You love being outdoors and want a wedding day that actually feels like you
You are happiest when you are out in nature with your favorite person.
You want a day that feels true to who you are. No rules. No pressure. Just a day that feels real.
You want to show up as your adventurous and authentic self without stress, for one unforgettable Sequoia elopement
Maybe you want to explore the giant trees, wander quiet trails, or watch the light change over the mountains.
Maybe you want a slow morning together in the forest before the adventure begins.
Maybe you want a day that feels more like an adventure date than a traditional wedding.
You know you don’t want…
I get it.
✗ A wedding day packed with pressure and expectations
✗ A day that feels planned for everyone except the two of you
✗ Saying your vows in front of people who barely know your story
You crave a Sequoia Wedding that feels more like:
✔ A day centered around the two of you and the way you love. The quiet moments. The laughter. The real connection.
✔ A day that feels calm, meaningful, and free of the usual wedding stress Just you, your partner, and the forest surrounding you.
✔ A day that reflects who you are, not what tradition expects Unique. Personal. Intentional.
✔ A day spent doing what you love with the person you love most. Slow morning coffee. Exploring the giant trees. Watching the light change together at sunset.
Your Sequoia Elopement Photographer
I believe the best parts of a wedding day aren’t the big materialistic things that won’t matter years from now. They’re the small, quiet moments. The way you look at each other. The laughter. Exploring a place you love with your favorite person by your side. The feeling of the day.
As someone who loves being outdoors just as much as you do, I specialize in creating elopement experiences that actually feel like the two of you. You’re not looking for stiff, traditional wedding photos. You want something real. Something that reflects your connection and your love for adventure.
As your Sequoia elopement photographer, my goal is to capture your day in a way that truly reflects your connection and the way you love each other.
let’s work together!

It’s an adventure.
It’s intentional.
It’s personal.
It’s meaningful.
And the photos are the way you get to remember every moment of it. Forever
I’ll let my couples tell you about their experience:
“Ariel made us feel completely comfortable, like we were being captured by a friend rather than a photographer.”
Working with Ariel was an absolute pleasure! From planning things to delivering photos was seamless experience . This was our first time getting professional photos taken, and we’re so glad Ariel was the one behind the camera. She knew some amazing spots in the Valley that made for beautiful backdrops. The whole experience was so memorable, and the photos turned out stunning. Ariel was also incredibly quick in delivering the final images, and we absolutely love them! We can't wait to frame our favorite ones. We highly recommend Ariel and would love to work with her again in the future!

“It felt like we were just hanging out with some friends who happened to take our photos”
“It was amazing! I honestly could not ask for more. From your suggestions during planning, scouting ahead delivering the photos so quickly (they turned out SO GOOD!)... You were such a lovely person to work with and we had so much fun being photographed. It felt like we were just hanging out with some friends who happened to take our photos. Posing in front of the camera felt so easy and natural because you were so nice and cheerful - it really made us feel so comfortable. We are so grateful and wouldn’t have had it any other way. I'm so glad we found you for our special moment and thank you, truly, for capturing it in the best way possible.
