MEET OWNER AND LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER, 
ARIEL MORIAH 

VIRGINIA WEDDING AND ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

I'm Ariel, the owner and lead photographer of Ariel Moriah Photography. I grew up in Northern Virginia and am currently located in the Fredericksburg area. A Virginia girl at heart, I am a lover of all this state has to offer- the mountains, farmland, big cities, rivers, lakes, and ocean. I love to be outdoors in nature. I also love snuggling up on the couch to binge a Netflix show- it's all about balance! I am a wife and mother and love my family endlessly.

HELLO AND WELCOME!

Above everything else, I love being a wife and a mother. My family is the most important part of my life. Meet my handsome husband, Jacob, and our two sweet girls! You can find us grabbing lunch at a local sushi restaurant, boating on a hot summer day, and spending days playing and snuggling with our babies.

I LOVE DAYS ON THE WATER, MOUNTAIN VIEWS, AND A GOOD WHISKEY COCKTAIL. I AM KNOWN TO FIND THE HUMOR IN ANYTHING, TAKE CHARGE WHEN NEED BE, AND HAVE AS MUCH FUN AS POSSIBLE

Fun Facts About ME

— CLARISSA & VICTORIA
11/10! Ariel is simply the best. She makes you feel so comfortable & really works with you on your vision. 
— VICTORIA & JORDAN
Working with Ariel was so much fun!  She is responsive, creative, and willing to go the extra mile to get every photo on your list (and some you would never think to ask for).  She captured our wedding day perfectly and we are thrilled she was a part of it.

— SHAI & JACOB
she came equipped with plenty of direction, showing us poses and make them feel natural. She constantly hyped us up which helped put us at ease and be ourselves. When the pandemic forced us to reschedule our original wedding, and we decided to have an early micro-wedding, Ariel offered to shoot both! She created a STUNNING album with photos from both weddings, which is such a joy to go through as we really feel all the love from our special day. Ariel was the best photographer for us and we look forward to working with her again in the future!
— MARTA & JOSH
Ariel was my wedding photographer and she was absolutely amazing to work with. I would 100% recommend her to anybody.
