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

 

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 backdrops and settings.  Also, as we began taking photos later in the day, I took full advantage of the setting sun and the warmth ity cast behind us.  Thought I’d share some of my faves from the day here.  Stay tuned for photos a recent “love” session and another baby session.  November has been a busy month and fortunately doesn’t show signs of slowing down just yet!  Hope you like them!

Seeing each other for the first time

Trying to figure out the best way to tie the sash.  The bow was looking to be a bit much

They decided to use this pin, a gift from Ryan, to hold it together.

 You can always capture the most candid and sweet moments of children at a wedding.  Amidst the chaos of getting ready and photo taking, I saw this scene and couldn’t resist capturing the moment.  I’m not sure what they were looking at, but definitely too cute a moment to pass up
