elcome to the journal for April O’Hare Photography! Here you’ll find all of my latest photographic outings with the couples, families, seniors and small businesses that I get to work with and make beautiful photographs for. You may also see a personal post here and there discussing my life or my travels with my teeny family of one husband and three cats! Sometimes I even write advice articles with tips to help make your photo experience better which you can check out under the “Educational” category.  

Take your time and look around! Type in the place where you’ll be getting married in the search box to see if I’ve photographed there before. At the bottom of the page I’ve highlighted some of my favorite sessions and weddings from the past. Grab a drink and have fun going down the photo rabbit hole!

Colorado Winter Wedding in the Snow

December 27, 2011

Just a few days before Christmas Denver was endowed with a healthy dose of the fluffy white stuff. It was just in time for Miles and Bethany’s wedding too. Their ceremony was in the afternoon down at the Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Mormon Temple in Centennial with the reception held later that evening at the Dicken’s Barn (aka the D-Barn/Lashley Barn) on Main Street in Longmont, Colorado (http://www.dbarn.net/)  It may have been cold, but you can’t beat all of that beautiful white snow for a picture perfect winter wedding.

Congratulations to Bethany & Miles and a belated Feliz Navidad to all of the readers out there:)

This is what it was looking like when I arrived.
