Ari was a fantastic photographer for my wedding in January 2026 at The Pearl in SF. It was a very simple, straightforward process working with him and really made the wedding planning process and day-of super easy and laid back! He took some amazing photographs of my family and amazing artistic, gorgeous candids that we love! He also did a fantastic job of capturing my dog who was a focal point for our wedding and I will cherish those photos forever. Highly recommend Ari!

Ari is a true artist! We honestly couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our spring wedding at Park Winters! We went into this knowing we wanted someone who could authentically capture our special day with a photojournalistic approach — minimal posed photos, just genuine emotion and natural beauty. Ari delivered exactly what we hoped for and then some.

On our wedding day, while we were busy soaking up every moment, he was quietly working his magic and capturing memories we didn't even realize were happening.

Ari is a master at capturing motion and emotion. The photos are absolutely gorgeous. Natural, crisp, and beautiful without any weird filters or over-the-top editing. Everyone who's seen them has been blown away. Ari didn't just take pictures of our wedding—he captured the whole feeling of the day in a way that makes us smile every single time we look at them.

If you're looking for someone who's incredibly talented but also just genuinely lovely to be around, go with Ari. He gave us memories we'll treasure forever, and we're so grateful we found him!

I hired Ari to photograph our wedding in July 2023 at the Hideout in Kirkwood, CA after seeing the photos he took of our friends' wedding and loving the style of the photos in his portfolio. Ari was a fantastic, professional presence. He was easy to work with and accommodating. He reached out well in advance to ask us about wedding details and what kinds of shots we wanted. My wishes were to make sure we had candids of people having fun and Ari got that covered. I wasn't very prescriptive, but Ari made sure we had amazing shots with plenty of coverage of the whole party. Ari also did a good job of grabbing us for short bursts of portraits during the reception, rather than needing us to sit through a single block of posing and smiles.

Ari was also an infectiously positive, happy presence at the wedding.

One concern I had was that with a single photographer, we'd miss out on shots relative to having a photographer team, but we had plenty of coverage, with additional fun surprises, so I'm glad I stuck with Ari.

Ari went above and beyond! If you want someone who will help you make your day beautiful, make your vision come true, and document the best day of your life, you need to book with Ari. Through his photography, Ari tells a beautiful story. He really makes your special day even more special.

We got married at the Citizen Hotel on October 1, 2022. Ari was there on-time, had a game plan, and executed it perfectly. He started with capturing our preparations with family and friends for the day. Then he planned out a beautiful first look between me and my husband. After that, we took the standard family portraits. Thereafter, Ari was a fly on the wall, documenting our day, getting every angle imaginable. We barely noticed him! He was just there to tell the tale of our day with his camera.

The photos were spectacular and far exceeded our expectations. From the soft tender moments to the wild dancing later in the evening, each picture was taken with care, a sharp eye, and artistry. Even when we and our guests were drunkenly dancing at the end of the night, the photos capture the joy of the celebration above all else.

Ari was the perfect photographer for our wedding and our engagement photo shoot. We would hire him again in a heartbeat! The wedding was amazing on its own, but the way Ari captured the moments, the love, the energy...these photos let us cherish and relive all the joy and love we felt that day. He is a must have for your wedding.

My husband and I were married this July at a vineyard in Napa, CA. Leading up to the wedding, Ari made me feel at ease. He helped me plan the timeline of the day and made suggestions for photo opportunities.

The day of the wedding, Ari was the first one to the venue, preparing and making sure everything was ready to go for our arrival. He made sure we took all of the important family photos, and was very patient with all of our guests.

We were a little untraditional and actually did a post-wedding photoshoot the day after in Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve (as opposed to an engagement shoot because we don't live in the area). It was honestly a super fun experience, he was so willing to walk around the woods with us and take some great unique pictures.

Ari got our photos back to us shortly after we returned from our honeymoon and they were beautiful. Exceeded my expectations and then some! Thank you, Ari!!

My daughter recommended Ari to be my photographer and I cannot express enough how satisfied I am with his work. Our wedding pictures came out ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! He made the whole experience fun and comfortable. We were completely at easy with Ari. He is very skilled. An eye for detail, we highly recommend!!! You will not be disappointed! Thank you very much Ari!

Ari was our photographer at our wedding in San Francisco in late September at The Pearl. Ari and his second photographer Kevin were both tremendous to work with, and very subtle and unobtrusive in their approach with our guests, and we ended up with beautiful results. Ari was communicative and helpful throughout the process, including a year-long delay to the event due to COVID.

He has a really unique artistic lens through which he shot our big day; there were so many unexpected shots that we are incredibly happy to have. We chose him because of his "photojournalistic" style which we felt really complemented the aesthetic we were going for. We really wanted someone to take the reins, someone we could trust to give us direction and capture the moment in ways that we could not have thought of. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

Our officiant/groom's sister had this to say when she saw our wedding photos: "I'm ugly crying at my desk right now - your photographer is AMAZING!"

Our special circumstances caused our wedding celebration to be pushed up and so planning began ...without a wedding planner. We had just purchased a beautiful ranch-like property which would be our venue. Fortunately, that was already half the battle. T-minus 3 weeks to plan and my wife wanted nothing more than to have a professional to take photos to document our special day. I found Ari through my social media connections whom I have been following since college and he was truly amazing to work with. He was super responsive, attentive to our needs, and went above and beyond. Most importantly, he was available!! My wife was most excited about the photobooth he had offered us. 9/18/21 Our wedding day was perfect. The weather was in our favor; 80s with a breeze since it was a daytime event. Friends and family were helping out with last minute prep and decoration. Ari was on point with what he offered and more. He captured our Tea Ceremony at the groom’s family’s home in the morning and then our reception in the afternoon. We were both very impressed with Ari working as a one man team to capture our moments as the newlyweds as well as moments of our family. We gave all of our trust in him to do what he does best and never had to “look for him”. He would bounce around to capture all angles of the wedding and when we turned around, he was there with us. Ari was very accommodating and generous with his time with us. The tone of our wedding was set to casual (due to the rush in planning) but looking back at the photos he sent us, it was more than we could have imagined. He really made our photos come to life. What was supposed to be a rushed casual wedding turned out to be the wedding of our dreams. Oh and, in DAYS Ari had already sent us the link to our files. Thank you so so much!

My wife and I were married in July 2021 in San Luis Obispo, CA. We were lucky enough to know Ari from when he photographed my sister's wedding 9 years ago, so we knew we would be in good hands. But we were absolutely blown away by the both Ari's on the ground professionalism & the quality of the photos. He was a great, understated presence on the big day -- meaning we have photos of EVERY moment, while sometimes not even noticing he was there (though we did all have a lot of fun on a wild 4 wheeler ride to our sunset photos). He captured the intimate moments, the emotions, and the fun of the party all equally well -- we can't stop looking at them to relive our wedding. Can't recommend Ari enough!

Ari was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! We had a pre-meeting to talk about the day. He showed up early, my planner was thrilled to work with him. We barely knew he was there & he shot at two locations (church & country club). In less than 24hrs we had a slideshow & over 600 images in our gallery! This is the second wedding that Ari has shot for our family. We will absolutely use him again.
