April did an AMAZING job! Throughout the whole process, she was very attentive and answered all our messages/ emails quickly (and even after hours to accommodate to our busy work s...
chedules). She was extremely easy to work with and flexible. When we were planning our wedding, we knew photography was very important for us. We wanted more of an editorial vibe that still caught the details and emotions of the day, but wasn't "cookie cutter." April did just that and her photos exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend working with April and her team!
April did such an amazing job of capturing every detail and emotion of our day! She was constantly on the lookout for the best lighting and backdrops and only pulling us into photo...
s when everything was already scouted and setup, saving us more time to be with our guests and bridal parties! We had a lot of personal details we wanted captured during our day and she did an absolute fantastic job of seemingly being everywhere at once and getting gorgeous portraits of us, our guests, and all the personal touches. Traveling to three locations, dealing with a minor stepping-on-glass-with-bare-feet emergency, capturing every outfit change - she really did it all and we could not be more grateful for her talent, professionalism, and relaxed and engaging personality; it truly felt like a close friend was shooting our wedding, not a paid vendor. 10/10 would recommend!!!
April and Mike are flat-out awesome. We wanted our photos to capture the essence of our wedding day while looking timeless. They were able to deliver exactly what we had in mind an...
d more! From our engagement shoot to the day of the wedding, April was IN. She wanted all the details, timelines, and specific shots or ideas we had for our photos. She loved to collaborate with us and really made us feel she had our best interests in mind. April and Mike made the shoots during the day of the wedding super easy. They knew what they wanted to shoot, where to get those shots, and what time we had to do them. They were able to make it fun for the entire wedding party and we got everything done well before cocktail hour. They are consummate professionals with an incredibly personal touch.
The Best Wedding Investment We Made! Wedding photography was high on our list of priorities for our 2022 wedding. Knowing that these images will be cherished and shared in our fami...
ly for years to come, we decided to book April & Mike even though they were at the top of our budget. If we knew then how talented and personable they were to work with, we would have paid double! April is truly gifted at her craft and on top of her skill, takes the time to befriend her couples and get to know their stories. She is a joy to work with! Our sneak peek photos are already some of our favorite images ever and our entire family looks forward to seeing the rest of the album. We are so lucky to have the chance to work with you guys and look forward to rooting you on for years to come!
There are no words that could accurately describe just how amazing April & Mike are! They are incredibly kind people who truly care about their couples and want to make them happy....
April shot our engagement photos on a freezing cold November day (only day that worked for my schedule) and they still came out beautiful! Their associates Emily & Jeannie shot our wedding and they were delightful to work with. April & Mike put together our wedding day timeline and Emily & Jeannie made sure we got every shot we wanted without rushing us. They made sure we could focus on our day and spend time with our guests while also taking keepsake-worthy pictures. We are so happy with all of the photos they shot and would gladly pay any price for this type
of experience! Thank you April & Mike!
Booking April & Mike as our wedding photographers was easily one of the best decisions we made. This husband and wife team are one of a kind. Not only are they super talented, but ...
they are genuine people who go above and beyond for their couples. It was the "experience" for us. From the beautiful welcome box, to the intimate pre-wedding meeting over drinks and the personal hand written letters. April is so responsive and helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. April & Mike make magic happen while capturing all of the small details. I am thankful our paths have crossed, and we are forever grateful.
April and Mike did such an amazing job capturing our wedding day through their photos. They were amazing to work with from the very beginning - they even stuck with us through a po...
stponement due to Covid. April provided us with a detailed timeline for our wedding day to ensure everything ran smoothly. The whole experience of working with April & Mike for our wedding photography felt luxurious, professional, and honestly - fun. April and Mike are just really nice, genuine people. I cannot recommend them enough!
April and Mike were the absolute BEST choice as our wedding photographers for so many reasons. First off, their work is incredible, as they provide a glamorous editorial feel to th...
eir photos, telling a story of your big day; capturing all the little details to the big moments!
From the beautiful welcome gift box to the intimate pre wedding meeting for dinner and drinks, this truly was a LUXURY experience. In the months leading up to our big day we were in constant communication, as we were provided with a detailed photography schedule for the entire wedding day, given recommendations on items to bring for flat lay shots and fashion choices for our engagement shoot, and everything in between.
April and Mike were prompt and timely, professional, kind and friendly, and amazing at what they do. April even assisted in securing my veil prior to me walking down the aisle and Mike channeled his inner seamstress when by bustle ripped! We were so fortunate that they were our photographers for our wedding day and were happy they were able to share in our experience as well. It was like having another set of friends at our wedding with us!
Honestly, where do we even begin? We would recommend April to anyone, anywhere, anytime. To be transparent, we fell in love with her work before we even had our initial consultatio...
n. April is a true artist, extremely detail-oriented, and has mastered her craft. April took on the massive task of ensuring that our wedding photos portrayed our fairytale, and she did not miss a beat. One of our favorite parts about working with April was her innate ability to teach us how to pose and look at the camera. We could not be happier choosing April to document such a massive milestone in our lives. We are so incredibly lucky to have our photos that will last a lifetime. Not only did we have an amazing photographer, but also ended up with a lifetime friend! April is so sweet, kind, and loving. We could not have pictured having anyone else to capture our love forever.
I can’t even find the words to describe April, Mike and Catherine! If you are considering booking them DO IT! You are in the best hands. From our engagement photos to our wedding p...
hotos- I have never been so obsessed! We are just over a week out from our wedding and I really could not imagine our day without them. April showed me some previews during the wedding and sent me a handful of them the following day. Now I’m dying to see the rest. They are the sweetest, most talented people out there. April doesn’t treat her clients like clients- she treats them like family. Even if I had a small problem or needed advice April was there to help! Thank you April, Mike and Catherine for help capture our amazing day!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about April and Mike. We, like so many others right now were a COVID couple, who were forced to postpone their wedding day several times. Apr...
il and Mike hung in with us, from Dec 2019 Engagement Photos until FINALLY photographing our wedding on July 3, 2021. They are so easy and responsive with communication, and they work wonderfully together as a team. We have been so pleased with how well they captured our personalities, and the beauty of our wedding day. If you are looking for professional, easy-going photographers that will willingly go above and beyond for the perfect shot, look no further than April and Mike. Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for capturing our wedding so perfectly!
I can not recommend April and Mike enough!! From the moment I saw their pictures on Instagram from another wedding, I knew I needed to have them for my own wedding. Since the day I...
reached out them, they've done nothing but exceeded all of my expectations. April and Mike make a special effort to really get to know us as a couple which made all of our photos even more personal. For our engagement shoot, they traveled 2+ hours to the Jersey Shore so that we could take our pictures in a place that is special to us. When our shoot was cut just a tiny bit short because of the weather, April offered us a secondary shoot to make up for lost time. I also did a boudoir shoot with April and absolutely loved her style of the photos. April went above and beyond during my entire wedding planning process to help with timelines, answer any questions I have and even provide outfit recommendations for our various shoots. The amount of compliments I've gotten on my engagement and wedding photos are unreal! April & Mike started as just our wedding photographers and ended as our friends. If you're reading this because you're thinking about hiring April & Mike....DO IT.
This review is long overdue! My husband and I were living in Southern California when we got engaged and planned our wedding in 6 months from 3,000 miles away...all during Covid. I...
am so thankful to have found April & Mike on Instagram during the planning process and could not be happier with the way they captured our microwedding!
We opted to have a shortened timeline as our wedding was very intimate and did not last as long as the traditional big event. I am still amazed that somehow we did not have to compromise any parts of the beautiful gallery I was hoping for even though they had to work quickly to get it all in! You guys are amazing! Thanks for being such a huge part of our big day💕
April went above and beyond to make everything workout for us. She was extremely flexible and was able to do our wedding with a change of date with 12hours!! If that doesn’t tell y...
ou the amount of kindness and dedication I do not know what does. I absolutely love the beautiful photos she took for both our engagement photos and our wedding gallery. She truly captures the emotion of the day and my guests were very impressed by her beautiful creative photos. I told my husband from the beginning of planning for our wedding that I just had to have her. That if there was anything I really wanted for our wedding it was to have April be our photographer. Thank you so much April for putting your all into your clients!!
Words can’t express how thankful that I am that we chose April and Mike as our photographers! Easily our best decision for our wedding! They captured every moment for us and delive...
red the most perfect pictures of our wedding day! The day of our wedding, April went above and beyond for us and made sure to take care of us every step of the way! Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not easy but April checked in on us and was always so positive!! We never questioned our decision and will forever cherish all of the moments that April captured for us. We could never thank her enough. Simply the best photographer out there!! I will always recommend❤️
I don’t even know where to begin with this review because April and Mike are just simply amazing. We met April at our venue event nearly two years ago and booked them immediately. ...
Planning a wedding during this time has not been easy, but I can truly say April & Mike made everything easier.
They are so truly talented and invested in what they do, and it shows in all of their work. Not only that but they genuinely care about their couples, and making their big day incredible. Even on our wedding the day, they did so much for us. They have become dear friends of ours beyond photography.
April did a boudoir shoot for me, and April & Mike did our engagement photos, and our wedding. We have received endless praise and compliments on how beautiful our photographs are and how great of a job our photographers did. Please look no further when finding photographers!
My fiancé and I had to change our wedding date (and location) FIVE times. It was very stressful but April and Mike were there for us every step of the way. They worked with our sch...
edules and made sure that we were taken care of no matter what came up. April and Mike genuinely care about their couples and want to help make their wedding an absolute DREAM!
April is the sweetest soul and has become such a dear friend of mine. She has gone above and beyond all of my expectations. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and has the most contagious smile.
I highly recommend April & Mike! They are truly and simply the best at what they do.

and FUN to work with! They made my husband and I feel so comfortable and relaxed which really helped especially on such a long & hectic wedding day. All of our photos far exceeded expectations - we are just so in love with them and will cherish them forever! Highly recommend!!!
April + Mike immediately make you feel like you're building a new friendship. Their packages are clear, fair, and provide ample options for engagement, boudoir, and your wedding d...
ay. Their direction and timelines were what guided so many of our planning decisions, making it ALMOST unnecessary to have anyone acting as our day-of-wedding coordinator. The photos are so natural and bright, and April + Mike are absolute experts when navigating your venue and the day's changing light. We can't stop looking at our photos, and we are 100% without regrets that we chose this amazing husband + wife team. Love you guys!
We first met April & Mike at the wedding showcase at the Lancaster Marriot in the Spring in 2018. I had just moved to Lancaster, PA from London to marry the love of my life. I was ...
nervous to meet some new people at the showcase. When we came across April & Mike’s booth they were so welcoming and engaging. I automatically fell in love with their vision for wedding photography as well as their fun personalities.
After we left the showcase their was no doubt in our minds that we had found who we wanted to photograph our wedding.
I can honestly say it was an absolute pleasure working with them. April and Mike are friendly, helpful and can provide endless advice on all things wedding related.
You both captured our day exactly how we remember it smiles, silly faces and happy tears. We can’t thank you enough for all the effort you put into our special day, we adore our beautiful photos, from start to finish it really feels like our story and we couldn’t be happier. You made us laugh and feel so comfortable this was so important because you knew how nervous we both were.
April and Mike always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to capture our memorable moments.
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for doing such an amazing job! 💕
April and Mike are hands down the best photography team to work with. Give them an idea of what you have in mind, and they make it happen! It is never super formal with them... or...
awkward! This dream team is sooo so easy to work with.
To say my husband and I adore their work is an understatement. I wouldnt have wanted anyone else to capture our wedding day. Or engagement photos! April is a perfectionist in her work, and every aspect of it-- she wouldnt expect anything less from her husband either (;
The quality is out of this world. Her print shop is top of the line. && the turn around time is amazing! She even gives you little teasers to help ya get through until your albums are complete!😁
I assure you, you won't be let down when picking this photographer team. And if you don't/didn't pick them.. you made a mistake (;
April was the photographer for my sister's wedding and OH EM GEE!!! She was amazing from the moment she walked in. She came with an agenda and got right to business. We were runnin...
g a bit behind and she didn't hesitate with helping in whatever way she could. She was friendly, professional and most if all she made the whole process tons of fun!
April is so sweet and fun to work with! Me and my fiancé were nervous going into our engagement shoot and April made us both feel so relaxed and made the whole process so much fun!...

We love love loved our engagement shoot with her and he husband/co-shooter Mike and cannot wait to have them do our winter wedding in February 2019!!!
Where do I even begin to try and explain how lucky my husband and I felt that the universe lead us to April and her husband Mike! From our first meeting to engagement pictures to t...
he day off the wedding, April was the sweetest and down to earth! She stayed in constant communication with us since day 1 occasionally checking in and had a wedding day timeline for us that was spelled out in detail. My husband and I are both in the military and April was able to understand and deal with our hectic schedule. Everyone could not stop commenting our beautiful engagement pictures and now I'm anxiously waiting our wedding pictures! The day of the wedding we ran a little behind schedule and April being the professional she is jumped into action and started to assist with getting my dress on and helping with final touches! Also she wasn't afraid to jump in on the fun at the reception and get everyone on the right steps to the cupid shuffle! Honestly I wish I would remarry my husband just so I can rehire April!😊😊
April and Michael are amazing! I cant wait to get the rest of our photos back, they did a beautiful job!
April and Mike were so personable and made our wedding day even more fun! From the moment we met April for our engagement photos, she made us more at ease in front of the camera. T...

she is super sweet and professional. My fiance hates getting his picture taken, but April made our engagement photo poses easy and the whole process fun. Plus her turnaround time on edited photos is super fast! She is responsive and her social media presence/accessibility is part of the reason we chose her. I can't wait for April to shoot our upcoming wedding.
April and her team really go above and beyond! If you are looking for a photographer who can truly capture the essence of your wedding, then look no further! My husband and I are u...
