Amy Pinder Photography is an Ottawa photographer specializing in weddings, maternity, newborn and lifestyle photography.  Katie and Alex’s Stonefields Estate wedding is a day that I’ve been looking forward to for so long! When Katie first reached out to me to tell me of her engagement and to ask if I was available to be her wedding photographer, I dropped everything I was doing and ran straight to my calendar to check! I actually met Katie a few years back at Alisha and Matt‘s wedding and have kept in touch with her through social media ever since that day – in fact, I conside ..read more

Private waterfront ceremony with golf course wedding reception at Loch March These photos of Lindsay and Kyle’s Loch March Golf Club wedding (or as some like to call it ‘the day the weather couldn’t make up its mind’…more to come on this soon…) was a total dream to be a part of! Like so many other weddings in 2021, celebrating this wedding in the second summer of COVID felt – at times – like an impossibility…and the idea of a live band and a dance floor packed with people was an even crazier idea! But it happened, and mannn, does it ever feel good to see friends and family having f ..read more

Ceremony house wedding in September at Stonefields Christie and Trevor’s little white chapel wedding at Stonefields was our final wedding of the 2022 season and boyyyy was it a goodie! I don’t usually cry at weddings…I’m guessing that’s because I’m usually laser focused on getting the perfect shot that I don’t always have time to stop and listen to what the bride and groom are saying in their vows…(sorry guys, haha, it just comes with the job). For some reason tho – maybe because of the intimacy of the ceremony house at Stonefields – I was pulled in to listen to what Christie and Trevor ..read more

Horse ranch wedding photos with a burgundy colour and floral theme When I first heard about Kenzie’s parent’s property and Kenzie and Jay’s plans to celebrate their backyard wedding on their family’s horse farm, a vision of their day popped into my head. I imagined casual elegance, a pop-up tent, and quite obviously – after having met these two – a full-blown party with dancing and celebrations ALL. NIGHT. LONG. Wellllll, some of that was true (let me tell you right now, I have never seen a dance floor so packed with line dancers and people ready to have a good time)!…but boy, was I blo ..read more

Backyard wedding reception after 2 years of Pandemic delays So excited to be sharing images from Olivia and Kenzie’s backyard wedding reception today, or – as we like to call it, “Wedding 2.0”! If you’re a regular to the blog, you might recognize Olivia and Kenzie – ’cause well, this is the fourth time they’ve been behind my lens! Like so many couples who planned to get married in 2020, delays and postponements completely upturned the plans that Kenzie and Olivia had made for their backyard wedding in Mountain, Ontario. Fortunately, they went ahead with a ‘micro wedding’ in 2020, a ..read more

An elegant Downtown Ottawa wedding at the National Arts Centre Ali and Jeremy planned the most beautiful Downtown Ottawa NAC wedding you could imagine! Even while the Ontario derecho storm rolled through the province and caused massive city-wide power outages that knocked down power lines and full-grown trees! If you’re a resident of Ontario, you know exactly which day I’m referring to and I’m willing to bet that you remember exactly where you were when the storm hit your own town. It’s hard to believe how many people were affected (and are still affected) by the storm an ..read more

Barn wedding venue in Almonte with peach and pink bouquets This is kind of hard to believe, but after having been a full-time wedding photographer in Ottawa for over 8 years, these Evermore wedding pictures are from our first ever visit to the Evermore property! There’s a pattern with most vendors, you see, where we tend to work at the same venues over and over again, which is likely due to couples finding posts (much like this one!) after searching for their wedding venue and coming across our pictures. This is totally awesome 99% of the time, but I have been dying to shoot a wedding at Eve ..read more

Married on a dock overlooking the St. Lawrence River in Brockville Being invited to Katie and Mitch’s Brockville wedding as their photographer meant the world to me! In all honesty, this day wasn’t just a typical work day for me, it was also a reunion with old friends, which made my experience of their day all the more special! I think that’s a pretty powerful theme of 2021 in general, where we’ve finally had the opportunity to reunite with friends and family again after months apart during the pandemic, and this day was that for me, and more! One of Katie’s bridesmaids is my childhood besti ..read more

A mauve wedding at Amberwood Golf Club Lounge and Eatery Looking back through Sheridan and Logan’s ALE wedding pictures at Amberwood Golf Club makes me so happy! They truly bring me back to some of my happiest memories from this summer and I’m reminded of how emotional and wonderful the day was for everyone there. If I’m being honest, I don’t usually cry on wedding days…I can usually keep it together…but I actually balled while witnessing Logan’s reaction to seeing Sheridan for the first time at their first look…and then again for their ceremony too! Maybe it just caught me off guard (S ..read more
