"a piece of art.

I love April and James of Simply Violet Photography for who they are and what they managed to capture. It truly is a piece of art. I feel like I'm reliving the day and night all over again, through my own lens. THAT'S how perfectly beautiful the pictures are. They snapped the feelings behind each moment. How they did it, I don't know. But the photographs are better than I could've even imagined. We had a surprise wedding, and thought it could be a vendor’s nightmare, but instead, this team embraced it and made it PERFECT. If you are looking for a truly genuine experience, this is your team. I’m horrible at posed photographs and didn’t want a single detail, even pictures, to feel fake or forced. I was not at all disappointed. All of our friends and family have raved about the photos, and I wish I could shout it from the rooftops that our memories of the day would not be what they are without them. We couldn’t be happier!!

"most gorgeous memories.

They capture real emotion. Sounds simple enough, but it truly is an art form that they have perfected. April and James will make your day so incredibly special, and beyond that they will provide you with the most gorgeous memories to treasure for a lifetime. If you are looking for gorgeous soft lighting and the skill to make laughs and tears fall from the photographs into the hearts of viewers of your pictures you need Simply Violet. We can't imagine a major life moment without these two with us to help capture it.

"single best decision we made.

We hired Simply Violet Photography to do our engagement session and photograph our entire wedding day. Doing so was absolutely, without a doubt, the single best wedding-related decision that we made. April and James were wonderful from the very beginning, and they captured my husband and I looking happy and in love and completely like ourselves (never stiff or overly posed). All of our friends and family have repeatedly told us that ours are some of the most beautiful wedding photos they have ever seen. We could not agree more.

"captured every emotion."

April and James are spectacular. We can't praise them enough - superior quality photos, fantastic attitudes, seamless teamwork, and a true joy to be around! It's clear they put their heart and soul into their work. Our wedding was taken outdoors, with many different lighting situations - twilight, clouds, very low light outdoors, high ceilings, shiny things, lasers - despite it all, they prevailed. Our photos are gorgeous, they truly captured every part and every emotion of the day perfectly. Bravo and endless gratitude to you both for taking us on and making these memories with us!!!

"beautiful, real, and raw.

Simply Violet Photography is seriously THE BEST. I feel so fortunate that we connected and that they were available to document our special day. Their work is creative, emotional, beautiful, real, and raw. As a professional team, James and April are top notch. They know exactly what they're doing and have a true gift at making the bride and groom feel completely comfortable at all times -- and with this they capture the magic of the real emotions. Bottom line, these guys are awesome and I would highly recommend them to anyone!!! So much gratitude for April and James!!!!

"unique style.

April and James made my new husband and I feel so comfortable behind the camera! I love their unique style of getting natural smiles and reactions rather than having a bunch of awkward looking posed photos. You couldn't ask for better photographers!

Their words - Kennedy+Tyler

"simply amazing.

You are both simply amazing and that is an understatement! Thank you so much for taking this time to put such effort for memories that will last a lifetime!

Their words - Hannah+Rhett

"talented, attentive, kind.

Choosing April and James as our photographers was one of the BEST parts about our whole wedding experience. Not only are they insanely talented, attentive, and kind, but they are also hilarious! They helped make our wedding such a carefree and enjoyable experience. Our pictures are absolutely stunning, and you will love how their photography makes you feel. Sometimes, I wish we could host another wedding just to have the opportunity to have pictures done with them again. That is, so long as someone else will do the rest of the planning.

"living our wedding again.

Eric & I searched high and low for photographers who could capture the realness of our big day & Simply Violet provided that and more. April & James made our wedding party and guests feel like they've been in our lives a lifetime. Once we received the link to view our photographs my husband and I looked through them and got the joy of living our wedding again... That's how great the photos are.  We have no regrets and would/will hire Simply Violet again.

Their words - Jessie+Eric

"most important moments.

Two of the most amazing people I've ever met! They know how to capture the most important moments. We wouldn't recommend any other photographers!
