    Classy and Professional

    We had Kim for our February wedding this year and she was a godsend! From the hiring until getting the edited photos back she was a true professional and more than willing to break down everything with us. She took a not ideal setting and turned it into absolutely stunning photos effortlessly.

    Highly recommend Kim for any photography needs, but definitely for your wedding!

    Great experience!

    Kim was so wonderful to work with! We were able to do our engagement pictures with her and it was great to get to meet her and understand her style before the wedding day. You can tell she loves what she does and has a great eye for locations, lighting, poses etc! We had a lot of family pictures to get through and the team (photographers and videographers) got through it seamlessly! And the pictures are to die for!! So beautiful!

    Love My Wedding Photos!

    I cannot say enough good things about Kim Chapman Photography! I've gotten so many compliments on my engagement photos and my wedding photos. She is able to work some magic with lighting to make the photos absolutely beautiful. She was also incredibly professional to work with, was always on time, and set clear expectations for how the process would work. In addition, I got my photos back so quickly, which was amazing! I would definitely recommend working with Kim for your wedding or event.

    Truly Wonderful

    Kim was nothing short of fabulous on our wedding day. She was attentive and a pleasure to work with. She was able to capture the day’s most memorable moments and was so easy to work with as someone who is not always fond of being in front of a camera. If you’re looking for someone to photograph you’re special day, there’s no one better than Kim.

    Kim did an amazing job with our wedding producing stunning, high quality pictures that we will treasure for a lifetime. Along with her second shooter, Kim truly captured our big day perfectly and we are so happy with how our photos came out. Her photos stood out to us when we were searching for a photographer and our pictures came out looking better than we could have ever imagined.

    Oh my god. What can I say about Kim? She is FABULOUS, and takes the most stunning pictures you could ever imagine. Kim is someone who truly knows her work, and loves it. You can feel how much she enjoys taking pictures and capturing the moments for you. We had a short engagement - 6 months - and it didn't end up working out that we had time for engagement photos. Kim suggested doing something after the wedding, called a "Rock the Dress" shoot. I was intrigued, and it was perfect! My husband and I got to put our wedding outfits back on 2 months after the wedding and take photos on the beach, lying in the sand and even in the water! But beyond that, at the wedding Kim was able to direct us to the best shots, come up with some creative ideas and capture all of the formal photos that I was hoping for! Kim is wonderfully talented and we were so grateful to her for capturing our wedding day!! <3 Kendra & Andrew

    When we started looking for wedding photographers, I probably looked at more than 40+ photographer's websites. I was looking for something unique and just wasn't finding it until I came across Kim's website. As soon as I saw her pictures, I knew I had to have her as our wedding photographer, and I was even more excited that she fit into our price range. Kim was always super responsive by email and when we met with her for our engagement pictures, she was so nice and fun and genuinely committed to getting the best pictures of us. It didn't seem like we were just another one of her clients, she made it seem like we were special.

    When it came time for the wedding, she looked over our tight timeline and realized she was going to need help from a second photographer and booked one a few days before the date. I'm so glad she knew what she was doing because they were able to get the pictures done a lot quicker with time to spare and we were able to make it to other locations to shoot at. It also made it a lot less stressful. As for the wedding pictures, they came out absolutely beautiful. I love how she does the usual staged "pictures for your parents," as well as some unique shots and candids. The whole collection just shows how awesome the night progressed. People commented that the pictures should be in a magazine (which isn't surprising, Kim has had her pictures in magazines.) We couldn't have asked for better pictures, thank you Kim!!!

    Kim is AMAZING. I fell in love with her work when I saw a picture of hers gracing the cover of Seacoast Weddings in January 2015. I then decided to give up a few things so that I could fit her into my budget, and I am so glad I did. Kim knows exactly what she is doing, and I learned from our engagement shoot that if she tells you to do a pose that feels awkward, do it, because it's going to come out amazing! On our wedding day she insisted we go in the stairwell of our church, saying it would make a beautiful picture. Boy was she right. The photo turned out being one of our favorites, and looks like something out of a Disney movie! Not only is she talented, but Kim is very responsive and so sweet. I would choose her a hundred times over as my photographer. I have gotten many messages from people saying our photos are the most beautiful they've ever seen, and that they even made them tear up, and this was coming from people I don't know extremely well! Having Kim as your photographer poses only one problem, you won't be able to decide which ones to put up on the wall!

    Kim was our photographer for both our wedding and engagement photos. I could not have been more pleased with our pictures, they turned out better than I could have even hoped for! Everyone comments on them and asks who our photographer was. Our photos are amazing and Kim is worth every single penny!

    I highly recommend Kim as a wedding photographer. She is fun, flexible, reliable and takes AMAZING photographs. My family scored through different Maine photographer blogs, and each of us decided independently that Kim's photos were the best. I'm so grateful I hired her, my photos are so beautiful and I will cherish them forever.

    Kim was AMAZING!! We are from PA and got married in Maine. It was difficult to plan the wedding being far away and Kim was very accommodating and made sure we didn't worry the day of our wedding. She listened to requests we wanted and our pictures are better than I could have imagined!!! She is very professional and pays attention to details. She also got great shots of our dog! We got so many compliments about the pictures!!! Highly recommended!!!

    I wish there were ten stars in every category. Kim captured the joy, elegance and beauty of our winter wedding on the Coast of Maine exquisitely. The value was phenomenal. I recommend Kim to every Maine bride. Our wedding was perfect and so was Kim's work. You know you found a gem when dozens of strangers and friends ask with amazement "Who was your photographer?"

    Kim was amazing!!! We planned a destination wedding at French's Point in Stockton Springs, Maine. We live in Texas, so this made things a bit complicated - but Kim was SO easy to work with. We did most of our exchanges via email, and she was always prompt and thorough in her responses, which was super helpful as an "out of town" bride. On top of that her work is stunning. We had a blustery overcast day that was much colder than planned - but our photographs captured nothing but happiness and the stunning landscape of our venue. She was patient with us, and made everything so easy. She blended seamlessly throughout the night and took a ton of amazing and candid shots. We also got a full color photo catalogue, along with a jump drive of all our pictures, in addition to the album. Hiring Kim was one of the best decisions we made for our big day!

    Kim was our wedding photographer for our wedding at Clay Hill Farm in Cape Neddick, ME in September. As we are out of town guests from NJ having a "destination" wedding in beautiful Maine, it was fantastic having a photographer who was familiar with both the area and the wedding venue to suggest some fantastic photos. We started at Nubble Lighthouse as we really wanted Ocean side photos, and the beautiful blue sky and (hot) sun made lovely but "squinty-eyed" photos. She recommended heading to Clay Hill, where we were able to get wonderful, green photos, and she worked with the lighting & shadows to capture beautiful images. Kim is a bride's dream photographer, not afraid to speak up to the bridal party or venture into different areas just to capture wonderful photos.

    Kim did an amazing job with our wedding photos. Through the whole wedding planning process she was extremely easy to communicate with. Her prices are reasonable, and the work she does its outstanding. I would definitely recommend her to anyone else getting married in the Maine/NH area.

    Kim did an AMAZING job on our photos! We never got to actually meet in person before the wedding day and she was everything we've dreamed of plus more. Not only did she take amazing photos and capture the most beautiful moments, I had asked previously if we could take some vintage/rustic-type pictures and she produced the most gorgeous shots. I would highly recommend her to anyone and for any shoot. Her assistant was just as terrific!

    What can I say, Kim Chapman was beyond amazing! I was totally satisfied with hiring Kim! She went above and beyond my expectations! I heard of Kim through another bride that hired her to do her photgraphy at the same resort I was getting married at. I fell in love with her pictures! There was no doubt in my mind that I was going to get her to do my pictures as well!

    I got married in Montego Bay, Jamaica on 12-12-12. A good photographer to capture the memories of my special day was my only "must have". Kim was very easy to communicate with. She wanted to be sure that she knew exactly what I wanted and any specific poses or ideas that I had to have.

    Kim and her husband Dave arrived at our resort the day before our big day and spent time capturing pictures of the resort. The day of our wedding she captured all our pre-wedding moments as well as unique shots she found on the property. She was very professional and so easy to work with! We got along so well, I felt like I had known her for years!

    Our wedding photos were amazing! We didn't just do the ordinary wedding poses! She really thought outside the box! I'm still amazed at how the pictures came out! I can't stop looking at them! We also did a "trash the dress" shoot the next morning!

    We had so much fun doing that shoot! She really knows how to open your eyes to new things! What could be more amazing than capturing the beautiful blue Caribbean waters, basking in the tropical sun with you and your husband! The pictures came out better than I had ever expected!
    Everyone thought that our pictures should be used for an advertisement for the resort! Others thought we both should be models! Well, that's all thanks to Kim! She worked her magic and talent and made us feel and look like we WERE models!

    I can't say enough of how extremely pleased I am with how my photos came out! Even my husband who does not think too much about getting pictures taken, was very excited and thrilled with Kim's work!

    Kim was great to work with and the photographs turned out amazing! She had some unique ideas that resulted in some incredible pictures. I wasn't sure about paying for a professional photographer but I am so relieved that I chose Kim... the money was well worth it. She went above and beyond to get some stunning pictures. Highly recommended!

    Kim was absolutely amazing to work with. She has a great eye for interesting and beautiful shots, and my husband and I couldn't be happier with our final photos. She was easy to get a hold of and answered all of my questions throughout the wedding planning process. I would recommend Kim to anyone!
