Brandon & Lisa Links of Kent Chatham Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Where to begin. I was completely honoured and excited when Brandon and Lisa contacted me about photographing their Wedding.

Mack & Stephanie Erieau Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer
I am still on cloud nine after shooting Mack & Stephanie's recent engagement session in Erieau. You see, it wasn't just any engagement session. Going in to the shoot Stephanie just thought she was having a couples session with her boyfriend Mack. Little did she know, Mack contacted me weeks before the session date to come up with a surprise proposal plan[...]
Colin & Victoria Winter Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
I was so excited that Victoria & Colin wanted to do a winter engagement session. I think the winter season is overlooked far too much. It can create some really beautiful images. I love the way any colour pops against the snow. Plus, if you are having a summer wedding, like these two, it's nice to do your engagement session in a different season.
Let me[...]

Have you ever met two people completely comfortable with each other that they can show their true goofy self? That is Kyle and Rebecca. Not only are they each others hype person but they are the best of silly friends. I knew their wedding day would be full of laughs and it was.

My 2022 Wedding Season started with a bang! I was so excited to work with Mitch and Isabela on their wedding day because I knew what a fun, playful couple they were.

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.

Nothing was going to stop t[...]

I will keep this short and sweet because life is so crazy busy right now. I'm playing catch up and know that Adam and Jessica are eagerly waiting for a sneak peek of their wedding day.

Jeremy & Bridget Wedding Day | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
I’ve been trying to find the time to put together a worthy blogpost for this wonderful couple. If anyone knows a photographer, they know how crazy the fall season is. I feel like when winter hits I’m going to be a bear and hibernate.
Bridget and Jeremy tied the knot in September after their original date had to move because of…COVID. It honestly didn’t dam[...]
Steve & Kourtney Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
I thought I would quickly put a little blogpost together from Steve and Kourtney's recent engagement session. When the fall weather is right it is oh so right. The last few days it has been grey, gloomy and damp. I'm thankful we were able to get out and enjoy a beautiful fall day last week for their engagement session.
This was actually the first time we me[...]
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[...]
Trevor & Alex 2020 Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
2020...the year that shall not be named. It has really done a number on everyone. Every business has been affected and every person in some way.
Trevor and Alex had some big hurdles to overcome when it came to planning their 2020 wedding. What they had envisioned could no longer be the reality and you know what? I think it turned out even better. They both [...]
Matt & Yettie Intimate Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Intimate weddings are where it's at now. I absolutely loved being able to capture Matt and Yettie's special day and look forward to next year where they can share their love with all their friends and family. 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. 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 [...]
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. He was very concerned with Yettie being too cold during the photography session. Together they make for a sweet partnership.
Their session started with me meeting at Matt's parents home. They had me drive [...]
Dan & Jessica Wedding Day | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Dan & Jess had their wedding earlier this month. Jess made a stunning bride and looked like a princess in her wedding dress. Dan certainly cleaned up well and I loved the little touch of wearing pug socks. Of course they had their own pug join them for the ceremony. Buffy was happy to watch her parents tie the knot.
Their ceremony and reception was held[...]
Mat & Sam Engagement Photos | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Mat and Sam rocked their engagement session last week. We met in Blenheim to start their session and ended at one of my favourite locations, Erieau.

Mat and Sam really know what they are doing when it comes to animals.
It may [...]
Chris & Hilary Links of Kent Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
I had the pleasure of photographing Chris and Hilary's Wedding day last week. It was a perfect fall day. The temperature was gorgeous, the fluffy clouds perfect and the love was evident.

Lucas & Amber Wedding Day! {Tanya Sinnett Chatham Kent Wedding Photographer}
Amber and Lucas are an amazing young couple that I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding. It was incredible to watch them together. Amber has a million and one facts stored in her brain and Lucas just smiles and looks at her in awe as she retrieves any of them during a conversation. He holds the car (or in their case truck) door open for her to get[...]
Tristan & Samantha Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Two weeks ago I had the privilege of photographing Samantha and Tristan's wedding at the gorgeous Links of Kent Golf Club. Months of planing go into your special day but what you can't plan for is Mother Nature. Rain was in the forecast (like every day it seems) and their outdoor ceremony needed to be moved inside. Thank goodness it was, the worst of the s[...]
Dan & Jess Port Stanley Engagement Photos | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
How could I say no when Dan and Jess asked me to do their engagement session in Port Stanley Ontario? This was a special location for them. They have had many date nights and walks with their beloved pup Buffy. Buffy was pretty thrilled to be back at their date spot. She was running around on her leash back and forth across the sand. I wish I had a quarter o[...]
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.

For Mike and Crystals engagement photos they brough[...]
Steven & Carlee Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
What a Spring we've been having here in Southern Ontario. We've had so many rain days that I'm about ready to build an ark. Thankfully Mother Nature decided to be kind to us last week for Steven and Carlee's Engagement Photos. The sun even decided to come out for us.
I met with Steven and Carlee at Two Creeks Conservation Area in Wheatley Ontario for their[...]

Ryan & Amy Wallaceburg Wedding | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Wedding Photographer
Ryan & Amy got married this Fall. If you recall we had a very wet Autumn. It seemed as though it rained every single Saturday. This one was no different.

Thankfully the Sydenham Curling Club was where their reception was to be held and offer[...]

Kyle and Nikki recently got married at the Rochester Place Golf Course & Resort in Belle River. It was my first time photographing at this location.

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[...]
Ian & Jocelyn Engagement Session | Tanya Sinnett Chatham-Kent Photographer
I had the pleasure of photographing Ian and Joceyln for their engagement photos. This is actually the first time they have had professional photos taken together.

It is very clear how much[...]
