April & Brian – Wedding/Reception
On Saturday I headed out to the Petersburg Regional Arts Center to photograph April and Brian’s reception. It was kind of like a reunion for us both because April and I went to high school together! And even though quite a few years have passed, it was a nice time because we were comfortable working together (must be the memories of Spanish class!) and I was able to see some other former classmates as well (hi Brooke, Katie, and Whitney!).
Anyway, April and Brian married in Mexico last month, but they wanted to throw a reception here to celebrate with the family and friends who weren’t able to attend their wedding. Here are a few:


I overheard one of their guests mention that April photographs extremely well…and I must agree:


And let’s not forget Brian, who was just as friendly and kind:

I persuaded April and Brian to get a few Vera-esque photos to go with their Mexico photos…I really love how this one turned out:





Congratulations April and Brian! I wish you many happy years together.

What a unique location! I love how you put them up against all of the photos on the wall. I also like the close up on the dress, and the second to last image is so cute.

Vera- Thank you so much for taking our reception photos! I knew I didn’t have to worry about a thing because Brian and I were in capable hands. I can’t say enough good things about the way you handled our reception- you were a bride’s dream. Thanks again!
