Chris Arson Photography

Melrose, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

"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 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. " - Steph

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Hi there! I'm Nia, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boston, MA but obsessed with traveling. I love the days when I stumble upon a new landscape, learn something new from a stranger or aimlessly drive until I end up somewhere decent. This is why I love storytelling. My favorite stories to tell are by far the love shared between two people. Storytelling and making a moment last is what drew me to photography. Documenting your day in an honest, soulful way that shows who you are is what I strive for.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nia has a natural eye for capturing the most beautiful wedding photos I've ever seen (coming from someone who grew up in a family of photographers). From the first meeting to receiving our wedding photos, she was so communicative and trusted our vision, and she used her amazing ability to capture the best moments of the day. Nia is also such a fun and genuine human! We loved spending time with her through our meetings up until the big day and our engagement pictures and just made everything perfect. When we received the final album, we couldn't find one picture we didn't love, and loved how she was able to capture little details that even we missed! She's a true visionary and has an eye for photography that is truly a born skill. Nia we loved having you be apart of our wedding day and cannot wait to see you grow even more and the other beautiful weddings you photograph!

PK And The Mighty Seven

  • Serves Melrose, MA

PK and the Mighty Seven has been celebrating with newly married couples since 2016! We were originally formed as a Jamiroquai tribute band, playing mostly music by the famed UK group along with other songs we enjoyed. Since that time, we've expanded our song list and played many weddings, which we love to do!

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start by saying that we are not the type to write reviews for anybody - good or bad - but for the sake of future individuals/couples looking to book PK and the Mighty Seven we feel obligated to say that if you are looking for a band to entertain whatever party you are hosting you MUST choose PK and the Mighty Seven. To start, Matt was incredibly communicative and responsive during the initial planning stages, promptly responding to e-mails and joining several Zoom calls leading up to our event. We had a vision for our special day and they accommodated each and every one of our requests. On the day of they arrived early and did the necessary prep work to ensure they were fully situated to provide our guests with the night of a lifetime. They took special care to accommodate our unusual first dance request, song recommendations, and the ambiance we sought to instill. We had a wide array of guests and the overwhelmingly consistent feedback we received was that the band was AMAZING. No exaggeration - the majority of our guests said they were the best band they'd ever experienced. If you are getting married or have a special event in their area you will be doing yourselves an immense disservice not to hire them to make your evening as spectacular as you want it to be.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Julian was a literal dream! When I first started working with Julian I didn't have a clear vision, I had vibes (lush, moody, romantic) and he walked me through the design process and every possible option to make that vibe a vision. Their proposal was comprehensive and included bespoke touches, like a section for "floral ingredients", so I knew exactly what to expect for price, style, and design. While all of our florals turned out so stunning and better than anything I could have imagined the one that always stands out in my mind is the wearable floral lapel that Julian created for my partner. It was such a unique twist for a suit wearer and added the perfect dramatic touch!

We hired DJ El Sid for our August 9th, 2025 wedding, and our reception was an absolute banger. Sid is super talented and is great at reading the crowd likely because he still actively DJs at clubs which is exactly what we were looking for. He had everyone on their feet dancing from our younger crowd of friends and cousins to our older family and friends. You know it’s a good party when you have a dachshund do the limbo and the men’s ties transfer to their head haha. We got SO many compliments on the DJ from our guests! Additionally, Sid did a fantastic job with the ceremony and grand entrances and dances, and MCing. We had 2-3 planning meetings with him via Zoom before the wedding, which were super helpful to get to know each other, ask questions, and share our music tastes and wishes. Fusion function also had an app where we could upload our songs for the ceremony, cocktail hour, entrances, first dances, and reception to keep everything organized and give Sid a vibe for our music style. Our wedding was an epic party to remember thanks to DJ El Sid!

Devens Common Center was the perfect wedding venue for us. From the moment we first reached out, their communication style was immediate and helpful - if they didn't know the answer to one of our questions, they kept us updated while they researched it. The staff was incredibly friendly and patient with all of our many questions. The venue itself was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for - an all-inclusive package with a hotel on-site for our out-of-town guests. Devens was the ideal space for our special day, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend this venue to any couples looking to host their wedding celebration.

I cannot recommend A Natural Arrangement, Florist enough for your wedding flowers and decor. From my first conversation with Jessica, I was impressed by her prompt, detailed, professional, and caring communication style. Jessica asked thoughtful questions to truly understand my vision and style inspiration for the floral designs. When I saw the exquisite final arrangements on our wedding day, I was blown away by the attention to detail and extra special touches they she added. My bouquet and the ceremony arch were simply stunning works of art, with creative uses of texture and color that perfectly aligned to my vision. Even two weeks later, I still have one of the arrangements looking fresh in my home! My husband and I agree that besides our actual ceremony, the flowers from A Natural Arrangement were one of the biggest highlights of our special day and truly exceeded our expectations. Their team went the extra mile and delivered an incredible value - I cannot thank them enough for contributing to our dream wedding!

If you are looking for a city restaurant-style reception, Pagu is truly the best of the best. First of all, you can't beat the food, it is incredible! Not your typical wedding food, thank god! The team at Pagu, especially Amanda the manager, are so kind and helpful. They made the whole planning process so easy and enjoyable and we felt so welcome and special every time we visited the restaurant. They also worked seamlessly with our planner and our other vendors. We are so thrilled that we chose Pagu for our reception and can't wait to be able to go back for our anniversaries for years to come!
