For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt most at home when I was creating art. I fell in love with photography when I realized I could create art out of the moments that were already happening around me. When I was 13, I started bringing my little point-and-shoot camera to concerts and snapping photos of my favorite emo bands (it’s definitely not a phase). It sounds kind of silly, I know, but that was how I discovered how much I loved capturing people in their element.
Fast forward a bit...I've now been proudly and enthusiastically been working as a professional photographer for over 7 years. I graduated with my BFA in photography in 2018, and since then, I've had the pleasure of shooting dozens of gorgeous weddings all over New England. Being a Foxboro wedding photographer with a formal education, I've developed a very authentic and photojournalistic style, and have applied those skills to capturing the love stories of modern, creative, quirky, fun-loving couples who share my passion for art.
If you love expressing your personality in creative ways (tattoos, anyone?), or find my cat Moo (pictured below) even half as adorable as I do, we might just be the perfect fit for each other. Now, go check out my portfolio and see the kind of images I want to create for YOU!
Hi, I'm Ari!

I'm a huge animal lover - always have been and always will be! Pet-wise, I'm a cat person (that's Moo, one of my fur babies, in the photo to the left!), but I love dogs as well, and will *always* encourage my couples to bring their pups along to their engagement session.

That's me & my sister, Jess - we come from a huge Italian family, so I'm used to being surrounded by lots of people! The ones I hold dearest to me are the most important part of my life.

When I'm not taking photos, you can most likely find me singing. Well, I mean, I totally sing while I'm taking photos too, but I'm also a vocalist in a local rock band!

"Ari is so passionate about what she does and the people she does it for that it radiates through her photos. She realizes how important her work is to her clients, and it means just as much to her as it does to them to make a memory worth having. By the end of your wedding day, you won't be working with a vendor, you'll be working with a friend. She is such a welcoming, kind, and caring person it is impossible not to feel at ease when working with her. Even my husband, who usually feels awkward having his photo taken, was genuinely laughing and smiling throughout the day and was never apprehensive during the process and only wants to work with her in the future. I feel like Ari's work speaks for itself, yet I can't help but go on about it and the amazing person behind the camera making it happen anyways. Bottom line is, if you want a wedding with moments to remember and photos that are stunning and that you'll love every single one of, hire Ari. I always will."

"Ari was amazing. My other photographer cancelled 5 hours before my wedding and Ari showed up last minute for us in a blizzard to make sure I got the photos I needed! She stood in 2 feet of snow to get the perfect shots and was so kind and patient with all of us. She made us feel so much better about our crazy blizzard wedding. The quality of her photos is awesome and she caught many heartfelt moments. I would recommend her to anyone in the area who needs a photographer! She is reliable and professional."

"We have worked with Ari for many years over various kinds of projects, the latest being our wedding! When I say she was one of the only things that went right about that day, I really am not joking. She is amazingly kind and sweet and builds you up and makes you very comfortable. She gets amazing details and captures sweet moments that you may not think to add to your list of wants. Her flexibility and collaborative nature make the whole process stress free!"

"Ari has done my engagement and wedding photos and what drew me to her was her unique, creative style. You can tell she takes pride in her work, and it is reflected. She was so easy to communicate with, down to earth, professional and ensured we got what we wanted and had set expectations for. We got our photo album back about 4 weeks post wedding and the photos were amazing!! She really captured shots that showed people’s personalities. I would definitely use her again for future photo needs!"

"Ari is the most incredible photographer you will ever work with. Not only does she make the entire process clear and near effortless on the part of the planners, but she truly listens and makes sure to capture the moments you desire most. Whether that be candid shots capturing the moment through the eyes of your guests, or of your guests, or posed/group/headshots perfect for profile pictures or to hang up - she can do it all and with the most wonderful joyful energy. My partner and I felt so comfortable, and confident, in working with Ari knowing she was approaching our wedding with as much care and nerdy flair as we were - and it was the best decision we made. She is such a delight and we couldn't be happier with our pictures and the memories we can look back on."

"I recently had the pleasure of attending a wedding shot by Ari and viewed the gallery just last night. I was blown away by Ari's eye for exquisite lighting, unique and interesting compositions, and her overall command of her craft behind the camera and in organizing posed photos. Whether she came by it naturally or developed her artist's eye over time, she is absolutely is, in my humble opinion, the top wedding photographer in the Boston area. In every photo the bride and groom are *GLOWING* and the captured private moments taken between all of the posed and planned photos are some of the most beautiful of all. There were just as many special photos of guests so that each has a moment they can treasure forever.
I would absolutely hire Ari for my next photo-worthy event or portrait shoot. I may just have to renew my vows so that I can hire Ari!"

"Ari was such a great addition to our Salem elopement ceremony. We were blown away by the photos. She captured our unique mood and style which made the photos very personal. Thank you Ari!!"

"We feel so lucky to have found Ari for our micro-wedding in Salem, MA last fall. She was easy to work with during the planning process, consistently checked-in and gave referrals for other vendors in the area which was super helpful since we do not live in the area. For the wedding, she was flexible and made the best of the rainy weather. She was able to find pockets to shoot outside with us and some of our favorite pictures came from these moments. The House of the Seven Gables has unique challenges in terms of space for photographs but Ari made it look easy and captured so many incredible moments. We highly recommend her for your next event!"

"Working with Ari Marie Photography was a dream!! Ari knew all the questions to ask us, which helped a lot with planning. The level of communication was outstanding and she stayed with us every step of the way. She made sure to cover every moment and work with us on the photos we wanted captured which I am more than grateful for. If you are looking for someone who will be your best friend through the entire event and always get your good side, don’t hesitate to reach out and talk with Ari, 10/10!!"
