adventure session

you can have the traditional wedding, take the photos in an epic location, have your cake, and eat it too

Unpopular opinion: you don't ACTUALLY have to elope to get elopement vibes in your photos.

Whether its the day before or a year later, any day is the perfect day to dress up again and opt outside (sponsor us REI)!

I'm a regular at Big Sur, Joshua Tree and Yosemite, 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.

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!

if you find arielle on your search for a photographer book her!

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.

we are astounded and in love with these pictures

- Pam + Eric

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.

we fell in love with every single picture

TESTIMONIALS

Are park and permit fees included in your rate?

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.

what should we bring with us?

when will we receive our photos?

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!
