Areeg was absolutely wonderful to work with. From the first phone call, we just "clicked", and she brought a calming, positive and fantastic energy to our special day. She kept us ...
smiling and laughing, made us feel great about how things were turning out as she was shooting, and kept it all moving at a great pace. We were so fortunate to have been introduced to her, and her presence and work at our wedding were a blessing. To then see the final product afterwards was just icing on the cake! I couldn't have asked for more beautiful, heartwarming, and truly special photos. When you think of how wedding photos "should" look, or what you dream of them if you could imagine, that is exactly what she produced for us! They are by far one of the best things about our wedding (short of marrying each other). Her photos are timeless, yet contemporary, classic yet modern, elegant and sophisticated (but fun) all at the same time. The happiness, life and warmth she was able to convey in the shots take your breath away. So coupled with her being truly a breath of fresh air, we were so very fortunate to meet and get to work with Areeg!
Areeg is the best! She makes you feel super comfortable while taking the photos and also makes it extremely fun. Our Wedding and Engagement photos turned out perfect.
This review is long overdue since our wedding was almost 3 months ago but sometimes life gets in the way ✨
Areeg was simply amazing. She has this way of making you fee so comfort...
able and at ease when you are working with her. I was so nervous taking our engagement pictures but she made the day so FUN and so enjoyable . Our wedding day was the same. I was nervous and overwhelmed the day of the wedding but all of that disappeared when we started taking our wedding pictures.
Areeg just knows how to pose and direct you which is seriously so important. You want someone who Not only knows your “good side” but how to make everything look and feel effortless.
We honestly had a lot of shots on our “must have” list and she knocked it all out of the water. She captured family and friends so perfectly and I’m so grateful because our grandma passed away just days after our wedding. Now we have those pictures with her for forever.
Don’t think twice about hiring Areeg. She is so extremely talented and wise beyond her years. She’s kind, thoughtful and takes EXTRAORDINARY pictures. It’s not just the pictures though, it’s the experience she provides that is truly priceless. Thanks Areeg for your everything. You are the BEST ❤️❤️
The moment I started speaking to Areeg, I knew she was the photographer for me. Her pictures alone are draw dropping and absolutely stunning. Her personality is so upbeat and genui...
ne. Best of all she is a professional in ever sense of the word. She promptly responds to your emails and answers all your questions and concerns leaving you feeling confident and at ease. Picking our photographer is the most expensive wedding investment for us (other than our venue) and I'm so glad I went with Areeg.
We have only taken our engagement pictures with her and I already know our wedding pictures (along with our engagement pictures) will be nothing but perfection. Trust when I say you will be in amazing hands!
Where to even begin! From the start, Areeg has been so amazing to work with! As I was researching photographers I instantly was drawn to the coloring and style of her pictures, so ...
I reached out to her right away! Areeg was very responsive, beyond sweet and made me feel comfortable right away. We took our engagement pictures with her and the second we met I knew I had made the right decision because she is so sweet and thoughtful. My husband and I are not the best with pictures/being the center of attention, but Areeg instantly made us feel comfortable and we had the best day taking our pictures! She has such a talent and would always find the best lighting, angle or creative picture to make our engagement session perfect for us. The pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL! It made us so much more excited for the wedding. On our wedding day, she was so sweet and went above and beyond to capture the perfect moments for us. When we received the pictures back (very timely by the way!) we were blown away by how beautiful the pictures are! Seriously better than we could have ever imagined! I cannot stop looking through them- the hardest part is seriously trying to narrow down which pictures to post because every picture turned out beautiful! She captured all of our most special moments, but also perfectly captured the day where we were able to see pictures of times we did not even know happened- trust me, the day is a blur and she allowed us to see everything! My entire bridal party was obsessed with her and said of all of the weddings they have been in she by far was the best photographer they have ever had- and I could not agree more! I feel so lucky that we were able to have Areeg be our photographer for our special day. It was the best decision we made! So do not wait any longer book Areeg and you will be the happiest bride ever!!! :)
Where do I even begin with Areeg?! She was SO professional, organized, sweet, and even silly which I love! Areeg was the photographer for our wedding and her direction was so clear...
and absolutely necessary for us as we didn’t know much of what we needed to do (My husband and I were the first to get married out of our friends). Areeg had us covered for all the pictures we needed to take! She makes you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. And the pictures! I mean just look at the quality and her style. They’re so bright and romantic. Very instagram worthy if you’re into that kind of thing ;) Areeg is a perfectionist when it comes to editing pictures. She goes above and beyond and I’m grateful to have had her shoot our wedding day. When I got the pictures back, it truly felt like we were living the day all over again. Thanks for not missing a beat Areeg! I cannot recommend her enough!
Areeg is AMAZING. Hands down the best photographer I have ever worked with. Areeg photographed an in-home session for my husband and I. My husband is a very shy guy and was not ver...
y comfortable with doing a photo shoot, but Areeg came to our home and immediately made us feel so comfortable. She was so professional and experienced. She knew exactly how to lead us for the right poses and encourage us to feel comfortable. The pictures turned out amazing! My sister got married a few months later so I HAD to refer Areeg to her for the wedding. Areeg was so dedicated to the whole wedding day 12+ hours and managed to get EVERY. SINGLE. MONEY. SHOT. I knew the pictures were going to turn out amazing, and the family loved her! Needles to say I would recommend Areeg Spencer Weddings to anyone wanting a photographer for any event, she’s amazing. I will be using her for photography in the future and recommending to all my friends! Thank you Areeg!!!
Areeg was undeniably the best experience we’ve ever had with a photographer! She immediately made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She cares about all t...
he big AND little moments that even you don’t notice. She obviously loves what she does and it showed throughout our entire experience with her. Looking back at the photos makes me feel so happy and they came out better than I would have ever imagined. Now that all is said and done, Areeg has remained one of our greatest friends. Anyone looking for a wedding photographer - SHE IS THE ONE.
Areeg was an absolute delight to work with for our engagement shoot! She made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun throughout our entire session with her. You will feel li...
ke she’s your best friend after about 15 mins because of her personable and fun loving attitude. We played little games during our pictures to help set the tone and her directions were on point. Areeg cares a ton about her clients and puts in such great effort to find and theme your pictures the way you would always dream of. My fiancé and I would highly recommend her for your special day and engagement photos. She’s phenomenal!!
Areeg went above and beyond all of my hopes and dreams for a photographer. She was so fun and easy to work with. Our wedding took place in Monroe, Washington and she traveled to us...
for our engagement shoot in May and the wedding in August. She made everyone in the wedding party feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. From our first contact with her to after receiving our wedding photos she felt like a lifelong friend and remained in contact with us throughout our wedding planning process. She comes prepared for anything and is an absolute joy to have apart of your day! The photos came a few weeks later looked absolutely stunning. Our family and friends could not stop raving about how kind and wonderful Areeg is. Our families especially appreciated how efficient she was in regards to capturing all of the family portraits. My husband and I highly recommend Areeg Spencer for your wedding and any other event!
Areeg is absolutely everything you could possibly want in a wedding photographer. My husband and I are not ones for the camera -- in fact, we shy away from it. Areeg helped us to f...
eel comfortable and was such a pro! Our photographs are gorgeous (both engagement and wedding). She really goes the extra mile for her clients and has a passion for love and weddings that is contagious. She is genuinely someone who loves what she does. Her turn around time on photographs is nuts -- we received our full album only 4 weeks after the wedding...I have friends who were married long before me and still waiting for theirs! She has a very natural style that truly brings out the beauty in everyone. I think the best part of Areeg is how much fun she is to be around. She really feels like your best friend and someone you want to hang out with. Hire her. You won't regret it!
I honestly don't even know where to begin! Working with Areeg was the BEST decision we made for our entire wedding. From day one, not only was Areeg extremely professional, but she...
was kind, funny, and genuinely excited for my (now) husband and I. We actually found Areeg's work on Instagram, and we thank our lucky stars that we did! I sobbed when we received our entire wedding album, it was honestly more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. If you are thinking about booking Areeg, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.
After searching through hundreds of photographers instagrams I came across one that really stood out to me... Areeg is exactly what we were looking for! So far we have had our enga...
gement pictures with her and I have no doubt our wedding pictures will be absolutely perfect. Areeg exceeded my expectation. Not only did the pictures capture my fiancé and I perfectly but we got them back so fast! She is by far my favorite vendor I have selected so far! 💖
My, now husband, & I hired Areeg to take our wedding/engagement photos this year. The first thing that caught my eye was her amazing work. It’s so light, romantic, and fun. When we...
messaged her, I was so impressed by her fast response, attention to detail, & the love she has for each person that she comes in contact with. When we met Areeg for our engagement shoot, we were really nervous about it because we had never had professional photos done before but she made it SO easy for us. She’s fun & energetic and makes you feel like it’s just you and the person you’re with. She makes you feel absolutely beautiful. Our entire wedding day, she did every request we wanted and more. If one thing was off In the photos, she made sure to retake until it was perfect. She is the NICEST human being I’ve ever met. She worked amazing with my other vendors & made me feel like a princess. Her work speaks for itself but the behind the scenes is SO important to me. It was so easy to be so in love with my husband in front of the cameras and she does it all so well. She is one of the most artistic & amazing photographers I’ve ever met. I can’t wait to recommend her to EVERY bride or person out there. I hope you hire her so that you can see exactly what I’m talking about. One of the best at her job! �
Areeg is heaven sent from the Photo-Gods!!! She did such an amazing job on our wedding at L’Auberge Del Mar, in San Diego. Areeg is so fun and creative, I couldn’t have chosen a be...
tter photographer to capture the most important moments of our lives. She is very prompt and professional, I emailed her short notice for my wedding that was approaching very fast ( a month away fast). She was very understanding and personable. We talked over the phone and I knew it was meant to be. She truly has the best vibes. She answered all of my questions and acknowledged all of my concerns. Her pictures are so crisp and dreamy. I can’t stop looking at my photos. She captured every moment, from the tears to the laughter. She worked well with my videographers, my coordinators, the wedding party, and everyone else. I would definitely recommend Areeg to any bride to be. Her photos look like they belong in a magazine, she is just that good. Thank you Areeg for being a part of our wedding journey. Thank you for capturing the moments that we will never get back. You are an amazing photographer and I pray that we work with each other again in the future. You hold a special place in our hearts and we will forever remember you.
Love Brittney and Jumichael Davis

mfortable taking pictures with her. There is no awkwardness whatsoever, and she just makes you feel so at ease during such a hectic day. She works hard to build a relationship with you and get you comfortable prior to your big day too through your engagement session.
From the moment she was hired, she was super easy to work with and it was a pleasure. I'm so happy she was our wedding photographer to capture our special day. Love you Areeg!!
