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!

Littleton Wedding Photographer at Garden Wedding

August 1, 2010

As a Littleton wedding photographer I was really excited about photographing Amy & Jeremy’s wedding on Friday because they were having it at the Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms in Littleton where they have this lovely old red barn there that really adds a lot of charm to the atmosphere of a garden wedding.  I love this Littleton area venue a lot.  We actually started out over at the Inverness Hotel (http://www.invernesshotel.com/)  where the majority of the guests were staying that night & then everyone took a shuttle over to the wedding site.  Amy and Jeremy held their ceremony in a big open grassy field with views of the mountains.  It was such a beautiful location and with the sky threatening to rain it provided a breath-taking scene for a wedding.

After the ceremony the party moved over to the Barn where the reception was held.  The place was decked out in turquoise and black decor & everyone enjoyed a relaxing evening with yummy food and tons of fun dancing.  It was a beautiful day for one of the nicest couples I’ve ever had the chance to photograph and I couldn’t be happier for them! 

Congratulations  Amy and Jeremy!  I hope you are fully enjoying your honeymoon & we will for sure be in touch:)

-April

These adorable kiddos had everyone cracking up. There was no dainty spreading of petals. Everyone knows that the best way to get them out there is to chuck them as hard as possible right?
