About The Golden Lense

The Golden Lense

Head photographer

Hi! I’m Adriel, the photographer behind The Golden Lense — a portrait and wedding photography brand based in Philadelphia. My style blends timeless elegance with a relaxed, modern touch to capture genuine, meaningful moments that reflect your unique love story. Whether you’re planning a big celebration or an intimate ceremony, I’m here to make sure your day is beautifully documented with care, creativity, and intention. From golden hour portraits to those unexpected candid moments, I focus on creating images that feel just as real and memorable as the day itself.

A Calm, Easygoing Approach: I know how important it is for you to feel comfortable in front of the camera. I bring a relaxed energy to every shoot, helping couples feel at ease so their true personalities can shine through. A Portrait Specialist’s Eye: With a strong background in portraiture, I focus on capturing not just the big moments, but the quiet, intimate ones — the glances, the laughter, the in-between moments that truly matter. Timeless with a Twist: My editing style is clean, vibrant, and true to color — a classic look that won’t go out of style, but still feels fresh and modern.

    Choosing Adriel as our wedding photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made. From the start, he was professional, warm, and genuinely passionate about capturing meaningful moments. He took the time to understand what mattered most to us and made sure every detail was thoughtfully documented. On our wedding day, Adriel brought a calm, grounding presence that instantly put us at ease. He gave just the right amount of direction while still letting us be ourselves, which made everything feel so natural. Even our camera-shy family members commented on how comfortable he made them feel. The photos are absolutely stunning—filled with emotion, light, and so much authenticity. He captured both the big moments and the quiet, candid ones we might have missed otherwise. When we received our gallery, we were completely blown away. It felt like reliving the day all over again, but even more beautiful. One moment that stood out was right before the ceremony—when I was nervous, he gently helped me feel grounded without interrupting the flow of the day. That kind of care is rare. Adriel is more than a photographer—he’s a storyteller and an artist. We couldn’t be more grateful.

    From our first interaction, with Adriel we already knew the shoot was going to be amazing. Adriel, was a true professional who immediately made us feel comfortable with his cool personality and expert guidance. On the day of our engagement shoot, he made excellent suggestions to capture all the special moments, and his attention to detail and knowledge of photography was top tier. We are super happy with the final product and will 100% shoot with him again for our future shoots

He truly has an eye for detail and captured everything perfectly — better than I could have imagined. The final photos were stunning, delivered quickly, and edited beautifully.

    We couldn’t be happier with our engagement shoot experience with The Golden Lense! From the moment we reached out, they were professional, kind, and genuinely excited to be a part of our journey. The shoot itself felt so natural and fun — nothing felt forced or overly posed. They provided just enough direction while still allowing us to be ourselves, which resulted in some truly candid and authentic moments. The lighting, the angles, the attention to detail, everything was flawless.
