Wonderful job, awesome experience!

Such AMAZING pictures - from our engagement photos to the big day, April was perfect. She is so sweet, accommodating, and easy to work with. She drove all the way from Franklin to our home on a weeknight last minute to do our engagement photos! And then she captured all the best moments from our wedding day - I literally can’t decide which ones are my favorite because she did such a great job. HIGHLY recommend!!! One of our favorite people to work with throughout the whole wedding process. I hope she will work with us again in the future!

Best Photographer I Have Ever Worked With!

Oh em gee! Can i just start by saying how late i am writing this review. My husband and i were married in 2017 but due to some health issues with our daughter we purchased a house in another state and left Virginia. With everything that has happened in the last two years i have never ever stopped thinking about how much i needed to write this review for April! She is just that good and seriously shame on me for waiting so long to write it. My husband and I waited a very long time to get married.. 10 years waited. We wanted everything to be special and perfect and photography was a big deal for us! I am obsessed with photographs, and i am extremely picky but something about Aprils website just made me reach out! She was amazing from the first email! We wanted something very urban and gritty almost for our engagement sessions and she had no problem with that at all! No matter what we asked for she would say she could make it work, and she would find something perfect to make our vision come true. She did that and more! And can i please tell you how she kicked some dog poo out the way of a shot because she loved the spot so much. like seriously kicked poo in her beautiful flats lol!! I mean come on, she is seriously a BOSS haha, so down to earth, and just an amazing soul! I dont know how God packed so much personality into this tiny woman but we absolutely love her! My wedding guests loved her! And my wedding album is breathtaking due to all her hard work! April i wish we were still in the Virginia Area because we would book you for a family session in a heart beat lol! We wish you all the success in the world and trust and believe anyone in the DMV area who asks us about photography we scream your name all the way from New York lol! Thank you so much for everything you did for us! And im so sorry this took so long!

P.S. i hope the kiddos, and especially your eldest is doing well! XoXo Victoria & Ray!

5 stars for April!!!

My husband and I were so blessed to have April as part of our wedding this past October- as well as our engagement photos & my bridal photos earlier this year. April was always coming up with great, new, and fun ideas to capture the perfect photo. We are still in awe of the amazing details that were captured during our wedding day. We cannot thank April enough for all of her hard work, time, and energy to make our photos come out better than we ever dreamed! We look forward to using April on many more occasions in the future! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts April for the perfect memories!

Truly a dream come true!!!

Just wow!!! April did my husband and I’s engagement photos in January and then our wedding this past November! From the moment we met her it had been nothing short of amazing. Right from the start we knew she was extremely talented, very kind, down to earth, and very professional. Then we got to see her again for our wedding and she truly took our dream and made it into reality. She is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING at what she does and the photos come out perfectly to show for it. I couldn’t be happier with our photo gallery and am counting all my blessing that I chose her to document our perfect day. Lots of love!!!!

Amazing and talented photographer

I cannot even begin to explain how impressed I was with April's work! was referred to her by a close friend, who had great things to say about her work and we could not have have made a better decision. Upon meeting her on our engagement session, I know she would be a great fit. It was like we had been friends forever! April was extremely professional, prompt and genuine to work with- qualities that you NEED to look for when hiring a wedding photographer . Everyone we showed our pictures to have the same comments, "wow, these look like they are straight out of a magazine!" She captured some of the best moments on our wedding day and made us so thankful we chose her! Can't wait to book another session with her in the future!

April did our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, and our wedding this past June and her work is absolutely stunning. She'd shot a few of our friends' weddings and we were already impressed with her work, but once we met with her, we canceled our other photographer appointments. Her personality and professionalism are as wonderful and amazing as her photography work. She instantly makes you feel comfortable, is super friendly and sweet, and super accommodating. She came out in 95-degree weather, braved snakes, and went to two locations for our engagement shots, and was a wonder woman when it came to our wedding. She was there early and stayed until the send-off and didn't stop for one second. It went from clear skies to pouring rain in the middle of our ceremony and she managed to get amazing shots even when everyone was getting drenched. I've seen some weddings have two to three photographers, but she's a one-woman show and can do it all. From candid shots, to detailed decor shots, to those special intimate moments, to corraling a rowdy wedding party and setting up creative staged shots, to bending and dodging crazy dancers to get the fun reception shots every photo we got back was superb and beautiful. She captured the moments, the feelings, and excitement. Hire her. You will not regret it. I mean just look at our photos...AMAZING!!!

April is PHENOMENAL. I would choose her over and over again for our day! She is extremely talented, sweet, professional, down to earth, and an absolute gem. She is not just a photographer for your special day, she becomes a friend and breath of calm as well. Thank you, April- we could not have been happier with you as our photographer!
