2014 was a year of growth for April Maura Photography in the wedding industry. I have been completely honored witnessing couple’s unique love stories. I have been blessed to see couples’ wedding stories unfold and see the special behind the scene moments on that day. Thank you to all the couples and photographers that allowed me to be apart of these couple’s love stories and grow my photography skills to capture a couples’ wedding day story.
The first wedding I captured in 2014 was Taylor and Kylie’s Val Vista Lakes Wedding. You can see Kylie’s surprise dance for her husband on the blog post.
I planned my first wedding inspiration, a Vintage Arizona Wedding Elopement on a Ranch in Gilbert. The design was created to inspire bride’s who wanted an intimate Arizona backyard wedding.
