Serving Toronto Weddings & Events

House of Portraits brings a fully equipped photography studio directly to your wedding, gala, or corporate event anywhere in Toronto and the GTA. Instead of asking guests to travel to a photographer, we set up an editorial-style portrait lounge on-site, so every guest can step in, strike a pose, and walk away with a professional keepsake portrait before the night is over.

Built for Weddings and Brand Moments

Couples bring us in to give their wedding guests real studio portraits in place of the typical photo booth strip — proper lighting, direction, and an editorial finish that fits the rest of the day. Brands and event planners hire us for the same reason: to give corporate events, product launches, and activations a polished, on-brand photo experience, from intimate dinners to large-scale activations like our shoot for OMEGA.

How It Works

  1. We set up an on-site portrait studio at your venue, so no one has to travel.

  2. Guests step in for a short, guided portrait session with real studio lighting and direction.

  3. Every guest leaves with a keepsake portrait from the event.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is House of Portraits different from a photo booth?

Unlike a typical photo booth, House of Portraits is a full on-site studio with a professional photographer, real studio lighting, and directed posing — so every portrait looks editorial, not grainy or gimmicky.

How many guests can be photographed per hour?

This depends on your event size and package, but the portrait lounge is designed to move efficiently so we can photograph a steady stream of guests throughout your wedding or event. Share your guest count and we’ll recommend the right setup.

Do you travel outside Toronto?

House of Portraits is based in Toronto and primarily serves weddings and events across the GTA. We’re happy to discuss travel for events further afield — just reach out with your event details.

Is House of Portraits available for corporate and brand events?

Yes. In addition to weddings, we’ve brought House of Portraits to corporate events and brand activations — including a shoot for OMEGA — giving companies an elevated, editorial photo experience for their guests and clients.

Wow! What an incredible experience. Typically I get a bit nervous when taking a professional photo. I automatically overthink it and get nervous. Ajay and his partner made me feel so comfortable, so relaxed. But what was even better? I was AMAZED at how the photo turned out. I had to take a double take. I’m so so so thrilled with how the photo turned out and loved the experience. Huge thanks to Ajay and his team. They’re one of the best!

Ajay did the portrait photos for my wedding! And they were GORGEOUS and so high quality…none of the graininess that’s in typical Photo Booth photos. I loved the styling and sophisticated finish on my photos. One of my favorite photos from my entire wedding was actually one of the ones that came from Ajay!

I also want to add a note on how lovely Ajay is to work with. Weddings can be high stress and often a lot of details can get lost for the bride and groom who are running around. I reached out to Ajay months after my wedding to see if he could send me a photo with a different resolution for one of my favorite prints and he responded immediately and edited my photo to make it better for printing. It was so incredibly kind of him and I am so grateful. His customer service is incredible and you can tell he really cares about his clients.

It’s hard to make the bride happy! But Ajay was wonderful and I would highly highly recommend Ajay for all photo needs!

House of Portraits was amazing to work with and produced some absolutely gorgeous memories of our wedding day. Ajay was exceptional to work with and extremely kind. He made us feel so comfortable and have these incredible photos of our day. He also gave our guests the ability to capture beautiful photos to have right after our event. We couldn’t recommend them more!

Ajay shot two of the most important milestones in my life thus far, and I have nothing but positive things to say! My husband and I used Ajay for our proposal photoshoot, as well as for our wedding reception photoshoot, and both times we had an amazing experience! Both times, Ajay’s attention to detail, as well as the effort that was put into bringing our vision to life, was immaculate! He took his time with our photos ensuring that the perfect moment was caught in each shot. Every picture not only turned out amazing, but it looked like a piece of art that I was so excited to display. Ajay was extremely patient and easygoing, and he was very easy to work with. I definitely recommend Ajay for any special moments you would like to capture, and we will definitely be using him again in the future!
