Ariel + Austin


Married : September 2, 2017 

Fall wedding’s are absolutely breathtaking and this one definitely didn’t disappoint  !

These two love birds are such a perfect match, just the way Austin looked at Ariel during

their wedding portraits made my heart melt.

Her dress was stunning it was a satin fit & flare gown with lace and beaded bodice to add extra sparkle to this princess’s fairytale wedding.

I love the fact that for the bridesmaid dresses she chose a lovely deep purple along with a lace and beaded bodice that matches Ariel’s

dress for a perfect combination. I also loved the idea of a bride’s guy! He is one of Ariel’s good friends and it definitely showed while

she was getting her hair and make up he was there to answer her calls and text’s so she could remain relaxed before she walked down

the aisle.. He was soo incredibly sweet!

Of course we have to add in a little groom appreciation for this guy right here! He was such a pleasure to photograph as well as

incredibly helpful and set up the venue prior to the bride’s arrival.  So she wouldn’t have to lift a finger except for him to place her

wedding ring on it! Talk about husband of the year award, Nice job Austin!

One of my most favorite parts about wedding day is of course when they exchange vows , and they are allowed to kiss

their new WIFE . The way people kiss is so different from wedding to wedding.. it’s like a form of language that

only the couple understands. To photograph over 15 ceremony kisses a year I have never seen one kiss exactly like the last.

The way they kiss shows emotion and floods the photograph with the love they have for one another and for that very reason is

why I love to photograph ceremonies.

Ariel shared with us some of the reasons she chose a fall wedding for her special day!

“I chose a fall wedding because fall has always been my favorite season. Fall gives me a really warm and happy feeling in my heart with the fresh crisp air, the rich and pretty colors, and the crunch of the leaves. We wanted more of a fall theme, Purple has always been my favorite color! I have always had good memories around fall time and I wanted to make another great memory.”

“Fall treats are also so good thats why we chose s’mores for the party favors!”

I love s’mores they are actually one of my favorite things about fall besides pumpkin spice latte’s !

We are soo blessed to have met this couple and honored to have photographed their special day for them ,

I am excited to see what their future holds for these two . Congratulations Ariel + Austin !

We also would like the creative team that helped make this day go off without a hinge
