Wade Studio is a photo/film/event rental studio company.

We offer built-in cycloramas, oliphant backdrops, and industrial-style windows for beautiful natural light. Most importantly – we’re located in downtown Toronto. We designed our studios differently than most: one as a beautiful space to pop in and shoot with enormous south and west facing windows for inimitable natural light, and the other as a highly equipped workshop with high-end lighting gear for serious professional photography. Our goal is simple: to satisfy the high demands and needs of photographers, videographers, and producers all over the GTA… with a variety of creative choices and ample equipment to make your dream shoots happen.
