Photos by Ariel

ple and didn't have many dreams of what our wedding would look like. BUT we knew we wanted it photographed in the best way, no matter what happened that day. And when I say Ariel delivered, she DELIVERED. We had a huge wedding party. Like. 30. And 270 guests. She captured literally every single special moment from that day and when I looked back at the photos, I felt exactly how I did in those moments. The best decision we made for this wedding was hiring Ariel (And JACOB!!) as our photographer and videographer. So kind, so easy to work with, so incredibly talented. I forgot a lot of things this day, and somehow she managed to make it still happen. I will never be able to thank her enough!

n and runs with it to the fullest. Ariel is kind and energetic and personable. She was one of our most talked about vendors in the best way. So many compliments! We cannot wait to see our pictures she took of our amazing day!

ve.

gagement and wedding pictures and I really like the portal she uses for payments and messages. I highly recommend booking with her if she’s available for your big day, you will be so glad you did!

make the day fun (even in extreme hot temperatures). I initially inquired information about a lot of photographers, but when Ariel sent me her information and I looked over her website and social media pages, I knew she was the one I wanted to hire. My experience working with Ariel was truly SO MUCH FUN!! On our engagement shoot, she drove to my family’s farm and took pictures of us while a huge thunderstorm (and later tornado) rolled in, and still to this day, we are obsessed with those pictures. Her concept was capturing the best experience even if we were soaking wet afterwards. That shoot was truly the most fun I’ve ever had while taking pictures. Since our wedding was during COVID, we had a lot of things up in the air until the last month before the wedding and Ariel continued to check-in with me about our upcoming plans, which was so sweet! On the day of our wedding, during the 100+ degree temperatures, she helped keep up with the timeline (even when the boys were behind) and truly made me feel so relaxed during the process. She made the posed pictures so fun and her creative style really shows when you get the images back. Also on the day of the our wedding, she graciously took the guy’s getting ready pictures at the golf course during a round of golf. When we received our gallery, I spent at least 4 hours that night looking through all of them and sending them to friends and family because I was obsessed. If you are looking for a wedding photographer who will make taking pictures fun, make you’re wedding day stress free, and capture your day beautifully, hire Ariel. At the end of our wedding, I felt like Ariel was one of my friends. I could not have imagined having anyone else capture our special day!

recall the memories created, not a direction given. Ariel made everything so easy; she is extremely organized and prompt. Very accommodating and listened to all of my ideas and wants for the day. She delivered her work within the contracted time frame and offered a few sneak-peaks while we waited for the finished product! We have so many exceptional images we are having a difficult time deciding which ones to frame. We couldn’t ask for better photographs to remember our wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to work with!

ything. On a personal side, Ariel is so encouraging and funny, really helping us feel calm, comfortable, and laughing during our engagement and wedding shoots. And the pictures she produces are absolutely amazing! I was initially drawn to her by her photography style, and our pictures turned out so incredible. I can’t wait to have our post-COVID wedding reception pictures from her, too!

ciated with how these two would carry out their jobs. It was truly nice to not have to worry about the photos and videos because I knew we were in good hands. Ariel did our photographs and Jacob did our videography work. It was unbelievable to have two extremely artistic and savvy people work off of each other and feed off of each other. Ariel and Jacob are an elite team, they made us feel comfortable, it was truthfully like spending time with friends. The actual wedding day was a breeze Ariel and Jacob showed up early and got right to work. Again they made us feel comfortable and not once overwhelmed. Not once did they judge us or pressure us into doing anything uncomfortable. This day couldn’t have been better, we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to capture our day! The best decision we made was choosing a destination wedding in Tennessee, and secondly choosing Ariel and Jacob to capture our day!

around our day being changed completely due to the rain. Ariel was great about wrangling our large families and making sure all of the pictures we wanted were done. I will note that although we had two photographers we were under the impression that one would be with the groom getting ready and one with the bride. That was not the case come the day of so if that is your plan or need, make sure you specify. We loved our pictures and how unique they were to our special day. Jacob Tyler Media did an amazing job with our video and the two of them as a team worked so well together. We were so happy with our experience and thankful we chose Ariel to be a part of our experience front the planning, to the engagement pictures, to the day of the wedding.

t job making us feel comfortable, and she captured real feelings in the photos. If I could go back and choose again, I would 1000% still pick Photos by Ariel, and I would definitely recommend her to others!

the perfect shot! Ariel is super easy to work and communicate with. She is on top of her emails/calls/texts! I can't say enough good things about her and our experience thus far.

mily. She is sweet, genuine, and patient. She knows what she is doing and is very reliable. I honestly don't know what we would have done if my husband and I wouldn't have found Ariel. We feel truly blessed and I would 100% recommend her to ANYONE!

ghout the entire day, she was also approachable, organized, and truly a joy to work beside. Ariel made sure to coordinate and confirm all of the details for the ceremony and reception ahead of time with our team and was in communication with our team throughout the entire wedding. Beyond her incredible professionalism and quality work, Ariel’s demeanor was so pleasant. From the moment we met her through the end of the night, Ariel was smiling, interacting with the bridal party and guests, and was bringing a positive energy to the entire room. We could not recommend her more.

all over social media and get them printed wherever I want. My pictures turned out great!

she genuinely cares about you and capturing your moments. She is absolutely wonderful!

very situation makes it an enjoyable experience. If you have an idea, even if it's crazy, let her know. She will take it and run with it - or if it's to crazy come up with another option... and sometimes that's even better. 🙂❤️

of it! She got beautiful shots of my dress blowing in the wind! So in love!! She kept us informed on when she would have our wedding pictures done and was giving us sneak peeks to hold us over! HIGHLY recommend Ariel for any type of pictures you need! She also does amazing family and baby pictures!!

tient and attentive to everyone's feelings that day. As the mother of the bride, I was emotional and she captured those "special moments" that my daughter and I shared as well as with everyone else. I always have a hard time getting my son in law to smile naturally when we are taking snapshots and Ariel brought out the BEST in him and got him to smile :) Very professional and kept things moving along without coming off as bossy or rude to anyone. Not only is Ariel a remarkable photographer, but the words she writes to go with the pictures, really sets her out amongst any other photographer I have ever used. Between her photos, her words, and her bubbly personality, she really is the BEST! We have 3 more daughters and you can bet we will be contacting her for them as well!

meant so much. Knowing our photographer wanted to know us and the we are not just another session is an amazing feeling. We can’t wait for the next opportunity to call on her!
