Andrew & Morgan Summer Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
It has been just over a month since Andrew and Morgan shared their love and made their vows in front of their family and friends. They made a beautiful rustic venue out of their family farm. I never imagined a barn could be turned into such a beautiful setting.
The morning started with the girls getting ready at the Retro Suites here in Chatham. You cannot [...]
2021 Year in Review Post | Tanya Sinnett Chatham Kent Wedding & Family Photographer
Usually around the New Year I put together a blogpost for my Year in Review. I like to look back over the last year as it can go by in a blur, especially during the busy warmer months. I was a little late with putting together my blogpost this year, I honestly just liked having a break from my computer. Putting the post together has been fun and made me smi[...]
Glen & Leighara Links of Kent Chatham Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham Kent Wedding Photographer
I'm thrilled to share some images from Glen & Leighara's wedding day. The two of them got married on a beautiful September afternoon in Chatham Kent. There was still COVID restrictions and limitations but the two of them took it like the champs they are and made the day their own. I believe their motto was, "it is what it is". Nothing was going to stop t[...]
2020 Year in Review | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer
I always love looking back and putting together my Year in Review blogpost. Thinking about the ups and downs 2020 provided has me feeling super impressed. Not just with myself for rolling with the punches, but for my couples who have had to make all sorts of changes and adjustments to their wedding plans. I have been so lucky and I have the most amazing cli[...]
Mat & Samantha Wedding Day | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
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[...]
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. Little did I know they had a big adventure to share with me. Pat had purposed to my Mom on the balcony of their room. It had been something he was planning to do for some time, he was waitin[...]
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. From the little touches of decor that made the venue theirs, the pictures of them growing up, the doughnut wedding cake, the unique flowers they had designed by Syd Kemsley Florist, their personal hashtag they created #TheBradleysPerfectlyBlended, the laughter...[...]
Pierre & Kim Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Pierre and Kim...Kim and Pierre...where do I even begin to describe these two and the fun we had at their engagement session. From our first meeting at a local coffee shop I knew we would get along perfectly. They not only got my sense of humour and laughed at my jokes but they were equally hilarious themselves. I am pretty sure we became bff's during their [...]
Darren & Jodi Downtown Chatham Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Jodi and Darren had booked the afternoon off from work and were driving in from Leamington for their engagement session. Sure enough it was a rainy day and no option to reschedule. What were we to do? We went with it. I had some umbrellas in the back of my car and we just had fun playing and dancing in the rain. I loved how willing the two of them were to ge[...]
Kyle & Kate's Country Barn Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
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. I can say these two have a knack for picking extreme weather situations for their photography sessions. We did their engagement photos on a very frigid December afternoon.
Kates dress was so elegant and absolu[...]
Keely and Emmi | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Family Photographer
How lucky am I to have had the opportunity to photograph these sisters before another school year starts. These gorgeous girls are home for the summer and their Mom wanted to make sure we could fit in a photography session.

Mike & Crystal Engagement and Family Photos | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
We ended up with a beautiful Sunday evening for Mike and Crystals engagement session. It was iffy with a rain storm in the afternoon but we waited it out and were lucky enough to have a dry session. This is the wettest Spring I can recall. The farmers are still trying to plant and we are already into June.
For Mike and Crystals engagement photos they brough[...]
Isherwood Family | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer
I had the pleasure of meeting up with one of my past Bride & Grooms last weekend for an extended family session. Jackie and Rob were married in at the Retro Suites Hotel in the Summer of 2017. It's so hard to believe their wedding was almost two years ago. You can have a look back at their Chatham-Kent Summer Wedding here.
This family session was bo[...]
A Portrait Session with Hunter | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer
What a super fun idea Hunters Mom had to capture this meaningful time for them. Hunter is a passionate dancer. This was a great opportunity to document this time in his life by scheduling me for a photography session. The Retro Suites Hotel located in Downtown Chatham, Ontario made for the perfect backdrop.
I started with some beautiful portraits of this [...]

They held their ceremony on the patio of The Links of Kent. The golf course makes a[...]
Tristan & Samantha Downtown Chatham Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Of course we faced a day of rain leading up to their engagement session. We made the decision to go forward with their photography session but changed their original Erieau location for Downtown Chatham. I think it worked perfectly. As soon as I saw Samm walking towards me in her pale blue dress I smiled. I loved the way it looked with the colourful Retro Su[...]
Austin & Kim Chatham Kent Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Where to start? Austin and Kim are one of those couples you know were definitely made for each other. You could feel their love and respect they each held for the other. From the way Austin would glance at Kim. To how Kim would softly look at him. How they were able to make each other laugh and their hands automatically reached for each other. It was magical[...]
Downtown Chatham Family Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer
Miss Carrie used to be my daycare provider back when my youngest was...young ;) My children adored her as well as her children. A warm loving lady that always has the best interest of the children in mind.
I was so excited to catch up with her family on her recent photography shoot here in Downtown Chatham. The children have grown so much since I have seen [...]
Brett & Gena Winter Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer
Where do I even begin with Brett & Gena's blogpost? These two are an amazing couple surrounded by just as amazing friends and family. The best part is how thankful they are to have them around. All throughout their wedding day they kept saying how lucky they were to have the friends and family they do.
The two of them made me feel like one of their gro[...]

Miss A has a fabulous imagination,[...]
Nate & Cheryl-Lynn Get Married | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
I had a fantastic time photographing the Wedding of Cheryl-Lynn and Nate. The two of them have an amazing sense of homour and zest for life. We had a lot of laughs together the day of their wedding as well as during their engagement session this fall. Both of them (Nate) are Star Wars fans and incorporated a little Star wars fun into their day. Part of me wa[...]

Galen & Marianna Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
I was so excited to photograph Galen and Marianna's fall wedding here in Chatham at the Retro Suites Hotel. The two of them were a blast to work with and many laughs were shared throughout the day. Some of their plans may have been adjusted thanks to Mother Nature but the two of them took it in stride.
I think the best wedding advice I can give to people is[...]
Mike & Kerri-Lynn Engagement | Tanya Sinnett Engagement Photographer Chatham-Kent
I was thrilled to photograph Mike and Kerri-Lynn for their engagement photos. Bonus, they included their fur baby Bella for some pictures. Originally we had planed to go to Wilson's Conservation Area for their engagement session but since we had days of rain leading up to it we decided to stick to downtown Chatham. I'm so happy we did. We didn't get muddy or[...]

Chris and Sabrina like many others had a memorable wedding day. They planned all the details for their special day from afar with the help of Kim, a wedding planer at Blossoming Dream.

Jason and Sarah planned for a Spring Wedding. Last weekend in Chatham-Kent we had every season you could imagine. Sunshine, snow and rain. It made for a beautiful and exciting day.
When we first met to discuss their wedding details we had already planned to do most of their wedding pictures inside. The Retro Suites in Downtown Chatham makes a perfect settin[...]
John & Jessica's Spring Wedding | Chatham, On
This weeks blog post is coming in on a Thursday, so with it being a Thursday I thought I would throw it back, way back to a year ago.
John and Jessica got married in Chatham last April. It was a gorgeous overcast (those are my favourite) type of day.
The morning was relaxed and fun and lots of laughs were shared while the girls got their hair and make[...]
