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

 

Michael and Amy Tie the Knot! ♥

On August 7th, 2010, I had the opportunity to shoot the wedding of Michael and Amy Gervasi.  They had an absolutely picture perfect day–the sun was shining, it wasn’t humid and the skies were blue!  On top of that, everyone looked amazing!!  The bride of course was radiant and you could see how happy both of them were to be saying “I do!”  This is definitely reflected in their photos! Amy and Michael, thank you for inviting me to be a part of your special day–all the best for a lifetime of happiness together!!

Here are a few teasers!

Here are a few shots we did of just our handsome couple at a quiet spot just around the corner from the church!  They both looked amazing and were great to work with–down to earth, easy-going and very fun loving!

I love this one!

The guys all looked very dapper  (purple was the colour of the day!!)

and the ladies looked stunning!  Those purple dresses were lovely!

I love this shot too–just as Amy came into the church as was about to make her way down the aisle…so sweet!

Another really sweet capture–I love how the people in the background are looking at them smiling :)

Post-ceremony, amidst the activity, Michael and Amy steal a quick kiss!

And what would a wedding be without fabulous flowers??

Amy’s bouquet was absolutely gorgeous too!!  One of the prettiest bouquets I’ve seen in a while! ( Though, I may be biased because my bouquet was actually made up of white, pink and green orchids, purple callas and cream roses too–she’s got great taste!!)

She also had this antique locket attached to her bouquet with photos of her grandmas (if I’m not mistaken)–a lovely touch and very heartfelt!

I guess you can tell I adore flowers and love photographing them even more!

Unfrotunately, there was a mishap with the cake–not sure exactly what happened, but parts were somewhat melted and some of the fondant cracked–however, we just shot the cake’s good side!  Still looks good to me!!

And last but not least (for now!) –a shot of Amy’s funky purple shoes!! Such a great splash of colour and a fun touch that matched her personality perfectly!

Thank you Amy and Mike once again–hope you had an amazing time in Italy and best wishes once again for a long and happy life together, filled with many blessings and much joy!!
