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

Welcome Baby Adam!

Hello friends!  I can’t believe how long it’s been since my last posting! Between a family vacay to NYC (stay tuned!), a trip to my hometown to spend some time with family and a little one to care for, blogging has clearly taken a backseat, understandably! However, I have some time now and am excited...

A few weekends ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Graham and Laura, a great couple inquiring about my wedding packages.  From the very beginning of the consultation, I knew that they would be a wonderful couple to work with and was really hoping that they’d decide to ask me to be their wedding photographer!...
