Courtney & Steve Engaged at Beaver Island, Grand Island NY - Photographed by Ariel Hawkins Photography
I think its super fun each year to meet brand new couples for the first time ever. Most of my consults to book a wedding are done on the phone so then later on when we do an engagement session or the couples wedding we meet for the first time! It’s exciting, and I love planning for it!
I got to meet with Courtney & Steve while they were up visiting home on a very short trip from Virginia. While we walked around Beaver Island and I got to know more and more about them I realized what a nice and genuine couple they were.
You could tell they enjoyed each others company and loved to smile and laugh. That’s a great sign!! We had a blast and I can’t wait to work with them on their wedding day!
We will be over at Saint Joe’s and The Atrium at Rich’s which are both fantastic venues for a wedding. Looking forward to seeing you both again soon.
Here’s what Steve had to say about his session: “My fiancé and I worked with Ariel for our engagement photos. We live out of state and she was very accommodating with our limited schedule. We are very pleased with the quality of her photos. She was very easy to work with. We hired Ariel to take photos at our wedding later this year as well and can't wait to see the results. I would highly recommend Ariel for anyone who needs professional photos.”
