Tanya Sinnett Photography

I tell ya, the last month has gone by in a blur. If you know a photographer please give them a hug because fall is a little crazy for them. By hug, I mean virtual of course because...COVID. Sam and Mat had to pivot to make their wedding day dreams come true. Like so many couples this year things haven't gone quite the way they imagined. I love how they re-i[...]

Deacon Family Photography Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer

The next two months are pretty crazy busy. That's how it goes as a photographer. Some weeks nothing and other weeks you are scrambling to fit everyone it. I'll take the busy. In the meantime, let me share some of my favourite images from the Deacon family shoot. They honestly were so fun to work with and I like to think they thought I was pretty funny.

Shane & Amanda Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

It's no secret that I love engagement sessions. I pry and want to hear all the details about how the proposal went, if someone was surprised, how you met etc. I adore seeing the inside jokes and really getting to know my clients. Often the engagement session is the first time we work together. Not for Shane and Amanda, I did a family session with them in 201[...]

Matt & Yettie Intimate Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

Intimate weddings are where it's at now.

COVID may have changed their plans for their wedding day but it didn't change their love and really that's what is most important. Matt and Yettie we[...]

Pat & Brenda Downtown Chatham Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

When my Mom and her boyfriend Pat came home from their cruise a few weeks ago, I had them over for dinner. I wanted to see pictures and hear all about their adventures.

Mike & Crystal Links of Kent Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

There are so many things that come to mind when I think back to Mike and Crystals Wedding Day.

Matt & Yettie Petrolia Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer

I loved getting to know Matt and Yettie at their recent engagement photo session. Yettie is so out going and exuding sunshine. Matt is quiet and gentle.

I'm so happy to share Kyle & Kate's beautiful Country Church Wedding. Their wedding day was held on a sweltering fall weekend. Yes...sweltering.
