✨ 2026 Bookings Now Open ✨
I'm now taking bookings for 2026 couples — new packages are live and ready!
If you're looking for honest, light-filled, documentary-style photography with minimal posing and lots of heart, let’s connect.

P.S. If you’re planning a 2025 wedding and still want to lock in my current rates, I’m honouring those until May 1st.

Hey, I’m Ariel!

I’m a wedding photographer based in East London and the person behind AM Wedding Photography. If you’re looking for someone who just shows up, takes a few posed shots, and disappears—that’s not me. I do things differently.

For me, photography is about storytelling—not just capturing how your wedding looks, but how it feels. I want you to remember the excitement, the nerves, the overwhelming joy, and even the tiny moments in between—the way your hands shake slightly as you hold your vows, the knowing glance between your parents, the pure happiness on your face as you take it all in. Those moments are everything, and that’s what I’m there for.

What Makes Me Different?

✔️ I don’t just take pictures—I capture memories. I blend into your day like an old friend, letting the real moments unfold naturally. You won’t even notice I’m there (until you get your photos and realise I somehow caught everything).

✔️ No awkward posing. I get it—being in front of a camera can feel weird. That’s why I keep things relaxed and fun. I’ll guide you when needed, but mostly, I let you be you. The result? Natural, beautiful photos that feel like you, not like a staged Pinterest board.

✔️ A focus on real emotions. Your wedding day isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling everything. My job is to document the real stuff: the uncontrollable laughter, the happy tears, the sneaky glances, the hugs that linger just a little longer.

✔️ A seamless experience. From the first chat to delivering your photos, I make everything easy and stress-free. You’ll get a fully edited gallery within four weeks (no endless waiting) and an online gallery to share with friends and family instantly.

✔️ More than just a photographer. I’m here to help—whether it’s keeping the timeline on track, calming pre-ceremony jitters, or making sure you get a quiet moment together amid the chaos. My couples often tell me I felt like a friend, not just a photographer—and that’s exactly how I want it to be.

What You Get With Me

  • A fully edited, high-resolution online gallery
  • Delivery within four weeks—no endless waiting
  • Coverage from 5 to 10 hours (or shorter sessions for elopements)
  • An optional pre-wedding shoot to help you feel comfortable
  • The choice of one or two photographers for complete coverage
  • A friendly pre-wedding consultation to plan everything out

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who truly cares, who won’t treat you like just another booking, and who will capture your day in the most real, meaningful way—let’s chat.

Can’t wait to hear about your plans!

The best of the best

We are beyond grateful to Ariel for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. From the very start, Ariel was nothing short of incredible—his energy, kindness, and professionalism truly stood out. Throughout the entire day, Ariel made us and our guests feel comfortable and at ease, allowing him to capture the most genuine moments.

The feedback we've received from our guests has been overwhelmingly positive; everyone has been raving about how wonderful he was. We couldn’t agree more! Ariel has a unique ability to blend into the background while still being everywhere at once, capturing every detail and emotion. His work is not only a reflection of his talent but also of his passion for what he does.

Thank you, Ariel, for your dedication and for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document our special day!

Candid at it’s finest!

Ariel is an absolute star!

If I had the chance to do my wedding again, he’d be a constant. In the lead up, Ariel dealt with my anxious organisation like an absolute legend and made me feel assured that he was the person for the job. We hate posing (and think we look awful in photos) and really didn’t have much time for family photos so we needed to get the “profile” shots within 20mins. That’s exactly what he did with time to spare meaning we got to spend time with our guests whilst Ariel worked the three different locations un-phased. He helped us with the more “posed” shots but really made us feel at ease.

All my guests commented of how “invisible” and yet somehow attentive Ariel was, seeming to pop up at the exact moment you wanted. He is so genuine and kind to the occasion in not only his approach but also the manner in which he interacts with the guests, and it clearly comes effortlessly to him.

Without a doubt this is your photographer if you:
- Dislike posing
- Want authentic pictures
- Want a photographer that genuinely cares about what you want
- Gives you photos that actually showcases the occasion and not just directed scenes

Five out of five!

Choosing Ariel as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment I came across his work, I knew he would deliver exactly what I was looking for. A beautiful and candid collection of pictures, capturing the essence of our intimate London wedding, making each photo a work of art.
On the lead up to the wedding, Ariel checked in a few times to make sure he knew what to expect on the day.
On our wedding day, he was a calming presence. He managed to be everywhere without being intrusive, capturing candid moments that we will cherish forever. Our guests were equally impressed! A lot of them had positive comments on his work, professionalism and very chilled vibes.
The pictures look stunning, everyone absolutely loves them. Ariel did an absolutely brilliant job! Thank you Ariel for capturing our day so beautifully!

Joyful and chill photographer

My partner and I, being quite awkward, were in dire need of a photographer who could make us look natural in photos. Ariel was the perfect fit. He's not just a photographer, but a genuinely lovely person who is incredibly responsive and easy to talk to. The photographs he took were stunning, capturing the essence of our special day. And yes, he also does the posed photos that all the aunties want. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants fun, in-the-moment, beautiful images at a decent price. If only I could look that beautiful again and have someone to take such lovely photos!

Excellent photographer!

Ariel made us feel at ease and really captured our wedding exactly how we wanted it. We preferred a relaxed vibe and more of a story of the day and he did this throughout. Really nice guy. Would 100% recommend.

Amazing from start to finish


Ariel is amazing at what he does! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. We just can't stop looking at our gallery! He captured everyone's personality in so many different ways, the photos are literally everything we wanted and more. He is a true professional, so down to earth and even put us in touch with an amazing videographer at very short notice. If you are looking for someone to capture memories that will last a lifetime, then do not hesitate in booking Ariel.

Thank you for such beautiful wedding photos!

We hired Arial as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier. He showed up early to get some great family shots and was professional, friendly, and funny throughout the day. Arial got along so well with our friends and family, even taking the time to get to know my sister and colleagues. The day was so hectic for us as the bride and groom that we didn't get to connect much with him, but he was super understanding and handled everything like a pro. The photos are stunning, with some natural and candid shots that really captured the day perfectly. His genuine personality made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed, with no pressure to pose. We absolutely loved his work and can't recommend him enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
