Introduction: Hello and welcome! As a professional photographer for over a decade with a background in fine art and printing before that, I’ve emerged with a strong sense of composition and color. My love for environmental portraiture is informed by my experiences photographing events, weddings, on the street, as well as live music performance. I have developed a passion for improvising with light and color, to create striking, beautiful and memorable photographs of people in any situation. This range of experience has also proven especially essential in helping me better serve the specific needs of clients whose goals are not easily described by Thumbtack’s request template.

We were initially quite anxious about getting a photographer for pre-wedding photos since we are awkward people especially in front of a camera. But April made the photoshoot such a fun experience. She was so easy to work with - her professionalism and personality. We got the photos days after and we just loved them! She captured the right moments, the colours are amazing, they look so natural, and we did not look awkward nor cold at all! We're not the type who puts photos around the house. But after seeing her work, we're already looking forward to going back to Sydney to hang the photos she took around the house! Will definitely look her up when we go back to New Orleans and New York (she's also based here)!

Details: Candid style (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • One location • As recommended by the professional • Ability to purchase prints online • $$ (standard) • The engagement photographer travels to me

April Renae Photography's reply

Gaj and Michelle, thank you so much for the kind words. It was an absolute joy photographing the two of you during your visit to New Orleans. And, you were both amazing to withstand those low temperatures and even a bout of rain! It makes me so happy to hear that these photos have inspired you to have prints made for your home in Sydney. Please do look me up next time you're in either New Orleans or Brooklyn. I'd love to grab a coffee with you two again, no matter the weather :-).

April was a great partner on our event. When we are planning events in other cities, it's always helpful to have vendors we can depend on who are ready to work!

My husband and I were planning the wedding pretty quickly, so we were very appreciative of April's professionalism and flexibility! She was very invested in our stories and background, and she tried very hard to find places that best represented us. We had our photoshoots in three different places, and they all turned out awesome. Honestly, we don't think we could've gone with anyone else for this project! We absolutely loved her work!
