Hi! I’m Jenna, the owner and lead photographer of Jenna Chopak Photography and I am so glad you're here. I currently live in southern NH with my husband, 2 toddlers and pup. I have always had a passion for photography but during the 2020 pandemic and suffering burnout from working the frontline in the ER, I decided to turn my passion into purpose and never look back. I love love, in all shapes and forms. I love capturing the true, authentic moments and freezing them in time. Forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had some trepidation around choosing a photographer for our elopement, mainly because we really wanted any photos taken to reflect the two of us, and our relationship, authentically. We wanted intimate, personal, simple, and classic...and we found all of these things in Tessa. Tessa always put our vision at the forefront of her work, and she worked with us every step of the planning process to make our elopement seamless. She suggested venues, worked with our busy schedules to coordinate planning meetings, and even served as our officiant. Throughout it all, she was the perfect balance of honesty, warmth, and professionalism, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Tessa, for everything. You are amazing!

Lindsey was amazing to work with- I give her a ten plus! My husband and I had a small wedding, we only wanted about an hour- an hour and a half for pictures with our budget. Lindsey was happy to accommodate that, even though she could have easily passed on our September date for another wedding that she could have been paid her full offered services. That did not go unnoticed! I strongly recommend her.

We are as invested in your wedding as you are! My team and I strive to create a comfortable, trusting environment for all of our couples by connecting before we even start shooting, building a friendship where being in front of the camera is fun and easy and your vision is brought to life. In other words, I would like your experience with us to be the least stressful part of your wedding day. There will be posing and direction, but we pride ourselves on our unobtrusive, candid style. After all, you are the stars of the day, but you don’t need to feel the cameras in your face all the time.

Where to start? My husband and I hired Jess and her team for photography and videography after connecting on Instagram. I fell in love with her overall style and ability to authentically capture the day for what it is. Aside from her professional ability, Jess is such a kind person who made us feel completely comfortable being ourselves. We were able to fully take in our big day and felt like we were hanging out with friends who were taking our picture. Along with some inspo shots I provided, allowing Jess to have total creative freedom led to a fun, timeless and classic wedding album we will cherish for years to come.

I’m a Virginia transplant who makes her home north of Boston shooting micro-weddings and elopements. I’m obsessed with the diversity and energy of the city, but also with how easy it is to escape to nature in New England. As an introvert, I definitely need both! I’m married to a handsome fellow creative (of the wordsmithing and storytelling variety) and we love our homebody life together. I’m a photographer because I think people are fascinating. Because memories are fleeting. Because we all need some beauty around us to help us remember how incredibly blessed we are to be alive.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Lorna Stell as our wedding photographer, and I can confidently say that she deserves a solid 5-star review. Lorna's talent for capturing candid moments is truly exceptional. She has an innate ability to seize those precious, unscripted moments that make wedding memories so special. What sets Lorna apart is not just her skill behind the camera but also her wonderful personality. She made us feel incredibly at ease throughout the day, and her friendly demeanor put everyone in the wedding party at ease. Working with her was an absolute joy, and it felt like having a friend alongside us as we celebrated our special day. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who combines exceptional photography skills with a warm and approachable personality, Lorna Stell is the one. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are forever grateful for the stunning memories she has captured for us. We can't recommend her enough!

Unlike many husband and wife photography teams, we were not high school sweethearts. We also didn’t know each other in college, or even live in the same country when we fell in love with photography. Instead, we started as friendly competitors. It took about four years until that competition turned into something more than discussing tricks of the trade. Eventually, we won each other over and joined forces.

We cannot recommend Gaby and Dave enough as wedding photographers! They made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were exceptional. They truly went above and beyond to capture every moment, ensuring that no special memory was missed. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and each one tells the perfect story of our wedding day. We felt completely taken care of, and we couldn’t be happier with how they helped make our day unforgettable. They even made sure to get a couple outside pictures by the water on one of the windiest days. If you’re looking for photographers who are not only talented but also genuinely care about making your experience amazing, Gaby and Dave are the ones to choose!

I’m a photographer for people who don’t resonate with traditional wedding photography. For those who want their weddings to be told like a story that features every bear hug, belly laugh, stolen glance, spilled drink, booty shake, and happy tear. For those who prioritize genuine and unscripted moments over trends and shot lists. For those who don’t want to feel like they’re wasting their day posing for the camera. For those who are inspired by the past and hopeful for the future. For those looking to create a little bit of future nostalgia.

  • Serves Essex, MA

My work is vibrant, moment-driven, and authentic. I love focusing on your connection as a couple, what makes you and your wedding unique, and your interactions with family and friends as you celebrate together. My approach to wedding photography leans toward a documentary or photojournalistic style with a fine art element (I graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in studio art). While I might suggest an area with great lighting to stand in, I will never ask you to “pretend” to do anything. Ever.

We first met Danielle when she was the photographer at my cousin's wedding. It was such a small event it was impossible to not interact with Danielle and just admire her work. We immediately knew that we wanted to work with her. Fast forward to our own wedding planning, Danielle was so incredible in helping us prepare for the day. During our (very much impromptu) engagement photos, Danielle made it easy for us to just be ourselves...something that is not always easy to do when I prefer being behind the camera. Leading up to the big day, she encouraged us to make decisions that would keep us smiling throughout the day, gave us wonderful advice (which I still think about in my daily life), and really just made the entire experience easy. On the wedding day itself, Danielle became nothing short of a superhero. Somehow, she became the ring leader supreme, keeping us all on track with the agenda and maintaining the most friendly and professional composure. I've never seen anyone more effortlessly corral my large family faster while still laughing and having fun. And the pictures, they're perfect! My husband and I spent our 3-month anniversary looking through the full album, spending hours just reliving the day that memory made into a blur. Even our officiant (who is also a friend) stated that they made her cry all over again and how she could hear the laughter through the pictures. I cannot wait until the next time we have the opportunity to see and work with Danielle again.

We had such a great experience having Kendra as our wedding photographer this August. She is so great at using her surroundings to create fun photo opportunities in the moment. In addition to our awesome portraits, we also snuck away during the reception to take some sunset pictures. The editing/lighting was perfect and were some of my favorite photos we took. For both the wedding and our engagement shoot, the outdoor pictures were fantastic and showed how talented she truly is. We are so thankful to Kendra for capturing such special memories. Choosing Cape Ann Weddings as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made!

Jules is the absolute best - it's as simple as that. From the moment we hired her for our wedding, we knew that we had made the right choice. Jules goes above and beyond for her couples - She truly cares about you and is there as a friend through the whole process. Not only is she an exceptionally skilled photographer, she is an incredible human being who gives so much love to the couples that she works with. On the day of our wedding, she brought such a peaceful and upbeat presence and it was beyond amazing to have her with us every step of the way. We trusted her to capture all of our special moments and she exceeded all of our expectations. When looking back at the photos, we are overwhelmed with gratitude.

If you are looking for a engagement/wedding photographer, look no further because Nicole is itttt! She will be there for you through thick and thin. We had to reschedule our engagement session a few times due to the pandemic but Nicole was super accommodating and understanding through it all. She even helped us with our location research and we ended up with some of the most breathtaking golden hour pictures I have ever witnessed like my goshhh. We were also so so grateful to have her during our wedding - an intimate backyard wedding in western MA. She drove all the way from Boston and captured a piece of 2020 for us that we hold so dearly: our eternal love that we shared with all the people we care about. So not only is she going to capture your story, she will be a great friend who will give you all the support you can ask for! And I am so ecstatic to work with her again in the near future!

Weddings are a culmination of love, life, happiness, family history, style, art, and so much more. My love for photography and the importance it plays in remembering cherished moments spans decades. Photographs are one of the only tangible items you receive after your wedding day (aside from the memories) to help you relive this time for the rest of your days. I will hype you up all day long to make sure you are enjoying every aspect of your day with your partner— that’s truly what it’s all about!

We hired Erin to photograph our winter wedding. I was very nervous about photos as most of them were done indoors due to the weather/limited daylight. I was immediately drawn to Erin after seeing her work at other indoor venues. She can make anything look cool and unique. We were so happy with our engagement shoot with her, so come wedding day last week, we were able to relax, knowing she would do her thing and create photos we loved. And we were right! We've only gotten our previews so far (60 photos within a week - incredible! I'm sure I will have more praises to sing when we get our full album.) and we already know we made the right decision to hire Erin as our photographer. There are photos I didn't even know she took, but she captured such special, candid moments between us on our day which is exactly what I wanted, in addition to getting beautiful posed portraits. She particularly knows how to take amazing detail shots. She took off with my accessories when she arrived on wedding day and I remember thinking "oh, I bet she's doing some amazing shots with them." Yup!! She found the most amazing spots in the hotel to photograph these little details that made our day. Obviously, aesthetics are an important part of hiring any photographer, but Erin does more than just create beautiful images. She immediately puts everyone at ease. I worried it would be awkward having someone capture intimate moments between us, but it was not at all with her there. She hyped us up so much and working with her was so easy. Our friends and family told us they felt the same and have already recommended her to other people! She does an amazing job making people feel comfortable and confident and knows how to direct people without coming across as pushy. Long story short: Erin is warm, talented, and just the person you want with you on wedding day.

I believe that there is no picture more beautiful than that of someone in love, so I use my skills to capture specifically that – the emotion, the moment, the glow. I strive to create beautiful timeless photos for you to cherish and share for future generations.

Alisha was extremely personable and professional. She was understanding when things came up and kept me calm when schedule started shifting significantly. She even helped me get in to my dress which is beyond her duties! Would highly recommend this sweet photographer to anyone. She was so kind to all of my bridal party and guests. She was the perfect balance between going with the flow but putting the hammer down on us to stay on task. We all loved her! Her love for Maine gave us confidence that she would capture everything we love about Maine, not just our wedding photos of the people!

My name is Yi and I am a passionate wedding photographer that serves the greater MA & NH areas. When I'm not sipping on a latte that my lovely wife makes me in the morning, you can usually find me hanging out with my 3 favorite kids in the world. I’m a family man who dedicates majority of my time to three beautiful child and my lovely wife. I’m a basketball player. I don’t function well without a cup of latte. I’m a photographer who eats, sleeps and dreams about creating craft. I’m the guy for those of you who thinks you are awkward in front of camera. I am Yi.

Yi presents incredible work and imaging when it comes to photo shoots. His artistry creates beauty in capturing special moments and his professionalism and ease to work with make him the ideal vendor. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know.

I am a self proclaimed romantic at heart, always have been. After 19 years of marriage, I am a believer in true love! Photographing the special day for couples of all ages and walks of life, is a real joy and I get a charge of excitement for each gig. Anyone that has met me knows that I am an extroverted person who is always on the move; always talking and thinking; and often engaging with others. I make everyone feel at ease. As a wedding photographer I leverage my experience as a pro along with my personality.

Jim has truly become such a great friend in this process. The biggest thing you want to feel on your wedding day is comfort and support. Jim goes out of his way to make this happen. We first met and worked with Jim for our engagement photos. We had so much fun! Jim wasn't afraid of getting in the sand and water to get our pictures in the ocean. When our wedding was postponed, Jim was there to shoot our elopement (and keep the secret)! After waiting for eight months, we finally had our wedding. Even though it was raining, Jim captured every moment of our amazing day. We will be working with Jim for all of our photography needs in the future. Thank you, Jim!
