About

Ariel Grondin Photo is a wedding photography company based in Belchertown, Massachusetts. You're getting married, looking in a sea of photographers but know you want bright + colorful images that will stand the test of time. Are you ready to prioritize having fun on your wedding day? Hi, That's me. I'm your girl!

I love everything bright, outdoors, and reality TV. Seriously, what's better than kicking back with some wine and watching the Bachelor? Safe to say my obsession with love stories doesn’t stop with the couples I photograph. (Although, I’m sure your relationship is quite a bit more authentic than the emotional rollercoaster that is 90 Day Fiance and Love is Blind, but I digress.)

In a sea of dark and moody photography, I’m the girl who brings you all the bright colors, big smiles, and joyful galleries. I want my work to make you feel good. Like “Oh man! Who knew I was this hot?” good.

So grab your boo and let’s get going, good times are right around the corner.

*****A NOTE ON INCLUSIVITY

I am honored to document all love stories. I’m LGBTQ+ friendly (um hello, shouldn’t we all be?), but we live in a world where it needs to be said. It’s so important to me that you know you’re welcome here, exactly as you are.

Highly Recommended!!

Ariel came highly recommended to us by a family friend, and from the moment we met her, we knew we were in the best hands. She far exceeded our expectations and truly made our wedding day even more special.

From the beginning, Ariel was an absolute dream to work with. Her professionalism, organization, and attention to detail stood out immediately. She ensured that every moment of the day flowed seamlessly and made sure we got all the shots we had requested—and then some. Her calm and friendly demeanor kept us at ease, even in the most hectic moments, and she helped make our day run smoothly.

What truly amazed us was how unobtrusive Ariel and her second photographer were during the ceremony and reception. They captured every moment beautifully, yet their presence was so subtle that we barely noticed they were there. This allowed us to stay fully immersed in our celebration while knowing everything was being documented perfectly.

One of the highlights of working with Ariel was how quickly she worked. Before our reception had even ended, she surprised us with a few sneak peeks of our photos, and they were absolutely stunning! Her ability to turn around such breathtaking images so promptly speaks to her incredible talent and dedication to her clients.

We are beyond thrilled with our experience with Ariel and her team. She went above and beyond to capture every important moment and made us feel completely taken care of throughout the day. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, talented, efficient, and a joy to work with, we cannot recommend Ariel highly enough. She helped us preserve memories we will treasure forever, and we are so grateful to have had her as part of our special day. Thank you, Ariel!

If you're looking for the perfect photographer, look no further!

From the moment we met Ariel at our engagement session, I knew we made a perfect choice for our wedding photographer. Not only is her photography and editing style amazing, but she is also an incredible person. Meeting her for the first time felt like meeting up with an old friend. Any nerves we had about feeling awkward or wondering how to pose or what to do with my face immediately dissipated thanks to Ariel, and the pictures turned out incredible. And then when our wedding day came along, she helped the day run smoothly by being efficient while still being fun. I’ve never liked having my photos taken, but having Ariel (and our second shooter, Chloe) by our side that day helped me to enjoy every moment. She even sent us a few photos during the wedding itself! If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, responsible, supportive, and fun, look no further.

September 2024 Wedding

We cannot recommend Ariel enough! After looking through portfolios of probably 30+ different photographers, Ariel really stood out for her highlights of color and her ability to capture candid emotions throughout the wedding day, in addition to great posed portraits. We aren’t exactly naturals in front of the camera, so in addition to portraits, we were looking for these candid moments for ourselves, as well as our guests, to remember the feel of the day. Furthermore, our wedding had both outdoor and indoor elements in the day and evening, with our reception being in a city restaurant. We were mindful of photographers who shot equally well in both, which Ariel and her second shooter, Katie, most definitely did! Finally, there’s a lot to be said about being a very efficient shooter. We’ve been in weddings where portraits take quite some time, which lengthens the timeline of the day before the party. Ariel and her team managed to shoot getting ready photos in 2 locations (hotel for the bride, our apartment for the groom), all couple, family, and bridal party portraits at a park elsewhere in the city of Cambridge, and back to the hotel for a Chinese Tea Ceremony before the official ceremony, in less than 2 hours. It was nothing short of miraculous! Don’t hesitate to book Ariel to document your fun and joyful day!
