Madison & Neil’s Cozy, Candid Wedding at Bayne’s Apple Valley
Freeland, Michigan Wedding Photographer – Arielle Roth Photography
Madison and Neil are the kind of couple who lead with heart. And their wedding day at Bayne’s Apple Valley? It reflected everything about them; sweet, grounded, playful, and full of people who absolutely adore them.
From the moment I arrived, the energy was buzzing in the best way. Madison got ready and dressed into her gown from The Brides Project, which not only looked stunning with its beaded bodice and flowing layers, but also supports a cause near and dear: fighting cancer through donated bridalwear. That dress had presence, and she wore it with grace, joy, and a touch of sass (wait until you see her dancing with her girls).
The bridesmaids wore soft pastel dresses from Azazie, and Neil and his crew rocked classic suits from Men’s Wearhouse — timeless, clean, and totally them.
Bayne’s Apple Valley is such a hidden gem of a venue. The warm wood, cider house vibes, and laid-back feel made the whole day feel effortless and inviting. The couple’s signature drinks? Cider, of course.
Their ceremony was intimate and heartfelt, but it was the reception that brought out all the big feels. From surprise laughter and quiet hugs to the packed dance floor where kids, grandparents, and everyone in between let loose, this was the kind of night you don’t forget.
And oh my god, the desserts. Pâtisserie Saginaw showed up and showed out. We’re talking elegant pastries and sweets that didn’t just look beautiful, they disappeared fast. Worth every bite.
Madison and Neil’s wedding didn’t need over-the-top trends or staged moments. It was real. Intentional. Centered around love and laughter. And that’s what made it unforgettable.
Whether you’re dreaming of a cider-house celebration or just need a reminder that weddings can (and should) feel like you — take a page out of Madison and Neil’s book. Simple. Sentimental. Soulful.

I am excited to share that my piece “Gilded,” will be part of Under the Femme Gaze: Perspectives on Body, Power, and Self-Representation this upcoming weekend on the 13th and 14th at @thevoyeurbordello in Detroit. Which is extra special because the 13th is also my five years sober and what a really fucking rad way to celebrate that.
The exhibit is comprised of femme and female-identifying artists that are examining how we see ourselves and challenging societal beauty standards, gender norms, and power structure (if you’ve shot with me, you know these are all topics we are discussing all session).
The show is being done in partnership with @hydrafund, a grass roots mutual aid fund supporting abortion access in Michigan. All donations made at the door ($5 recommended) and 50% of all sales will go directly to support their organization.

If you’re feeling personally attacked by daylight savings today…just remember that messy hair, coffee, and staying in bed are a solid plan for the day.
Which are basically all what a boudoir session is, schedule yours here: https://bit.ly/ARBoudoirSchedule

International Women’s Day always makes me stop for a second. Not because women only deserve recognition one day a year. We don’t, we deserve it everyday. As Beyonce said, we run the world.
But because it’s a reminder of how much power women hold when we actually see ourselves clearly.
The women who walk into my studio are not “models.”
They are moms. Survivors. Entrepreneurs. Partners. Women rebuilding after heartbreak. Women celebrating themselves for the first time. Women who have spent years being everything for everyone else.
And somewhere along the way, we forget we are allowed to be powerful too.
Boudoir has never just been about photos for me. It’s about watching a woman walk in a little unsure of herself and leave standing differently. Shoulders back. Eyes brighter. A little more aware of who she is and that she is allowed to take up space.
Confidence is not something you have to earn.
Worth is not something someone else gives you.
It was always yours.
So today is for the women who are healing.
The women who are starting over.
The women who are finally choosing themselves.
The women who just want to feel really fucking hot.
And the women who already know exactly who the hell they are.
Happy International Women’s Day, babes. 💕
xx, A

Should I add the cloud set to my options of session add-ons and quickie session options? 🫣😏
Disclaimer: if you are 100% against AI this would not be the set for you. While it is all done initially through photography and set design, Adobe generative AI features in Lightroom and Photoshop are utilized to extend the background and clouds as needed.

PSA: as I have shared, I have spent all of January and February very sick. I am still trying to catch up currently and give my body time to rest at the same time. I will be out of state the 18-24 for my best friend’s wedding and would like to be 100% caught up and have zero albums to get out at that time so when I am back in office it is just new sessions. I am closing down the remainder of my March days. If you need to get in rushed for some reason this month, you can reach out to me directly and I can see what I can do but they will not be bookable online.
I am thankful to have a full calendar, but right now your girl also needs some time to just recover and get caught up on editing after not being able to function for two months.

With boudoir’s popularity rising, I know it’s tempting to book a cheaper option. But cheaper doesn’t mean safer, better, or more empowering.
I’ve spent years mastering how to pose every body type, use light to flatter you, and edit with intention.
Your session takes an average of 7 hours in-studio and another 10-15 hours of editing to ensure your album is absolutely perfect. While also offering a 400+ size-inclusive client closet, hair & makeup, and a private boudoir studio in Downtown Bay City, Michigan.
With over 300+ women photographed and formal boudoir training under my belt, I compare boudoir to newborn photography; it is a niche genre that requires skill, patience, and respect.
If you’re ready to book a boudoir session, take your time. Do your research. Choose someone who knows how to photograph you beautifully and make you feel safe, powerful, and seen.
Because you’re worth investing in.
