We recently did an engagement shoot with Rogier and it was absolutely amazing! We got the photos back very quickly and are over the moon about them. He takes amazing pictures and the best part was how easy it was! He coached us through the whole shoot, giving recommendations and making the whole experience very smooth.

I would highly recommend Eager Eye Photography! On short notice, I inquired about family photos while we were going to be in the area on vacation. Not only was Rogier extremely prompt in his reply, but he graciously fit us into his schedule! The appointed day ended up rainy and Rogier seamlessly moved our session to a different day that worked for all of us. He is extremely professional, friendly, prompt with communication and made us all feel at ease during the shoot! He chose two different beautiful locations which made it easy for us as visitors. The turnaround time for the photos was fast and we are very pleased with them! Our family was together from all over the country and we will cherish these photos forever. Thank you Rogier! More...

We loved taking our family pictures with Rogier. He was extremely professional and made us feel comfortable throughout our time. He was able to joke around with us and make sure that we had a great time which really showed through the pictures he sent us. Turnaround time was very fast too! I wouldn't hesitate to use Eager Eye Photography again in the future. More...

Starting with the initial inquiry all the way through receiving the photos, Rogier was simply amazing. Rogier shot my proposal to my now fiancé atop Cadillac Mountain and I cannot say enough good things about him or his work. Rogier was extremely accommodating with the secretive plan to capture this special moment and where photos would be taken. We moved from off of Cadillac Mountain and down to Sand Beach (where Rogier brought lighting equipment and multiple cameras) for additional photos. The absolute best part of working with Rogier was how quickly he turned around the photos. Initially he told us that they would be ready for viewing in a couple of weeks (which we were completely fine with). Then, that SAME NIGHT Rogier texted me and alerted me that he had worked to complete our photos! Having this photos so quickly after the proposal made announcing our engagement all the more special. I cannot recommend Rogier enough and would certainly hire him for any event requiring photography. Thank you again Rogier!!! More...

Rogier was a dream to work with! Never having been to Maine, we were unsure of where our session should take place. He not only coordinated the perfect locations for our family photo shoot, he managed to get 6 adults and 4 small children (7 months - 8 years) engaged with the camera in a relaxed and photogenic manner, capturing special moments with his superb talent! I highly recommend Rogier and Eager Eye Photography! More...

Rogier with Eager Eye Photography came highly recommended to me from the Bar Harbor Inn. I could not be happier with him. First, he is one of the most reasonably priced photographers in the area . He was also the only photographer I contacted out of around ten that was flexible and willing to only come for a few hours and take pictures during the ceremony. Most importantly, he was extremely fun to work with, took absolutely STUNNING pictures and made them available the next day. He also offered more pictures than specified in our contract. I would absolutely recommend Rogier to anyone. Far exceeded my high expectations. And when I say stunning pictures I mean it. They truly took my breath away. I also wanted to remake that it was a really windy that day, yet not a single picture had everyones hair blowing around in their faces. More...

We hired Rogier and second shooter Daryn to photograph our pre-wedding bowling party and wedding day at Point Lookout in Northport, ME. It was a destination wedding for us.
These guys were consummate professionals. Rogier knew just the questions to ask us before the event. He even asked us to send him casual pictures of ourselves that we like, to get a sense of "us". He was available to talk on the phone when we needed to talk, and he drove hours to meet us when we were up in Maine to scope things out before the wedding. He always responded promptly.
Rogier was well prepared to shoot. He was early to our bowling night and did all he could to get the best shots- he'd already set up flashes by the time we arrived (and we were early). On wedding day he and Daryn again went the extra mile to get the best shots. Daryn scrambled over rocks to get some amazing shots of us and Rogier figured out just the right spots to shoot as the sun was very quickly setting and the light was changing. They both worked hard and were extremely committed throughout the event.
Of course the most important measure is the pictures we got. They're incredible. The quality of shots is fantastic. Compared to pictures guests shot, and it's remarkable the contrast. Rogier's photos are crystal clear, uncluttered, have amazing color and contrast. They are well framed. These pictures will last us a lifetime and always bring us happiness. We're very glad we picked Rogier. Thanks to Eager Eye we have beautiful photos that captured the entire event- guests, the place, the vibe and us.

We are delighted with Eager Eye. Getting to know Rogier leading up to the wedding was fantastic. He was warm and responsive to all our inquiries (and he gave us much grace when we weren't always totally responsive ourselves). His work spoke for itself, but his accompanying professionalism and personality really made him our #1 choice. Furthermore, the FAQ that Rogier gave us detailed everything we could expect from working with him, and it was helpful to the point of answering questions I didn’t even know I had. It was a huge stress-relief to know he’d have us covered on our wedding day. It is unrepeatable, afterall.

On the day of the wedding we had a great experience with Rogier and his assistant photographer. They were fun to work with and in no time we were totally at ease behind the camera. At the reception they were wonderful (albeit busy!) wedding guests. We have fond memories of Rogier getting up close and personal with the contra dance portion of our reception.

We got our photos earlier than expected and we're still smiling with the collection Rogier made for us -- even moreso because he went above and beyond in quantity. They’re vivid and full of life. They didn’t miss a beat -- all the small details are there, things we’d actually forgotten until we were given the pictures, things we are so thankful were captured. The formals in particular are strikingly beautiful, the flash making them so exuberant and alive.These pictures are now a true family treasure. We are so thankful to have found a photographer of this level in downeast Maine!

Rogier photographed our wedding in Maine. Despite crossing my fingers for sunny skies, the afternoon was dreary and rainy. However, Rogier still managed to make the outdoor photos look full of life and dramatic beauty. For the indoor photos in the evening, we asked him to take pictures against a window, which created an extra challenge to avoid reflections on the glass. Yet again, Rogier worked magic. Our photos came out looking wonderful and warm. He even got my nieces to smile! Rogier is a true artist. More...

Working with Rogier has been a real pleasure from the first day we contacted him.

He's punctual, flexible, and as we've learnt from other vendors at our wedding is well-known in Bar Harbor for his skills. We were particularly drawn to him for two reasons. First, while looking very professional and well-composed, his photos are not excessively edited, and retain a natural look and feel to them. Second, being a Maine resident he knows the Acadia National Park area in and out and was able to offer some very valuable suggestions.

Rogier stayed true to his motto: underpromise and overdeliver. While his contract terms are more than reasonable and standard for his industry, he goes above and beyond to deliver photographs ahead of schedule, and included significantly more shots that we've agreed to. The amazing part - he delivered pictures for our smaller wedding in less than 12 hours after completing the photo shoot! Waking up to an email with a link to our wedding pictures gallery the next morning was such an incredible gift.

Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a photographer in the area.

Rogier and Jenn did an amazing job capturing our wedding in Southwest Harbor, ME. From our very first emails/phone calls, Rogier was courteous, professional, and genuinely interested in knowing us. The whole process was easy and smooth. On the day of the event, Rogier and Jenn did an absolute marvelous job. They were able to capture every detail without us or our guests, even noticing them. We love all the pictures they produced and have a hard time deciding which ones we want framed, since many are so stunning. Rogier also did an impressive job processing all the pictures, doing so with a record turn around time.

We could not be happier with their work. We warmly recommend them for your event.

Leading up to the shoot, Rogier was receptive to questions and responded to email queries within 24 hours (usually much faster!). When he arrived to my parent's house, Rogier took the time to explore the property and select a few areas that would serve as different backdrops and then went out of his way to make us all feel comfortable (we aren't ones who seek out the camera). We are thrilled with the results and are still deciding which photographs we would like to order from the digital files that we were sent and could download. It's a great system that suits our family better than not getting the digital files and only being able to order prints. Thank you, Rogier! Five stars all around. More...

I had yet to meet the man I would marry but I knew that Rogier would be the one documenting my special day. Fast forward four years. My fiancé and I decided that Bar Harbor would be the perfect host for our wedding. Rogier was the first vendor we contacted once the date and venue were confirmed. Rogier was every bit of what I had remembered.

Ten years ago Rogier van Bakel (Eager Eye Photography) photographed our wedding. We love the pictures he took, literally enjoying them every day on a digital frame and printed in a gorgeous album on our coffee table and felt we should thank him again with a review.

When we hear a friend is getting married, after congratulating them, the first thing we advise them to do is to book Rogier as their photographer!

Before our wedding we looked at the websites of a couple of dozen Maine photographers and choose Rogier based on his portfolio and a conversation we had with him on the phone. We were very lucky, he was easy to have at our small wedding and we love his pictures! Having worked for years as a professional photographer (and being a bit of a perfectionist) I had very high expectations. Rogier was wonderful to work with, met with Jen and I, listened to what we wanted and did a spectacular job of capturing the day. Rogier did a fabulous job of editing the images, and presented us with the final pictures before we had time to leave for our honeymoon! If you need a great photographer Rogier van Bakel is an outstanding choice!

Rogier did a wonderful job photographing our wedding! We were planning a Maine wedding from Ohio so we chose vendors based on what we found online. We are so happy that we found Eager Eye Photography! A few days before the wedding Rogier contacted me to discuss details and specific plans so that I felt comfortable and knew what to expect from him on the big day. We got married on a Thursday and were leaving Maine on the following Saturday. Amazingly, Rogier was able to present his work to us on Friday! The photos are stunning and he was able to capture so many moments. It is evident that he loves and is excited about his profession. This joy shows in his beautiful work! More...
