What it’s like to work with me.

Working with me feels calm. There’s space to move at your own pace, and space for the moments that aren’t planned but end up meaning the most. I stay flexible, move quietly, and know when to guide. I approach each wedding with a balance of observation and direction, stepping in only when it makes the moment better, so the day feels easy and the images feel effortless.

For my clients, this means photographs that feel refined yet natural, capturing both the energy and intimacy of the day. You’re free to stay present while I document the gestures, glances, and moments that give your wedding its shape. Whether it’s a single day or a multi-day celebration, the result is a story you’ll return to, not just images you scroll past.

I found Arielle's work on instagram and fell in love. Her eye and style was exactly was I had in mind when I pictured wedding photos. Matt and I had the pleasure of shooting with Arielle in NYC for our engagement shoot. Living here for 15+ years, Arielle captured Matt and I in the most new, authentic way on a beautifully gloomy day. Arielle photographed our wedding in Southwest Michigan on the Lake. She and her second photographer were beyond professional, calm and made everyone feel so comfortable. They felt like an extension of our friends and family. Arielle was patient, super communicative, collaborative and efficient. I am absolutely obsessed with our photos from her!
