Arielle teft, Michigan wedding photographer based in Grand Rapids

I’m Arielle,

A Grand Rapids–based wedding photographer documenting weddings across Michigan, Chicago, and destinations worldwide. Inspired by cinematography, fashion, and travel, I chase moments where movement meets stillness. Honest, elevated, and unrehearsed, my images carry depth with a touch of panache. I work quietly, shifting between guiding and observing as the moment asks. Photographing genuine moments as they happen, without ever pulling you out of them.

Uncomplicated luxury for modern wedding weekends.

I was left absolutely speechless by the quality and sheer beauty of the photos we received from our wedding. She does not try to stage your entire day around the pictures; instead, she beautifully captures all of the little (and, of course, big) things as they happen. Reviewing each photo is like being transported back into those moments with all of my loved ones; you can practically hear, smell, and taste the things she captures!
