Sabrina & Alex photographed by Ariel Hawkins Photography at Poplar Hills Estate in East Aurora, NY.

I had the pleasure of working with Poplar Hills this year with some of my wedding clients and absolutely fell in love with the place. It is charming, beautifully and tastefully decorated. The grounds are big, well manicured and full of fun little places to photograph. The staff is super friendly, and everyone there is great! I met Sabrina & Alex out on a rainy fall night, and we trekked all over the place, making memories. To say we had a great time would be an understatement. We had a FANTASTIC time! Seriously, they couldn’t stop smiling, and it was infectious. The night we met out, they were also celebrating their 3-year anniversary, so it was great to document that moment for them. LOVED working with everyone involved in pulling this off, enjoy!

“Ariel is awesome! My boyfriend and I had never done a couples shoot before, but Ariel immediately put us both at ease and kept us laughing the whole time. I felt so relaxed knowing she was capturing the essence of our relationship through her creative prompts and fun, easy-going style! I've only seen a behind-the-scenes video so far, but just from that I can tell these photos are going to be absolutely stunning and I can't wait! Thank you, Ariel!” -SK
