Osage House Wedding // Ricky + Christine

January 12, 2024 April Walsh

What memory stands out most to you from your wedding day?

The favorite part of my day was definitely the "yam seng" cheers we did with all our guests! It was a total accident that the group got larger and larger as we went from table to table, but that's what made it the best part! It was so much fun to see everyone we love come together and scream their hearts out!

Advice for future couples?

In terms of wedding planning - Enjoy your day as much as you can and find moments in time where you can be with your love one on one! We really loved having a planner with her on the day of because she was able to take on a lot of the coordination and I could just enjoy my day!

In terms of marriage - Find time to spend with each other! It's really easy to get caught up in the day to day motions in life with work, responsibilities, house chores. Make sure to carve out time to spend with each other and try to plan something that both of you will look forward to!

How was your experience with me?

Ricky and I absolutely LOVED working with April! We had never done photoshoots before our engagement shoot, so we were very anxious and awkward, but she made us feel at ease right from the very first call! She is a total pro. She worked with us and our planner and videographer to develop a timeline and get the best shots, made suggestions on outfits and styling, was great at directing us and giving us poses. Because she was so amazing to work with at our wedding, we've worked with April on additional family photoshoots and will continue to work with her!

The funniest memory I have is probably me having a meltdown 2 days before the wedding because of a really bad sunburn on my chest. After letting April know, she calmed me down, and helped edit the photos as if it never happened!
