ABOUT
We're April & Mike, we like things clean and classic. We think your wedding photos deserve to be as epic as your love story.
Words from April:
I’ve always had a passion for the arts. As a young child I was always drawn to music and sculpting. As time went on I was introduced to the fine art medium of photography. Photography has given me the opportunity to create on a daily basis, have a magnificent career photographing sophisticated & chic clientele.
We believe in celebrating the moments you feel the most like yourself.
We love how photography gives us the opportunity to create relationships. We’ve never been the photographers to just show up with our cameras and shoot. Our clients, as chic as they are - are real people, with real stories. We learn the hearts behind our clients, their love story to each other or their love story to their business. We’re in the business of romance and documenting each unique person, wedding, & brand. After 10 years of photographing couples & brands, We can truly say that this is where I am meant to be.
FOR THE ROMANTICS
What Mike loves about April
From the moment I met April she just radiates light. She has gone through more than most people have in their lifetime and she has always found a way to stay pure of heart and have a positive outlook in everything. She makes people feel understood, seen, and loved. The way she cares so deeply for everyone and how compassionate she is in everything she does is one of the most inspiring things I have ever witnessed in my life. She's such a romantic, and finds joy in the smallest things like how getting our groceries in paper bags makes her feel nostalgic. The way she lights up when we take a stroll midtown stopping by our favorite stands at market. I could not have asked for a better partner.
What April loves about Mike
I’ve always loved how seen Mike makes me feel. Whether it’s the little things like putting gas in our Jeep, because I despise pumping gas. Or the big things like “lets book a flight to Paris.” He’s loyal till the end and always puts us first. He’s my person, my first real family, my true love. He’s everything I’m not and balances me out so well. We both have a deep love of culture, doing the greater good, great food, and New York. He’s my business partner, my best friend, my lover, and my husband.
our core
CONNECTION & TRUST
We take the time to get to know each of our clients on a personal level. Whether its a simple phone call, text, or grabbing coffee or drink at happy hour. This plays a critical part in our story telling by learning all the nuances about you and your relationship or brand.
a few more things you should know:
No 1
Lovers, Best Friends,
Husband & Wife
We're those crazy in love humans who love spending as much time together as possible..but you probably already know that.
no 2
We're Parents
They say being a parent is the most rewarding and tiring thing you'll ever experience in life..they're right.
no 3
We split our time between New York & PA.
You know that journey song..yeah you know the one. That city boy and small town girl, we know its a cliche ..but thats us! Mike is from New York whilst April grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania. But do not take that small town demeanor too literally. April can hold her own in a city.
we believe
Your photos do not belong on your phone.
In a screen & technology driven society. Sometimes its hard to pull ourselves away. But let us tell you a secret. Printing your photos is where the actual magic occurs. Get those photos printed and show them off.
we believe
Celebrate life, whenever you get the chance!
The classic moments, lighting taper candles and having the light flicker whilst drinking a glass of wine surrounded by beautiful company. It doesn't get much better than that.
