    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!

    April was the not only the best photographer I could hope to find, but she was far and away the best vendor I had for our wedding! She will do just about anything for her clients, and her final product is gorgeous! I constantly get compliments on our wedding photos, and I tell everyone just who's responsible for it! She went out of her way and changed locations for us for our engagement shoot when we had transportation issues and was completely professional about the situation. April is also extremely quick in her editing process, and we received our photos from both the engagement session and the wedding day in 2 weeks or less from the shoot. I am happy to say that I have many beautiful photos of my husband and I that I love to show off, and also love to look at. April did an amazing job of capturing all of our emotions on our special day, and not only is she a talented photographer, I am happy to call her a friend, too. Since booking April, I've had two friends of mine use her services, and they are equally happy! Thank you, April, for providing us with beautiful reminders of our wedding day that Charlie and I can enjoy for a lifetime!

    I am so happy me and my husband hired April to photograph our engagement session and our wedding. We had been scammed by a fraudulent photographer before we stumbled upon April's amazing work- a blessing in disguise! She was 100% available during the planning process and her editing turn around time is incredible!! From the details to the candid moments, she captured our wedding beautifully! She continues to amaze me with her work and I am excited to see what she has in store. I can't wait to have babies so April can photograph them!

    April is by far one of the most talented and professional photographers I have ever met. She has an eye for capturing the perfect shot every time. It was such a joy to work with her and her assistant on our day. Nothing was rushed or pushed or uncomfortable. She was able to catch simple moments that will tell a story for years to come. Our beach wedding pictures are simply amazing and I continue to receive compliments on her work. She went above and beyond all expectations. The mix of black/white and colored photos that were taken are just beautiful. DO NOT pass her up if your date is available on her calendar!!

    When planning a wedding, there are so many big decisions to make- colors, location, dates, food, and photography to name a few. For most of us, this is a once in a lifetime event, so all we have to base our choices on is recommendations from others. That is why we decided to help others by leaving our own review for April. I knew that above all else I wanted a quality photographer, because after everything else fades the pictures are there to remind you of every detail of your wedding day. I had looked at several photographers and was almost ready to sign a contract when April messaged me about her business that she had just started up in Virginia. As soon as I saw the first picture on her website, I knew her photography was the style that I had imagined in my head, but couldn’t quite find in any other local photographer. I made sure to book her immediately! Let me fast forward to the wedding day. As a reserved person, I was worried I would feel uncomfortable with a stranger taking my photo all day. All my concerns disappeared the moment April came knocking at our door. I almost didn’t even notice her presence while I was concentrating on getting ready which, as any bride can attest to, is an awesome quality on her part. During the ceremony as well she stayed in the background as to not draw attention away from our wedding mass. Next were the formal family shots. I give so much credit to her for being able to get all the shots we wanted of our big family. Lastly, during the ceremony, she took at least an hour with us outside just photographing my husband and me. April is so talented in all the areas you’d expect of a wedding photographer- beautiful detail shots, clear action shots (on the dance floor), great formals where everyone looks relaxed and natural, and GORGEOUS shots of the couple. For those of you on a budget, I did A LOT of research, and for the quality of her photos, you won’t find anyone more economical than April. On a personal level, April is such a wonderful person to work with. She was flexible, and fun, and even offered to stay past the time frame we paid her for so she could make sure to capture some reception traditions that had been pushed back later in the night that we had planned. She was prompt in returning any questions we had. She also posted 5 or 6 edited pictures the morning after the wedding!!! What other photographer does that?! No one wants to wait months to see their wedding pictures- April didn’t even make me wait 24 hours. Her final photographs were delivered in a pretty box on a personalized DVD. I am so thrilled with her work. Lastly, if this review has not convinced you, please do yourself a favor and check out her blog/website/facebook page! April is a true talent and my husband and I feel blessed to have had her capture our wedding day. Thank you April!

    April Renee Photography is the best investment we made for our whole wedding. We have memories to last us a lifetime. She captured everything! April knew exactly what we wanted. We got poses and candids and everything inbetween,and we couldn't be happier! April was easy to deal with. She kept in touch during the whole planning process and answered any questions we had! We would recommend April and her business to anyone!

    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!

    April Renee Photography is absolutely amazing! April is very personable and incredibly talented! Her techniques and editting style is very romantic, whimsical, and flattering for all individuals which is what I love most about her work. I originally booked April to do my bridal portraits and wedding photos this February; we loved her and her work so much we have booked her for other sessions including summer family photos, my maternity pictures, and soon to be babies newborn photos! I can't say enough great things about April! Our growing family looks forward to working with April for many years to come!

    April did a great job capturing our wedding day. She was quick to respond to any questions and super flexible when we were indecisive about our engagement shoot location and wedding day schedule. At the wedding we barely even noticed she was there, yet she managed to capture every special moment. We love our wedding and engagement photos and would hire April again in a heartbeat!

    From the very first moment we sat down with April, we knew she would be absolutely wonderful to work with! Her kind and easy going personality suited us perfectly and her past work completely drew us in. We had so much fun during our engagement session and the pictures turned out even better than we could have hoped for! She helped make us feel comfortable in front of the camera and laughed with us along the way! Throughout our entire engagement period, April was extremely responsive and always reached out to share our excitement as the big day got closer! She helped capture our wedding day perfectly and worked seamlessly with all of our other vendors! When looking back at our photos, she truly helped us relive our wedding day all over again. For that, we cannot thank her enough!

    A close friend actually recommended April to me. I LOVED my friend's wedding photos and contacted April about setting up our engagement photos. After we were so pleased with those, we decided to use April as our wedding photographer. We live in Richmond, but got married in Arizona which was no problem for April! She flew out and captured our special day seamlessly, despite not being familiar with the setting, light, bright sun, etc. She has a great eye and is very talented. We even got the pleasure of seeing her work at our wedding get published on different websites -- so neat!! We've continued to use April for our family holiday shoots and will continue to do so as our family grows. Expect nothing but the best from her!

    April is so kind hearted and professional. She is very easy to work with and truly is so talented when it comes to photography. We were so happy with our engagement and wedding photos. She was very quick with her turnaround time as well. I highly recommend April for any of your photography needs. We look forward to using her again in the future.

    I know at lot of couples that took the cheap route on their photographer and they hate their wedding pictures, I adore our photos and I adore April, We are expecting a baby in the fall and I plan use April again for our family/newborn pictures.
