We found Ariel because two of our friends had worked with her for their weddings and we got to see first hand how amazing she was. Ariel was the first vendor I booked after we found our venue, I actually reached out before we even booked the venue to confirm what days she was available ahead of time to make sure I was able to work with her! She was hands down the best vendor and best decision we made. From helping us put together a timeline, to arriving with umbrellas for the unprecedented weather - Ariel was amazing to work with.

Ariel did a couple shoot of me and my boyfriend and it was the best experience I have ever had with a photographer! I am never truly comfortable getting my photo taken but Ariel had a very warm and patient approach. She captured us as we are with one another! No forced smiles or awkward posing.
When I look at these images I see us and our relationship as it is. I absolutely love these photos and memories she was able
to capture.

As a black couple it was really important for us to hire someone who could capture darker skin tones in a beautiful way. Ariel performed beyond our wildest dreams. So if any other brown couples are on the fence about hiring her please do not hesitate you will not regret it. We knew she was good but wow , her pictures are breathtaking. Especially her editing style which is a breath of fresh air from all the dark moody styles that seemed so popular when we were looking for a photographer.

If you are considering Ariel to photograph your wedding, stop looking – she is the BEST. Her style is magazine-worthy (a frequent comment from those who have seen the photos she sent us after the wedding); she captures natural light and color gorgeously! In the year and a half that we worked with Ariel, from our initial meeting over Zoom to our engagement photoshoot to our actual wedding day and all the communication in between, we never doubted that we were in good hands.

Ariel is nothing short of amazing!! She has become such a true friend and made our entire wedding planning process and wedding day a breeze. Ariel saw our vision and made it come to life!! She captured our love in every single one of the shots she took. Highly highly highly recommend her for your wedding!!!
-The Storers
We met Ariel and it was a done deal. Not only does she have a great eye for the perfect shots but she works with a level of care that is unparalleled. She is organized, professional, a thoughtful listener, easily our most responsive vendor, and a joy to spend time with! We felt so comfortable with Ariel, it was easy to pose for all the photos. We also were surprised to find how much we LOVED our engagement photos, as we initially didn't put too much importance on them. Ultimately, our pics for the wedding are the most cherished things we own - we could not be more thrilled and plan to hire Ariel for all our big moments in the years to come.
Ariel was amazing with our photoshoot! She had so many ideas for photos and even heard us out on some of our visions too. She even helped with posing, which we were definitely nervous about in front of the camera, but we felt comfortable with her. We got so many photos to look at and choose from too! Can't recommend her more!!
