These two sweet humans are members at my gym, Surge to New Levels in Carol Stream, and I patiently waited for Vinny to pop the question (he showed me the ring at the gym the week before he proposed) because I knew Julianna would be reaching out for photos immediately. With a long engagement planned so Julianna can finish school, they booked a Valentine’s mini session with me last month to document these moments of being newly engaged while still planning to do a full session once they begin wedding planning. Absolutely adore how these photos turned out and I am very much looking forward to continue working with these guys.

Photos taken at A Darling Studio in Wicker Park.

Artist's statement

hi, i'm Arielle.

I am an empathic lover girl. Gift giving is my love language. I love deeply, and am unwaveringly passionate about caring for others. Years of experience combined with an empathetic heart have allowed me to anticipate moments that truly capture the essence of your wedding day. I strive to create photos that feel perfectly, yet effortlessly, you. 

Your wedding photos should become apart of your legacy. They deserve to be family heirlooms. You should be able to look at them and remember exactly how you felt in those fleeting moments. 

I specialize in blending documentary photo journalism with fine art, creative portraiture. I aim to capture every moment with intention and care - from event design and perfectly curated details to the unedited joy of you on the dance floor with your best friends. From intimate, single night events to multi-day destination productions, I strive to tell stories within your photo galleries that are a perfect reflection of you. 

It is an honor to be the person behind the lens on your wedding day, and it is one that I will never take for granted.

xo,

Arielle
