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.

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
