Behind the Lens

If a picture can say a thousand words, imagine the stories I can tell with a camera.

Aireal Sage Robbins

Hey Homie, My Name Is Aireal!

I'm A Photographer in West Virginia

Thats me/my face in the pic, if you couldn't guess already.

You better get used to seeing it because on your wedding day, I'll become your biggest hype gal, personal assistant, bridal party wrangler, and honorary bestie for the day! 😉

I want nothing more than for you to feel calm and comfortable on your wedding day and I believe a HUGE part of cultivating that environment is getting to know the person you'll be spending most of the day with!

So with that said, I'll share a little about myself here.

I AM A PROUD MEMBER AND SUPPORTER OF THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITy.

I love being able to call myself an LGBTQIA+ inclusive wedding photographer, especially in West Virginia (because let's be honest, there aren't many of us around here, unfortunately...).

I believe that love is love and same-sex couples are valid as fuck. I happily illustrate love stories for the gals, gays, and theys.

These are a few of my favorite

I'm A Traveling Wedding Photographer With The Goal Of Working With Super Chill Couples


Just like having the perfect venue, dress, and/or tux, your photographer should also be a perfect fit for you as a couple. they need to be someone who you feel comfortable trusting + inviting into one of the most intimate days of your lives... You will be spending, like, 80% of your day with them, after all!


I pride myself in being able to cater to all kinds of couples + ensuring that you and your loved ones have beautiful photos and heirlooms to love + cherish for decades to come.


That said, I'm trying to work with couples who:


1.) Are super freaking cool (or at least their friends think so!)

2.) Are incredibly in love with each other + not afraid to show it

3.) Aren't afraid to get a little dirty if it makes for an awesome photo

4.) Resonate with the images found on my website and social media

5.) Understand the value of a photograph + what it can provide

6.) Will be supplying some kind of delicious dessert after dinner


Well, okay, so maybe number 6 isn't that important... but as long as you resonate with the other 5, I am the wedding photographer for you!

What Am I Looking For In A Couple?

Magnetic love, adventurous spirits, & go-with-the-flow attitudes

My goal as your wedding photographer is to create a fun, passionate, and love-filled photography experience that feels authentic to you as a couple. I want our time together to be calm, stress-free, and full of kisses, laughter, and smiles.

Sounds fun and do-able, right?
