We had a great experience with Kim! She had worked at our venue, the Inn on Peaks Island, before and so was comfortable and capable of working our wedding as the sole photographer (which was ideal for us given our budget and guest count). She brought an incredible level of professionalism and good taste to her work, and we got a bunch of shots I would never had expected or thought to ask for. She also did a great job getting candids of all of our closest friends and family. I was thrilled work with her and would be happy to work with her again in other contexts.

We were lucky enough to work with Kim as our wedding photographer! We originally booked Kim for what should have been our July 2020 wedding, but when the pandemic hit and we postponed, we could not have asked for a more supportive or wonderful vendor. She accomodated our change and really worked with us throughout the entire process. We even booked and had a second set of engagement photos taken. Kim is not just incredibly skilled behind the camera, but she had such a way of ensuring we were comfortable and felt natural. She is unbelievably organized which was SO helpful on our big day. We cannot say enough good things about Kim and look forward to continuing having a relationship with her.

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!

Kim was so fantastic to work with! Our original date was July 2020 and postponed to September 2022. We ended up scheduling two different engagement shoots, and she was so flexible and willing to work with us. Both of us were a little nervous being in front of a camera, but she made us feel so comfortable, easily helped us navigate poses, and got us laughing throughout. On our wedding, even when things got a little behind on timing, she managed to help us navigate the timeframe so we got BEAUTIFUL photos but were still able to enjoy our cocktail hour and mingle with guests. We are so thankful that we were able to work with her! 100% do not hesitate to hire her - she and her second shooter Alexandra are phenomenal

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!

Kim was the most AMAZING photographer ! On our wedding day we had a unexpected Nor’easter (in October) , and she came prepared! She took unbelievably gorgeous pictures despite the weather. Every picture she took looked like it was from a magazine, she photographed every moment of my wedding so perfectly. Thank you so much Kim for capturing every little detail of my wedding, you are unbelievably talented! I appreciate all of your guidance throughout the day! I highly recommend her if you are looking for a photographer for your special day! Thank you again Kim, my husband and I will cherish these pictures for many years to come!

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.

Kim and her assistant Alexandra did a wonderful job at our wedding at Clay Hill Farm! They were very professional and made us feel at ease the day of the wedding. Best of all, they were able to capture truly amazing shots - and shots that were not the typical cookie cutter wedding shots, but really unique and stunning photos. Kim also has a number of options to work within any couple's budget. We loved the photos and were so happy to have our day captured so beautifully!

Kim photographed our wedding at Sebasco Harbor Resort on 6.25.16. We loved that she had been there before, gathering ideas from the albums she sent us of prior shoots at Sebasco. She was amazing, and the photographs are STUNNING. As a bride and groom you have these photos of your special day forever, they are important! She was worth every penny! So many people tell me that our pictures look like they should be in a magazine, and that is what you get when you hire Kim! I highly recommend her! Four months post wedding I am now a wedding planner in South Carolina, so trust me when I say Kim is an amazing, professional photographer and you are in good hands with her!

Kim was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding! One of the biggest things we wanted was to feel throughout the day that we didn't have cameras in our face, and Kim was an absolute professional in that way, looking back and seeing photos she had taken, I can't ever remember seeing her, but her work is stunning! She was also incredibly patient and kind as neither my husband or I are great in front of a lens, but she was gentle and encouraging when taking photos with us and our family, and the fact that she loved and took photos of our puppy was a huge bonus! I would recommend Kim any day to someone looking for a professional and wildly talented photographer- she's sure to blow you away with her work!

Kim did such an amazing job with the photos for our wedding - from the moment we met her, we knew we were in good hands! Kim didn’t overload us with questions but got all the moments we really wanted covered in the course of the day - she's an expert! We were thrilled with the quality and breadth of the shots that were captured - she got to the essence of every encounter. I cannot recommend her enough!

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 was fantastic to work with. She is so much fun and really puts on the extra effort to make sure that each photo is stunning. We had an engagement photo session with her 1st so we could get to know her style and we were blown away. She took the most unique photos. We just got married last month and we have already seen all flour photos o was so pleased with how fast we got them. I look at them every day they take my breath away. She captured every last detail she was the best.

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!!!

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 great to work with, and the photographs turned out INCREDIBLE! She had some unique ideas that resulted in some amazing pictures, and happily went along with our go-with-the-flow attitude. She went above and beyond, even going so far as to practically lay in the wet grass to get the shots. Well worth the money!

Kim captured our Celtic candlelight ceremony perfectly! She was assertive but not bossy, and orchestrated the family and bride- groom photo sessions with ease. Flexibility and finesse were key qualities necessary for this ceremony, and she NAILED it!

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!

Karen Lewis, a photographer for Kim Chapman Photography, was absolutely amazing. She was always present but never was in the way. She captured all the moments of our wedding from the rush to get the dress on, to the ceremony, to the crazy dancing of my family and finally the entire wedding party running on the beach! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture everything on our Wedding Day.
