were they extremely professional and creative with their shots, they helped guide us during the official shoot. They’ve got a ton of cool gadgets used to elevate traditional wedding photos and an eye for the perfect shot. You can really tell they both love what they do as they took both our shot list into consideration and created their own unique ideas on the spot. If you’re a type A bride or not fully comfortable with the whole photography experience, these are your people. Throughout the evening, Lucas showed us shots and checked in on us to see if there were any additional photos we wanted. On such a nerve wracking day, both Lucas and Masood made us feel so confident, my husband now thinks he should be in GQ. Highly recommend."

Trinity College Wedding FAQ
1. How much does it cost to rent Trinity College Chapel for a wedding?
The rental fee is approximately $1,695 (plus HST), which includes the services of the College Organist and the Verger. Note that this fee does not include the officiant/clergy honorarium (typically an additional $300–$450).
2. Can I take photos at Trinity College if I am not getting married there?
Yes, but permits are strictly regulated. The cost is $150/hour (+HST) for the general public. Permits are only issued for the outdoor grounds (interior access is forbidden for non-weddings) and must be booked roughly two months in advance. U of T alumni may receive a 50% discount.
3. What is the seating capacity of Trinity College Chapel?
The main chapel seats 170 guests comfortably. For slightly larger groups, "overflow" seating for ~35 people is available in the side Lady Chapel. The standing-room area at the rear is generally required to remain empty for safety reasons.
4. Can I bring my own musicians to Trinity College Chapel?
Generally, no. The rental fee includes the mandatory services of the College Organist. While you may request specific classical or sacred repertoire, the organist has the final say on music selection. Guest soloists (vocalists/instrumentalists) are usually permitted but must be approved by the Music Director.
5. Are flower petals or confetti allowed at Trinity College?
No. To preserve the historic grounds and interior, the throwing of confetti, rice, birdseed, or flower petals is strictly prohibited both inside the chapel and on the exterior stone steps. Bubbles are typically the only permitted alternative for exits.
