Hold Onto the Feeling Long After the Adventure Ends
Because the best adventures deserve to be remembered forever.
📍Sequoia, Yosemite, and your favorite National Park
YOUR SPECIAL DAY
SHOULD FEEL LIKE YOUR GREATEST ADVENTURE
It should feel like the two of you, wandering through giant trees or enjoying the sunrise over Half Dome, fully at peace, soaking in every moment of your greatest adventure yet.
My experience is built for you if care about how your day feels not just about how it looks.
Your connection, adventure, and your unique love.
Most couples dream of a peaceful, meaningful day like this but are not sure where to start. Need a local bestie to tell you the ins and outs of Sequoia + Yosemite?
Photography is what I do, but helping couples experience the places I love is what drives me.
Most couples come looking for a photographer. The ones who connect with me are looking for something more: a local guide, planning partner, and adventure bestie all in one.
From permits and logistics to hidden gems and meaningful experiences, I help create a day that feels effortless, personal, and true to you.
Your only job is to be present and enjoy the adventure.
Hi, I’m Ariel,
Just a gal who loves big landscapes and love!
“Having a photographer we felt comfortable with. It felt very light hearted and you made it easy for us to enjoy the moment even though we aren't very comfortable in front of a camera.”
Loved it! We felt very comfortable throughout the entire experience and appreciated all the guidance provided. We also really appreciate the timeline as it allowed for a private moment and also time for us to explore Sequoia National Park before the crowd came through. Communication was top notch and the whole process felt very complete. Having a photographer we felt comfortable with to share our proposal with.
