Morgan C. Sent on 01/28/2021Best Decision After Saying Yes
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 Williams Photography's reply:
Morgan, thank you so much!! I love you guys and I'm so glad we found each other and so thankful that this is just the beginning! -

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 Williams Photography's reply:
Sarah! Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your family. I am so, so honored and I love you all so much! -

April Is The Best!
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!April Williams Photography's reply:
Chloe, thank you! You guys were amazing and had the most beautiful of weddings! And, I love this photo! -

Jared H. Sent on 01/05/2022April Williams is such a versatile photographer!
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!April Williams Photography's reply:
Jared! This is so nice, thank you so much! After everything, I love where we landed and think things turned out perfectly! -

Incredible human! Best photographer
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 Williams Photography's reply:
Ashley, seriously, thank you so much! This is so kind of you and I'm really humbled by what you said. Thank you! -

Noemi Sent on 02/20/2020Absolutely Amazing!
I cannot get over how amazing April is.
She is so passionate about her job and it shows in her beautiful pictures! I love how she can envision a picture in her mind and bring it to life in the click of a snap! She was so professional and so easy to work with.
It rained the day of our wedding and our timeline completely changed and April adapted quickly! We still got all the wonderful photos that we will have to cherish forever. We walked around Laurelhurstclub Park for our pictures and April would take a moment, picture something in her mind and then tell us what to do and were to stand. From climbing inside a branch to lakeside strolls, we cannot get over our beautiful pictures. I have recommended her to everyone I know who needs pictures!! Thank you so much, April! -

I cannot say enough good things about April. Beautiful photography and listened to what we wanted and delivered so much more than I expected. 🙌🏼 Not only did she capture our day with timeless photos, but her personality and professionalism for the ceremony and problem solving went above and beyond. Besides marrying my husband, hiring April was the best decision I made for my wedding. ❤️ -

We Love Her!!
April is an amazing human being that is incredibly talented!! She was there every step of the way and took phenomenal photos!! She was super helpful, and even helped pin back my hair (I forgot bobby pins, but she didn't) and reminded us how to bustle my dress. I honestly cannot believe the quality we received for the price. -

Michele Sent on 08/30/2017Having been in the events industry previously, I had a short list of photographers I wanted to look at when I got engaged. My fiance looked at websites and picked a couple he liked. April wasn't actually on this list as she was referred to us from John Ross Music. We both loved what we saw on her website and John's recommendation so she made the final short list of 2 that we met. When she pulled my fiance out of his introverted shell and had him laughing and telling stories, I knew we had found our photographer.
From the first meeting, through our engagement photos, to the welcome gathering where we had her shooting and on to our wedding day, April and her assistant Shelly were just great. Everyone was smiling and laughing and we had lots of comments from our family about how fun and easy to work with she was. They even worked with the last minute problem of my fiance being in a wheelchair due to a back issue. What more could you possibly want? Oh, yes, beautiful photos. Well, the engagement photos were and the couple of sneak peaks we've gotten of the wedding weekend photos leaves me in no doubt that we are going to love them.
Thank you April and Shelly for being a part of our wedding weekend and capturing these memories for us. -
User2995496 Sent on 03/08/2017We could not have asked for a more personable, energetic, and sweet photographer! She is so excited about everything all the time which makes her a joy to be around. We felt as though she had been a long time friend offering to do the photography at our wedding. Her artistic eye lends for beautiful pictures, but she is also capable of snapping the 'pintrest' poses if you want (but I'd go with her natural talents for some original pieces). It was a pleasure having her be part of our special day. -
User1737907 Sent on 07/29/2014April Was amazing-- made us feel very comfortable and not staged at all for our pictures! She really captured the day perfectly!! :) -
User1080264 Sent on 01/29/2013April Williams was amazing on our big day!. She was fun, creative and very professional. She seems very experienced with weddings and was really on top of everything! Her time management skills were perfect. My husband and I couldn't have been happier to work with her! -

Emily Sent on 06/16/2012April is a fantastic vendor and great person. She is high energy and full of smiles and great ideas. She was so easy to get a long with and worked with all my bridal whims. We even whisked us away after the ceremony for a couples reprieve of photos of just us while our guests found their way to the reception hall. She jumped in with mingling and getting pictures of all our guests. She took great charge of the family pictures, and followed the directions I'd given to our coordinator. Her service is excellent, her responses are quick and full of information and request for more clarity with options where needed. She's professional, but not stuffy, she's fun! Her value is far more than the money we've paid her for, and she's flexible even with constant changes. GREAT VENDOR!!!!
