Nostalgia drove me into photography at an early age - and lead me into my studies of photojournalism.
We know when we're at a critical juncture in our lives. You may even outwardly acknowledge it. For me, being able to authentically capture, to preserve those moments in a photograph is such a privilege. I know how much it means to me to be able to look back and say 'this is how things actually happened.' There is beauty in those truths. The kind of folks I work with share that appreciation.
Through my own studies in general photography, photojournalism, and digital post-processing, I first delved into the technical aspects of creating digital photos with the aim of capturing fleeting authentic moments and their stories. This journey led to pieces for the newspaper and into weddings - and eventually being accepted into the International Wedding Photojournalists Association and earning a number industry awards and acknowledgments spanning 10 years. Since then, my work has been showcased in print publications like BDN's "Bangor Metro Magazine" and "Real Maine Weddings" magazine, and in 2024 I began teaching digital photography at the University level.
To genuinely show you your true self on such an important day, I aim to be more than just another vendor at your wedding, and the stories in my reviews over the years certainly reflect that.
I'd love to hear your journey up to now and to be able to tell a paramount piece of it in the future.

I wasn't quite sure what to look for in a wedding photographer initially and stumbled upon Corey's page/website. After looking through his photos and reading about his documentary-...
style photojournalism approach I was intrigued and reached out to him. I'm so glad I did because he was great to work with! He was straightforward with his pricing & communications, and was quick to respond to questions.
I was nervous about having a wedding photographer in general, as my husband and I are not huge fans of taking pictures. Corey fit right in with our friends and family the day of the wedding and was able to discretely get great candids of our guests. He put us at ease and it was fun and painless to take photos with family, and photos of just the two of us. I appreciated that we were able to go about our day as we wanted to, and he captured unposed pictures of the day.
Overall, I would highly recommend working with Corey and I'm so glad we chose him as our photographer.

it fit perfectly for what we were looking for. He allowed us to be fully present in the moment while he quietly captured all the details.
He was easy to work with and incredibly thoughtful in the planning process. He was clearly experienced and prepared, and we didn't have to think about the photography during the day, which was exactly what we wanted. Before the wedding, he helped us talk through what we wanted and what mattered most. We highly recommend him!

Throughout the wedding planning process, Corey was communicative, organized, and helped us choose our priorities and timeline for the day.
On the day of the wedding, he was super present and on schedule; he was so comfortable to have around, flexible to meet our needs, and had a warm and friendly attitude that added to the day.
We got some preview photos on Instagram just a few days after the wedding, and our full edited album within a few weeks.
And we're obsessed with our photos!!! Corey is extremely skilled at what he does, and he's got exactly the professionalism and personality you want to have support you on your wedding day.

hotographer/photojournalist. He captured the moments that made up our wedding day organically and authentically. The results are beautiful and true to us as a couple. We were thrilled to see the photos he posted just days after the wedding, and even more happy to explore the full gallery, which he produced much more quickly than other wedding photographers seem to. Looking at his photographs, we can relive the day and see ourselves being us: smiling, laughing, dancing. It is a magical thing. Second, and just as important, Corey was a pleasure to work with--leading up to the wedding, the day of, and afterwards. He is a calm, friendly person who we genuinely enjoyed getting to know. He is also organized, communicative, and attentive to detail. We are just so pleased and cannot recommend Corey enough.

edding day story was shown perfectly and authentically through his photos. Corey had amazing energy from the moment he showed up. He was everywhere at once, capturing all of the big moments, but also all of the small moments and details that could easily be forgotten or overlooked. He made us feel relaxed and at ease and mingled with all our guests and the wedding party. Everyone commented how much they loved him! When I was close to calling off our boat ride to our reception, Corey quickly chimed in with his positive energy and convinced me otherwise. He braved the rain to capture the most beautiful and special pictures of us on the boat heading to our reception. Corey is a master of his craft. His attention to detail and passion is unmatched. And he is just a genuine, kind, and fun person. We received our gallery of photos within just a few weeks after our wedding, much faster than we anticipated and we were absolutely blown away at how beautiful the photos came out. They were better than I ever could have imagined and we cannot stop looking at them. We are so, so lucky to have found Corey and recommend him a million times over to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding.

We hired Corey at Revolution Summer Photography for our wedding at Woodstock Inn & Brewery in Woodstock, NH and we can't say enough good things about the experience! We wanted some...
one to capture the day as it was, with a focus on candids and Corey absolutely delivered just that, rain and all!
First off, Corey is excellent! His sense of professionalism was apparent right from the start. Corey answered all our planning/timeline questions as we prepared for the day. Day of he did a great job of bouncing between the individual bridal suites capturing all our getting ready shots. It felt as if there was a picture to take, Corey was there. Even when there wasn't an obvious picture to take, or a moment to capture, Corey was able to make each and every moment shine. He turned seemingly benign moments into stunning images that we will remember forever. He is simply an excellent photographer!
The ceremony ended up being held inside due to weather, but it didn't matter where the photos were concerned. Corey was able to capture the intimate feeling of the indoor ceremony better than we had expected. We also had an issue with our DJ, where we were supposed to have a lot more lighting during the reception, and not only was he able to capture the party vibe of our reception even with the less than ideal lighting, he was also the person to notify us of our DJ's mis-hap. We we're thankful for his professional knowledge to pull us aside and make us aware of a missed detail that we 'd paid for and deserve a refund for that we likely wouldn't have noticed until after the fact.
I could go on and on about Revolution Summer Photography, but I'll leave it with this: if you want to truly capture the feelings of your special day, hire Corey and rest assured you'll get what you want. Our only regret is not paying him for more time!
Also, he's a really great guy! Aside from his expertise, he was a fun and charming presence at our wedding!

We cannot say enough good things about Corey! As people who aren't always comfortable in front of the camera, we wanted to find a photographer who really captured the energy of the...
day beyond just the traditional portraits. Corey's documentary style was exactly what we were looking for - when we got the first pictures back, we couldn't stop smiling because he truly captured the emotion of the day perfectly. All we've talked about since our wedding is how much we want to relive that one perfect day, and Corey's photos are the way we can relive every step of it. Beyond the quality of his work, which speaks for itself, on the day of our wedding Corey was somehow everywhere, getting shots of everything, while blending into the fabric of the day so seamlessly. We feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with Corey - we have a beautiful memories to look back on thanks to him!

The best wedding photography we could have hoped for!
We picked Corey because we wanted someone with experience in taking candid, authentic photos of us and our guests celebrating...
, and he delivered in spades. From the outset he was accommodating, responsive, and offered guidance to make sure we had all our bases covered beforehand.
On the day of, he fell right in with the rest of the guests, cracking jokes and making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable as he captured us getting ready. His skill at posed shots was just as excellent when it came time for the family photos, and he got through them in record time so that we could all head over to cocktail hour and get to the fun part.
As for the photos themselves, they were phenomenal! I wasn't sure any photo could capture the beauty and fun that all of us were experiencing, but he proved me wrong. We're so happy with the candid style, showing everyone's genuine smiles, laughs, and tears of joy.
Corey also got us the completed online album blazingly fast, in just a couple of weeks; way earlier than expected. He even curated a slideshow of his highlights of the wedding. We, our friends, and our families have all loved poring over the whole album, and will treasure it for many years to come.
Thanks again - we hope neither of us ever need to get married again, but if we do, we'll know who to call!
Thanks,
Loren & Kirsten

We used Corey for our wedding and engagement pictures. We worked with him for several months and he was always super responsive and clear with expectations, pricing, and giving us ...
ideas. The whole process was made super easy. We knew what his vision was and how to help execute it to get the best results. Expectations for the events were also made clear and put into writing which was nice. Corey also met with us remotely and in person to discuss, always making himself available with our busy schedules.
The day of the wedding he arrived ahead of schedule to set up and scope out the venue. All the pictures we wanted were taken, he also captured incredible photos throughout the day which told a story of the wedding. This included us getting ready, setting up the venue, ceremony, reception, and first dances. All the little moments that make the day special are now captured in photos. Looking back through the photos, we're able to recount what we were doing and we just couldn't stop smiling. The photos are all very high quality and we're provided to us just two weeks after our wedding. We expected Corey to deliver great photos based on his portfolio but we were still absolutely blown away. These photos will absolutely be cherished for years to come.
If you're looking for a professional to help guide you through the process of having a photographer, who is affordable, easy going, and clear with his artistic vision this is your guy. Thank you so much for doing an extraordinary job documenting our day

Corey took incredible photos of our day, and we couldn't be more grateful. He really put us at ease, was personable with us and our guests, and was great at keeping us on schedule ...
once we got into the thick of the celebrations.
I would describe Corey's photography style as documentary, which was perfect for us, because we didn't want our photos to look too choreographed. His shots look really organic, and we appreciate that he stayed true to the vibe of our day. We will remember our wedding even more clearly because Corey's shots captured the action, and are not just an album of posed 'moments'. Really the photos speak for themselves, but we can't recommend him enough!

It really felt like we were able to relive the wedding through his photographs. His candid, documentary style may not be the right fit for everyone, but it certainly was for us. We have photos that are both beautiful and so authentic to us, our wedding, and our friends and family. So many special small moments were caught by Corey and multiple guests said they didn't even realize Corey was there. He does such a good job of just blending into the wedding, but making sure to capture all of the most important moments. On top of that, he is just a super nice guy who we enjoyed spending time with. He was casual and made us feel comfortable. I also appreciated that he was willing to voice his opinions based on his expertise. He so thoughtfully gave us some physical photos during our wedding as a gift that were so sweet. He got our photos back within two weeks which was incredibly impressive and there were SO many photos. We can't stop looking at them. If you're looking for authentic, joyful photos, do yourself a favor and hire Corey!

Corey photographed our engagement photos, our private family only ceremony, and our reception party. Each one of these assignments was very different. A very wet waterfall setting,...
a mid day shoot with cloud cover, and a nighttime boat party during a thunderstorm. Despite the 3 wildly varying conditions Corey photographed in, he delivered fantastic results. We could not be happier with how the photos turned out from each venture he photographed.
To me this is the sign of a great photographer. Anyone can take good photos in a controlled, well lit setting. Corey's adaptability sets him apart from other photographers I've worked with in my professional career.
Lastly, what separates Corey from other wedding photographer's I've seen, is that he's not just taking pictures, he's capturing moments. We are so happy with how his candid photos came out. Moments that might be preserved only by fleeting memories are now able to be relived through his photos. It brings us so much joy when we look back on these special occasions.

Revolution Summer (Corey) did a phenomenal job for our small, rural Maine wedding. They set a high bar among the rest of our vendors in terms of communication, outreach, profession...
alism and care to their craft. Whether it was multiple video chats leading up to the day, going over the timeline and providing input as needed, or taking liberty with the day as things need changing or adjustments, Corey was steadfast in doing the best job for us. Our guests have loved the photos from our gallery, and we were able to keep ones we wanted just for us to be only ours on their portal once it was published. We also personally felt at ease with Corey in terms of personality, interests and general demeanor, which was important to us as our wedding was small and believed the vibe our vendors gave off was as important as the guests we invited.
Overall, we would highly recommend Corey if you are looking for professional photos from a more journalistic lens, with fewer staged shots and more candid pictures that tell the story of your day authentically.

He helped to keep things calm and moving along smoothly during the more formal family photos with 4 sets of parents and our 90 year old grandmas. There were points throughout the day that I didn't even notice he was there, his personality just put everyone at ease allowing for amazing photos.

We were so blessed to have found Corey as our photographer. What first caught our eye was how beautiful his pictures were, and once we saw he worked so well in our budget we booked...
him instantly! And we are so glad we did. We are not the most comfortable in front of a camera, but Corey made it so fun! It felt so casual and not forced! Our engagement session was our first time meeting and he made us feel so comfortable. He asked a very interesting question before the wedding, one I hadn’t expected, but so appreciated. “What or who do you want me to focus on? Because some couples mostly want them, some mostly want their guests and family.” We asked that our photos be mostly us, and us interacting with our guests, and pictures of any children at the wedding. He did exactly that! On the wedding day he moved so effortlessly through a busy room of bridesmaids and myself getting ready, as well as the groomsmen and groom. Corey also made sure that any photos of family, and wedding party done during the cocktail hour moved quickly so that we could enjoy that time too. He captured our ceremony and reception so beautifully. The emotion of our guests as well as us were felt through every photo! We are so grateful to have such beautiful pictures to look back on!

Lastly, a lot of other photographers withold the rights to the full-resolution photos they capture, but we had full access to all that was shot without having to pay extra. That was so important to us! We highly recommend Corey and we were so lucky to have booked him when we did!

The turnaround was incredibly fast - all of our vendors were wowed by how quickly we got the full set of photos - and we loved so many of them we're still choosing which to include in an album. Finally, we really liked his pricing model (straightforward hourly rate), which allowed us to keep him at the reception for longer when we ended up running a bit behind. We couldn't recommend Corey more highly.

Corey at Revolution Summer Photography was literally the perfect photographer for our wedding day! I'm obsessed with his style and his artistic vision, but on top of having a grea...
t philosophy and creating truly beautiful images, he was so easy and fun to work with. We got to know him and get comfortable working with him for our engagement shoot before the wedding, but even after postponing the wedding a whole year due to COVID, it still felt so easy to work with Corey when the day finally came. He was very easy-going but excited to get unique, stunning photos that would really capture the complete story of our day and our relationship. His photos are timeless and I know I'll be staring at them for years to come, but I really can't say enough good about how great he was to work with at every step of the process -- very communicative, on top of what he needed from us even when we were a little lost in the weeds ourselves, and he made everyone feel really comfortable while he documented the goings-on of the day. I couldn't be happier and I can't recommend him highly enough!

I had seen Corey at work at a wedding a couple of years ago and I knew I had to book him for mine when I got engaged. We booked him nearly two years before our date and he was down...
to earth, funny, and so easy to work with. He traveled so far to be there with us on our big day but showed up perfectly on time and ready to get those shots. We also got our pictures back super quickly! We have friends who got married a month before us and still don't have anything back yet, so we're super grateful for that. Not to mention the photos are BEAUTIFUL. Thank you Corey!! You rock!!

We had such a great time working with Corey. We were nervous about being in front of the camera - but Corey was so funny and friendly we felt totally comfortable. We got our engage...
ment photos back and we were floored by the quality of work he provided - and did so in a surprisingly timely manor. We worked with him again for our wedding and our wedding party/ vendors loved having him there! His photos were amazing and truly captured the feeling of the day - I couldn't recommend him more!

We originally hired Corey to photograph our large 200+ person wedding in June 2020, unfortunately the pandemic had other plans. Corey was fantastic and very supportive through the ...
whole postponement process. When we reached out again to see if he was available to photograph our August 2021 micro-wedding (on a Thursday) Corey was more than willing to make it work despite being very busy. We are so thankful! Corey was able to capture the emotions and beauty of our wedding day perfectly and we will cherish these photos for years to come. We loved his photography style - very natural and genuine. He made all of our guests feel comfortable and was a pleasure to have with us throughout the day. We absolutely loved working with Corey and Revolution Summer Photography and would highly recommend him!

You have a daunting number of choices to make when wedding planning. However, choosing Corey is easy. We truly felt like we won the lottery with him as our wedding photographer. ...
It all started with our engagement shoot where Corey made us feel at ease and captured our Save the Date photo that everyone kept telling us should be on a magazine cover. The day of our wedding was a complete whirlwind, literally. Hurricane Elsa rolled into town. The storm didn’t even phase Corey, and he willingly weathered it with us with a flexible attitude. He ventured out in the rain and wind to capture some incredible photos before the wedding. We lucked out and the rain cleared in time for our ceremony/reception and ended with a rainbow and beautiful sunset. Corey dealt with taking photos in every type of weather, went with the flow, and captured every range of emotion. He even got his shoes soaked in a stream in order to get the perfect shot during golden hour! With Corey’s photojournalistic style, we never felt posed. He watched the day unfold and focused on telling the story. Throughout the day, our family and friends kept complimenting him and what a great choice we had made. When our photos were delivered, we were in awe of how he truly captured “us", our genuine emotions, and all the special moments that tell the story of our memorable day. He is a true artist and master of his work! Thank you Corey! Do yourself a favor and stop searching- you have found your wedding photographer!

We hired Corey to do both our engagement shoot and our wedding. His style of photography is exactly what we were looking for.
We just got all of our photos back and they all turn...
ed out incredible. Corey was able to capture our wedding in such a beautiful and unique way that shows all of the emotion from the day. You can tell there is a ton of extra work that he put in to sort through and edit photos and the quality speaks for itself. He really captured our essence in his photos and his work is extremely genuine. I would recommend Corey to anybody and we are grateful that he agreed to capture our big day.
Thank you Corey!!
