Creating heirlooms that honor love, celebrate family, and capture genuine moments of your story
Toledo photographer
Every love story is unique, woven together by heartfelt moments, cherished connections, and the beauty of everyday life. At Amy Simkus Photography, I believe in preserving these moments with intention, transforming them into timeless heirlooms that honor love and celebrate family. With a refined, artistic approach, I capture the genuine essence of my clients ... whether through the fleeting emotions of a wedding day or the quiet authenticity of a portrait session. More than just photographs, my work tells a story - your story - crafted with sophistication, romance, and an editorial touch that stands the test of time.

I am a social worker turned photographer born and raised in Northwest Ohio, near Toledo. My husband and I love raising our family near the Lake Erie shore and appreciate the beautiful surroundings of our region. An empath at heart, I am a believer in being a good human, being inclusive, and think the world would be a better place with a little more kindness, acceptance, and love toward one another. When I am not focused on creating art, I enjoy activities with my children, singing in the church choir, and remodeling our rural farmhouse.
I'm Amy
Toledo wedding & Portrait photographer
Moments are often gone instantaneously. I want my clients to walk away with imagery that reminds them of what it felt like to be in that very moment - uninterrupted and full of emotion. I want them to see these moments captured in print to relive over and over again.
