Hired as Wedding Photographer

We cannot say enough good things about Esther. She capture so many natural moments filled with life and love. She was compassionate and patient as I tried to get my nerves under control. She was there when we needed her, but at the same time you never knew she was there. Her pictures capture the purest moments and will be cherished forever.

Little Details Matter

Esther was the epitome of ‘lovely’. She went above and beyond on our wedding day. Professional, kind, calm and considerate. She was a joy to be around. She made our wedding day feel so special. She’s captured our wedding over 6 years ago and she’s also taken photos of my family. The experience was the same. She was lovely with our children and even with busy toddlers running around she was able to capture the sweetest photos. Her work speaks for itself.

She’s been there through life’s precious moments and I’m eternally grateful for her.

Highly recommend!
