You’re dreaming of photos that feel as real and joyful as the moments themselves — the happy tears, the stolen glances, the laughter you can hear just by looking at the picture. You want a photographer you can trust to capture it all without making you feel stiff or staged.
That’s where I come in. I’m Ariel, wedding and portrait photographer for couples who want their love story told with authenticity, warmth, and a touch of fun. I also photograph seniors who want their personality to shine just as brightly as their achievements.
Whether it’s your wedding day or your senior year, my goal is simple: to help you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself in front of my camera… and to give you images you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
You Need a photographer you trust
After photographing dozens of weddings and portraits over the years, I’ve learned that the magic happens when people feel comfortable, cared for, and completely themselves. That’s why I’ve built my business around more than just taking beautiful photos. It’s about creating an experience that helps you feel present in your day and confident in front of my camera.
The moment matters more than perfection

If it were possible to leave more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! There is no one else we would rather have captured our wedding. From the first day we met up to take a mini photo shoot in Downtown Bryan, to the big day, Ariel was both professional and an absolute joy to work with. On a day full of stress and nerves, Ariel was there to lighten the mood and capture every perfect little moment. She has such a happy energy that made it even easier to enjoy the night and let loose. Our friends and family both commented on how much of a joy Ariel is to work with. She truly went above and beyond for us, not to mention the pictures turned out fantastic! We could not recommend her enough and if you are considering going through Ariel to capture any of your special moments, you absolutely won’t regret it!

"Ariel exceeded every expectation I had of her work! The pictures were creative and beautifully done but y’all… The little details… the ones I didn’t even know she was catching. Those are the ones that blew me away."
— Danielle
Ariel did an AMAZING job at capturing our engagement photos!!! She gave us a questionnaire to fill out beforehand, and she checked every box for us! Ariel communicated with us every step of the way and we are so happy with her work. We will treasure our engagement pictures forever!

If you're looking for a sign to book Ariel as your photographer—this is it! Ariel is incredibly talented, and I’ve had the absolute joy of watching her do what she loves with so much passion and creativity. She’s silly (in the best way), fun to be around, and makes every session feel relaxed and joyful.

Things I Love
We don’t realize how special a moment is until it’s gone. That’s where I come in. As a photographer, my job isn’t just to take photos—it’s to preserve the moments that make this season of life so meaningful. From the big, emotional milestones to the quiet, in-between moments—like your parents fastening your necklace or a best friend squeezing your hand before you walk down the aisle—every detail tells your story.
I feel incredibly honored to be trusted with these memories, whether you're marrying your high school sweetheart or walking across the stage as a first-generation graduate. I’m here to celebrate you, to document you as you are, and to make sure you have images that bring you right back to this incredible time in your life.
