Wonderful!

Arielle was an absolutely amazing photographer! I could not have asked for a better photographer to work with. She captured such beautiful wedding photos of my husband and I, our families, and our guests. She was incredibly easy/flexible to work with and made all of the photo taking processes very fun, even for my husband who does not like taking photos! Couldn't recommend her enough!

Best. Part. Of. My. Wedding.

Second only to marrying my best friend, that is! Having Arielle as our photographer was truly a treat and a blessing. She quickly became a trusted friend and is SO DANG GOOD at what she does. From the lighting to the posing and the comfort that she brings to the whole process, she is incredibly talented. I felt like my most beautiful self, and the photos turned out perfectly. When I first saw her website I fell in love with the quality of her work. I could also tell that we would be fast friends, and I was right! From the moment I met her I could feel her warmth and dedication. I knew that she would not only elevate the entire experience of our wedding day but that she would also deliver beautiful photos and make everything seamless. She has impeccable organization, and I loved her questionnaire. Our engagement shoot was nothing short of amazing, and it was a great chance for my then fiancé and I to get comfortable with her. Our wedding day went so smoothly and her attention to detail was on point — she was aware of clothes, my hair, and even down to showing teeth or not. And the product we received exceeded all expectations. So many great angles, expressions, poses, and candid moments, plus everything on my must-haves list and more. She captured all of the precious emotions of the day so beautifully, and we will cherish these images for the rest of our lives — as will our family! We received our sneak peeks super quickly, and my husband and I loved our entire online gallery. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, your search is over because Arielle Peters is your girl. Thank you for everything, Arielle!!

Couldn't be happier!

Working with Arielle was an absolute dream from start to finish. I trusted her implicitly from our first meeting (which is really saying something because I was a particularly hands-on bride).

On our wedding day Arielle struck the perfect balance between keeping us on top of our timeline so that no moment was missed and fading into the woodwork so that we could enjoy our special day.

Receiving our pictures, though, was the highlight of the process—they are everything we hoped for and more. We are absolutely in love and know they’ll be among our greatest family heirlooms.

Highly Recommend!

Throughout our wedding planning we heard from some couples that one of the most important things on the big day was to have a great wedding photographer. We can honestly say that there is nobody else we would’ve rather worked with than Arielle Peters. Throughout the entire process Arielle was communicative and set us up for success. Whether it was sending her welcome packet with tips for great photos, or finding the perfect space to capture a memory, Arielle was on it. While our engagement and wedding photos were both truly amazing, the experience of working with Arielle was also fantastic. Arielle’s enthusiasm and positivity made for a fun and personable experience. If you’re looking for a photographer that goes above and beyond, look no further than Arielle.

Best of the best!

Long but worth the read!! Where to begin with the AMAZING Arielle? From the very beginning, Arielle has been a God sent. My husband and I live in East Michigan, but were married on the West side of the state in June 2021. Arielle was a preferred vendor at our venue, and right when I saw her work through social media stalking, I knew I had to have her as a vendor for my wedding. I loved her light and airy style, which was what caught my eye first, but I came to find out that I would love A LOT more than just her style. I reached out to Arielle before my husband and I were even engaged, and she met me with such enthusiasm and kindness. During our first ever meeting, Arielle was so informative, thoughtful, patient and fun! She likes to get to know all her clients before working with them, which I think is just one of the many efficient ways she is able to deliver such an EXCELLENT product. She answered all our questions and by the end of the call we knew that we had found our photographer! Fast forward to our engagement session (which is complimentary!!!) my husband and I couldn’t believe the magic she performed! We literally were like, “how did she make us look that good?!” This was the first time we had taken professional pictures together and we were so thankful we had Arielle there to hype us up and make the experience comfortable and fun! At the end of that session I was more than confident in her abilities to capture our day. Finally the day of our wedding came (and this is where Arielle just SHINES), she arrived promptly when she said she would, and performed her magic again. I was an anxious bride and had stomach issues for majority of the day, but through the pictures Arielle took, you would never know! She comforted me, was patient with my body/mind, and was so positive the entire day. Also, right before the ceremony, unbeknownst to me, my veil was ripped. Arielle was the first to notice and told my bridesmaids to keep it on the down low so that I wouldn’t be self conscious about it in the pictures. She was able to completely edit the pictures that showed my ripped veil, and make it look like there wasn’t even a small tear at all! I told you, she is magic!
She captured everything that was important to my husband and I, and more! The quality of her pictures are THE BEST, her personality is THE BEST, and her delivery in every aspect is THE BEST! To this day our friends/family comment not only on how professional and nice Arielle was, but that the pictures she took were the best they have ever seen. Overall, Arielle is professional, super sweet, informative, and goes above and beyond for all her clients. I cannot recommend her enough, and she was hands down our BEST vendor! You can’t do better than Arielle! We love her and cannot thank her enough for EVERYTHING she has done for us!! Her pictures are what we will be looking back on and smiling at 50 years from now 😊

Best photographer!

I cannot recommend Arielle enough for wedding photography! Arielle went above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly what we pictured. From the moment we met, I knew we were going to get along so great- she’s just as much a friend as she is a photographer. Arielle was always there to answer a question or offer advice and she cared so much about how we were doing as a couple as well. She made the whole day of process go so smoothly and was so organized throughout the entire day. I never had to worry about anything! She is such a fun person to work with and makes you feel so comfortable behind the camera, which is huge for people who don’t take many pictures 🙂. We love our pictures so much and are so happy that we chose Arielle to capture it all! I highly recommend!

The amazing arielle!

My husband and I had previously met Arielle at a wedding we were in and the minute we got engaged we KNEW we needed to have Arielle for our wedding! Arielle is one of the most kind and genuine people I have ever met! She is incredibly talented, hard working and puts her heart and soul into her photography! She realizes that weddings is stressful and a lot of work to plan and ensures that you stay organized along the way. I honestly cannot say enough positive things about Arielle and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! We not only gained a wedding photographer but a great friend as well, we love you Arielle!

Magical Day!

I’ve known about Arielle Peters photography for a long time and had always wanted her to be my photographer when I ended up having my wedding. Being able to have her shoot my wedding and be there was an absolute dream come true!
She was wonderfully organized and took several different times before the wedding to check up on me and have a Zoom call/phone call meetings. She made a wonderful schedule for the day of the wedding and took away all the stress of planning what pictures we wanted to take and how much time we would need to take them. It was wonderful to not have that burden for the day of the wedding! I was uncertain about a couple things I wanted to do with options like the first look etc. She walked me though them and helped me make the right decision for what me and my then fiancé wanted to do! There was an issue on my end about scheduling the engagement session, and she was more than willing to work around that which I was so thankful for because good pictures matter!!
She made the day completely stress free when it came to the little details. She is so fun to work with, loving and lighthearted. Makes you feel so special! She is professional, and really helped me feel at ease when some other people in the party were getting to be overwhelming. She listens to the bride and did everything to make me feel heard!
The pictures I got back from her are absolutely everything I could have dreamt of and more! My husband has already said how much he loves them, and has told me specifically which ones he wants framed and put in our house! I love her editing style and how they turned out!
Thank you Arielle!

Amazing!!!

Arielle is the BEST of the BEST. Her package includes such cute extra touches that make the process extra fun! She creates the most laid back relaxed atmosphere so we were extra comfortable having our pictures taken. Arielle shows you certain poses during the engagement session so that doing those poses on your wedding day is a BREEZE! She captures every moment, making them come alive. Our pictures are so dreamy and romantic- were OBSESSED 😍 Most importantly, she doesn’t want to just be your photographer; she goes out of her way to create a lasting relationship! My husband and I literally can’t wait to meet up with her again for a shoot in our future! If and when we are to need a photographer in our future, we would without a doubt have Arielle do them again!
