First off, Ariel is AWESOME, patient, kind, professional and a hardcore experienced photographer and adventurer! We are the worst when it comes to planning things, making commitments (which is why it took us 9 years to get married haha) and planning our wedding was added to the list of things we procrastinated on. Ariel helped us scout locations and plan when we had to cancel our first wedding due to COVID.

She helped us put together a day of timeline that was basically changing till the very moment of the wedding day (due to our horrible time commitments) and she rolled with the flow with us and captured all the magic along the way. She even held my hand many times down a very steep hike that I was terrified of. And to think she hiked down it with all her equipment and no fear!

But let's talk photos. You are going to be beyond happy. Everyone I've shared them with has said they are the most beautiful wedding photos they've ever seen and that they are magazine worthy. And Ariel delivered sneak peaks to us the day after our wedding!

Finally, if you are thinking of booking Ariel for multiple days, do it. We had a very small wedding, but small weddings still come with all the same time constraints and having to entertain guests. I am so thankful we had a second day to take photos just the two of us with no time constraints and no demanding guests! Just pure love and adventure.

Summary, adventure elopements with Ariel are a must!

I cannot say enough good things about Ariel and her talents. I don’t think that there is anyone out there they Ariel couldn’t get along with, her positive attitude and kindness radiate even over the phone! My husband and I found Ariel through google when planning our Alaska elopement and we submitted an inquiry through her website. She was quick to respond, during our phone consultation she was very enthusiastic and did not pressure us to make any hasty decisions. We instantly knew that Ariel was the person that we wanted to work with for planning & photographing our elopement. My husband has a spinal cord injury which often makes travel plans more challenging but Ariel helped us find the perfect location/lodging/activities to accommodate our needs/wants! She herself has had so many experiences in every part of the country since childhood and she is very knowledgeable about things to consider in each location. Our elopement went off without a hitch since Ariel helped remind us of everything to consider and connected us with great vendors. On our wedding day Ariel went above and beyond to make sure that we didn’t have to stress and that we had our best day ever. She not only took the most beautiful photos, she also has a great style of photo editing and she takes great care in her work. We love our photos and so does everyone that we share them with!

Beautiful photography and a magical day.

Ariel was perfect for us! Ariel's energy and excitement was contagious. She helped us put together the perfect celebration and then captured it beautifully.

She is so easy and fun to work with!

“ariel was so helpful, super fun to be around and easy to work with! we contacted her with no ideas other than we wanted to hike, get married on a mountain and we wanted it to be easy.

i had no clue where to start so she talked us through multiple ideas and timelines, suggested other vendors (private chef, hair & make-up, officiant, cake – everything we needed) & helped us plan out the entire day from the ground up.

thanks to her we ended up with the most incredible experience – our day was exactly what i had hoped for & more. i am someone who feels so awkward in front of a camera but her energy and attitude made us both feel super comfortable, it was like we were just hanging out with a good friend.

our photos turned out beautiful and she did an incredible job helping us pick out multiple locations. we are so appreciative of the effort that ariel put into our elopement, we could not have done it without her!

10/10 would recommend”
