Sharon's Studio of Gloucester - Cape Ann Wedding

Sharon's Studio of Gloucester is a specialist wedding photographer rooted in Cape Ann — led by owner and main photographer Kendra Dott. With deep family ties to photography (the storefront Double Exposure opened in 1976) and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Massachusetts College of Art, Kendra brings seasoned artistic judgment and a practiced eye to every wedding she photographs. For more than two decades she has been making couples happy by capturing the moments that matter — the quiet glances, the unscripted laughter, and the formal portraits you'll reach for again and again. Why couples choose Sharon's Studio comes down to approach and personality. Kendra blends a relaxed, documentary sensibility with the ability to step in decisively when needed. She works like a ninja — out of sight to capture authentic, candid scenes — but she’ll also “drop the hammer” during formals to move things along and get everyone back to celebrating. That balance keeps the day feeling natural while still delivering beautiful, dynamic wedding photos. Location is part of the story here. Whether your ceremony takes place on a coastal shoreline, a woodsy retreat, a sprawling estate or even a tall ship, Kendra has shot across Cape Ann and beyond and knows how to use local light and landscape to your advantage. Engagement sessions are tailored to your vibe — beach, farm, park or city street — to create images that reflect who you are together and to ease you into being comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day. Working with Sharon's Studio is designed to feel collaborative and calm. Kendra takes time to understand your priorities, offer straightforward planning advice, and keep the timeline moving so you can get to the party. She prides herself on professional, timely editing and on delivering a thoughtful gallery that tells the story of your day. If you want a Gloucester wedding photographer who combines artistic training, family-honed experience, and a warm, get-it-done attitude, Sharon's Studio is built for that. From engagement shoots to bridal portraits and full wedding-day coverage, Kendra captures the coastal charm and human moments that make your celebration unforgettable.
