The place was situated in a cute little strip mall plaza and the second we got in, the man working was super kind and got us what we needed. We immediately told him about our situation and he helped us out so quick we got out in less than 5 minutes!! (Maybe a stretch but just go with it haha) Would 100% recommend them to anyone with camera needs!!

I've done business with Hunt's for a few years now and have always had a great experience. I've…read morebeen to Melrose, Kenmore Square and Providence. Recently I rented a lens from Providence. Talking with Gerry about it, he let me know they had a used one available for purchase. It seemed like a good deal and I did buy it. Everyone has been helpful and nice. I like to buy local, and Hunts is super place to get what you need from local people. 100% recommend.

It's tough, man. I want to support local businesses; having local photo shops is rare and not…read moreeverybody is so lucky. But this Hunt's is a great example of why they're a dying breed. Selection is fine, but prices are not--everything I've looked at there is manufacturer list price when online retailers are often cheaper. They only stock high-end accessories that aren't much better than the no-name equivalents (and aren't 200%-the-price better). Staff is mostly friendly but aren't that helpful compared to online reviews and aren't allowed to let customers try gear in the store, so what's the point? Not good for resale, either. The manager taking a look at my gear (which, granted--old stuff!) grumbled (kinda rudely, to be honest) at me about how nobody wanted old stuff, they say they pin to B&H used prices but he could only give me $60 for a Panasonic GH4 because who wants that? Meanwhile KEH took two off my hands for $200 plus ten percent extra in store credit, and the week I went to Hunt's they had literally unloaded all their used stuff to a bulk buyer so wouldn't have been able to do the same anyway. (But they sell on Amazon, too, so I'm sure there are no used deals to be found.) Hunt's in Melrose got me started in videography in 2012, but things have changed, and this is no good at all.

We scheduled a session with Sarah, the owner, when our son was just a few weeks old. Of course, during the session, the baby wanted to eat again and our toddler wanted to run around. It was chaos but Sarah didn't flinch and got some beautiful photos. Our recent photo shoot was a family shoot on the beach. It was amazing! We got some great posed shots, but Sarah lives up to her calling as a photographer of life. She caputred the kids playing, enjoying the ocean and really stamped the moments in time. She is patient, loves working with kids and goes the extra mile to be sure the photos are amazing! Her rates are reasonable and her talent is amazing!

Absolutely the best eye for Cape Cod Scenes & Settings I've found anywhere…read more There is no shortage of artists and art galleries on Cape Cod & especially in Provincetown. However, Julie Tremblay is a modern master of composition, color, light and capturing the true sense of place. Her work is beautiful, clear and expertly produced. This gallery offers something for everyone from high-end, framed prints in all size to smaller, matted images at very reasonable prices. Incredible Work!!!

Working with Dan was seamless and timely. He initiated detailed e-mail updates, frequently clarified our preferences and introduced new options where he found possibilities. I recommend his work and his professionalism unequivocally. The price of all of the above is a small fraction of what I anticipated it would be. bmc, Plymouth, MA
