Fort Garry Photographer

Graduation, family and engagement photography in Fort Garry — the University of Manitoba campus, King’s Park and the Bois-des-esprits forest.

Photography in Fort Garry

Fort Garry blends university architecture, riverside parkland and a genuine urban forest. It is the obvious choice for convocation portraits, and King’s Park adds cherry blossoms in spring and warm meadow light the rest of the year.

Favourite Fort Garry photo spots

  • University of Manitoba, Fort Garry campus. Stone buildings, arched walkways and green quads — the home of Winnipeg grad photography.
  • King’s Park. Riverside meadows, a Korean pavilion and a short avenue of cherry trees that blossom in May.
  • Bois-des-esprits. An urban forest along the Seine River with wood carvings hidden among the trees.
  • St. Vital Park. Big open space, a duck pond and the conservatory a few minutes north.

Sessions that suit Fort Garry

Fort Garry is built for graduation and portrait photography, family sessions and engagements, plus spring blossom mini-sessions.

Planning your session

For campus photos, evenings and weekends are quietest. The King’s Park cherry blossoms last only about a week in mid-May, so watch the forecast and book flexibly.

Fort Garry sessions

Fort Garry photography — questions

Can you do graduation photos on the U of M campus?

Yes. Fort Garry campus convocation and grad portraits are one of Teri’s regular session types — gown, hood, tux or your own outfit.

When do the cherry blossoms bloom at King’s Park?

Usually the second or third week of May, for roughly a week. Sessions during that window are weather-dependent and booked short-notice.

Is Bois-des-esprits easy to walk?

The main loop is a flat, well-used dirt trail. It can be muddy after rain and in early spring.
