Kim Chapman Photography

Kim could not have done a better job. On top of the beautiful, artistic work she did Kim is a great business owner. She was flexible and responsive. The quality of her photos is well worth their price and Kim is a joy!

We are so happy that we were able to work with Kim for our wedding! She was creative, fun and based on the pictures we've seen, she was EVERYWHERE! (Even though all of our guests commented on how "invisible" she really was!) Her work is top notch and we wouldn't have done a single thing differently! Oh yeah- I should also mention that she comes highly recommended by her peers, as well. At a wedding recently I was asked who we used as a photographer- and as soon as he heard Kim's name- he had nothing but great things to say.

Kim was wonderful for our wedding this year. Would highly suggest for anyone looking for a photographer. Her work is simply amazing. We are so happy we chose Kim to capture our wedding day. She totally knocked our socks off.

I could not have been happier to have Kim as my wedding photographer! I hired her to photograph my destination wedding in Jamaica and so I did not get to meet her in person until we arrived in Jamaica a few days before my wedding. However, just through our communications over email and phone, I felt like I got to know her and really clicked with her. From the beginning I had a good feeling and knew I was making the right choice in going with Kim as my wedding photographer! And not only did she meet the high expectations I had of her, she exceeded them by far!!! She was fun to work with, she made me and my husband laugh, and she listened to what we wanted in addition to using her own creativity and personal style and flair! She went above and beyond what was outlined in our contract - as in she arrived earlier and stayed later than she had to and so I really felt our entire wedding was captured perfectly from start to finish!! I especially loved how excited she seemed to do our wedding! For two days prior to our wedding, I would run into her at the resort we were staying and got married at and she would tell how she has been constantly scoping out great photo op locations!!! I just couldn't wait to see the final products! And she was so efficient. Less than a week after our wedding, she had a blog post up that was to die for!! We have since received so many complements on our wedding photos. One thing I really love about our wedding photos is all the variety. She does some of the standard wedding shots you expect, then she does a lot of fun, original stuff too - this is what drew to me her work in the first place!! It's been almost two months and the fun never ends. Kim is ambitious and she has submitted our wedding photos to magazines and gotten our pictures published. It has all been like a dream, where the wedding fun just keeps going and going! We also had Kim photograph our Trash the Dress session on the beach two days after our wedding and again she went above and beyond. I knew she had not done a whole lot of these sessions before so I sent her some inspiration photos and she then told me she knew exactly what I was looking for and that she would deliver! And she did - again, significantly exceeding my already high expectations!!!!! What can I say, you cannot go wrong with Kim as your wedding photographer - she will give you the best of the best. And whatever you ask for, you will get that too! Finally, because I am huge picky perfectionist, Kim accommodated me and photoshopped some photos for me AFTER delivering the final product! It had nothing to do with her skills as a photographer, I just did not like some of the "un-pretty" trees that were present at my beach ceremony site - so she photoshopped them out for me, making my photos even more beautiful!

Kim Chapman was the best! She shot our engagement and wedding photographs. Kim was very attentive to our style and personalities. Her creativity captured the essense of our day! All of the vendors who knew Kim were excited that she would be shooting our wedding. Perfect!

Dear Kim,Brendan and I would like to thank you for traveling to Florida to photograph our wedding day. You took so many amazing photos! You captured the beauty around us - including the river, boat docks, palm trees, fruit trees, and more! Your picture style was amazing and you truly captured so many memorable moments. It was great having you be a part of our special day! You went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you again for your hard work!All the Best, Amy & Brendan Schmutte

I would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Chapman to other brides. Our photos are of the highest quality and our finished album is a showpiece. She was VERY easy to work with and is marvelously patient with people. We were very pleased with our experience and are so glad we contracted with Ms. Chapman.

Every amazing moment from our wedding day was captured perfectly by Kim! She is highly recommended by us! -Amy and Ryan Moltenbrey

Kim was excellent! Not only was she extremely professional, she was friendly, fun and easygoing from our first meeting until she took her last photo at our wedding. She accomodated all of our requests, and the finished product was amazing. We would recommend Kim to any bride and groom looking for a professional photographer to shoot their wedding day.

Working with Kim was great - she was interested in getting to know us as a couple and adapting to our style and preferences. Our photos came out great, we are very happy overall.

I hired Kim for my vow renewal in May 2011. Originally, I had a photographer friend lined up for the job but being military, he fell through as he got orders around the time of wedding day. I googled photographers in the Portland, ME area and emailed Kim in a panic. Luckily she was still available on such short notice and even gave me a discount on her regular prices when I explained we were short on budget because we had not planned a payment for our photographer friend. She was very easy to work with, responded to emails and phone calls quickly and efficiently and I am very grateful for her understanding and willingness to negotiate on short notice. When wedding day came, Kim was very easy to get along with and was very professional. My bridesmaids and I enjoyed being goofy with her during a spontaneous mini photo shoot before the ceremony and she dealt fabulously with other guests who were attempting to take their own photos. I loved viewing a sneak peek of the photos on Kim's blog about 2 days after the wedding and the completed album in about 10 days following. The pictures were beautiful and even made me tear up on a few. Kim did wonderful work given the cold and rainy day it turned out to be. The bright blue of my bridesmaids dresses, my accessories and other wedding decor really popped against the gray sky. My only complaint is that I wish I had more close-up shots, especially of guests emotions during our ceremony and our long kiss at the finale of our first dance. I feel like those moments were overlooked without a zoom lens or if Kim was trying not to be intrusive just to get the shot There are a few photos where my hair is out of place or there is a coffee mug in the picture, etc but overall I would say the value for her experience was great. I love that I received a professional proof book, a digital CD with all the photos and full printing rights. Thank you Kim for capturing our big day so beautifully!

I would HIGHLY recommend Kim Chapman, as a wedding photographer. She did an absolutely amazing job and totally captured our wedding day, in the most perfect & magical way!! Kim was very easy to work with and a pleasure to get to know, along the way. Kim blended right into the crowd, kind of as if she was a guest, with a fancy camera! We are just so happy with her work and are very thankful for all the amazing pictures we now have, from our special day.

We had Kim's associate Karen Lewis photograph our wedding. She was fabulous - very easy going, flexible and unitrusive! AND the photos were fantastic! We love all 700 of them!

I really enjoyed working with Kim. My husband and I are very pleased with the quality of the wedding photos we received and the package she was able to put together for us. It's great to walk away from the experience with your photos on a CD, not having to order every single picture from a website. That was what mattered most to us and one of the top reasons why we chose Kim- she really makes an effort to do everything she would want for herself, if she was the bride.I couldn't give Kim 5 stars on quality, only because there are some shots that I think we missed. There are very few shots of me, in my dress, at full-length. I also didn't get hardly any shots of me and my sister and mom. I know that she focuses on capturing the story of the day and she did a great job, but I wish that we had a few more family shots.For responsiveness, Kim was a little slow at returning emails, but when she did, she was thorough. The contract was very easy to understand. Kim is extremely professional, especially working with the other vendors. I would highly recommend Kim. She is a great person to work with, generally happy and fun, excellent quality of photos (love the proof book that she puts together), and affordable.
