wedding at the morton arboretum

After a long winter and spring, it felt SO nice to be back at it this past weekend with a wedding at the Morton Arboretum with Eden and Alex! The last time I saw the pair it down poured, so it was nice to be reunited under better weather. Their wedding day was an absolute treat and it was a great start to my busiest month.

The pair got ready at the Marriott in Naperville before heading to the Arboretum for their first look. Alex’s reaction when seeing Eden was one of many highlights from the day. The florals were STUNNING, the decor fit the vibe perfectly, and we couldn’t have had a more perfect day.

BEHIND THE LENS

hi, i'm ARIELLE.

You can usually find me home with my golden retriever or day dreaming of my next trip to Italy.

I am a firm believer in living life with purpose and never missing the opportunity to experience something new. The Meyers-Briggs test says I am an INFJ with ESFJ qualities (an introverted extrovert, IYKYK), and my friends say I am the person they come to when they need comfort, advice, or fresh baked goods. I consider myself an empath, so special moments you share with your loved ones will likely get me all teary eyed and sentimental. I am not here to pretend life is picture perfect, but to capture genuine emotion and create timeless pieces of art to decorate your home. I’m constantly striving for perfection, but have a calming personality and am relatively easy going. 

When the camera is not around my neck, I am a big home body. I love hanging on the couch with my dog, making pasta, breads and desserts from scratch, squatting 400+ pounds in the gym, or plotting my next trip outside of the US. As a direct descendant of Italian immigrants, I feel most at home in Italy (and speak a bit of Italian, too.)

Arielle has photographed over 175 weddings across 12 states, 5 countries, and 3 continents. While her heart beats for coastal and countryside Italian weddings, she is willing to travel anywhere and everywhere to document your day.
