About

I am a wedding & lifestyle photographer based in Southern California.
I specialize in natural light photography and choose to shoot both film & digital.

Photography to me is about documenting and

presenting pure emotion of life- to convey a visual story true of character and form. I am a photographer and a creative director all in one. I shoot to convey stories and personalities of my subjects in a journalistic and editorial approach.

If my work moves you in a great way, drop me a line.

I would love to chat with you!

Timeless and gorgeous photos

Esther was absolutely fantastic to work on the day of my event and the photos she provided us with were beautiful! Out of all vendors, the photographer is of prime importance for me as I hugely cherish each and every memory. I am so grateful I picked Esther as her photos are not only gorgeous but capture emotion so well. I will always treasure these photos, some brought me to tears. I hope to work with her again can't recommend her enough!

I hired Esther as my wedding photographer after seeing her beautiful portfolio online and meeting up with her for coffee. She was a very nice and laid back person, and me and my fiance felt very comfortable with her. We booked her pretty much on the spot.

I am confident in writing this review now even though I haven't received my wedding photos yet because Esther did an amazing job with our engagement photos. The quality of her photos were breathtaking. If you are looking for a more photo journalist/fine art quality for your wedding photos, then Esther is the photographer for you. I believe she works 50% in film and 50% in digital.

On the wedding day, she was very professional and arrived early to scope out the venue and take some details shots so she could focus on taking photos of the wedding events later. Esther makes you feel relaxed and comfortable as she will help guide you on how to stand and pose for certain photos. But I also loved how she is able to capture candid moments. She was very good at 'staying hidden' that we hardly noticed her at the wedding. I can't wait to get our wedding photos as I'm sure they will be beautiful :)

I can't say enough good things about Esther. She is so sweet and made us feel so comfortable on the day of the wedding. She was easy to communicate with, and we were absolutely blown away when we saw our pictures. I look at them often, and am always so thankful we went with Esther. Choosing a quality photographer was one of the most important aspects of planning the wedding, and I couldn't be happier with our decision. All of our friends and family were blown away as well!

Esther did an BEAUTIFUL job with our engagement photos! She was super cool and laid back. We used the photos for save-the-dates, wedding web site, and pictures for the reception.

Esther's work is absolutely gorgeous and amazing. She works with film and the color on her images are absolutely stunning. I highly, highly recommend her!

Esther was just great - she took time to listen to what we wanted, the look we were hoping for and really made it happen. The photos are all beautiful. I'd highly recommend her!

My husband has this weird thing about taking photos. He doesn't like the attention on him and finds it be awkward. We had a trial session when we first got engaged with a photographer and we both felt a bit uncomfortable and when we saw the images, you could definitely tell that we seemed a bit awkward. However, with Esther, she somehow managed to make us feel super comfortable and we were able to be our silly selves. At our engagement session, we had 2 ginormous bright colored balloons on the Santa Monica Pier and somehow my husband was able to relax despite everyone staring at us. Esther has a warm personality where you have no problem being yourself in front of the camera and she manages to capture photos that truly reflect a couple's personality. I also love that she works with film and the images she captures are gorgeous. I'm beyond happy with our engagement and wedding photos and the only regret I have is not hiring her for extra hours!

I was so happy to find Esther. We are very happy with our photos. Some of the candid shots are just incredible. We didn't take hours of pictures and we probably rushed her a little bit but our photo book still turned out awesome. I don't think you really need 8000 pictures anyways. She was very sweet, not annoying or cheesy and she had some great ideas. The pictures of the details are really lovely as well.

Esther was the best investment and decision we made through out our wedding planning. Esther not only captured our engagement shoot but she also photographed our wedding. Her photography is so beautiful, soft and romantic. She captured such little details that i had no idea existed. I couldn't have had a better experience with Esther, not only were her images beautiful but she went above and beyond to make sure i felt comfortable, by answering every single one of my phone calls, emails and text in speed response. I would and have recommended Esther to many of my friends.
