Dreamy engagement photos
Rio was WONDERFUL to work with. She was already on site when we arrived, gave good directions, encouraged our laughter and authentic smiles, AND got us digital photos SURPRISINGLY fast. They're absolutely dreamy and we couldn't be happier. We're a queer, fat, interracial couple and we adored working with Rio Ariel Photography. Laura & Kam

soulful, fluid, vivacious artwork
Rio's photography is SO superb and uniquely artistic - she has an incredible eye, captures nuanced radiant lighting, fantastic rich color scale and tones - Rio's focus categories perfectly showcase her intelligent design, and her portraiture conveys love and soul and depth and humor. Rio brings out a vivacious quality in each person and subject. Her framing choices and angles give movement and life to each shot. Superb composition. She showcases an advanced stylistic eye equally with every subject matter, from abstracts to products.. And OMG the pets category! Rio is firmly grounded in her style and professional/artistic abilities. So cool and vibrant and deep - Rio is a natural creative, xxxxooo
