Betsy and Justin are truly the most wonderful couple and such a joy to work with. Starting with our engagement photos, we had a great time building a relationship with them. They made us so comfortable and we had so much fun shooting with them! Not to mention that their photographs are stunning...they make us look incredible. I’m still in awe over our engagement photos and the first wedding photos we’ve received! They are thoughtful, fun and talented and worth every cent we spent to have them document the best day of our lives. We love Betsy and Justin and cannot recommend them enough!

Hands down THE MOST AMAZING photographer team out there! Having Betsy and Justin photograph our big day was definitely the best decision we made. They exceeded all expectations and I would recommend them over and over again. They are such fun loving people and made everything so easy! Our family and bridal party loved them! They were incredibly organized and professional and also worked so well with the little children in our bridal party. If you are looking for a wedding/engagement photographer, look no further and BOOK THEM NOW! We are so happy with the experience and will cherish our beautiful photos for years to come! Definitely the best vendors we booked for our wedding! Thank you again for everything, Betsy and Justin!

Hiring Betsy and Justin was one of the first, easiest, and best decisions we made for our wedding. They were supportive and fun through the whole process leading up to the big day and made the day seem seamless. Their energy is both infections and fun and calming, which is what we wanted from photographers. 10 out of 10 would choose them again!

From the day I contacted Betsy & Justin inquiring about their photography services, I received the highest level of service and attention. I knew after viewing all of their amazing work, they were the photographers I just had to have for our wedding! Betsy was always very quick to get back to me and follow up with me leading up to our wedding day and left me feeling calm and comfortable with having them as our photographers. I had a feeling that we were in very good hands, and now that we have worked with them, there aren't enough words to describe how true that statement is. On our wedding day, Betsy & Justin greeted us with a friendly, fun, and most importantly genuine attitude. They were so easy to work with and made sure that all of our needs were being met. They were super flexible & fun and listened to our ideas we had and gave us their professional experience/input to ensure we were getting all the pictures we wanted. They have such a creative vision and from what I could tell when previewing the pictures on their cameras, that the final product is going to be beautiful! I have been recommending them to all my friends and would 100% use them again in the future. Thanks for capturing our day Betsy & Justin!

Betsy and Justin are literally the dream team of wedding photography. They captured my vision for our engagement photos perfectly, and went above and beyond for our wedding photos. The energy they give off is so contagious, and we felt so comfortable & ourselves in front of the camera because of them. My bridal party and guests were also super obsessed with them! I would recommend Essence Photography to literally anyone who is getting married. They truly are passionate about capturing each couple's unique love story. Thank you so much Betsy & Justin! You guys rocked!!

Essence Photography is a highly talented duo team. They are a married couple that complement and complete each other in all of their skills and personality traits. They created a fun atmosphere that made the whole wedding party at ease. We were able to get all the pictures on my wish list and far more! Everyone felt peaceful and happy which made the pictures that much more amazing! We had 20 children involved in the wedding party and this couple were able to capture all of them smiling at once! We couldn't be happier with our choice of a photographer. Essence Photography is professional in the whole process and is worth every penny!

Betsy and Justin were a dream come true! They have a gift when it comes to capturing your story. My now husband and I had the pleasure of working with them for our engagement and wedding day. They are both incredibly organized, detailed and so much fun! Without the proposed timeline of our wedding day Betsy sent, I probably would have been a hot ball of stress all day. They both go above and beyond to ensure that you're enjoying your special day and will do everything in their power to help make it perfect. We are incredibly grateful to Betsy and Justin for giving us the greatest gift we could have hoped for, a lifetime of beautiful memories. Thank you Essence Photography!

Also, literally everyone at our wedding we're so impressed by them. So just do yourself a favor and book them!

Betsy and Justin are the most incredible photographers! They have such fun and positive energy and they were always there whenever we needed advice. They are exactly the type of people you want at your wedding. They are very supportive and always considerate of your needs on your big day. They roll with changes and provide great suggestions on how to capture the best moments. My husband and I were also happy that we did our engagement session with Betsy and Justin because it made us feel comfortable with them before the big day. Betsy was also a huge part of helping us figure out our day-of timeline, which made every detail fall into place. I have been recommending them to everyone I know and we can't wait to have them capture more special moments in the future. Thank you so much, Betsy and Justin!!

It's hard to describe how amazing these two are. It's not just how great everyone looks in the photos, it's about how they captured the important moments with so much authenticity. They captured how much fun we all had, how amazing my wife looks and actually got our dog to look at the camera. Justin helped me put on my cufflinks because I had them on backward. Betsy took the time to capture a moment between my wife and her father when they bumped into each other on the way out of the hotel. We had a less than ideal spot picked out for our first look, but they still got the lighting perfect.
Working with them is comfortable, professional and highly, highly recommended. Thanks guys!

PICK THEM! Seriously it was like having a day of coordinator, an additional bridesmaid/groomsmen working with Betsy and Justin. They are timely, kind, funny/personal and brilliantly skilled. One of the best parts of my wedding was having them both there. They drove to Incline Village at Lake Tahoe to photograph my wedding. You won't be disappointed.
