Whether its the day before, the month after, or a year later, there’s always time to opt outside (sponsor us REI)! I'm a regular at Joshua Tree and Yosemite National Parks, but you can bet if you want to put on the wedding gear and trek somewhere new, I’m bringing my pass, boots, and the snacks.
INQUIRE ABOUT YOUR DATE
This is where the crazy adventure lady in me comes out (I'm the type to be planning the next trip while still on the current one haha). I love scheduling out everything to make your adventure as stress-free as possible so you can soak up the landscape around you. Trailheads, snack breaks, touch ups, you got it!
These are the epic, grandiose, Nat Geo worthy photos (yes you are 100% Nat Geo worthy). They can happen any day, without the stress the BIG day can sometimes bring. And guess what? For Joshua Tree, Yosemite, Big Sur & Santa Barbara, travel fees are already covered.

We'll meet outside the park and caravan in (since cell service can be spotty). We'll stop at our spots and any other pretty places we see along the way. Don't worry, we'll have water and snack breaks!
All of that adventure will be wrapped up in a pretty little gallery and delivered in 2 weeks for you guys to think "damn we're cool" for years to come.
We'll talk over how far (or not far) we want to hike, comfort-levels, places you've gotta see, and everything else.
Based on our call, I will plan out our itinerary. The only thing that might change is our session time, depending on what time the sun sets when we visit. This will be emailed to you 2 weeks before our shoot date.
My fiance and I went to California on vacation and knew we wanted our engagement pictures done at Joshua Tree. I stumbled upon Arielle's page on Instagram and it could not have been a better experience! She made us feel so comfortable and easy-going taking pictures and we had so much fun!
ARIELLE. WE ARE ASTONISHED. WE ARE ASTOUNDED AND IN LOVE WITH THESE PICTURES. HOLY TOLEDO YOU ARE INCREDIBLE AND REALLY CAPTURED SOMETHING SO SO WONDERFUL.
Hiring Arielle to capture us was the absolute best decision! Speaking on the phone with her to nail down all the details for our session was so easy + pleasant as she made me feel like we were friends on a catch-up phone call! She was so kind and helpful to make sure we had all the required permits for our shoot. We love Arielle and would definitely recommend...her.
Park and permit fees are additional! My rate includes all of the goodies: 45+ edited images, a personalized itinerary, 2 outfit changes, and total guidance.
Wear comfy walking shoes and bring your fancy ones to change into, snacks, water, and sunblock. Other things couples have brought: lipgloss, compact mirror, wipes, hangers, and a backpack to put things in (that I will carry for you)! I'll bring my standing tent if you want to change onsite.
These pretty pictures will be delivered to your inbox in a private, pin-protected gallery within 2 weeks of our shoot date.
Travel fees are included for ALL of the following: Joshua Tree, Yosemite, Santa Barbara, Big Sur, and Orange County. Outside that range? Let's talk details and get this travel on a budget!
