For a wedding photographer in Chicago, we can't recommend Esenam Photography any more highly. He was extremely flexible working with us as our plans changed, he was extremely well-prepared and the photos turned out great. When we asked about getting a canvas for people to sign he took care of it for us and saved us the work of trying to find a vendor that would make what we were looking for. For what you pay, I don't think you could find anyone better.

I don’t know what was better: our wedding day or Esenam Photography! Not only was he a blast to work with, but our photographs were breathtaking! 10 out of 10 would recommend! We continue to scroll through the photos and fall inlove with them all over again! I would hire him 100x over.

Aside from marrying my best friend, Esenam was the best decision I've ever made.

As a creative person, photography was the most important element of our day for me. I spent countless hours researching photographers to find the perfect fit. I actually found Esenam through an Instagram hashtag rabbit hole (I was determined to find the perfect photographer) and fell in love with his work. I connected with him and shared my vision and he absolutely delivered on it (frankly, better than I could have imagined).

Our wedding was not a simple one. We had pictures in the city, a fusion wedding with two ceremonies in the suburbs - it was a long day. Even with knowing how long the day would be, Esenam and Lindsay made it a point to come early and stay late to ensure we got the best shots.

Truthfully, almost everything that could have gone wrong on our day did. Despite this, Esenam stayed by our side making everyone feel comfortable and happy. His presence alone is worth the investment.

When we got our pictures back, we were able to see our wedding as the joyous occasion it was rather than the series of mishaps we experienced. Esenam's ability to capture emotion is unparalleled. He is able to organically shoot incredible images that elicit emotions and make the ordinary extraordinary. His natural editing style makes images beautifully enhanced without feeling over-edited. Simply put, he is one of a kind.

Esenam is without a doubt the best wedding photographer out there (trust me, the amount of research I did is embarrassing). But you don't have to take it from me, because everyone who saw our pictures went out of their way to tell us they were the most beautiful pictures they had ever seen. Not only has Esenam earned his spot as our photographer for life, but he has become a lifelong friend. Trust me, you'll want Esenam by your side on the most important day of your life. He is the best decision you'll ever make, aside from marrying your best friend.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Esenam for our wedding and all of the related events. For those of you considering Esenam for a private session or wedding photography.....he is worth every single penny. He was very accommodating to our schedule, and we found him very easy to work with on our big day. We felt he went above and beyond our expectations.

Great passion for photos. Photos were great. Service was great. Really knows how to capture the special moments for Indian weddings

If you are looking for a photographer for your special event, you can stop looking. We booked Esenam for our June wedding after a recommendation from another bride. After looking through his website and gawking at his beautiful photos that captured the moment not just the people in it - I knew he was who I wanted to capture our wedding day. Thankfully he was available! We had so much fun the day of the wedding. I never felt awkward - he was never intrusive. He even came early to introduce himself and get a few extra shots of my dress. It was an absolute dream working with him and I almost wish I could do it all again just for the experience! Esenam was extremely professional and organized throughout the whole process - booking to after the wedding - just going above and beyond. The best part was seeing our preview - the moments he captured took my breath away. Everyone complimented us on how beautiful the photos were. I am so grateful we found Esenam - seriously if you are looking for a wedding photographer or any special events photographer - you can stop looking!

Breathtaking. Stunning. Flawless. Like a postcard. Just a few of the compliments we've received on our wedding and engagement photos.

Hiring Esenam was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. Hiring our videographer (Eli at Wedding Masterpiece Films) was a pretty close second, but Esenam referred us to Eli, so that gives Esenam the edge :)

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Esenam. I spent months - MONTHS - looking for a wedding photographer. I cringe when I think about how many photos of strangers on their wedding days I looked at during my search. I tried to limit my search to photographers within the amount we'd budgeted for, but I ended up expanding it, which is when I stumbled across Esenam. I'm so grateful I did.

Not only is Esenam's work product phenomenal, but he is delightful to work with and to be around. I remember reading a review where one bride said that her guests complimented her on how fabulous Esenam was, and I thought, "Yeah, right. What guest comments on the photographer?" Man, was I wrong! We've received so, so, soooo many compliments from our guests on Esenam and his lovely wife, Lindsey. And they're all truly deserved.

I understand that Esenam is a bit more expensive than, say, George Street Photography, but you absolutely get what you pay for. Your wedding images, photos and videos alike, are truly an investment, and when it's all said and done, they and your memories are all that you have left of the day that you spent so much time and effort planning. And memories fade. It's worth reworking your budget to hire a top-notch photographer - the investment will pay off.

I'd hire Esenam again in a heartbeat. At this point, he feels like family. Sounds corny, but it's so true. We just loved him. And we love our engagement and wedding photographs more than we ever thought possible.

Big kudos and huge thanks to Esenam and Lindsey for capturing all of the love, happiness, and magic of our wedding day.

Esenam was amazing! I had him for my wedding in August and he did a beautiful job capturing pictures. They all turned out beautifully, Definitely recommend hiring him for any event :)

We felt very comfortable with Lindsay's calm and pleasant personality. She quickly became part of the event and instinctively captured personalities on the images she produced. They were a nice balance of formal and lifestye depictions - my daughter and her siblings enjoyed them immensely.
Can't wait to share with family and friends. They were delivered to us within a month which we appreciated. Esenam Photography is responsive, reliable and resourceful. Definitely, a thumbs up!

Esenam was our engagement/ wedding photographer and we could not have asked for a better photographer.
Esenam is dedicated, reliable and everything you can ask for.
He is truly passionate is his job and his work. During our engagement session, my husband and I were both tired of the heat and the bugs after several hours of shooting, but Esenam was rolling up his sleeves and getting on the ground to get the best shot. He would help us relax and make us laugh in order for the photos to appear as natural as possible.
The final work came sooner than expected and we were so happy with the outcome.
I love taking photos and consider myself picky about wedding photos style. After doing research over 30+ Chicago wedding photographers, we were so happy that we signed with Esenam. He’s seriously SO easy to work with!
You won’t go wrong with this one!
