About

On WeddingWire since 2014

Revolution Summer Photography is a hands-off, documentary and reportage photography service covering not just Portland, Maine, but all of New England. Corey J. Butler, a seasoned wedding photojournalist, is an award-winning member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association. In addition to the WPJA, his work has been featured in Real Maine Weddings Magazine and the Bangor Daily News's "Bangor Metro" Magazine.

Experience

Corey's photojournalism experience started with coursework in formal documentary photography and editing, which lead to event photography contracts and pieces for the newspaper. This transitioned into telling the stories of couples and their weddings in 2014, and teaching the subject himself at the University level in 2024.

Capturing natural, unposed, unscripted moments from life as it honestly happened has been the primary guiding principle of his work. As a couple, your individual story and characters are the priorities, all authentically told and documented.

Revolution Summer Photography is able to capture how we were feeling on our wedding day in gorgeous images.

Revolution Summer photography was an absolute pleasure to work with! Corey, the photographer, was so dedicated from our first phone call to doing whatever it took to get a great shot. He literally was climbing down trees onto slippery rocks in a pond to get the right angle - and was happy to do it! Both my husband and I are not used to being photographed and were nervous about looking stiff but Corey is so personable and friendly that we were immediately at ease. It was enjoyable and fun and he makes you feel comfortable. But the best thing about Revolution Summer photography is his photographs. After going through the photos he took, I could feel everything I was feeling during our wedding. He is so gifted and was able to create images that will help me remember how our wedding day felt. What a gift we will cherish always. I highly recommend Corey for any event you would like to remember forever.

Thorough, Professional and Thoughtful

Revolution Summer (Corey) did a phenomenal job for our small, rural Maine wedding. They set a high bar among the rest of our vendors in terms of communication, outreach, professionalism and care to their craft. Whether it was multiple video chats leading up to the day, going over the timeline and providing input as needed, or taking liberty with the day as things need changing or adjustments, Corey was steadfast in doing the best job for us. Our guests have loved the photos from our gallery, and we were able to keep ones we wanted just for us to be only ours on their portal once it was published. We also personally felt at ease with Corey in terms of personality, interests and general demeanor, which was important to us as our wedding was small and believed the vibe our vendors gave off was as important as the guests we invited.

Overall, we would highly recommend Corey if you are looking for professional photos from a more journalistic lens, with fewer staged shots and more candid pictures that tell the story of your day authentically.

Amazing Photographer!

Corey was an amazing vendor to work with. We could not recommend his services enough. He was professional, funny, and engaged with our wedding party and guests seamlessly. The way that he told a story of our day through pictures went beyond our expectations and captured the relationships so well. He made our wedding day exceptionally better and we are so lucky to have his pictures to remember this day for a lifetime!
