About Ariel Kaitlin Photography

Ariel

The spunky and energetic photographer over here! I like warm hugs (if you get that Disney reference then we’re def going to be fast friends), am constantly on the lookout for the best chai, and shout “shit biscuits” just a little too often. I’m here to help guide my fun-loving, nerdy couples through the wedding planning process and offer expletive laden compliments when they inevitably kill it at their session. Most importantly though I will celebrate this exciting time in your life with you while becoming a dear friend for years to come. Dog Obsessed | Board Game Enthusiast | Science Nerd | Rock Climbing Addict

I’m a scientist turned photographer - no, really! Because of my scientific background I approach marriage a bit differently. I believe marriage is a union between two equal partners choosing to stand by one another with love, respect, and support. We are openly LGBTQIA+ inclusive and we celebrate all ethnicities and faiths. Your wedding should represent the both of you and your relationship together so I focus on both partners and what is important to them to highlight your relationship.

    Ariel and Alex are awesome! They are very comfortable to work with and we thought they did a great blend of staging great looking formal photos with a more documentary style of delivery. Ariel is so thorough - our sneak peak was literally an entire album of photos. Quality was excellent!

  • Phenomenal!!

    We absolutely LOVE all of the photos so much! Ariel and Alex are a dream team!!! They made everything so easy for us, and they are truly invested in making the couple’s experience the best possible! They were able to capture the magic of our wedding through all the images, and every picture authentically captured all of our family and friends. The pictures are so good, it feels like reliving the best day since we can see how much fun all of our guests had. Ariel has such a great artistic eye, and I truly enjoyed getting to know her and have her capture such an important day!

    Ariel Kaitlin Photography does not disappoint! I searched high and low for a wedding photographer that I liked and was within my budget. Let me preface my review with saying, "you get what you pay for." I, without a doubt, hit the jackpot with Ariel. Ariel and Alex were the dynamic duo of my dreams AND MORE. While posing for photos can be a bit awkward and stiff, Ariel and Alex make it FUN and make you loosen up and ditch the nerves on your wedding day. Ariel went above and beyond to capture 'the shot' on my wedding day... She stood on a porch banister and crouched in a bush to get what she needed. I know she will do this for all of her couples, even though I want to believe she did this only for me. Ariel has an eye for details, light, and capturing what is real, authentic and stunning. She makes her couples feel seen, and makes friends with her couples, so the couple can enjoy those special moments and ultimately, their special day. Her organization skills and attention to details are impeccable and she honestly kept everyone else on track on the wedding day, and let me say this... THIS MATTERS SO MUCH since time does fly on your big day. I don't remember much about my other vendors, (as a couple, you spend the most face time with your photographers) but I do remember my photographers and I consider myself lucky to have found and booked Ariel, and even luckier now that I've convinced them to stay friends with me and my husband. So with all that said, if you're looking for a personable, fun, photographer, who delivers stunning photos that you'll cherish forever LOOK NO FURTHER. Book with Ariel, you can thank me later!

    Ariel and Alex make a fantastic team and are SO TALENTED! They went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special. My favorite part of their work is how they capture people’s personalities through their photography style. We had so much fun working with them!!! Our gallery made us happy cry and laugh all over again because it represented our day so well. Ariel is extremely well organized and runs her business so well. She is a wealth of knowledge about all things weddings and provided us with so much helpful insight along the whole planning process. Our engagement shoot was also an absolute blast and we loved getting to know Ariel and Alex prior to our wedding day. They are such lovely & genuine people. We are SO thankful to have worked with Ariel Kaitlin Photography for our wedding!
