THE ESSLINGERS
PORTFOLIO
The photos you dream of and the moments you never even knew to ask for.
Our style is light, warm and true to life, photographed on both film and digital with a romantic feel that will still look beautiful years from now. We love gorgeous portraits just as much as the candid moments happening around you, so your gallery has the photos you want to frame in your home alongside all the smiles, tears and little moments you didn't even know we caught.
The Conservatory at Blackberry Ridge was a dream to photograph, with European-inspired architecture, beautiful grounds and so many incredible places for portraits. Livia & Matthew celebrated the night away with all of their favorite people.
Abigail & Kerrigan wanted their Boone Hall wedding to have that cozy, beautiful Nancy Meyers feel, with soft blush tones, lots of greenery and the gardens surrounding them.
Harvard grads Emma & Aidan brought East Coast style to the West Coast for their wedding at the iconic Bel Air Bay Club, celebrating with an ocean view, beautiful florals and the Pacific right behind them.
Featured in Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, Lily & Philip celebrated at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel with over-the-top blush and white florals, beginning the day with a traditional tea ceremony before their oceanfront wedding.
Aubree and Matthew’s wedding felt exactly like them: beautiful, relaxed, and full of the people they love. From getting ready at the Santa Monica Proper to celebrating late into the night, they made the whole day their own.
From the very beginning, Amy & Zach wanted their wedding to feel like them, and they found so many fun ways to make that happen. We loved being at all the iconic Charleston locations they chose to celebrate at!
"THEY CAPTURED ANGLES and MOMENTS WE NEVER SAW ON THE ACTUAL DAY.
It let us relive our wedding through the eyes of our guests, which is something you can’t put a price on.
— Alexx & Tyler, 2025 Couple
