Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a photo & video partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

There aren’t enough words to describe how great Arielle is! From her promptness and communication to her creativity and how comfortable she made us feel. As someone who is super shy and worried about having their photo taken, Arielle’s personality set me at ease. After our experience with our engagement photos and the quality of what we got back, we knew we made the right choice in photographer. We recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer and would gladly choose her all over again.

Arielle is the best photographer I’ve ever had the pleasure to come across and get photographed by! She did a family session for my partner, son and I, and I’ve never been more happy with photos. She is also the MOST fun and kind person to get to know and makes a friend out of everyone. She made me feel so beautiful and confident, took pride in her work, knew exactly how to pose us and what kind of shoot to do, works great with kids and all kinds of people, did an absolutely fantastic job!

Arielle is a very gifted photographer 📸 She is able to capture the moment in a real and true way and have it look good. She helps people feel relaxed too and makes it fun! She has a keen eye for backgrounds and what would look best for the photo. I am now a repeat customer and wouldn't want to work with anyone else.

I don’t even know how to describe how amazing it was to have Arielle photograph our wedding. I knew I loved her style from what I’d seen online, and she absolutely delivered and then some. But beyond her beautiful photographs, her personality and good energy she brought to our day was what makes her so good at what she does. Several of our guests told us how fun she was to have on the dance floor, and that she felt like another guest at the wedding. She felt like a friend as soon as she showed up, and as a result, we weren’t nervous to have our pictures taken at all (and we’re usually more comfortable behind the camera than in front). I cannot recommend Arielle enough. 10/10!

I can't even begin to explain how much we loved working with Arielle! She photographed our wedding at the end of August, and she honestly helped make our special day the best it could possibly be. She kept an amazing energy for the entire event--even our guests noticed and have mentioned several times how great Arielle was. Our photos turned out perfect and truly captured a balance of posted moments as well as the candid moments. We 100% recommend working with Arielle for your wedding!
