Genuine moments, remembered.
My process allows you to be unapologetically yourselves in front of my camera. An easy, laid back experience from start to finish.
THE wedding day EXPERIENCE
HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
In an effort to never over sell you on coverage, I usually start shooting around the time hair and make-up is finishing, and end anywhere from 20-60 minutes into the dance floor being open for guests. My most common booking for full day coverage is eight hours. I do my best to maximize my time with you and make sure my team and I are able to document every important moment throughout the day.
It is expected that clients working with Arielle are working with a partial or full service wedding coordinator. It is not required for Arielle's associate team, but encouraged.
“I am so speechless. I can't believe these are my wedding photos.”
That's what I am going to look back on when I'm old? When I show my kids?! We love them and cannot thank Arielle enough.
— JULISSA & FERNANDO
"Your photos bring me joy and love, make me feel beautiful, make me nostalgic.”
I don't know how you do it, but I am so thankful for it. You are beyond talented. Even more, you are so incredibly kind, inspiring, passionate and an amazing human being all around. We are so thankful you documented our wedding day.
— SUSANNA & ADAM
“Arielle is an amazing artist and anyone lucky enough to have her as their photographer found the rarest gem in the galaxy. She is our photographer for life.”
— ERICA & JASMINE

Arielle has shot all of our family's biggest moments, from our engagement, to our wedding, and recently the birth of our daughter. I will never recommend anyone but her. She always goes above and beyond and all of her work is just amazing. We are just forever grateful to have these beautiful memories to look back on and will continue to work with Arielle for years to come. Hire her, you won't regret it.

Frequently asked questions
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO YOU BOOK?
Wedding clients typically book 6-12 months out, but some book sooner and some later.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BOOK YOU?
To book, you must have a confirmed wedding date and venue.
do you recommend engagement photos?
Short answer: yes. But it is not required. They help you get comfortable in front of the camera, and it allows us to get to know each other before your wedding day.
how much should i expect to spend?
My average client investment is $8000 and above for 2024. Average investment with Vanessa is $4000.
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
Yes. I only require that 25% of your balance is due at the time of contract signing. The remainder can be broken up into as many or as little payments as you need.
how many weddings do you shoot per year?
After being in the industry for almost a decade, I am very selective about who I work with and the number of weddings I take on. It allows me to have the energy to document your day without burnout. I aim to shoot 15-20 weddings per calendar year.
