Kind Words
First off, Ariel is AWESOME, patient, kind, professional and a hardcore experienced photographer and adventurer! We are the worst when it comes to planning things, making commitments (which is why it took us 9 years to get married haha) and planning our wedding was added to the list of things we procrastinated on. Ariel helped us scout locations and plan when we had to cancel our first wedding due to COVID.
She helped us put together a day of timeline and captured all the magic along the way.
Let's talk photos. You are going to be beyond happy. Everyone I've shared them with has said they are the most beautiful wedding photos they've ever seen and that they are magazine worthy. Ariel delivered sneak peaks to us the day after our wedding!
Finally, if you are thinking of booking Ariel for multiple days, do it. We had a very small wedding, but small weddings still come with all the same time constraints and having to entertain guests. I am so thankful we had a second day to take photos just the two of us with no time constraints and no demanding guests! Just pure love and adventure.
Summary, adventure elopements with Ariel are a must!

“Ariel helped us plan our elopement along with several other aspects of our trip to Alaska, including lodging and a second adventure session in a second location (which she handled lodging for as well). She scouted out the perfect private chef, a bakery for the most amazing cake I have ever seen, or tasted, in my life, and a bouquet that would make even the biggest scrooge on earth feel warm and fuzzy. Ariel was available not only during the wedding day and second adventure day, but checked in on us regularly throughout our entire trip while in Alaska. I am so grateful we found such a down to earth vendor, and now friend, for our wedding.”
