Fine-art Wedding & Couples Photographer
Hi, I'm Ariel Moriah
I began my photography business in 2019, shortly after the birth of my first child, a season that reshaped how I understand time, memory, and the importance of preserving what matters most.
With a background in fine art and a lifelong connection to creativity, I was drawn away from a corporate path toward more meaningful work, creating imagery that allows couples to return to their wedding day not just as it looked, but as it felt.
Based in Fredericksburg, Virginia, I serve weddings throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, drawing inspiration from art, nature, and love stories told with honesty, elegance, and intention.
I’m drawn to documenting wedding days because they unfold quickly, often faster than we realize. Photographs become a way to return to the moments that mattered most, allowing couples to relive the feeling of their celebration long after the day has passed.
I value the trust my clients place in me and the opportunity to bring their vision to life with care and intention. From meaningful details to fleeting, in-between moments, my goal is to ensure nothing is missed. When couples can remain fully present, confident that every part of their story is being documented thoughtfully, that is where my work feels most meaningful.
The Experience
Attention to Detail
With years of experience documenting weddings, my work has been featured in respected wedding publications, reflecting a commitment to thoughtful storytelling, refined imagery, and a seamless client experience. I’m known for a calm, attentive presence on wedding days, working closely with planners and creative teams so couples can feel fully supported, unhurried, and present while their celebration is documented with care from beginning to end.
