Gorgeous Photos, Amazing People

Autumn and Jendry were incredible to work with from start to finish. From our engagement session to the wedding day, they were kind, professional, and so easy to be around. We usually feel a little awkward in front of the camera, but their gentle guidance and positive energy made us feel completely at ease.

They were great communicators leading up to the big day, which made everything feel smooth and low-stress. The photos are absolutely stunning, and we were blown away by how quickly we got them back. Our guests are still talking about the previews they saw during the reception.

We can’t recommend Autumn and Jendry enough. They truly captured the spirit of our day, and we’re so grateful to them.

So personable, So relaxed, So much fun to work with!

Autumn and Jendry did our engagement photos, and will be shooting our wedding this May. They are so personable and made us feel super relaxed during our engagement shoot even though we were both super nervous. They are super responsive in communications and are willing to work with your schedule to make sure you get the pictures of your dreams!! They are great at telling you exactly how to stand or pose because they know what will look good in photos. SO happy I decided to hire Essential Film and Photography and cant wait for my wedding day with them capturing the most special moments!!

Amazing experience! So good you'll go back to them for more!!

Can't say enough good things about Jendry and Autumn. They make a great team. Everything about working with them was effortless. They made me feel relaxed and made it fun. Very responsive, professional, warm, and talented. Their prices can not be beat and the quality is top notch. They captured the most beautiful photos of our special day. The turn around time to receive our images was very prompt as well. We loved them so much we have since used them for maternity and newborn shoot and soon to be 1st birthday shoot.

Cute couple that wants to exceed expectations

Jendry and Autumn just shot my wedding July 13th, 2019 and did amazing! They were so great to work with. They’ve very professional and supportive. They had a lot of great shots in mind and even when I suggested some shots I had in mind- they wanted to make sure those were incorporated. My husband and I are very pleased with the pictures we’ve seen so far and can’t wait for the rest to come back! We know they’re working diligently and we couldn’t be happier! They event sent us some wedding photos on our wedding night so we could post them or share them with friends and family right away if we chose to do so. Loved them!! Would totally recommend!

Amazing all around!

The quality speaks for itself! The photos and video we received exceedingly our expectations. Autumn and Jendry's concept of customer service is nothing short of exceptional, as they both go over and beyond to ensure client happiness, not just satisfaction. The services and products received were so great, we booked them for more shoots and are planning to book them for our anniversary shoot!

Best experience

From the begin to the very end my experience with Essential films & photography was amazing. The level of comfortability I felt with them was great and how professional they were during both my wedding and engagement pictures . I have taken pictures before with other photography but never have my images come out the way they did with Essential films & photography , it was like something off of a fairy tale . They captured every moment every smile and laugh perfectly. I must say that for what they charged me , I got lucky because with other photographers I spent a large amount of money for images that weren’t so great . If your looking for someone who can capture moments well who aren't so pricy and are professionals I would go with Essential films & photography. I know moving forward I will continue to book them for all my life events .
