Wedding Photography

I truly do not have enough good things to say about April. She and her husband made taking all of our photos not only fun but easy as well. I am someone who has always felt unphotogenic and I was worried about if I would like my wedding photos. I have never felt more beautiful - all of the photos turned out absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a photographer in the Fredericksburg area -you will not be disappointed. She is so kind, made the process extremely easy, and showed up on time/was very responsive. I am so glad I chose her to do my photography.

April is the best!

I contacted April on a short notice about my wedding day. She was not only super responsive but made the process seamless. She arrived early to the wedding start time, was professional and captured amazing photos. She was kind, took good direction when organizing family shots and made me feel so comfortable. Looking through the unedited images I was amazed at how many were already so nice that didn’t even require editing. She has a true eye and talent with the camera. I cannot say enough great things about my experience and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

Amazing to work with

Absolute best photographer I’ve worked with. She’s so friendly and fun. She makes you feel comfortable. Her pictures are incredible and I love showing them off! She’s done my engagement party, wedding, and maternity. I won’t go to anyone else.

April Rose's artistry captures every precious moment!

April Rose has been our family photographer for about five years, and we have always been extremely happy with her photos. She is so kind, patient, sensitive, talented, and fun, all the qualities you would want to see in your photographer! With such touching and loving pictures, she captured my two daughters’ weddings (same day in 2018) in a small home ceremony in the presence of their father in his last days, pictures that we will treasure forever. Now, a year and a half later, my daughter, Allison, and her husband Jason celebrated their wedding at a lovely peaceful venue in Virginia Beach. With bittersweet emotions high amongst the family, April and her partner captured such tender moments, and exhilarating moments, between Allison and Jason. Words cannot describe the perfectly wonderful pictures that they took, as seen in the breath-taking first look images, which brought tears to my eyes. They seemed to instinctively know how to capture every precious moment before, during, and after the wedding ceremony and reception. Not yet a week later, April has the complete gallery of pictures ready to be delivered to Allison and Jason. We love April and her artistry for capturing the most precious moments to give us a lifetime of memories!

April and her partner were so awesome! They really took the time to capture our special day and they were so nice, patient, and professional. You can tell they truly love what they do which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. They were so much fun to work with and our pictures turned out amazing. I would highly recommend and we plan on using April for any future photography needs!

Awesome photographic team!!

April and Brian were absolutely amazing during the whole planning process and on our wedding day. They were both so professional and did such a great job! I was a little stressed and wasn’t sure what kind of pictures/poses or where I wanted the wedding party pictures to be taken and they both took over and made amazing suggestions. They also got pictures of every little detail on our wedding day. We got our pictures back faster then we expected and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. April Rose Photography is worth every penny!

Beach wedding

She was amazing! On time, had unedited pictures for me to see that same night of the wedding. Anything I requested she did. I definitely recommend her for any special occasion.
