PHOTOS WORTH REMEMBERING for a MARRIAGE WORTH CELEBRATING
You put so much into creating a wedding that feels like you, and we want you to actually get to enjoy it! We don't want you to have to choose between the photos you dreamed about and the moments you never even knew to ask for. We'll walk you through every step so you feel incredible in your portraits, and then let you enjoy your day with your favorite people while we catch all the little moments happening around you.

FILM & DIGITAL
We love getting to know the two of you during your engagement session, and then getting to know all the people you love as the wedding weekend unfolds. From welcome parties to the wedding day itself, we photograph it all on film and digital so you can be fully there for it and still get to see all the little moments you missed.
Behind the Camera
Luke & Kayla
We’re best friends, we love Jesus, and we’re obsessed with our four boys and dreamy light. We love photographing weddings because marriage has been one of the greatest gifts in our own lives. Getting to celebrate alongside you and preserve a little piece of your story is something we’ll never take for granted.
“THEY DIDN'T just CAPTURE THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS...
they also captured the tiny, unforgettable ones with our friends and families that we’ll cherish forever.”
— Victoria & Daniel, 2025 Couple

The ESSLINGER WEDDING EXPERIENCE
We love getting to know you and understanding your story so that we come to the wedding day ready to document the moments that matter to you two. We're here to help with timeline planning and all the details along the way, so that you can relax and enjoy your best day ever!
"WE NOT ONLY love THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES,
but from the first moment we met them, we loved them as people."
