About Chris Arson Photography
Chris Arson Photography
Hi there! I’m Chris, and I’m excited to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to make your day as stress-free and joyful as possible, so you can focus on celebrating with the people you love. I’ll ensure your timeline stays on track and handle any unexpected moments with ease. Based in Boston, I love traveling for intimate weddings of 100-150 guests at unique venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. My style focuses on vibrant, cinematic images with true-to-life editing. I’m here to bring your vision to life and create photos that let you relive the magic for years to come!
I’ve developed a skill set in Off-Camera Flash to ensure stunning, cinematic images, even in tricky lighting conditions. This approach allows me to beautifully highlight the details that make your day unique—whether it’s the intricate design of your dress or the thoughtful touches in your décor. My goal is to create images that feel timeless and meaningful, transforming simple moments into works of art. What I focus on most is adaptability—capturing the essence of your day, no matter the setting or weather. From dramatic portraits to soft, romantic scenes, I strive to reflect the real emotions and atmosphere of your celebration.

Book him NOW!!!
Every experience we had with Chris was incredible. On the intro call, we immediately knew Chris was the one for us. He's calm, confident, entertaining, and thoughtful. Although we had cheaper quotes, we knew Chris would be the one to capture the moments for us to cherish for the rest of our lives. And in looking at the photos he captured of our wedding, we were 100% correct. Chris has an incredible eye for wedding magic. He makes everyone feel comfortable in his presence, and we love how candid his photography is. He's wonderful at capturing quiet moments as well as the motion of dance (see his awesome action shots below!). He doesn't just focus on us as a couple - he captured beautiful portraits of our friends and family that immediate bring us back to the moments. Chris's photography is a work of art, a vignette of the most magical days of our lives, and we are so grateful to have chosen Chris as our photographer. If you're looking for an artist to transport you to your most magical day when you look at his photographs, run - don't walk. He books up fast!
The BEST
I am beyond grateful we hired Chris as our wedding photographer. From our first time talking I knew he was the right fit. He went above and beyond to make this the best experience. From meeting us in advance and even scouting photo spots at the venue when we visited, to preparing an iron clad schedule with room for flexibility, to making me an electrolyte drink so I'd stay hydrated during the morning prep, and making us laugh and stay present throughout the day, we couldn't have been happier with our experience. Chris has an innate ability to connect with anyone and he made all of us feel at ease, which helped our authentic emotions shine through in the photos. We knew we wanted a photographer that could capture all the feelings in a unique, artistic and fun way, and Chris did all that and more. Our wedding photos are beautiful, precious memories that truly allow us to relive each moment, and I am so grateful for that gift. Chris was one of the best investments we made for our wedding, and he truly made the day even more special for us and our families. 1,000 out of 10 recommend!
Would Absolutely Recommend
I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Chris to capture our special day. However, it goes beyond just that singular day. We had first met with Chris in person for a meet and greet, which I would have never thought to play such an integral role in the process. He demonstrated so much passion for the trade and was already so invested in making sure he was exactly the photographer we were looking for so we could truly get the most out of our day. He also took the time to visit the venue after our meeting to get an idea of what he'd be working with. Chris went above and beyond, every step of the way. He even made it a point to come during the rehearsal as well to be even further prepared. Everything flowed organically with his direction which took away so much stress from the day. Professionalism aside, Chris is just a good dude all around. We're so happy to come away from this experience with not only an amazing portfolio of memories, but a passionate and charismatic friend.
The best!
Chris was such a joy to work with! From our very first meeting before even hiring him, he really spent the time to talk through what our vision was and how we wanted our day to be captured. He was a great support every step of the way for planning as well as on the big day! In addition to being a great listener, Chris has great suggestions on how to plan for photos based on his extensive experience (angles, timing, group shots). Our wedding was a large one, so Chris hired a fantastic second lead photographer and several other photographers throughout the day so our event was seamlessly captured! Another important note - all of our family and other vendors (makeup artists, planners, etc) commented on how great it was to work with Chris, and were excited to work with him on future events - I think this is such an important quality for a photographer, and definitely appreciated how professional and friendly Chris was with EVERYONE! He kept the day moving as it should and captured some unbelievable shots that I revisit on probably a daily basis :) I honestly cannot recommend Chris enough - from his genuine care and support for you through the planning and important day, to the absolutely stunning product he delivers. Thank you Chris for everything!!
