    Reviews With Photos - April Simmons Photography

    I originally booked April to shoot my then girlfriend and I's proposal. She was super responsive and kind. She helped me formulate and plan and it went into action. I surprised my wife at a winery, where April had scoped out weeks prior and helped coordinate logistics. After the big surprise, April took pictures of us for over an hour, while we only paid for 1. Two days later, we received our pictures. She captured and edited 245 pictures in 2 days, and each one was as pretty as the last. Needless to say, we booked her for our wedding. Throughout the process, she was extremely kind, responsive, and understanding. She jumped at any idea we had and was eager to capture us. We did an engagement shoot a few months before the wedding, and we had people complimenting us on our pictures for months. Her bubbly yet gentle personality is perfect for folks who are not as photogenic as they'd like to be. She rolls with the punches and works so hard to get the perfect shot. My wife and I got married in early July at a winery in Paso. April showed up an hour before her slotted time with an additional photographer (whom we did not pay for, nor did she charge us for). In true April fashion, she captured every moment we wanted in perfect execution. She was very kind directing our large wedding party, and didn't miss a beat through the entire evening. We requested to have a photo or two edited before he got back from our honeymoon in order to do our thank-you cards. She sent over dozens of photos while we were still on our honeymoon (we left two days after the wedding and were gone a week). Three days after our honeymoon, she sent us all of our photos. My wife and I spent hours looking at each photo, and in complete awe of April's talent. Each shot was edited perfectly. She was so kind while taking pictures, and her vision was executed perfectly. To summarize, hahaha, we couldn't recommend April enough to anyone who wants pictures done. April is everything you could ever want in a photographer, and anyone would be lucky to have her. Her sweet and professional personality is exactly what you would want in a photographer. Any professional pictures my wife and I will do in the future, April will be our first choice. My only advice would be to book her quickly, as when word gets around, she will be the most sought after photographer in the area!

    But what we loved the most was April's kindness, generosity, flexibility, and patience in the process of setting up the details for the proposal.

    I am still speechless and in awe when I look at our wedding photos - Carlee made us look like we…read morebelong in a magazine and was just the most fun to be around. She is communicative, easy going and so professional. My now husband is a photographer himself and had the most respect for and fun with her throughout the process. We loved getting to know her through our engagement photoshoot (part of the photo package we purchased) and made the day of so seamless and fun knowing her better and that we were in the best hands on the biggest day of our lives. To top it off, she delivered us 1,500 photos within a couple weeks of our wedding - a day I spent staring at the magic that she captured for hours and sobbed tears of joy re-living in the most incredible and fun ways. Highly recommend Carlee for any wedding, engagement or family photos - she is the absolute best and most talented around and we are so lucky to have had her capture our day!

    Carlee is FABULOUS!! I cannot recommend her enough. Just book her…read more Carlee took senior photos for me and my brother. I had never done a shoot before, and I was nervous I wouldn't like my photos; I'm pretty self-conscious and picky about pictures of myself. I did an incredible amount of research (there are so many photographers in SLO county!) before going with Carlee. She was perfect right from the start. She guided me through each step of the photoshoot process, including pricing and choosing a venue, and was always consistent and clear in her communication. I had a lot of questions and she was very patient with me. When my brother and I met with her to do the shoot, I was pretty anxious. Carlee immediately calmed me down and helped me get into the process. I ended up having a really fun time! I got my photos really quickly, and I LOVE them. They are original, natural (no cringe here), and absolutely beautiful. I actually like pictures of myself! My entire family is also thrilled with the photos. I cannot stress enough how talented she is. Thank you so much Carlee!!

    We chose Kirsten to be our wedding photographer later this year. We just had our engagement photo…read moresession recently and OH MY GOSH she is just incredible. First of all, I want to be her best friend. She's so kind, super funny, she matched our banter well and we had so much fun with her. I have never been a fan of being in photos, and when I opened ours I actually cried with how happy I was this them. To make me feel so happy, to capture our little family and our love so well when we're both awkward people, is something so beyond talent, hard work, experience and skill. First of all, I totally forgot about engagement photos. She followed up a little bit after booking with her, and we set a date that was a ways out as my fiance was injured and wanted to wear shoes rather than a rehab boot Then, she asked if I need outfit help. I work a job with a uniform, and have two t-shirts and one pair of jeans that double whammy as my work jeans and nice jeans, so the answer was yes. She asked a few follow up questions to determine what our style is. Within an hour she had made a Pinterest board for us with over 50 pins of outfits for the both of us. It was perfect and thanks to her shopping for this photo session was a breeze. Then the time came for us to be in front of the camera. Kirsten learned very quickly that we avoid cameras But within minutes, thanks to her coaching and prompting, we were able to let our guard down, be silly, have fun and have some wonderfully intimate looking photos. She went above and beyond walking our property, finding nice spots, getting us to loosen up and be comfortable, and she included our pup Maggie in everything she could! When we tried a photo I thought would be cute but wasn't working because the puppy was being a puppy, Kirsten said let me try something, and was able to photoshop the shot for me. So silly but something so kind and considerate of her to do. Can't recommend her enough for her skills and her personality, and I am so excited to have her on our wedding day and will be a loyal customer throughout our life.

    Kirsten is truly amazing! She does absolutely beautiful work and was such a joy to work with from…read morestart to finish. She gave clear direction when we needed it but was never intrusive, just professional, calm, and confident throughout the entire process. We felt completely at ease with her, which definitely shows in our photos. We're so in love with both our engagement and wedding pictures, her style is exactly what I was hoping for: soft, romantic, and incredibly flattering. She even traveled to the Fresno area for our wedding, which we were so grateful for. Truly couldn't have asked for a better photographer!
