April Mae Creative

y, my husband and I made a pact to follow April's lead -- and she delivered and captured moments for a lifetime. We cannot recommend April more for engagements and weddings!

s. She is such a wonderful person to work with. Without a doubt the best!

From the very beginning, April was fun, outgoing, and incredibly creative. She brought such a great energy to the day while still being super detailed and responsive throughout the entire process. Her ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera was a game-changer — we actually had fun taking photos! April captured every moment perfectly — from the big, emotional moments to the little candid details that we’ll treasure forever. She was punctual, professional, and truly a joy to work with from start to finish. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who not only has an amazing eye but also genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable. If you’re looking for the best photographer, she’s on the one!!

uld not wait to see her magic on our wedding day. April is attentive to details and gets to know her couples to help make us more comfortable in the process which is evident in her work. Our wedding day and love story was captured beautifully by April. During our wedding day which involved a busy schedule with multiple events and a large guest count, April ensured the schedule of events moved swiftly including capturing the photos we requested but also ensuring we got to live in the moment and truly enjoy our special day. With our engagement session gallery we had a difficult time picking out a few favorites to use for our Save the Dates. Then after our wedding, April returned a sneak peek gallery within 24-hours and we were in awe of the photos that allowed us to relive the best day ever. April was also prompt in finalizing our full wedding gallery. She captured wonderful memories of our special day that were are able to cherish for a lifetime. I highly recommend April if you are in search for a wedding photographer.

pictures is the greatest gift we could have been given and she went above and beyond. April has an incredible talent for capturing the most precious moments along with making you feel so at ease and comfortable. If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding day we couldn't recommend her enough!

t that our special day would be beautifully captured. April has an incredible eye for detail and an ability to capture the most candid and heartfelt moments. The photos turned out stunningly – each one tells a story and brings back all the emotions of the day. April was professional, punctual, and incredibly easy to work with, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will go above and beyond to ensure your memories are captured perfectly, I highly recommend choosing April. Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable!

. She gently guided us out of our comfort zones while still honoring who we are, and the results were absolutely stunning. Her editing style is so natural and authentic—it brought out the best in us without feeling overdone or unnatural. Every photo felt true to life, with no strange filters or distortions, which we truly appreciated. April was by our side the entire wedding day, capturing every moment without missing a beat. Because of her dedication, we didn’t have to plan a fake early exit—she was there from start to finish, documenting everything from quiet, tender moments to the joyous chaos of celebrating with friends and family. We also had the pleasure of having April take our engagement photos, and she brought the same warmth, professionalism, and artistry to that experience. We’re already looking forward to working with her again in the future. Choosing April for your photos is a decision you will never regret. She’s simply amazing, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

got to know us and our personalities and that helped her understand the types of photography we wanted out of our engagement and wedding photos. And she hit it spot on. They all came out perfectly and we can't stop looking through them to help relive those perfect memories. She was very enjoyable to work with and she is definitely on top of it. April was able to handle the entire wedding day with such structure and grace and it helped everything run so smoothly.

I had hesitations about hiring a photographer at all as I did not want to worry about my angles and lighting and all the insecurities we all have, and certainly not at my wedding. I just wanted to be comfortable and present in the moment on the day. Somehow, April accomplished capturing beautiful, stunning photos, all while we felt comfortable in a way I never anticipated. During the ceremony, I honestly did not even notice her once, despite the incredible photos proving she was definitely there! Before and after the ceremony, she guided us through family photos, unobtrusively captured our getting-ready moments, and got great shots of our beautiful decor to remember forever. In a shockingly quick turnaround time, we had a gallery of our most special moments, treasured photos of loved ones, and memories captured for a lifetime. I cannot recommend highly enough trusting April with your wedding photography. You will be so incredibly comfortable in her capable hands!

all the beautiful moments and is great at both the classic posed photos and the photos that really tell the story of the day. One of my good friends couldn't make it to the wedding, but after looking through the photos she said "I really feel like I got to be there!" which is just the dream to have the day fully captured.  What really sets April apart though is her warm and joyful demeanor. I first met April when she shot for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in. After seeing her work that weekend, I knew one day I'd choose her for my wedding, and I hadn't even met my husband at that point! April kept our day calm, on schedule, and joyful. When a huge storm hit and nearly flooded the city right when we were scheduled to do our first look outside, April calmly directed us to a beautiful indoor location, and then gave us space to actually spend time together and be ourselves during the first look. As soon as the rain cleared, she got the wedding party into a beautiful outdoor but covered location to take family and wedding party photos so we still got our outdoor photos while keep everyone dry and mudfree! April is also great at keeping family focused and moving. Sometimes the giant family photos after the ceremony can feel like herding cats, and April got everyone in the right place with a smile on their face and then quickly to cocktail hour.  I can't rave about April enough. Everyone should hire her! She is truly the best addition to your wedding day. 

as an immense about of experience and that shows in her work as well as in how she handles a wedding day. She served not only as our photographer but also helped in the day of operations of our wedding. She made sure every single aspect of our wedding day flowed smoothly. We had two sessions with April, our engagements and our wedding. During both of these sessions, April was able to capture moments that we will be able to cherish forever. She not only has an amazing eye, but she is extremely timely with the getting photos back to you. We had photos from both sessions back to us within days. It really is hard and limiting to write a "review" about someone who far exceeded our expectations. The only thing to be said, is if you are in the market for a incredible wedding photographer, I would highly highly recommend April.

so good with direction since we needed some extra guidance. The pictures turned out phenomenal and we got them back so quickly. The photos she captured are so amazing, it is hard to believe that it was our wedding. She made sure to get all the details as well as awesome candid shots of us and our guests. We could not be happier with the photos and work she did for our special day and would recommend her to anyone we know looking for a wedding photographer.

th April’s experience she knows how to guide the complicated and not complicated situations. Photography was something I never worried about because we instantly clicked and she was on top of the details. April looks out for her clients – contractually, during the planning process, during your wedding weekend and after. During my wedding she was incredibly helpful navigating the timeline, answering questions and not letting me, the bride, get rattled. And the best of it all – our wedding photos are AMAZING. We have incredible photos captured by her talent. I’m very thankful for April for capturing our wedding weekend!

ally appreciate April for all the time, thought, and effort into making our day so special. She truly was one of the best vendors I’ve ever worked with and hired. Since I am also in the wedding industry, I have firsthand knowledge of what it’s like to work and run a wedding. It’s not an easy job, but April's execution on our wedding day made everything run so smoothly. It was effortless. What a memorable and pleasant experience, thank you. Love Walker & Amanda. 03.23.24

t, gets how to make sure you and your guests feel comfortable all day to get the best pictures. We gave April a brief mood board and she freakin ran with it while staying true to her own photography style. Can you ask for anything better? Oh wait yes, you can. She also gave us a beautiful highlight gallery within 48 hours. Work with April NOW!

er. But let me tell you, we are overjoyed with our decision to choose her. April is great at all aspects of her business but she really shines in getting candid and posed shots, making sure that everyone is comfortable around her and the camera, and communicating. Even during the day of the wedding, April allowed us to add a few poses with friends and family last minute, which is a huge deal because there isn’t a lot of time during weddings for unplanned activities. Overall, April is amazing and we can’t wait to shoot with her again!

nning work; her presence, professionalism, and guidance throughout our wedding journey were nothing short of extraordinary. April has a remarkable ability to create an atmosphere that is not only enjoyable but also incredibly comfortable during photo sessions. Her calming demeanor made the process seamless, allowing us to relax and genuinely enjoy each moment. The magic she worked with her lens left my husband and me in awe. April captured not just images but emotions, telling the story of our day in a way that surpassed our wildest expectations. If you're seeking not just a photographer but an artist who truly understands the essence of your special day, April Mae Creative is unparalleled. Grateful beyond words for April's talent and the memories she captured for us.

us. She gave us sneak peaks within days and made any changes we asked. Day of the wedding she was so attentive and on track. I didn't have to worry about anything with her there. She captured all of the memories of our special day and truly made the experience a breeze. She showed us some pictures throughout the day and asked if we wanted any corrections. She gave us over 300 highlights within 2 days of the wedding and less then a month later had all of the photos! She's worth it. 10/10 recommend!

ct person to capture our special day. Neither of us like being photographed and April made us look amazing! April won’t only be your photographer, she will also become your best friend on your wedding day! She helped with touch ups for my hair and makeup, made sure my veil looked perfect, organized the wedding party, and had our pictures done in record time so we could enjoy cocktail hour with our friends. She also taught everyone the line dance to Copperhead Road during the reception! I mean come on! We got sneak peaks within 2 days and got to enjoy them on our honeymoon and the full gallery was delivered within 3ish weeks after the wedding. All of the pictures are perfect. Another thing April does is will show you pictures throughout the day to make sure you like them. Communication was so easy and April is quick to reply to any inquiries or questions. Hands down favorite vendor we had by far!

mething I knew I wouldn't be able to avoid on my wedding day. After meeting April for the first time I felt such a sense of relief because I knew we chose the perfect photographer- she's patient, kind, and easy going. My fiance (now husband) and I don't take many photos, so we're extremely awkward and have no idea how to pose, what to do with our hands, where to look, etc., but April was up for this challange and was amazing at guiding/directing us. Along with being painfully awkward, it was also difficult for me to articulate what I was wanting photo-wise. April worked with me to hone in on the style of photos I was wanting, what locations we wanted, what poses to do, and the perfect balance of posed versus candid shots. On our wedding day she was incredible- she kept us (mainly me) on time, was extremely communicative, was patient with our families and wedding party, and made it all fun! Something I was dreading turned into a fun, quick, and memorable part of our wedding day! And when I say she was quick, she was QUICK. We were able to take couple photos, wedding party photos, immediate family photos, and extended family photos and were still able to attend the last 30 minutes of our cocktail hour. The photos turned out absolutely stunning. I have never loved this many pictures of myself, ever. April provided a sneak peak of our photos nearly 24 hours after our wedding ended, and she provided so many more photos than I expected. I highly recommend April and can't thank her enough for making our day so special and capturing so many special moments!

s a special ability to manage the crowd, get the perfect shot, make the bride and groom feel like they're models rocking the shoot, bring positivity yet calmness, and is so flexible if things change last minute. She even sent me 200+ pictures to view THE NEXT DAY after the wedding! My family and other guests also made comments to me about how amazing she is! Book April now and I promise you won't regret it! Her second photographer, John, was equally as kind and it was overall such a great experience! Thank you both a million times over!

g day. April is punctual, an excellent communicator, direct, and most importantly delivered STUNNING images. I love that she turned around sneak peeks in less than a week, too! Thanks April, was a blast working with you! - In Ink Weddings

d comfortable in front of the camera. I’ve heard from multiple family members that ours are the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen. I will cherish the photos forever. Seriously, pick April Mae as your photographer!

shows in the photos. She gives easy-to-follow instructions that make the photos look great without feeling overly posed or unnatural. We had great vendors for our wedding, but April was by our favorite by far! When booking with her, she shared multiple galleries with me so I could see the flow of a whole day and get a sense for her style. She was also a preferred vendor for our venue, so she was able to even help us decide on a wedding date based on past weddings she’d photographed there (and when the greenery was most lush without being too hot). She was very flexible about rescheduling our engagement session when I had a ring disaster that required repairs. We were able to do two locations for the shoot that allowed us to get a more park-like feel with our pups and some downtown vibes, too. April is organized, well collected and a source of calm on an otherwise hectic day. Really led the flow of the day (despite having a planner), and I am SO grateful we had her as our photographer. She is also very competitively priced for the level of service she provides. Besides her absolutely amazing work, another thing that stood out was that she did not have an hour limit of on her time with us on our wedding day. It was nice knowing she would be there for everything we wanted captured. We were also SO impressed with how quickly we got our photos for both engagement and wedding galleries. We received 600+ of our photos within 48 hours of our wedding 😮 and got a several hundred more within a few weeks! It was so wonderful getting to see them so soon after and made me even more grateful we went with her after hearing horror stories of other couples not getting photos back for 4+ months. She is a master at her craft, and the proof is in the photos! We will cherish our gorgeous engagement and wedding photos every day for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much April! I will never stop singing your praises for anyone who will listen!!!

wo days after our wedding and we are blown away! She has the absolute best eye for details and her photos are breathtaking. I can not recommend her enough- she was out of this world amazing!!!

t like we had already known her for such a long time! She is extremely personable and fun to be around which makes taking pictures be more relaxing and allowed my husband and I to be more natural. I texted April so many random questions at all times of day and she was always extremely responsive and sweet. On the wedding day, April was there before almost every vendor and stayed until the very end of the night. I could not be more pleased with all of the pictures she took of us throughout engagement, bridal portraits, and wedding day. I am so glad we had April as our photographer!

that are totally awkward in front of the camera and made us feel comfortable and confident. She gives enough coaching to help you look your best, but not so much that it's intrusive or uncomfortable. We really loved that she captures everything how it looks in real life (color wise, particularly), but elevates it to the best possible version of itself. I cannot tell you how many times we've looked through our wedding photos. HIGHLY recommend!

ative and RIDICULOUSLY talented. We did a pre-wedding shoot 3 days before the wedding and those photos turned out amazing as well, I swear she is a magician, and she makes you feel SO at ease during the shoot. I can't recommend April enough!!!

LY, and made taking pictures of a large wedding party so easy and fun! April was at every big moment to make sure pictures were being taken, and she was even able to capture some really fun moments on the dance floor that I'm so glad I have photos to be able to look back on and remember. Not only were our photos STUNNING, but she got the majority of them back to us in less than a week!! I really cannot recommend April enough!!

g a wedding photographer is arguably the most important vendor to pick for your wedding. Let me save you some time and effort -- you should hire April for the task without a doubt. She is so much more than a photographer -- my wedding day would not have gone as smoothly OR been as fun and wonderful without her. April has a fantastic vision and eye. Her work speaks for itself! Not only is she a complete boss and professional at her job, but she is also one of the best people I've ever met. Over the course of time that I worked with her, we truly became friends! And how special is it to have a friend shoot your wedding?! She is truly invested in your personal love story and what makes you and your partner unique! Do yourself a favor and hire her!!!!!

way she captured our day all over again. With April behind the lens, you'll find yourself laughing and breezing through the "refridgeator wedding shots." BUT then you'll get your album back later and find little gems tucked throughout your gallery that are candid, tender, and truly tell the story of your celebration and display your love like you've never seen it photographed before. I cannot speak enough kind words about April as a person and her work. It was truly an honor to have her take part in our wedding.

spends your whole entire wedding day focusing on making you and your needs/wants/desires the center of attention! Did I mention I got our FULL wedding album back two weeks later?! And 100s of sneak peaks just days later?! I cannot recommend her enough!!

work with the entire time. April is super talented and you can tell she loves what she does! She also always got our photos to us within a couple days which is just unheard of! I've had friends wait months for their wedding photos, and April turned ours around in a mere couple days. I HIGHLY recommend her services and would work with her again in a heartbeat.

make the best photos. She and her assistant were in all the right places and caught all the moments I wanted captured. Her photos look amazing and she delivered them the DAY AFTER my wedding!!!! You can’t ask for anything more. Thank you April, I am so grateful!

about all the different components that go into wedding planning and execution, and that certainly showed the day of our wedding. She reads the room, is able to lead and delegate, is beautifully creative, and put us at ease for our big day. Aside from the day of, April communicated so clearly and promptly for our engagement shoot and wedding, which truly took a load off of any other stress we had. It’s only been a couple days since our wedding, but we’ve already seen so many beautiful shots and we can’t wait to see the rest! Thank you, April for absolutely everything!

g day photos - April went above and beyond for us. I truly believe she was the glue that kept me from falling apart. Her kind soul is one of a kind and her vibrant energy is contagious. She asked me multiple times through out the day if I was okay and not in a dry, rhetorical way you might get from some vendors. She genuinely wanted to make sure I was enjoying myself and had everything I needed and I will always be thankful to her for that. On top of being amazingly talented, she’s an amazing human being. And an absolute must for any wedding day!

showed up to take some gorgeous photos of our elopement. We rescheduled and luckily she was available for our new date as well. She has an incredible eye for knowing how to work with natural light to create the most beautiful photos. Not only is she incredibly gifted but she is the kindest person. She made me feel so calm and relaxed on my big day, making sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone from my wedding kept telling me how much they loved her and how awesome she was. You will not regret booking with April.

l so confident and comfortable during each of her sessions. April did our engagement photos, my bridals, and spent all day at our wedding and I wouldn’t have had it any other way!

es more than anything but my fiancé is super awkward in front of the camera, so for us, finding the perfect photographer was the most important part of our entire engagement/wedding. While our wedding isn’t for another couple of weeks, April did such an amazing job on our engagement photos that I didn’t want to wait to post a review. My fiancé asked that any photographs I want taken in the future be done by her - regardless of where in Texas we are and how many years go by. She made us feel so comfortable, was the furthest thing from judge mental, and created such a candid atmosphere in a profession that is based on posing. Again, our wedding isn’t for a couple weeks but I have so much faith in her that I wanted to write a preemptive review in hopes of convincing any prospective clients. Thank you for capturing us in our element, April. ❤️ We will be showing these pictures to family & friends for decades to come.

helpful with planning out timelines as well, and the day of is another source of calm in the craziness of a wedding day. Even though taking all the posed photos can be a bit awkward at times, she makes it really fun and quick (if needed)!

or us.

k with. She made even the large wedding party and family pictures sail by quickly and smoothly, and I'm so grateful for how laid back yet in control she was during that. Her professionalism and friendliness and experience are truly top tier. And her pictures are breathtaking - I'm in love with all of our wedding pictures and engagement pictures still!! Thank you again, April!

he most precious moments while we got ready- especially photos with my mom. During the family photo time, she definitely kept it moving with her natural leadership presence- making it painless for everyone! Haha I know how painful family photos can be when you have a million family members (& the included family drama)! & she knew all the best photo spots around the venue for me & my husband to sneak away during cocktail hour to capture the most beautiful photos. She’s just so real & natural- It was almost like having your best friend photograph you & your love during one of the important time of your life. The photos are absolutely amazing, & I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, the best!
