The Girl Behind the Lens!

Welcome to Amy Symes Photography, a blog showcasing recent work to both current and potential clients!

A little bit about me...

I am a wife and mother of a beautiful baby girl, passionate about art, culture, travel and good food (though, it couldn't hurt if I spent more time in the kitchen!) and of course, photography! 

I'm a hopeless romantic with an eye for detail and a great desire to capture those tender, candid moments shared between couples on their wedding day, expectant parents anticipating the arrival of a special someone and families spending precious time together. My ultimate goal is to share your love stories through photography.

Have a look around! Here on the blog you'll find my most recent work or head over to my website/ online portfolio to check out the galleries. Additonally, if you are a bride or couple planning a wedding, be inspired by fresh ideas and real weddings on Wedding Envy .  There you will also find local vendors and other resources!

Think we're a good fit?  Please contact me using the blog or website submission form or at symes (dot) amy (at) gmail (dot) com   (written this way to prevent spammers!)

If you'd like to receive email notifications when I've added a new post,  enter your email under the "subscribe" tab!  I proimse, you won't be disappointed!

Looking forward to working with you!

Sincerely,

Amy

Hailey and Pierre ♥ Love session

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to photograph my fellow colleague and friend, Hailey and her boyfriend, Pierre.  Hailey had been talking to me one day about how Pierre had wanted to have some photos done together at Walmart …fortunately, they decided against Walmart and went with me!  They both seemed more than thrilled with the outcome...

Nicole and Ryan ♥ November 7th 2009

Nicole and I went to high school together.  I had the chance to photograph her special day on November 7th, 2009.  The ceremony and reception were held at the Black Sea Hall in St. Catharines and all the formals were done at the Secret Gardens in Nigara Falls.  The grounds lent themselves to some lovely...

Baby Cameron

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve last posted! It’s terrible, I know! I have taken a little break, not because blogging is overwhelming but because blogging combined with school work, report cards, marking (which I’m forever behind on) and just plain old down time is too much sometimes!  I figure since the spirit moved me tonight, I...

The Wiggle Waggle Walkathon

I have been meaning to blog about this since Madison and I completed a 5k  walk for the Ottawa Humane Society’s IAMS Wiggle Waggle Walkathon, held every year in Ottawa.  I had heard of it many times, as friends of ours usually participate in this great event that raises money for needy animals in the city. ...

A walk in the park-eh…

On Labour Day, the sun was shining and it was so warm out that Andrew and I decided to go downtown for a stroll.  We started at Strathcona park–there wasn’t really much to see but it was a nice walk and I brought along my camera…of course   While walking through Strathcona, I was looking...

A love affair with shoes ♥

I’m not sure what the appeal is for women and shoes, but I honestly ♥ shoes.  Surprisingly enough, however, I don’t buy as many as it might seem from this post.  While I love great shoes, I am very picky when it comes to footwear.  I should be focusing more on comfort, especially in a job where you...

L, M, N, O, P….rocrastination

So here I am–Wednesday, August 19th 2009.  I have been saying since Monday that I really need to start getting organized for school, which inevitably, started out as a shopping trip to Staples!  I always say that I’m just going to pick up ‘few things’, but the sad reality is that I have this thing about school...

Summer at last!!

It finally felt like summer today! I was trying to decide whether I wanted to clean the bathrooms and unload the dishwasher or go outside and play!  The sun won!  You have to take advantage of it afterall! I pretty much treated myself to a morning at the spa and and afternoon outdoors.  I wasn’t...

Fresh Summer Salad!

If there’s one thing I love more than eating food–it’s photographing it! Summer is such a great time for that too, when there are all sorts of fresh fruits and veggies that make for bright, colourful and delicious shots!  For our 2 year anniversary, Andrew and I went to the Keg (thanks to a generous...
