From the moment we did our initial consultation with Ariele, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. She is bubbly, outgoing, passionate, and was just as excited about the wedding as we were. When we started working with her, we knew we were going to get incredible pictures, but we did not realize we were making an even more incredible friend. She is there for you day or night to answer questions, give recommendations, and to talk about fun ideas. We were planning our wedding from out of state and she was so flexible with scheduling our engagement shoot and any meetings we wanted to have before the wedding. Once you see her pictures, you will understand when I say that I wanted any and every type of picture photographed by her. They are so vivid, portray such emotion, and she is so happy to make sure you one hundred percent love your shots. She is phenomenal about not posing you, but rather, giving you prompts to create a more genuine picture that you are having fun versus feeling uptight or rigid. Not only did we do our engagement pictures with her that turned out flawless, I booked a boudoir with her and it was such a unique experience. I was very nervous and a little uncomfortable going into it, since I had never done one before, but Ariele makes you feel at peace and I ended up having so much fun with it! She genuinely loves what she does and her clients and you can feel that with every experience. We really put her to work with a long, 11 hour day for our wedding and she was awesome! She was there for anything you needed with constant check-ins, communicating days prior and throughout the day with the timeline and any changes, and we could not have asked for a more perfect experience. To top it all off, we got our entire wedding album 24 days after the wedding. That is unheard of in the industry and that goes to show you how much she loves her work and wants to get the finished results to her clients! If you want a hardworking, caring, magnificent phtographer and potential friend for life, Ariele is the one for you!
