APRIL AND RICHARD | Wedding

April & Richard have the coolest job in my book…they are both zookeepers at the World Famous San Diego Zoo!  So where do two zookeepers who love their jobs decide to get married?  The San Diego Zoo!!! :)  Needless to say we had a fantastic time roaming around the zoo and photographing these two.  These guys are just full of fun, super sexy and madly in love!  What more could we ask for?

    Wow. Well the couple is gorgeous so you have great faces to start with but you’ve done something very different with the zoo location that I hadn’t seen before. Exceptional photos. I love the aviary photo.

    Some of those pictures seem to capture a special moment in time - to reach out and grab your emotions. Incredible. They didn’t charge enough (whatever it was) ;-)

    INCREDIBLE! what unique shots instead of the usual. These few photos capture how special & beautiful this wedding was. The backdrop of the Zoo, how PERFECT was that!!!! Very touching to relive this wedding again through your photos. We really can’t wait to see more and then get to select some of these georgeous photos for our own.

    April and Richard’s wedding photos are stunning…I don’t know that I’ve ever seen such beauty and joy captured by the camera. I have to say I’m partial to the setting (and the bride and groom, of course!), as I’m a former San Diego Zoo educator. Very well done!!!

    Such artful and gorgeous reminders of the all around best and most-fun wedding I’ve ever attended! Capturing the spirit of that evening I would have thought to be very challenging and yet these photos do precisely that with apparent ease. Well done!

    Congratulations to you two! Always remember our time in San Diego when you gave us a perfect tour of the zoo. We knew then that there was something very special about your relationship! Looks like the wedding was a blast. Many years of happiness to your family.

    The striking combination of b/w along with color photos of this lovely wedding shows the depths of the entire day! (Many folks think b/w is old fashioned and a waste of time. They’re missing the boat, in our opinion!)

    Absolutely the most fun ever had at a wedding. Truely the event of the year.
    These few photos only captured a wee bit of so very much, can’t wait to see more. My emotions ran the full scale from tears to laughter & back again. Richard, April, words here cannot say how happy, how down right pleased I am for you both.
    This is very special for all of us.
    To Stan & Jeannette, it was my great pleasure to have met you both. Your ability to capture the beauty of life and put it into photos is unsurprassed. Thank You!
