I really don’t know where to start. There were times when I’m not sure how our wedding would have happened without April Williams Photography.

We met April at a Portland Wedding Show...actually we met her husband first, but the way he sang her praises, combined with the beautiful artistry of how she played with light in her photography, we knew we had to meet her. April’s bright smile and warmth radiated from moment one and never left.

We met with her again later that month to discuss what our vision was for our wedding, packages and budget. She gave us the privacy and space to discuss between ourselves and we were still so wowed over, by not only her talent but April as a person, that we rearranged our budget just so she was our photographer.

Our (original) wedding date was spring of 2020. Two weeks before our event we had to make the decision on whether or not to move forward despite this new thing called “COVID”. April was one of the first people I called. She talked to me for (easily) 15-20 minutes, reminding me that the only thing that mattered was my honey & I and that she’d be there regardless!

After chatting with our other vendors and weighing the want to get married with being safe - we pushed our wedding date to early Autumn 2020 (because there’s no way COVID would still be “a thing”). The week we (re)scheduled for was the week of the large wild fires in Oregon. Once again, we were facing the question of do we move forward; and once again April was there by our side saying she’d support us no matter our decision - at our venue, a back yard wedding or a pajama part in our livingroom with our fur-babies.

We kept to our date but changed venue with a 24-hour notice to our vendors. Didn’t phase April at all. She was there bright and early to scout the new location for the perfect backdrops.

She captured both the tender and silly sides of family, didn’t hesitate to accommodate weird photos requests from me (a Gone with the Wind corset photo and wearing cat ears at our First Look), and managed to turn thr smoke filled air into a magical fairy world of mist and beauty.

April wasn’t just our photographer - she was a therapist, a friend, and our wedding guardian. Booking April Williams was the best decision we made, next to saying Yes to one another. She’ll forever be in my contacts and be our go-to photographer.

April was wonderful to work with! She was the main photographer at a wedding where I did videography, and every minute of working with her was so easy and enjoyable! It's very common to lose touch with fellow vendors after the big day, but April has kept in touch with me ever since and even sent work my way! So grateful to know I have another good friend in this crazy world. Could not recommend her enough for her artist's eye and her wonderful personality! You'll be in great hands hiring her!

April is the absolute best. She is such a great photographer and so fun to work with. The pure joy and fun that she has with every photo shoot makes everything amazing. You cannot go wrong with April!

Every single review that sings her praise is not enough. Our kiddo fell in love with her and the two played the camera up to make every moment shine.

April is absolutely the best photographer we have ever worked with. Quick with responses, joyful, so kind, and really puts in the extra effort. She made out wedding so much fun and the pictures didn't seem like a chore at all, she made the photos fun and just made it flow with all the craziness a wedding can bring. There was a bit of drama with our band on our night and through some unfortunate events, we had to go to small claims court and April showed up with us to support us and even spoke in our behalf. I hope we never have to get married again in our lives, but any and all photography we will need in the future, April will be the first we call! Thank you so much! and the photos turned out exactly how we pictured them in our minds, PERFECT

We had a wonderful experience with April! We were pretty clueless about how wedding photography works, and April patiently and graciously walked us through every step of the process. And her photos are beautiful - we're so happy to have had her as our photographer!

We really loved having April as our wedding photographer. Contagious energy, very personable, and fun to work with! She was very sneaky with some of our most favorite photos and has some very creative ideas. Highly recommend!

We cannot say kind enough words about working with April! I met April at a bridal show in Portland and she was so warm, inviting, and accommodating that I immediately felt comfortable. We met with her at her office (incredibly cute space above a restaurant) a few times throughout the process to discuss our expectations, pricing, logistics, etc, and to look through the pictures today. April did our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and travelled out of state for both with us. She was so professional, got us looking fabulous with many different backdrops in a reasonable time, and was always looking out for the fun/candid pictures. For family pictures, she made sure we got all the shots that we needed/wanted and made everyone comfortable with genuine conversation that flowed. We feel that we got some of the most beautiful and unique photos working with April that fit our style to a T. We wouldn't have changed a thing.

April is amazing! She has made such an impact on my family’s life, we are so grateful to her and the memories she’s captured. We were lucky enough to have met her at a wedding expo and after seeing her portfolio we had to work with her! She’s incredibly talented, hilarious, and makes you feel comfortable instantly. She was SO FLEXIBLE AND HELPFUL during our wedding that happened to be towards the beginning of the chaos of covid. I honestly cannot recommend her enough. We’ve worked with her for our engagement shoot, boudoir shoot, wedding day, and when our baby was born-for newborn pictures! April has been apart of our biggest milestones as a family and the pictures will last a lifetime. Highly recommend!

April helped my now wife and I navigate the pandemic, from a large wedding to cancellation to a backyard wedding. We were so happy with how she helped us understand the process and experience, what we were purchasing, and the finished products we'd own. April has a whole bag of tricks for any lighting situation - meaning she has the right lens and also the right ideas for composition in any given scenario. She was very flexible, adaptable, fun, funny, full of energy, and just a joy to speak with every time we interacted. When it came to the day of the event, she shifted into the next gear and got it done, and was on top of communication and timing. She even helped me figure out some songs to play to get people on the dance floor toward the end of the night! April was a wonderful professional to work with through every step and I can't wait to get our prints!

We love April!! I knew when I got engaged, she was the one I wanted for a wedding photographer! She checked off all the boxes on our list that we wanted in a photographer. Her brilliance with natural lighting and scenery is amazing! She has an amazing eye for detail. Not to mention, she’s the sweetest person you’ll ever meet. We live closer to Seattle, Washington and even though April is based in the Vancouver area, she still went above and beyond to accommodate our needs! She made the process so easy and smooth. She really takes the time to sit with you and go over every detail so that your special day can be just how you pictured it! Thanks to April, we have gorgeous memories to look back on!
