Arden recently captured our engagement photos and to say we LOVED her is an understatement. She has a calming presence and is truly amazing at what she does. Arden was professional yet kept us laughing throughout our session. She is organized and prompt. Arden had our pictures to us within 10 days of our engagement session! I could not sing her praises enough. She has such an elegant and timeless style which I LOVE and does such a phenomenal job at capturing the beauty of each couple she photographs.

Wedding Photography
My husband and I worked with Arden for our engagement and wedding photos. We highly recommend Arden Photography for any event you may be having that requires photography! Arden was professional and responsive when it came to planning for the wedding. Once at the location she knew exactly what to do and where to go to get the best shot. Arden and her team helped guide us through the process with posing, which was great because we are no models! Arden made me comfortable on my wedding day as she could tell I was very nervous, and helped me let loose and have some fun! Our pictures are amazing and we are so thankful we were lucky enoougj to work with Arden Photography!

Arden Photography is an absolute must when it comes to choosing a photographer for your wedding, and/or other events. Arden and her Co-photographer Moe are the definition of " dynamic duo" . They are highly skilled and have an eye to get the perfect shots for you. They envision things, you wouldn't even think of for your wedding photo's. As you can imagine, on our wedding day, nerves were flying high, and I was a ball of emotions, and they calmed me and told me exactly how to stand, smile, and stand to get those pictures that we adore, and will love for our lifetime. I am so happy we used Arden, no doubt in my mind that we could have gotten better. They are perfection. :)

With our daughters wedding being at Windwood, Arden was able to choose the perfect backdrops for not only their wedding pictures, but also the engagement pics.

I would highly recommend Arden photography to any of my friends. Mo did our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures and all of them were great. We were a little bit camera shy and she helped both me and my husband feel comfortable taking pictures and looking natural. She kept everything very structured and on time. We had a great time. She was so easy to work with too. She worked so hard to get my wedding album just the way I wanted it! We still continue to keep in touch to this day. Would recommend to anyone!

I would highly recommend Arden to do your wedding! I couldn't have been happier with our photos and the quality of the whole experience (engagement photos, bridal shoot, wedding day). We LOVE our coffee table book and every guest that comes to our house is impressed with the quality of the photos inside. Arden and her team are very professional, kind, considerate of the day and family and truly understand what it means to capture the story of the special day. I also felt like Arden had many different pricing options which made it easy to work into our wedding budget. Definitely call Arden for your big day!
