RI and MA Wedding Photography and Portraits
Hi! I'm Chris, AND I'm a Wedding Photographer in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I Also love photographing outdoor couples and family portrait sessions
Chris James Photography offers beautiful, one-of-a-kind wedding photography that will capture your big day in the most unique and special way possible. I love telling stories through my photos, and I'm confident that I can create some amazing memories for you and your loved one.
I know that finding the right photographer is important, which is why I offer a free consultation so you can meet me in person and see what I have to offer.
I Love What I do
I have been a working photographer for nearly a decade now. How time flies! In all that time, much has changed, but one thing that has never changed is how much I enjoy being behind the camera.
Whether it is a quick set of portraits on the beach, or photographing your wedding, photography appeals to my artistic and technical sides. I love the challenge of a fast-paced environment, but I also enjoy seeing memories being made and shared. I'm a very sentimental person, and weddings always have a special place in my heart.
My Approach To Wedding Photos
You hear the phrase "storyteller" being used a lot by wedding photographers. Every wedding has a story. A beginning, a middle, and an end. I really don't think it is all that hard to tell that story...
I think what is more challenging is capturing all the little details and candid moments. All those things that don't necessarily get a line on the wedding day schedule, but will bring a smile to your face when you are reminded of them. I create photographs to bring those memories to life again.
Wedding Photography Style
My style could best be described as a blend of photojournalistic/documentary and fine art wedding photography. I'm always watching what is going on so that I can be sure to catch those candid moments that will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you happy that someone was there to capture them.
I think that the traditional, posed formal photos are something that are expected at every wedding, and I'm happy to do them, but I focus on the real-life wedding experience. That's where the joy is.

2023 Couples and Family Portraits
Families, couples, even solo! Portrait sessions
Any time is the right time for photo session. Maybe it has been awhile since the last time you had family photos taken (and maybe those were in a department store). It's time for an update.
Celebrating a special occasion and want some amazing photographs to remember it by? Let's do it.
Maybe you just want to have a "me" day. Some time where it is all about you. A confidence boost. Something for your social media. Not a problem. #bestphotosever
What You Get
A typical family portrait session with me will last 45 minutes to an hour. Maybe more if nobody is scheduled after you. This gives me time to get to know your family and to get the best possible family pictures. You will receive approximately 20 photos from your session.
If you want to book a longer session of up to 2 hours, that can be arranged as well. The deluxe portrait package includes up to 50 professionally edited photos!

I Need a Wedding Photographer Near Me
That's great. I photograph weddings in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I also sometimes travel to nearby states on a case-by-case basis, so Connecticut and New Hampshire folks aren't completely out of luck. As much as I enjoy photographing weddings at some of the beautiful venues that I've been to before, I'm always interested in visiting new venues. Have a wedding venue that is especially unique or interesting? I'd love to hear about it.
The Wedding Photography Blog
I occasionally write articles for soon-to-be brides and grooms to help them learn more about my wedding photography services. There is a lot involved in planning a wedding, and I hope that some of these articles can help you to make informed decisions about your own wedding. There can be lots of questions about weddings and wedding photography that maybe you hadn't though about. For example, do you need a second shooter? Do you tip the vendors? How much time do I need for wedding photos?
If you have questions about wedding photography, or want to hire me as your Rhode Island or Massachusetts wedding photographer, be sure to contact me. If you would like to see an article about wedding photography (or weddings in general), let me know and I'd be happy to write one up for you.
