Ariah works primarily on film, creating images that feel honest, resonant, and quietly expressive. With a background in film photography and graduate studies in spiritual direction and entrepreneurship, her work is shaped by both technical intention and thoughtful presence. She approaches wedding photography as more than documentation—it’s a careful record of relationships, presence, and meaning.
Her approach is relational and grounded. She invests deeply in her couples, building trust that allows for ease in front of the camera. Rather than over-directing, she gently guides when needed and steps back when it matters most, allowing moments to be lived naturally. Her work honors not only the couple, but the way they are known and loved by those around them.
Ariah works with couples who are easygoing, deeply in love, and intentional in how they design their day—often drawn to unconventional details and a sense of play. They value quality time with their family and want the wedding experience to feel more like a core memory, family vacation than a single-day production. Drawn to estates, backyards, and sentimental places that create intimate atmospheres for celebration.
Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, she frequently works in Austin, all over the East Coast and destinations worldwide. When she’s not photographing weddings, you can find her romanticizing slow mornings at home with her husband, playing frisbee with their pups Simba and Nala, or thrifting for trinkets she probably (definitely) doesn’t have room for.
