If we had to do it again, Ariel would continue to be our pick! She was so organized, communicated with us clearly, and happily answered any and all of our questions.
owner & lead photographer
As a transplant from Savannah, GA, living in the Greater Los Angeles area, I like to think of myself as a cross between a refined southern belle and a relaxed Californian.
I've always appreciated deep roots and rich history, which is where the inspiration for the name, Magnolia West, came from. It is the street my mother was raised on, in the house my grandfather built with his own two hands.
My family is what keeps me grounded: my roots. Through my camera, I'm honored to tell the story of yours.
Brooke, MAGNOLIA WEST BRIDE
Possibly, more important than that is the way that Ariel has made us feel throughout our wedding planning process and pre-wedding photo session. We truly did not want it to end, and the images were better than we could have imagined.
