I'm Amy Pinder!
I USED TO 'PHOTOGRAPH' DNA! True story! I was a lab nerd, working with pipettes and microscopes throughout the work week, and shooting weddings on the weekend (...and if you're picturing me in a lab coat right now, that's totally accurate)!! It was there - at the University of Guelph - where I met my husband - Shaun, fell in love, and started a business that would quickly become more than a job, but a passion for creating and spending time with happy people on the best day of their lives!
I've also learned that shiny hardwood floors and long bridesmaid dresses do NOT make a great combination!! On the morning of our wedding, one of my bridesmaids actually slipped down the stairs during bride prep and had to be rushed to the hospital...Amazingly, she was alright - "only one broken bone!!" - and still made it on time for the ceremony, thanks in part to a delayed shuttle, which made us arrive 20 minutues after the ceremony was due to begin!! Gulp!!
From this, I learned 2 important lessons: 1) wearing a bridesmaids dress to the ER will get you through twice as fast; 2) things WILL go wrong on your wedding day, but they always have a way of working themselves out! Bones will heal and shuttles will (eventually!) arrive. What matters most is the person waiting for you at the end of the aisle, and I never want you to forget that!!
