This whole season is like one big ice cream cookie love sandwich with your proposal and wedding being the delicious cookie ends and your engagement photos that yummy vanilla center. This is the time to SHOW YOU OFF because everyone's got a sweet tooth for you guys and it's going to leave them wanting more.
INQUIRE ABOUT YOUR DATE
Welcome to your very own little docuseries with the happiest ending. There's no script, just a camera guy (me!) following you around for less than an hour observing and guiding the entire time. You won't need to ask what to do with your hands, or what facial expression to use because it'll just come naturally.
Let's get this party started babyyy! Sure, this may not be the cheapest date you two ever go on, but the return on investment? What a steal. During our time together you'll be jumping, twirling, snuggling, and loving all up on each other - basically your cardio/quality time plus you get cute pics.

Your connection is the star of the show. The whole experience will be totally comfortable and guided, promise.
2 weeks from our shoot date, your edited, high-res photos will be sent to your inbox in a private gallery. Docuseries binge watching commence.
Fill out my contact form or shoot me an email with your availability! We'll talk about you two, Pinterest boards, and how much fun this is going to be.
I will send over suggested locations and outfit recommendations (upon request). I'll also double check sunset times so we can take advantage of golden hour.
I loved working with Arielle! She was so sweet and so fun to work with! She made us feel so comfortable and definitely made my vision come to life! We came all the way from Minnesota to work with her! We eloped less than 2 weeks later and kindly asked if she could have the pictures ready sooner and she was very accommodating!
We absolutely loved working with Arielle. One thing that really stuck out was her friendly and bubbly spirit! Arielle is so easy to work with, and made the entire shoot feel so light-hearted and fun. If you're looking for a great photographer to work with, she is definitely your gal!
There are no words to describe the incredible experience my fiance and I had with Arielle! We're both goofy, awkward and very low maintenance couple so taking pictures is something we are not used to. When we got our photos we were so in love! She captured our relationship perfectly and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Thank you so much Arielle!
We love every body here! If there's an obvious photobomb or poorly timed zit, you bet its sayonara sammy (New Girl ref). Other than that I won't do any retouching that affects the way you look naturally.
To air on the side of cliché - wear what you feel comfortable in! Earthy tones always photograph well: creams, browns, muted blues and greens, rust. For your outfits, you could bring one dress and one bottom/top combo, or two different kinds of button downs. Mix a big pattern w/ a small pattern. The world is your oyster.
Each engagement session comes with a minimum of 35 photos. Lucky for all of us, I tend to get a little camera happy and always overshoot - long story short you'll most likely receive more photos than promised!
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!
