About Chris Arson Photography

Chris Arson Photography

Boston Wedding Photographer

Hey there! I’m Chris, and I’m stoked to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to help make your day everything you’ve dreamed of. I'll even bring some dog treats. You can count on me to keep things stress-free—no “photographer attitude” here. If the timeline gets off track, I’ll help get it back on schedule so you can enjoy your meal. Based in Boston, I love traveling for weddings, especially intimate gatherings of 100-150 guests. I’m a fan of venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. Capturing vibrant, cinematic images is my passion, and I focus on true-to-life editing—no overexposed skies or unnatural skin tones!

As a wedding photographer skilled in off-camera flash (OCF), I bring a unique ability to capture stunning, well-lit images even in challenging lighting. This technique allows me to highlight every detail—from your dress to the decor—ensuring everything shines beautifully. My goal is to enhance your photos and transform ordinary moments into breathtaking works of art. What sets me apart is my ability to create beautiful images in any environment or weather, using light to evoke emotion and atmosphere. I can create dramatic portraits or soft, romantic scenes that capture the real feel of your day.

    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!!

    Chris is the absolute best photographer. When we planned our wedding we chose our date around when he was available, that’s how important it was to have him there. He gave us a stellar deal and brought so much energy and love to the event. You don’t even see him sometimes and he captures every joyous moment you could hope for. He makes everyone laugh and feel at ease every step of the way. Do yourself a favor and book now. You will be amazed with the results. 100 star rating.

    Having Chris do our wedding was literally fate. We found out two days before the wedding that the photographer we booked would not be available due to a family emergency. Luckily, he connected us with Chris, who immediately did a call with us the next morning (the day before our wedding). Chris had been given our engagement photos, so he had a sense for our style, and he walked us through the day and the information he needed. Most importantly to us was to have our photographer take charge, and keep our families on task, while paying attention to the details so we didn't have to. To say that Chris did that would be an understatement. He arrived at the hotel even earlier than we asked, and immediately brought positive energy into the space. Once we moved to the venue, he efficiently directed our very lively friends and family through all of the poses and photos we wanted without us needing to say a word. My wife and I were truly able to just enjoy the day, knowing we'd get everything we asked for. Chris edits all of his photos individually by hand so that we got only the best, and he truly captured the New England fall essence. Chris gets our highest recommendation and we feel so lucky that we got to work with him!
