Dave Stotzer of Cape Ann Photography has been my go-to photographer for over a decade now, and for…read moregood reason! From the atmosphere of the studio to the final print, it is clear that CAP cares about its client base. I have collaborated with CAP on everything from high school senior photos to actor headshots. Dave and his partner, Dani, are a wonderful team that always make me feel comfortable (which reads in the final photos!). They know how to make a shoot feel candid and personal, and they will do whatever it takes to get the perfect shot. I can't tell you how many compliments I've gotten on my professional headshots, which I feel definitely sets me apart when I'm looking for jobs! Cape Ann Photography makes their process personal, and the results speak for themselves. Its said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but with Cape Ann Photography, that picture is worth MUCH MORE.

Esther is the best of the best! Our entire series of interactions, from our first intro call to our…read moreengagement photos, to especially our wedding day, were fun, professional, and organized. She went above and beyond on our engagement shoot, even sending us a sneak peek the NEXT DAY so that I could have them for our one-year-out from the wedding celebration. On our wedding day she (and her second shooter Cassie) kept us organized and on time, capturing all the shots that were important to us and so many more, while still allowing us to enjoy every second of the day. She sent us an amazing sneak peek 2 days later, which was incredible, and the timeline for receiving our entire album wasn't long at all. Her editing style is exactly what we were looking for, light and airy while still keeping the color and reality of the images. Hire her as your photographer!!!!!

Not only was she completely understanding when we needed to reschedule our engagement photos three times (on account of bad weather,) but she found us the most beautiful and private areas of Cape Ann to shoot at. We were ASTONISHED by her quick turnaround time and how beautiful the pictures turned out. We have received endless compliments on them, as she was able to perfectly capture our personalities and relationship. Esther spent hours with me on the phone helping to establish my wedding timeline, answer my long list of questions, and figure out where I wanted to take our wedding photos. On the wedding day, Esther kept me calm and collected. Aside from her incredible professional abilities, she is such a kind and amiable person. We truly felt like she was our friend! We found ourselves a photographer for life and cannot imagine working with anyone else. If you're considering hiring Esther, please do. She was by far my favorite wedding vendor that we worked with!

Anne is a gifted photographer and just so fun to work with! Anne photographed our wedding (200…read morehundred guests - some of whom were really camera-shy, some of whom are major hams...) and captured it in a way that mirrors just how it felt to be there. She got our guests to laugh and relax and really be themselves, and brought her fine-art eye to the wonderful candids. She captured moments I thought only I had seen - and did so totally unobtrusively - it was like she shot it all through our eyes. Anne worked closely with us to choose the shots in advance, work out the approach we wanted her take, choose her assistant, Paul (a star in his own right), and weed through the shots after it was all over. She's warm, smart and professional - basically a total dream.

It was great to have Nicole come to our apartment to do a photo shoot with our new baby. Booking…read morewas super easy--you do it through the website and I was able to reschedule my session with no problem. Pricing is great especially for the quality and the photos you get. I sent them to a friend who had already booked her own newborn photo shoot and she said she regretted putting down a deposit with another photographer because she loved Nicole's style! We don't take a lot of photos and are pretty camera-shy, but Nicole was very helpful and gently guided us on what to do and made us feel free to try out different things. She was very gracious during our session and even went a little over time because we had to feed the baby in the middle of it. Photos came back within two weeks and we're very happy with them. Definitely will be recommending to my friends and hope to book Nicole again!

To start, the booking process was incredibly easy through her website and she was easily able to help reschedule my session (both the date and location!) over email. I felt very comfortable with her as soon as the session started and she walked me through what our time would look like. The gallery is incredible; I haven't loved photos of myself this much in years! I will be recommending Nicole to anyone in need of a photographer in the Boston area. It was so worth the investment!

Kate recently did a One Year Cake Smash photoshoot for our daughter. I wasn't sure how our baby…read morewould do, as she is in a "busy" phase. But, Kate made it so fun. She was kind and patient with our baby and the hour flew by! Our baby had a great time! We originally hired Kate to do our newborn photos last year (April 2020), and unbeknownst to us...or anyone, they ended up being canceled because of the pandemic. It was a really hard time for us to be in a pandemic, with a newborn, as new parents, while isolated. Missing out on our newborn photos was a small but nonetheless heartbreaking loss for me. Kate was so graceful and kind, she offered alternatives and came to shoot us (from afar) outside at our home...those photos will be forever memorable. It's clear she loves her work, but its also clear she is a compassionate and caring human. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Kate.

On the bright side, there is no admission fee, you can walk all around the shack and take as many photos as your little heart desires. If you were expecting any more however you may be a little disappointed! The shack itself is actually a replica, built after the original was destroyed some years ago. It would have been great if there was at least an info plaque or memorial around the area, but all you will find instead are some lobster remains from the restaurants nearby! Overall, an inevitable photo op if you are in beautiful Rockport, but don't expect more than that from this landmark.

We hired Melissa to shoot our wedding and could not sing her praises loud enough. She captured the…read moreessence of our entire wedding day so perfectly that everyone who sees our photos can not stop raving about them. They say they feel transported back to the day (as we do every time we view them). Our photos are timeless and quite simply put, gorgeous. A few things that I love about working with her. (1) She works alone. (2) She has the patience of a monk (3) She blends in so naturally. We had a guest comment on how stealthy she was. Most people had no idea she was taking photos the entire evening, yet she captured the most beautifully candid photos of our guests. (4) She's quick to catch a fleeting moment. She's truly a natural behind the lens. (5) She has a very lovable personality that seems to light people up. (6) She is willing to travel. Our wedding was in San Francisco. (7) All images were available within one week for viewing and purchasing online which makes it easy to circulate to family and friends. (8) The print pricing isn't overly inflated like most professional photographers (9) And last but not least, she's affordable and flexible. Check out her portfolio, give her a call and meet her. I think you'll be impressed with her professionalism and incredible work! We certainly are.

I would definitely not recommend this photographer. Because we live across the country, we were…read moreunable to do our engagement photos with Melissa. I think that if we had, I definitely would have hired someone else. She arrived unprepared and complained about the lighting in the room I chose to get ready in. She took my Dress into the hall to try to get a photo of it but those photos weren't even in my proofs. We went to take photos before the ceremony of the bridal party. I wanted a beach, but she brought us to a marshy area that had not been mowed with a water view behind it. It was a mess to walk in, and everyone shoes got dirty. She said she usually checks to see that it's been mowed, but she "didn't have time that day". We took photos with everyone. She made my now husband keep his jacket buttoned. With his arm holding me, it makes the jacket look like it's pulling and ill fitting. In group photos, no one is properly posed. The group isn't proportioned well on either side of us. It looks like a bunch of hooligans standing clustered in a marsh, certainly not anything I would expect from my wedding day. We would not frame a single photo from the marsh. During the ceremony, melissa snapped away, yet she didn't get a single photo of everyone looking at us as we said our vows. No photo is centered. They're a nightmare. First dance photos aren't great-- not one has ever been posted or used. There are only a few photos of us dancing after dinner-- melissa says those "get repetitive". If I paid you to be there for X number of hours, take photos the whole time. Overall, going through these photos, there isn't one that I can say, "That's our wedding photo." We don't have ANY printed in my house that melissa took. My father in law summed it up best by saying, "The pictures will remind us of that day, but they did not do it any justice." I had the wedding of my dreams, and I don't have any photos to display in my home of the best day of my life. We are beyond disappointed. When I told melissa how we felt, she told me that I was a beautiful bride. I have to say, I agree. I looked great on my wedding day. Friends and family who took photos with iPhones got some great shots and video. I'm just not sure how my photographer who was paid thousands of dollars missed the mark with these and couldn't get a good shot. Do yourself a favor and go with someone else.

We were booking pretty last minute but we really wanted some good fall foliage in our photos, and Stephen was able to squeeze us in on a Friday morning and it was perfect. We booked a 1 hour session at Cider Hill Farms and ended up taking photos for an extra half hour with an outfit change and we had such a good time! Stephen was so friendly and relaxed during the shoot, and even though it is a very busy season, he was able to get us our gallery from Oct. 28 just under three weeks later. The gallery we received is absolutely stunning. The foliage and the lighting were perfect on the day of the shoot, but Stephen was really able to capture both, and colors in our photos are unbelievably beautiful & exactly what we were hoping for. The gallery is easy to use, easy to share, and easy to download from. We are really grateful to have these photos and would absolutely recommend Stephen Grant Photography for anyone in the area!
