I'm Ariel, the photographer in Lincoln. I specialise in wedding and engagement photography, capturing relaxed, authentic moments that tell the story of your day with a family-minded, gentle approach.
I'm Ariel, the photographer — and I love telling stories through wedding photography. Based in Lincoln (GB), I specialise in photographing wedding days and engagement sessions with a relaxed, family-first approach. My aim is simple: to create professional wedding photos that feel honest, joyful and true to you. What sets Photos by Ariel apart is the way I blend calm direction with unobtrusive storytelling. I believe the best wedding images come from moments that feel natural — the quiet exchange of vows, the laughter between family members, the candid looks that only happen when people forget the camera is there. I guide couples gently through portrait time so you get beautiful, flattering images without feeling posed or staged. On the wedding day I work to be part of the atmosphere, not an interruption. That means attentive planning before your day, clear communication about timing, and a steady, friendly presence on the day itself. I focus on capturing a mix of documentary moments and purposeful portraits — everything from candid ceremony and reception highlights to the classic, heartfelt couple portraits that you’ll cherish for years. Engagement sessions are a natural extension of my wedding work. They give us a chance to get to know each other, relax in front of the camera, and build a gallery of images you can use for invites or displays. While weddings are my speciality, I also offer maternity sessions with the same gentle, family-oriented style for those building their family story. Choosing Photos by Ariel means choosing someone who treats your wedding like family. My approach is warm, conversational, and attentive — born from a love of family and a desire to preserve real moments. From our first chat to your final gallery, I aim to make photography feel easy and personal, delivering professional wedding photos that reflect the emotion and personality of your day. If you’re planning a wedding in Lincoln or nearby and want a photographer who prioritises authenticity, connection and a calm, joyful experience, I’d love to hear about your plans. Let’s create wedding images you’ll love to relive again and again.
