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! read more

Chris was an absolutely joy to work with! If we could give 10 out of 5 stars we would. He made a complicated weather shoot feel easy and it showed in the images. They turned out beautiful and we feel so lucky to have found him! Thank you for giving us a magical moment Chris:) read more

If anyone is need of a wedding photographer I recommend Chris Arson. He went above and beyond what we expected from our wedding photographer, he drove to Tahoe in the middle of a snow storm and had to wake up at 5 am to capture our sunrise wedding the day after Thanksgiving. Melanie and I can't express how much we love our photos. Thank you again Chris read more

Chris is a '5 star photographer' and let me tell you why. We had the pleasure of having Chris cover my wife and I's wedding just 3 months ago (July 22nd) in Lake Tahoe. We had some last minute changes and Chris kept a great attitude the whole time, he worked with us in many different ways. He truly cares about the client and will do whatever it takes to get the great shots. Not only is his photography beautiful, but the fact that he truly cares about the client is even more valuable and hard to find these days. read more

Stop reading reviews and hire Chris Arson! He is AMAZING. He shot our engagement in Tahoe-I had no clue he was capturing that special moment in the freezing rain and snow. He also did a snowboarding engagement shoot-yes, snowboarding!! Finally he shot our wedding at Edgewood country club in Lake Tahoe. I could not have asked for a better photographer. He truly has a unique eye for amazing photo opportunities and will not disappoint you. He also does our family photos, need I say more? read more

Chris is an awesome photographer. He helped us on our wedding day in HMB and was very knowledgeable about good locations for pictures. He was also very helpful in dealing with all the people for group photos. He really took a lot of good shots and I would recommend you get a hold of this guy for your next event. read more

Capturing those milestones and special times in your life should never be left up to chance! Chris Arson is a fabulous photographer! We have his nature work on our wall and in our business in Texas, so when we needed a wedding photographer in Lake Tahoe... He was our go to guy! He is so creative and captures the true spirit on the occasion. Chris is so easy to work with and is determined to get just the shots you want. He is willing to travel and come to wherever you and your family are. He will wade in the freezing lake in his dress shoes; he will stand in knee deep snow just to get that perfect angel; he will snowboard down a slope with his camera to get that engaged couple on the chair lift! These are FOREVER pictures! Chris Arson will be our FOREVER photographer! His work is priceless! read more

I booked Chris to take some post-wedding photos on my wedding day. His communication throughout the process was great. He came prepared with several great locations to shoot at. He is friendly and knows how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera. It shows that he genuinely cares about his craft and making great images/memories. His prices are reasonable. All in all I think he's a great photographer. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family. read more

Chris Arson worked our daughter's wedding in Tilden Park last January. Absolutely recommend this excellent photographer. He understood and captured the spirit of the wedding, the couple, and the venue. He produced wonderful candid shots without being at all intrusive (that's an art), and he expertly and enthusiastically wrangled a herd of eccentric relatives for group shots. Would book him again for any event. read more

We had such an amazing time shooting with Chris. If I had to describe the whole experience in one word, it would have to be "authentic." Chris was relaxed, easy to work with, and helped put us at ease. Taking mother-daughter photographs with a pro is kind of awkward when your daughter is eighteen. He made it fun. And our pictures are stunning. Highly recommended. read more

Chris Arson is an AMAZING photographer! I encourage who ever see's this review to check out his webpage and see for yourself. Important memories should last a lifetime and he captures that ( no pun intended) read more

Chris captures moments in nature and the ones you will cherish for a lifetime! He donated a piece to an auction fundraiser when we needed help and i loved the picture so much i bid and won the art. Bought one for my my brother and another for my mothers 50th birthday. Tahoe night sky with the milkway clear and majestic. If and when i need a photographer he's the artist I'd be honored to have capture the memories! read more

The best photographer you could ever ask for . His work is truly amazing and will blow you away. Very professional attitude and a joy to work with. He has very great ideas of how to get that amazing finished product you are looking for. He is also very diverse I can't think of anything he couldn't shoot and make look fantastic . Look no further if you want to go with the most solid choice that will bring you the best results. The star rating only goes up to 5 but he sets the bar higher than that for sure. read more

I can't say enough great things about Chris. I was so worried about photography for such a huge occasion and milestone, and he swooped into my wedding and made sure everyone was comfortable and everything he captured reflected who we are. Even prior to the wedding he was rapid (I'm pretty sure he doesn't sleep) to answer any question no matter how silly. I can't recommend him enough, and not choosing him for your wedding or milestone would be a huge loss. read more

Chris was such a great photographer at our wedding. He was super enthusiastic and easy to work with. He captured so many great moments with out ever feeling intrusive. He really helped put me and my husband at ease while photographing us. You can really see the passion come through in his work and his professionalism. Highly recommend him for your next photo event! read more

Chris shot high-resolution photos for my Urban Farming business website www.CalidadGarden.com. Two years later, I still use those amazing images for press, promo & other business needs. His creative eye is like no other & his professionalism is grade "A". You cannot go wrong hiring Chris Arson for all your photo/video needs. He will exceed all your expectations...and friends don't let friends have wack photos! read more

I had Chris come down and shoot a live event I put on in March this year. Weeks before the event, he was already meticulously planning - asking questions about the layout, shooting me over ideas sending me photos from other events so he could get a better feel of what I was looking for. Needless to say, once the job was done, I was BEYOND amazed at the quality, professionalism, and overall experience working with him. This man is a true talent who has the most sincere, genuine passion for what he does. I mean, just taking a brief look at his portfolio is enough to see that he is probably one of the most gifted photographers in the U.S., but working with him face to face puts him in an entirely different echelon of photographers. I can't recommend Chris enough for any of your photography/videography needs. I kid you not when I say, I am legitimately looking for a wife for the first time in my life, just so I can have him shoot my wedding lol. Thanks again for all your tireless efforts and hard work that makes you the best in the biz. Salute! read more

Went above and beyond our expectations. Extremely personable, professional, and was a standout in our wedding vendors. When our caterer dropped the ball, he helped keep us calm and we leaned on his expertise when we had to move things around. Highly highly recommend. He is also a preferred vendor for my high end event location in Tahoe, so you know he's got to be good! Photos we've seen have been amazing, and very excited to see the rest. You wont be disappointed when hiring Chris! read more

Chris has taken our yearly family photos for the past two years, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. He has the patience to deal with a very large group, including small children and pets. Chris was able to capture the love of our family in these photos and I can't wait until November for this year's experience. I will be using his services for all of our family's special events! read more

Where do I even start! Chris Arson is above and beyond everything I could have hoped for as my wedding photographer. I was so nervous to pick a photographer for my wedding, but I am so glad I chose Chris. From the moment he inquired about the position he was nothing but professional. He was very helpful and offered suggestions and advice when it came to making wedding decisions. He was also extremely professional in making sure everything was prepared for the day of the wedding, such as shot lists, first looks, minor details, etc. The day of my wedding, he was so amazing. He kept everything so organized and kept us on time for everything and kept me calm. He worked so well with my ring bearer and flower girl and captured their personalities perfectly in all the photos! He catered to my husband and I and made sure everything was going smoothly. For only being one photographer, he seemed like he was in a million places at once and he was able to capture every little important detail of my wedding. By the end of the wedding, even the front counter at our hotel was talking about how amazing our photographer was. Our wedding photos were above and beyond our expectations and we would hire Chris Arson for all of our future photography needs and recommend him to everyone! read more

Professional. Prompt. Full of ideas as I didn't know what I was doing. A busy stressful day that Chris made pleasant. I was a stressed bride. Hire him. You will not be disappointed. read more
