    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!

    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!

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.

    Photography was the most important thing to me in my wedding and April delivers. She also did my engagement session as well and made us feel so comfortable. She went above and beyond to make us happy and we could never thank her enough. She responds quickly with questions and her websites are very user friendly. I have recommended her several times to family and friends and will continue to do so. We plan to continue the relationship and do a Christmas card shoot this winter!

    From the first email to the end of the wedding April was wonderful to work with!!! She is so so nice and extremely talented! She is super quick to respond, and always on time! It felt so comfortable taking pictures with her, all of my bridal party said how wonderful she was, and I'm still getting comments from guests almost a month later saying how much they loved her! She put up the sneak peak before our honeymoon!!! She also put all if the pictures up on her site with private viewing for our families and friends so they can buy prints, which is excellent!!! And when we got back, our cd with all if the pictures was home waiting for us!!! Super quick!!! The pictures are OUTSTANDING!!!! I truly love all of them (and there is a ton!) She captured everything we wanted and every special moment. We feel si lucky we had her do our pictures!!! She is by far the best photographer I have ever met!!!!

    April was wonderful! She was easy to work with and gave us amazing pictures that were both artsy and classic. She made us feel comfortable. I was most impressed when I came into the bridal room and she had already arranged all my accessories like I wanted and was taking pictures. Loved her! Even though I live six hours away from her, I may make the six hour drive sometime for her to take more pictures.

    I had a wonderful experience with April Renee Photography. Her patience and professionalism was very appreciated photography on the wedding day. She was a complete pleasure to work with throughout the process. Not to mention, her photography is incredible and I will cherish my wedding photos forever. If I had it to do all over again, I'd choose her again!

    She turned my wedding into a masterpiece. I could not imagine finding a better photographer. She is so easy to work with. She is very accommodating and very affordable. My photos are one of the most perfect things about our Big Day and I am so glad she was able to give us the most beautiful photos to remember it by. Thanks a million!

    April Renee is a wonderful person to work with! I normally feel kind of awkward in front of a camera but she made me feel very comfortable! My wedding was the night right after a hurricane and we didn't have any electricity, people were coming late because of road conditions, but April was there on time when she said that she would be. Thank you April!

    April was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding photographer. She was so helpful throughout the whole planning process and was so sweet from the day I contacted her. She answered so many questions about VA beach for me because I was planning from PA. She even helped determine our wedding date.. only because I trusted her so much. She took amazing pictures and did everything to please my husband and I on the day of our wedding. Her pictures took my breathe away when I finally got to see them and they are now displayed all throughout my house. I would recommend April to anyone looking for a photographer in her area. She has an amazing talent and I personally think pictures are one of the most important wedding day investments!

    April is wonderful! She took our engagement, my bridal and our wedding day photos and I was more than pleased with the results. She was very attentive to what we wanted our photos to include and her turn around time on the final photos was so quick! I highly recommend April.

    I absolutely adore April! She is extremely talented and will do whatever it takes to get the shot she wants (including standing in the middle of the road). At the last minute I added her husband Justin as a second shooter for the wedding, and I’m so happy I did. Together, April and Justin are a dynamic duo. Everyone keeps raving about how gorgeous my wedding photos are. I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture my wedding day.

    April was absolutely wonderful! I have had so many compliments on my photography! The pictures are probably one of my favorite parts from the wedding! She is amazing!

    We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our special day. April went above and beyond. Our pictures turned out amazing. Not only is April the absolute professional, but she is extremely fun and easy to work with. She was so attentive from the first time we contacted her. Everyone that has seen our pictures cant stop commenting on how great they look. We honestly feel greatful that we had her as our photographer for our wedding and would recommend her to anyone.

    Renee did an amazing job on the pictures of our wedding. She has great ideas for poses and she captured things that I never would have thought about. She was an amazing help at providing us with a keepsake to keep the memories live. She did everything in good time. All of the paper work went smooth and fast, she showed up early so she could get a good look at the placement of everything, she fit in with everyone and she had a quick return on our pictures. I will use her again in the next important event in my life.

    My now husband and I searched long and hard for a photographer, I am not one to settle for just anyone. We stopped our search as soon as we met April, we loved her work! She was nice and flexible with our wierd schedules. We took our engagement pictures with her and she was willing to go where ever we wanted. I don't know how she did it, but the day of the wedding she was everywhere and didn't miss a single moment! She gave us all of the pictures from the day (1000+) and they were all spectacular. Everyone who sees them compliments them. A friend that I recommended April to just had her wedding and her pictures are amazing as well! We will be coming back for more pictures sessions down the line!

    For anyone looking for a wedding photographer April is the best!!! She is unbelievable priced for the quality and value of her services! Every picture she took was amazing and it was impossible to pick which ones to print out and put in frames because they were all so great. She has a very creative style and is guaranteed to give you a million shots to fall in love with and display. I would recommend her to anyone i know looking for a photographer for any event or occasion!

    April is absolutely amazing-- I feel like I cannot recommend her highly enough! She really has a talent for capturing moments on film. If you take a moment to review her portfolio, right away you'll see that she has a unique eye and really artistic, creative editing skills. My wedding photos look like a fairytale! I couldn't be more pleased.

    Not only is April incredibly talented, she is also extremely cool. The wedding photos were so important to me that this easily could've been been a stressful part of the wedding-- but April immediately put me at ease! Taking the photos was actually a lot of fun!

    Also, April was SPEEDY in getting the photos back to us! The next day, April had already posted a "sneak peek" on her blog (which pretty much had me squealing I was so excited lol)-- I really appreciated that. I got married August 21st and I had ALL of my pictures back by the first week of September. Just awesome!

    Where do I begin? April is WONDERFUL! She did both our engagement session and our wedding - we couldn't have been happier with either! She was great at keeping in touch prior to the sessions/event and was VERY flexible with timing. We re-scheduled the engagement session numerous times until it was the perfect time for both of us. Also, prior to the events, April took it upon herself to scout the perfect picture locations for our portraits. From the beginning, she understood my "vision" and went out of her way to capture that in her pictures. On the wedding day, she provided the perfect balance of making sure we got all of the shots we wanted, while still being unobtrusive. My mom even commented that April wasn't what she expected based on all I had told her about my conversations with April. I told her that is exactly how a photographer is supposed to be at a wedding - outgoing and enthusiastic about the planning, but not the first thing you notice during the actual day. I will definitely use her in the future for couple sessions!

    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!!

    April photographed our wedding in September 2010 and was AMAZING! We interviewed several photographers and she by far offered the best quality and value. I don't consider myself to be very photogenic and I am not normally comfortable being photographed but April totally put us at ease and we had a lot of fun working with her. And the photos are beautiful. The color shots are very vivid and the b&w shots are so classy. Granted I am biased but our family and friends were blown away by the photos too (even guys!). On top of her skill, April was very unobtrusive during our wedding, unlike other photographers who are sometimes very in your face. And she.even sent us a few photos the day after our wedding which.was a great touch and she followed up quickly with the full cd of photos. We love that we own the photos and did not have to go through a proof book and order individual photos. I could go on and on as I only have great things to say about April. Obviously I highly recommend her as a photographer!

    April Renee is an amazing photographer! She did our engagement session and the pictures came out fantastic. Then when me and my husband got married she was our wedding photographer. In my opinion she went above and beyond her photographer duties. She arrived early to the bridal suite, started taking pictures of the decor, my bouquet and such. Then I started running late due to a dress malfunction, April jumped right in to help me! She didn't have to help, she could've of stayed on the sidelines like most photographers, but that's not April. April is very kind and helpful and is more than just an average photographer. She is willing to listen to ideas and is very patient. April also did our family photo session, and we couldn't of been happier. Her prices of very reasonable for her work and I would recommend her to anybody. Overall me and my husband absolutely love her and I'm sure everyone else will too.

    April was very easy to work with. The colors of her photos are so saturated, and the black & white photos so elegant.

    Our wedding pictures have an industrial ruins motif, like nothing I've seen before. The wedding was outdoors in a courtyard of old tobacco warehouses in Richmond, VA. Afterwards, April took photos of us in the alley. The red brick of the old buildings were gorgeous against my oyster-colored dress and the grooms officer's uniform. We used our motorcycle as a prop. Then April followed us to the Jefferson Hotel for a few more shots before dinner. The "reception" photos were done a month later at our cocktail party at a fancy downtown restaurant. April was incredibly accommodating.

    The photos turned out so well that my husband's workplace showed April's Facebook "sneak peak" of our wedding photos at a board meeting on a Power Point presentation!

    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 is a FABULOUS photographer! My husband and I booked April for our engagement pictures and wedding. Our engagement pictures were taken in DC and were beautiful! April has a great eye and is very creative. She also listens to your ideas and to what you want out of your pictures. She has a great personality which is an added bonus. As far as our wedding pictures are concerned, they turned out even better than I had hoped. April and her husband (as a second photographer) captured our wedding perfectly. The pictures were beautiful and I can't thank April enough. My advice for future brides is to BOOK APRIL! You'll thank me afterwards.
