For the foreseeable future due to COVID-19, Knox College is issuing only outdoor engagement/wedding photography permits. This includes the cloister, courtyards, and building façade.
Engagement/wedding photography permits are only issued when the premises are available on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays. Knox permits only one permit per time two-hour time slot with a maximum total of 10 people on the premises. The cost for an outdoor engagement/wedding photo permit for 2020 is $400 (HST included) per two-hour flat time block. An increase in the cost of the permit is anticipated in 2021.
Washrooms are inaccessible during the shoot.
The use of drones for photography and/or videotaping is strictly prohibited.
The booking of your engagement/wedding photos at Knox College is based on no restrictions placed on Knox College by Federal, Provincial, or Municipal governments related to COVID-19 emergency directives.
