Esenam Photography

oduct! He captured every laugh and tear, every beautiful candid and intimate moment of our wedding day so perfectly that our friends and family are STILL talking about our photos!! Not only is he clearly passionate about his work, but he is super friendly, patient, and always professional. We had a small wedding and he fit right in with our closest family and friends, but he always put my groom and I FIRST. He even managed to calm everyone's nerves when our officiant was running 45 minutes late! Working with Esenam is one of the best decisions we made. We'll cherish our amazing photos FOREVER! Thank you Esenam!!

athan & I were planning our wedding from out of state, and Esenam was very timely and worked with our BUSY schedule (we're both residents). My husband and I met with Esenam and his family for lunch to talk about the wedding/contract. Everyone loved our engagement pictures and we can't wait to see the finished wedding pictures. Esenam has an artistic eye and beautifully captures each moment. Picking Esenam to capture the memories of our wedding day is probably one of the best decisions we made. I would highly recommend Esenam to anyone who wants BEAUTIFUL wedding pictures. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Esenam!

im in action and booked him! Coming from out of town we'd only met him once before, but both Esenam and Lindsay made us feel comfortable and gave us the best direction. We are so happy with the memories they captured for us!

his website and gawking at his beautiful photos that captured the moment not just the people in it - I knew he was who I wanted to capture our wedding day. Thankfully he was available! We had so much fun the day of the wedding. I never felt awkward - he was never intrusive. He even came early to introduce himself and get a few extra shots of the getting ready process. It was an absolute dream working with him and I almost wish I could do it all again just for the experience! Esenam was extremely professional and organized throughout the whole process - booking to after the wedding - just going above and beyond. The best part was seeing our preview - the moments he captured took my breath away. Everyone complimented us on how beautiful the photos were. I am so grateful we found Esenam - seriously if you are looking for a wedding photographer or any special events photographer - you can stop looking!

so provide us those special moments that can't be captured with posed photos. Esenam was wonderful! He worked so well with our wedding party and guests, as well as make the day feel so natural and fun! He also took the time to get to know us to make sure that he was able to capture the moments that were important to us. Our wedding day was perfect and now we have beautiful photos to relive the day!

wedding in the Chicago suburbs and they did not disappoint at all! Esenam captured exactly everything that I had hoped to get! With enthusiasm, professionalism, and an artistic eye he was able to deliver so many beautiful images one after another! As a professional photographer myself, I am more than thrilled with my choice of wedding photographers and would highly recommend Esenam over and over again! Thank you Esenam! I will cherish these photos always!!!!

s because she wasn't giving us any direction. I don't think she smiled once. Enough of that!! I recently stood up in my friends wedding. Before the night even ended,I told my friend how wonderful the photographer was! I told her I wish I had heard about Esenam photography to use at my wedding! I highly recommend him!! He was very professional, and had a great personality! Weddings can be stressful of course, but he made the photo sessions so much fun! I saw some pictures already that were posted, just beautiful!! If I have any advice, don't waste your time looking for a photographer, Esenam Photography will be the best choice you will ever make!

ges, and decided that none of them was as good as the photographer who had done my daughter's wedding two years earlier. So I shared all the research I had done with her and told her I was adding Esenam onto her list to consider. She made a very wise choice in going with Esenam. His attention to detail, his fabulous candid pictures, his reasonable price for services delivered, his living up to and beyond commitments in the contract..... Consider that we used him for the two major events (daughter's and son's wedding). I rarely do on line reviews, but this guy is so great that I felt I needed to share with those of you considering hiring him. Do It!

e in the wedding planning process. Hiring our videographer (Eli at Wedding Masterpiece Films) was a pretty close second, but Esenam referred us to Eli, so that gives Esenam the edge :) I cannot say enough wonderful things about Esenam. I spent months - MONTHS - looking for a wedding photographer. I cringe when I think about how many photos of strangers on their wedding days I looked at during my search. I tried to limit my search to photographers within the amount we'd budgeted for, but I ended up expanding it, which is when I stumbled across Esenam. I'm so grateful I did. Not only is Esenam's work product phenomenal, but he is delightful to work with and to be around. I remember reading a review where one bride said that her guests complimented her on how fabulous Esenam was, and I thought, "Yeah, right. What guest comments on the photographer?" Man, was I wrong! We've received so, so, soooo many compliments from our guests on Esenam and his lovely wife, Lindsey. And they're all truly deserved. I understand that Esenam is a bit more expensive than, say, George Street Photography, but you absolutely get what you pay for. Your wedding images, photos and videos alike, are truly an investment, and when it's all said and done, they and your memories are all that you have left of the day that you spent so much time and effort planning. And memories fade. It's worth reworking your budget to hire a top-notch photographer - the investment will pay off. I'd hire Esenam again in a heartbeat. At this point, he feels like family. Sounds corny, but it's so true. We just loved him. And we love our engagement and wedding photographs more than we ever thought possible. Big kudos and huge thanks to Esenam and Lindsey for capturing all of the love, happiness, and magic of our wedding day.

shared many beautiful weddings as well as engagements that really had an edge up on the others we had met with. During our engagement shoot he was patient with us getting used to the camera and before long we were just walking and acting naturally, unaware of the outstanding pictures he was getting. When we reviewed the photos later we saw many very candid moments we didn't even realize he was capturing. The same is true about our wedding day. He and his partner Lindsey arrived early to shoot us getting ready and I hardly noticed him moving about our hotel suite and coordinating everything. During the ceremony they got shots from the balcony as well as from the front and never interfered with the "action" of the ceremony or got in any shots with our videographer. Esenam and Lindsey were with us all day and evening and endured some chilly outdoor Chicago weather to get some wonderful, and unique, shots of us around the city. They were an absolute pleasure to work with and really captured the joy and excitement throughout the day. The focus of our photos were more candid and natural shots, now that is not to say he did not coordinate some group shots of the family as well as bridal party, but the majority were very naturally occurring and wonderful pictures. I would recommend them to anyone and would absolutely use them again in a heart beat!

il I saw my pictures from Esenam. He has a completely different style, more journalistic. The pictures tell the story of the wedding. I have never seen anything like it! He interveiwed us, got to know us, understand us, and it showed in the pictures. I absolutely love the pictures. He has the unique ability to capture the moment. When I saw the pictures, it was like being sucked right into the moment they were taken. He was very kind, personable, professional, fun, funny and a joy to deal with. He had me dying laughing as he showed me how I should pose with my bouquet! He was as much a part of the wedding as any of my guests. His technical ability is unmatched. It rained the whole day of the wedding, but somehow he was able to capture pictures that made the day look absolutely perfect, and others the captured the beauty of the rain. He captured our personalities perfectly...my bubbly flirtatiousness with my husband's more reserved Europeaness! He was able to take perfect pictures of me and husband, which is difficult because I am a dark skinned black woman, and he is European. He is simply amazing! It was like having a friend of the family take the pictures. He even helped me find the bustle loop in my dress, which was buried behind three layers of lace. I give him my highest recommendation!

d using Esenam, I am so happy with my photos. http://www.esenamphotography.com/

absolutely adore him (and of course the pictures) and would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!
