I recently had a maternity photoshoot and it wasn't a good experience. The shoot before mine ran…read moreover which meant I got a late start with my shoot. It was very rushed and unprofessional. (BRING YOUR OWN MATERNITY CLOTHES IF YOU DECIDE TO DISREGARD THIS REVIEW AND USE THIS SERVICE. ALL OF THE MATERNITY DRESSES ARE LITERALLY USED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. STAINED, OLD DEODORANT AND TORN. THEY LITERALLY STINK OF BODY ODOR) Well anyway, Itook initimate maternity photos that exposed my belly and body that were for me and my household. At the end of the shoot I paid for the services and kindly asked that my photos not be used for promotional purposes or shared online. I am a very private person and was not ready to share my pregnancy with the world or better yet have my bare body online!!!! The photographer appeared to be upset and stated " the pictures belong to me. If you don't want them posted you have to pay for the copy rights" ($200 additional). This was the first time I experienced anything like this. Unfortunately I had to pay $200 for my photos not to be shared on social media. That is wrong. The ONLY reason I didn't get my attorney involved is because my photos would be shared hours and that did not give me enough time to have him served. I paid what you requested for a service. Then had to pay an additional $200 to NOT be exploited or used for promotional purposes. It's rude, disrespectful and distasteful. Do Not Use this photographer.

David was able to fit me in on a Saturday for a profile shoot - which I appreciated a lot, given…read morethe little time I had to get a professional shoot done. David's methods, energy, the studio and post-work are all amazing. He is one of the few photographers who I have met in my life that spends time trying to capture the client's inner energy and tries to see it through his photo lens. The pictures, therefore, comes out amazing and real. I would highly recommend David's craftmanship and style.

I can even talk about how creative he and the team are with photography. However, his online portfolio, instagram, and other social media platforms will do that for him. The real reason that his team is beyond exceptional is because of their enthusiasm. These folks can all take incredible photos and videos. There is no doubt about it. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning and everyone we talked to was blown away by his work. However, we had so much fun working with the whole team. There was not one moment where he and his team were not excited. We loved how enthusiastic they were at all times. It honestly felt like we were being photographed by our friends. Having his team with us on our wedding day and wedding weekend made the event that much more special. They were constantly excited to take photos and never acted like there was a time limit or time restraint for their photography. They went above and beyond for us and did an amazing job of shooting our wedding weekend. Towards the end of the wedding weekend it felt as if they were part of our wedding party. We would not even think twice about recommending this group. They do amazing work, they bring tons of energy, and frankly we could not be more thankful they shot the wedding for us. We look forward to all the success that this group may have ahead.

Thank you very much Pervez! Me and Ryan will always be very grateful to you!

After our initial meeting with Ben, we knew he was the photographer for us. He was warm, honest,…read morefunny, knowledgeable, and helped me consider wedding questions I didn't know to ask! He was very supportive and flexible during multiple COVID-19 postponing and flexible with our micro wedding. During the day, Ben was patient and fun! Our guests couldn't believe how many moments and details he managed to stealthily capture-it seemed like he was in multiple places at once! Most importantly, our pictures were absolutely beautiful. Although our portraits were lovely, Ben really excels at candid photos that capture the joy of the wedding. One thing that really struct me about our wedding photos is how many real smiles Ben captured out of all of us. I can't believe both how many silly and sentimental moments he managed to catch and his style is so cool. I would strongly recommend.

Like every couple planning a wedding, my now-husband and I searched for a photographer that would…read moreprovide us with perfect wedding pictures that we'll proudly display for the rest of our lives. In our search, we came across a number of wedding photographs that were banal, sometimes bordering on cheesy, and we knew we didn't want that. Ben Schaefer's artistic sensibility struck us from the beginning. He describes himself as a photo journalist, and we think that's spot-on. Rather than projecting his personality into poses and ideas, Ben thought carefully about how we'd planned our day and which aspects were most important. And from the early photos we've seen so far, we are pleased with his careful eye and aesthetic sensibility. And to top it off, Ben is a joy to work with. You spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than perhaps any other person (aside from your new spouse), so it's important that you get along. Ben is fun, sensitive, and funny. We could not be happier with our experience and highly recommend Ben for your wedding or any occasion.

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!
