I believe the best wedding days are built on preparation, communication, and trust long before the day ever arrives. We’ll walk through everything together, your priorities, your timeline, and the moments that matter most to you. I’ll handle the organization, gently guide the flow of the day, and make sure everything is thoughtfully covered so you can relax and truly enjoy it with the people you love. On the wedding day, my approach is both joyful and intentional. I’m there to celebrate alongside you, notice the quiet in-between moments, and create a calm, seamless experience so you can stay fully present from start to finish.

Having Leah as our photographer was a wonderful experience! She is a creative visionary, willing to take the time needed to produce beautiful photos that you will treasure for a lifetime. She was professional, kind, and so easy to relate to. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!

Before venturing out as Ari Reynolds Photography, my job was to do sales and operations for 700 Weddings and Events each year. With each wedding my knowledge and passion continues to grow. My dad would tell me, "Go make a new friend today." and that is exactly what I do with every client. Celebrate with you like you are my best friend! On your wedding day you can trust that I am going to know your wants and wishes, making it so I can help you navigate through the process. Once we have the vision, I make that dream wedding become a reality.

Omg Ari is a life saver. She is without a doubt the only reason our wedding day went smoothly. She knows what she is doing and she helped me with more than I thought a photographer would. That shows how much she cares about making the photos look good for her clients. Also, her personality is amazing. Even this introvert could vibe and not feel uncomfortable. Meaning I know my photos are going to look more natural. 110% recommend.

We are absolutely blown away by our wedding photos. Natalie did a fabulous job with everything from capturing the most gorgeous detail shots, to posing us in the most beautiful compositions, to photographing the emotional and joyous moments from our day. During the planning process Natalie provided really good guidance as we were working to finalize our timeline for the day. I am so grateful she weighed in because her suggestions really helped the day run smoothly. Her planning materials were also SUPER helpful to make sure I wasn't forgetting any key details. On wedding day Natalie and her second shooter showed up bright and early to get settled and went right into capturing gorgeous detail shots for us. Throughout the entire day she helped keep our photography schedule on time but never made us feel rushed. She was super attentive in giving us feedback when we needed to fix our hair or if something looked out of place. She did a great job checking in with us to see if we needed a break or if we wanted to make day of changes. As a type A person who was feeling all the feels on wedding day this was GREATLY appreciated! Natalie brought a calm but focused energy to our day and it really shows through all of our gorgeous photos. She captured every photo we were hoping for and hundred and hundreds more! We truly can't thank Natalie enough. I knew from the moment we booked her that we were in good hands! Her artistic eye and attention to detail really stand out. Thank you Natalie for capturing these memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. - AJ Walsh

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kayla for both maternity and newborn photos— and we couldn’t be more grateful. At 39 weeks pregnant, I wasn’t feeling my most glamorous, but Kayla made me feel beautiful and comfortable throughout the entire shoot. She has such a calming, encouraging presence and a natural eye for capturing the sweetest, most genuine moments. They are photos I didn’t know I needed and they will be so special to look back on. When our son Charlie arrived, Kayla came back for his newborn session, and once again, she delivered the most stunning photos. She was so gentle and patient with him, taking her time to get the perfect shots while making sure he was cozy and content. The final photos truly took our breath away—timeless, heartfelt, and full of emotion. Kayla’s passion for photography shines through in every image. She captured moments we will cherish forever, and we’re so thankful to have these memories beautifully preserved. Jason (my husband) and I couldn’t thank her enough for sharing her talent with us during such a special time in our lives. Thank you, Kayla!

She spent the entire day with our bridal party taking photos of hair and makeup to dance ending goodbyes. The photos were beyond words.

They were so kind and answered every question we had, and they thought of so many different poses and groupings I wouldn’t have even thought to get. If they were this amazing for a family photo session, I can only imagine how amazing they are on a wedding day. If I could get married again, I would definitely hire Jenessa and Chris!
