Ariel & Alex capture it all!

Ariel and Alex are awesome! They are very comfortable to work with and we thought they did a great blend of staging great looking formal photos with a more documentary style of delivery. Ariel is so thorough - our sneak peak was literally an entire album of photos. Quality was excellent!

We love Ariel!

Ariel and Alex are incredible photographers- we went over budget because we fell in love with their work, and we have no regrets. Highly recommend getting engagement photos done with them in addition to wedding photography-- we were grateful to establish a relationship with them and understand their style of photographing prior to the wedding. Ariel was very responsive to questions throughout the wedding planning process and even agreed to meet over coffee to discuss logistics prior to submitting our shot list preferences, which I appreciated. It was awesome to see them working on the day of-- the time management and efficiency needed to get everything done and everyone in the right place is no feat, and they were seriously locked in and professional. Turnaround time thus far has been very quick and we can't wait to get back the final portfolio! The photos we've received from our wedding sneak peak have been stunning-- they managed to make our rainy and oppressively humid wedding look so vibrant, light, and airy. On top of all that, we really loved how genuinely kind and non-judgmental Ariel is-- she makes everyone around her feel welcome and at ease, and that goes a long way in capturing natural photos and establishing trust. Thank you Ariel and Alex!

November Wedding

Ariel and Alex make a fantastic team and are SO TALENTED! They went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special. My favorite part of their work is how they capture people’s personalities through their photography style. We had so much fun working with them!!! Our gallery made us happy cry and laugh all over again because it represented our day so well. Ariel is extremely well organized and runs her business so well. She is a wealth of knowledge about all things weddings and provided us with so much helpful insight along the whole planning process. Our engagement shoot was also an absolute blast and we loved getting to know Ariel and Alex prior to our wedding day. They are such lovely & genuine people. We are SO thankful to have worked with Ariel Kaitlin Photography for our wedding!

Fantastic job.

Ariel and Alex did a great job taking photos at my wedding. I can’t have asked for anything more.

The venue thought so too - they used some photos from our wedding to advertise!

Dream wedding photographer

Ariel & Alex are truly the best of the best. We actually toured our venue (The Oaks at Salem) and booked them based on their availability before securing our wedding date officially at the venue. Our engagement shoot with them made us realized we made the right decision. Everything with them was so easy, flawless, clear, and just overall amazing. I'm very type A and emailed Ariel a bunch of questions, probably jumping the gun on a lot of information, but she was so helpful with our timeline, timing of our ceremony, and group shot lists. Our wedding party, parents, and guests absolutely loved them as well. Our sneak peak was INCREDIBLE and we cannot wait to see the full album. If you're engaged and need a photographer- in the Raleigh area or beyond- BOOK THEM NOW.

Amazing! Look no further!

Working with Ariel and Alex was amazing. Not only is their work beyond phenomenal, but working WITH them was such a great experience. They are extremely organized and on top of everything. They both make it so easy to be in front of a camera- they have great strategies to get you laughing and the pictures always come out SO NATURAL. We worked with Ariel and Alex for our engagement and wedding pictures and we are truly so happy we chose them. Our wedding was captured so beautifully by them that when I looked at our final images I relieved my wedding day second by second and my expectations were exceeded. Thank you Ariel and Alex!!

Book Ariel already!

It’s hard to put in words how awesome Ariel and Alex are, we could never have dreamed of hiring such perfect photographers for our special day! They are such a great duo and help keep you laughing throughout all of your pictures which keeps the shots so genuine. You can really see all of the joy and happiness from our wedding in the pictures and Ariel was a huge part of making that happen! Lots of members of our wedding party commented on how much fun they had whilst taking photos!

We fell in love with the light and natural photography style which suited us perfectly. They were amazing at finding the best spots around the venue for photos, and captured every detail of our wedding perfectly. Communication before the wedding was also excellent. They had every detail ready to help make the day as smooth as possible!

We really can’t recommend Ariel highly enough!

Great photos and great fun

Ariel was so great to work with. We hired her for our wedding and engagement photos. Not only were the photos beautiful, but the process of taking them was really fun. Her focus on using light, and the color in the final images, works really well. She also got the photos back to us quickly.
