Essence Photo & Video

We had a great experience with Essence Photo & Video for our wedding last month. We ended up using their photography, videography, DJ, and photo booth services.

Peggy and Ryan were our photographers and they were such an amazing duo. They both knew what they were doing and made sure we had a fun time while we were at it! Peggy also did our engagement photo shoot and she has been a joy to work with since day one! We haven't received the wedding day gallery as of yet, but the few sneak peaks we have seen are exactly what we were envisioning for our wedding photos.

Clint was our DJ/MC. He's the best! We gave some suggestions and requests, but mostly tried to give him the freedom to create the playlist and vibe. And he nailed it! We received so many compliments about the music and how smooth Clint's MCing was. Definitely was a great time because of Clint!

The overall process of planning and communicating with Essence was great! There are a couple communication portals you have to keep track of (and my email did not always notify me when there was a response), but our questions were always answered in a timely manner.

We used Essence for both our photography and DJ. They were a great service and I'd highly recommend them! Our photographer Peggy was awesome to work with. She made our family photos rub smoothly, and really listened to us to make sure we got the type of photos we wanted (or didn't want.) The photos were beautiful and the turnaround time was quick! Pur dj was great. We gave him a few specific songs and some guidelines, but he filled in the rest. We had some unusual requests he was able to find and he read the room to see what the crow responded to. He kept the party going! The sound system was perfect for our space: clear, but not overwhelmingly loud. We also used their photo booth. The attendant had a lot of props, and kept the photo booth running smoothly. We had our photos quickly too! All around a great business for your wedding services.
