This is the best day of your life - and it should be nothing less than a total blast. After all, that's what you deserve! As a Massachusetts wedding photographer, I want to help make your big day fun, memorable, and uniquely yours. I want to make sure you're able to look back on your wedding with a full heart and a smile that makes your face hurt.
I'm a seasoned New England wedding photographer with a bubbly, upbeat personality, a knack for turning chaos into fun, and more than 7 years of experience capturing unique love stories in this beautiful little corner of the world. My prior wedding experience and my go-getter attitude make me equipped to tackle any challenge that may arise (seriously, ask anyone who knows me well - I am NOT afraid to use my big loud Italian voice to wrangle everyone for family portraits!)
I'll be more than just your wedding photographer, though - I'll also be your friend, supporter, and hype girl throughout the process. In no time, it'll feel like we're long-lost besties. I LOVE getting to know my couples personally. I want to learn about what makes your love unique & get a glimpse into your world so that I can fit seamlessly into your special day! Let's talk favorite foods, favorite Netflix series, and so on.
I'm also detail-obsessed. I will totally geek out over any quirky, personalized touches you have planned, and make certain that you have photographs of every last one.
I've also been praised for my ability to somehow be everywhere in the room at once. You'll see me all over the dance floor, probably dancing and singing along while capturing the very best moments.
With all of that said...let's get down to business!
Bold, Vibrant, True-to-Life Wedding Photography
for Unconventional Couples
Start by filling out my contact form & sharing the details of your big day! Then, we'll arrange a time to chat either over the phone or over Zoom to see if we're the perfect fit for each other.
1. Say Hello
2. WE'LL GET YOUR DATE LOCKED IN
I'll send over a contract to officially get your wedding date on my calendar! Once that's all set, you'll receive some other fun goodies from me, including a list of all my favorite Boston/Providence area wedding vendors to make the rest of your planning super easy.
Most of my clients opt to book an engagement session with me in addition to their wedding day coverage, and many add on a bridal boudoir session as well. An engagement session is a fantastic opportunity to get a feel for my personality & photography style before your big day, and a boudoir album makes for a really unique, special gift for your love. Together, we'll plan AMAZING experiences for both!
3. WE'LL PLAN YOUR EXTRAS
About a month before the wedding, we'll get together & review the entire timeline, start to finish, to make sure absolutely EVERYTHING you want captured is included. No detail will be missed! And don't worry - I'll guide you through it all so you don't have to stress one bit.
4. WE'LL CRAFT YOUR CUSTOM TIMELINE
Let's make some memories!!!! All you have to do now is have the time of your life with your best friend. I'll be there to gather your crew together for family portraits, guide you through some SUPER fun (and creative) couples portraits, and of course answer any questions you may have, but also to be a fly on the wall & capture all the little in-between moments.
5. YOUR WEDDING DAY! YASSS!
They'll be delivered to you within six weeks via digital download link, and you'll also have the option to order a gorgeous album and other heirloom artwork to commemorate your amazing wedding.

"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!!"
