    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!

    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.

    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!

    Incredible photographers!

    Ariel and Alex were so fun to work with! We appreciated both their professionalism and their good humor. Our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out better than we could have ever hoped! They also assisted with some coordination on the wedding day itself which was above and beyond. I highly highly recommend Ariel Kaitlin photography!

    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.

    Perfectly Captured Moments

    We recently booked Ariel to shoot both our engagement photos and our wedding and we are really happy that we did! We met Ariel at a wedding expo last year where she came across as a bubbly, fun, and authentic individual. I perused her portfolio and instantly fell in love with her style. Her portfolio looked so warm, happy, and full of love. We had so much fun and so many laughs at our engagement shoot. We really enjoyed working with Ariel and Alex! Ariel and Alex expertly coordinated our shots at the wedding, ensuring that we got every picture we wanted. And of course, our photos were perfect! I teared up each time we got our photos. Ariel and Alex perfectly captured our special day and we shall cherish these photos!

    Perfect Pair

    If you are in search of a photographer, I HIGHLY recommend Ariel and Alex! They were energetic, kind, relatable, and funny! They worked to build a relationship with my husband and I before, during, and after working together! I feel immense joy each and every time that I look at our wedding gallery and love sharing it with friends and family! We could not have asked for a more perfect day to be captured by someone so amazing AND talented!

    Extremely happy with our wedding photos!

    We hired Ariel Kaitlin Photography for our engagement photos and wedding, and could not be happier with the results! As two people who are certainly not models and usually feel awkward in front of the camera – Ariel did a phenomenal job of making us comfortable, and the photos turned out amazing. Ariel’s style is light and airy, and her website galleries make it easy and convenient to view, access and share the photos with your family and loved ones. She and her second shooter did a great job capturing everything that we wanted (and more). Ariel is responsive to email/questions/queries, extremely talented, and overall a joy to work with. We’ll certainly use her for any events that require a professional photographer in the future.

    The best wedding photographer in the state!

    I had the absolute best experience with Ariel. She is kind, funny and clearly loves her job. She was a dream to work with and was totally understanding during all of the covid reschedules and cancellations. I cannot recommend her enough. Her work is beautiful and she made sure to capture the true essence of who my husband and I are as people. 20/10!

    Incredible experience!

    Ariel and Alex were incredible to work with for our wedding. From the moment we met them, they worked with us on every detail. As someone who is super awkward in front of a camera- they made my -now- husband and I feel so comfortable. When we asked a question about the color- Ariel addressed and corrected it immediately! She is on top of all the details and I'm so happy I chose her to photograph my wedding!

    Amazing Photographer

    Ariel and Alex were absolutely amazing to work with! First of all they are the funniest people to be around. During our engagement shoot they had me and my husband cracking up!! Ariel is one of the sweetest people I've met she was really focused and passionate about her work. I told her that I really wanted to make sure all the details from our wedding were captured. I spent so much time and effort on the flowers and décor that I wanted to make sure I was able to look back and remember all those gorgeous details. She went above and beyond to deliver that for me she captured the cake, all the flowers, the table setup, and much more. As for their work I cannot say enough about how truly talented they are. All of our pictures came out flawless from the engagement shoot, to my bridal portraits, and of course the wedding photos themselves. Our families and friends were in awe when we showed them the photos they are seriously stunning. They captured each moment perfectly and I could not be happier with the outcome. Thank you guys for everything!!

    Wedding Photos

    We had an amazing experience with Ariel Kaitlin Photography! The photos turned out amazing and they made the experience so fun! Our family could not stop talking about how easy the photographers made the family photo process, and my husband and I’s favorite part of the day was the first look and photos right after the ceremony together. I highly recommend them!

    Amazing Photographers!

    My husband and I loved working with Ariel and Alex and our pictures came out just beautiful. They give good directions and have a quick turn around time for a finished product. Ariel was available to me when I needed her by email and text. We were so happy to have them as our photographers!

    Incredible Wedding Photographer

    We were confident the moment we met Ariel that she'd capture all of our special memories and we needed to book her! She is an incredible wedding photographer who has an eye for details and we loved every minute of it! The comprehensive planner she organized to outline who, where, when, and what needs to be captured was right up our alley! We were able to identify exactly what we wanted prior to the wedding so there were no questions or worry on the day of! Our families loved how organized she was in fitting and placement of everyone. We were interested in sunset photos after the wedding and again Ariel was able to find the perfect location that gave us the photos of our dreams!! As an out of town couple and having to do everything remotely, Ariel had everything covered! We'd definitely recommend her for services and book again! Thank you, Ariel Kaitlin Photography!

    Ariel and Alex did a wonderful job! We got married at the Oaks at Salem in May and they captured so many beautiful moments. She was very responsive, easy to talk to too, professional, and really tailored the experience to our wishes. Ariel and Alex even drove up from North Carolina to Norfolk, Virginia to do our engagement session which meant the world to us since that’s were we currently live and it’s where we met! Her and Alex made us feel really comfortable throughout all the photos and we really are happy they were a part of our day!
