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.

Purple and Black Wedding at Once Upon a Time

November 24, 2022

Once Upon a Time Barn Wedding in Kiowa, Colorado

I first photographed Nicole and Ethan at their engagement session at the Denver Botanic Gardens back in June. Now I get to share the beautiful photos we created at their beautiful barn wedding at Once Upon a Time event venue in Kiowa, Colorado. I absolutely love Nicole’s sparkly black wedding dress. It’s so unique and she looked amazing in it. I also love that her purple hair looked so pretty with all of the purple floral decor at their wedding. It was so great to get to see Nicole and Ethan being supported by all of their friends and family. They had a really great party out there in Kiowa. They are musicians and play in a band called Younger Than Neil together so it made sense that they had a live band play at their wedding in addition to the DJ getting the dance party started. Below is just a tiny fraction of the fun photos created for them on this incredible day.
