Esther was THE best photographer for our whole wedding planning process and the big day! She was beyond kind yet, kept the party moving when it needed too. We are in love with our pictures and couldn't be happier!
Very pleased with Esther, her professionalism and overall experience!
Esther is truly the BEST to work with!! We used Esther for our engagement photos and wedding photos and could not be happier with her work! She made us feel so at ease and so comfortable the entire time. She also runs a tight ship and really helped the flow of everything on the day of our wedding!! She really is a pro and I cannot recommend her enough!!
Esther is amazingly talented and such a great person to work with! She communicated timely and clearly, and was so genuine. Her photos are simply stunning!
Esther was by far one of the top highlights of our wedding journey. She was so positive and flexible - on top of her remarkable and amazing work. She is so effortlessly talented and dedicated to capturing magical moments. Every minute with her felt comfortable and it was one less thing we were worried about. Trust me, just stop looking and book Esther now before her schedule gets even busier. My husband and I get so excited to open every email from Esther, reminding us of all the magical moments we had. Esther was always on time and ready for rain or shine. She is so accommodating to our needs! Thank you for everything Esther, can’t wait to see you again!
We cannot recommend Esther enough - she is not only an amazing photographer, but a pleasure to work with. She made our entire planning and day of experience so seamless and enjoyable. Esther knew the best spots for photos and how to capture exactly what we were hoping for. Our wedding photos are beautiful.
WOW, Esther is such a dream to work with. She photographed my wedding and thought of everything. Esther is very punctual, kind, and hard working. She made my first look so easy and was incredibly comforting. A preview gallery was even available THE NEXT DAY! How awesome is that! If you’re on the fence about who to book, Esther Griffin is the best choice!
Shhh... don't tell our other vendors, but Esther was BY FAR our favorite. She was organized, experienced, patient and kind, and worked incredibly well with the other vendors. Esther went out of her way to make sure that my wedding day as the bride went as smoothly as possible, and made my husband and I feel so comfortable on our wedding day. And by the way, her photos were a dream - exactly what we had hoped for our big day. Half of them are going on the walls of our house and the rest are being sent as gifts to family for upcoming holidays. Anyway -- you'd be crazy not to book her right this second!
Esther is truly A DREAM. She did our engagement shoot and wedding day, and made all of it painless! Even my camera-shy husband commented that our engagement shoot was "honestly not that bad"...high praise! Esther is the perfect combination of professional and personable. She got the best shots, incorporated our feedback and dealt with a small hiccup quickly and seamlessly! It felt like a friend snapping some photos on the biggest day, and we'll treasure the beautiful images she got for the rest of our lives.
Can't say enough how lovely Esther was throughout the entire process! From the initial phone call, to the first meeting, engagement photos and rehearsal dinner / wedding, Esther was incredibly warm, professional and helpful and always ensured we felt comfortable and knew what to do to produce the AMAZING photos we received very quickly after. Highly recommend Esther!
Hiring Esther was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She is so easy to communicate with and we never had any issues with relaying our timeline with her for our wedding day! She is was so efficient and took so many gorgeous photos but didn't make anyone feel like they spent hours getting their photos taken. She even drove me (the bride) to our first look location and then took both of us to the venue afterwards so we didn't have to get sweaty before the ceremony! Our pictures turned out amazing! I have been to weddings where the photographer is very noticeable snapping photos on the dance floor (which can make the party a little weird) but I never seemed to notice Esther was even there! She is such a sweet soul and genuinely loves what she does!
I can’t recommend Esther enough!! When your wedding day is over all you have left of it is the memories and the photos. I have only received my wedding previews and I am absolutely obsessed with them. I worried in the weeks leading up to the wedding that I wouldn’t like the way I looked in my photos but no with Esther’s talent (and a little hair and make up) I looked gorgeous in the photos. Everything was gorgeous. I love Esther because while she is sweet and fun she is there to to do her job and she is not afraid to tell someone when they are in the way, which I soooo respect considering family members often don’t understand things such as a schedule. I can’t recommend her more. Truly the best of the best.
Esther is wonderful in every way possible and is an absolute joy! Our wedding was so perfect and she made sure we didn't have to be worried about any of the minutiae so we could enjoy everything about our special day. She is an absolute professional who knows all the best locations for photos, her photography style is simply gorgeous, and she made all of us all so comfortable in front of the camera such that it felt like we were just just enjoying a lovely afternoon with a dear friend. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and she captured moments that we will cherish forever. The only difficult part has been deciding on our favorite shots because we love them all!
Esther came highly recommended by our wedding planner, and she definitely did not disappoint! She immediately put not only us but our families at ease. Esther was an absolute joy to spend the day with. Her pictures blew us away. The quality, details, and moments she captured are truly amazing. Do yourself a favor and take one less stress off of your plate, and choose Esther, you will be so happy you did!
Ladies, look no further for a wedding photographer! Your search stops here! I can guarantee you will not find anyone as wonderful or talented as Esther! Esther truly went above and beyond her call of duty as a photographer. Our wedding venue told us 4 months before our wedding date that they would not be able to accommodate as many guests as they had originally promised us (we had already invited the max amount of guests). Esther swooped in and saved the day. She immediately began reaching out to her contacts in Savannah regarding who had availability and could accommodate that many guests on our date! She sent us multiple options and gave her expert opinion on each! She eased so many of my worries and all of my stress! On our wedding day, Esther did such a wonderful job of keeping things on track and wrangling our families LOL. She had so much patience and professionalism but was also assertive enough to ensure that we got all the pictures that we wanted to get. I received the sneak peek of the wedding day pictures 3 days after our big day and they are absolutely GORGEOUS!!! We are thrilled with Esther's work. She captured the day so beautifully! Thank you so much for making our dreams come true, Esther!! We love you! Annie & Harrison
Esther was the very first wedding vendor I booked! I am so thrilled that I made that decision. From start to finish she was phenomenal. Her talent, thoughtfulness and professionalism made our entire experience stress-free. She did an engagement session, bridal portraits, rehearsal dinner and our ceremony and reception. I highly recommend the talented Esther! My favorite part of the whole experience was that no photos ever felt forced. Her process is so organic and FUN! She is there giving you all the support while capturing the love and life that naturally comes with the joy of getting married! Thanks, Esther!! You are the BEST!
Esther was just incredible and a joy to work with! Her work is absolutely beautiful, I am still in awe of all shots she took. Esther was also great at getting my fiancé to loosen up and actually smile in photos. Do yourself a favor and book Esther now, you will not be sorry!
Esther is the BEST! Beyond being an amazing photographer (her photos speak for themselves), she is a true joy to be around. My husband hates having his photo taken but loved working with Esther. She and her team are extremely organized, too! They were able to quickly move our engagement shoot around for weather when we were only in town for a few days, accomodated my (many) specific photo requests, etc. We were thrilled with our choice. Also I showed Esther a few shots on Pinterest that I was dying to replicate and she re-created them all perfectly. Esther, if you're reading this, I can't thank you enough and I hope you can find time in your busy calendar to travel for our future photography needs!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Esther. I knew I wanted to work with her within 5 minutes of talking over the phone. She has a true talent with photography. She made everyone comfortable and took all the awkwardness away from being in front of a camera, reduced stress, and kept everyone on schedule! We had a very tight timeline on my wedding day and Esther and her team (big shout out to Tabitha) somehow made it all work. She truly added to the day and experience.
I booked Esther Griffin as my wedding photographer, and even before I met her, my other vendors I spoke to sung her praises. She is well known in the industry as being a true professional. My florist called her "Mary Poppins" and said she'd get everything done efficiently and perfectly, and that is absolutely what she did. Not only is Esther the best photographer on the planet (the photos she took are so breathtaking) but she is so kind, and made all the other aspects of my day fun and perfect. I'm pretty sure Esther could also be a wedding planner and a tour guide of Savannah if she had the time!
Esther will take you to all the best photography spots in the city with punctuality, cheeriness, and professionalism. And then when you receive your photos (she'll get them to you lightning fast!) your breath will be taken away. She will help you with your dress, she'll wrangle your family together to get photos, and she will do it with a smile!
A true pro. A wonderful woman. 10/10.
Working with Mrs. Esther was an absolute dream! From the beginning process of gathering more information about my husband and I to be able to accurate capture what we were looking from, to the Zoom phone call, to the actual engagement and wedding day, Mrs. Esther left no room for error. And to top it off, she has the most beautiful and captivating personality that is so genuine. We absolutely love all of our photos (the only downfall is trying to decide out of all them which ones to hang up!). I would absolutely recommend any one in search of a photographer who you want to capture candid moments along with personalities in the photographs to absolutely reach out to Mrs. Esther, she was worth every penny and some!
Esther is a true professional, we loved working with her. The pictures she took look fantastic and we would highly recommend her for any photos you need!
We have never felt more comfortable with a professional service than we did with Esther. From day 1, she was in contact with us, her processes completely streamlined with a detailed schedule down to the minute! She even recommended hair and makeup for me! Esther has such a calming spirit about her...my nerves were squashed when she took over! And the quality of photos....there is only one word---magical!
Esther is an amazing photographer! We hired her to shoot our elopement and our photos turned out beautifully. I don't particularly like having my picture taken but I never felt awkward; Esther made the entire experience fun and memorable. She is accommodating, professional and definitely the right person to capture your special moments. Thank you so much!
If you are thinking about hiring Esther for your wedding, stop thinking about it and do it. She is amazing, kind and so talented! There was supposed to be tornadoes and hail on our wedding day and she was so accommodating and adjusted the timeline so we could take photos. They turned out stunning and exceeded our expectations! I can’t say enough wonderful things about her and I am so happy I found her!
I really can’t say enough positive things about Esther. I hired her for my elopement in Savannah, GA and I literally cried tears of joy when I saw the pictures. She has a wonderful eye for capturing the beauty of the city and the love between me and my husband. Esther is also just so kind and personable. As a New Yorker, I’ve had many professional photos over the years but none that I’ve loved more than these. She knows just how to direct you to get the perfect shot. I will cherish her photos for ever!
Esther is an outstanding professional photographer who not only did an amazing job of capturing the most iconic moments of our daughter’s wedding but actually helped to create even more special moments than we could have imagined. She even managed to turn a bump in the road, like getting locked out of the bridal suite with the entire bridal party while shooting pre-ceremony candids in their pajamas, into a photographic archive recording an unexpected adventure that made that special day even more unique. Her instincts and artistic IQ enable her to know exactly what to do in order to capture the true essence of the wedding and its participants. We cannot recommend her enough. She is the best!
Esther is an absolute GEM! She gives great direction, is very efficient, and the end product is so beautiful and catered to you. She is so sweet and easy to work with. The pricing is very fair, especially for something so important that will last forever and you’ll always have to look back at. We did an engagement mini session before the wedding which helped us get to know each other and I think it helped make the wedding day smooth and personal. My husband and I loved how she coached us through photos and gives feedback as you go (he doesn’t love being in front of the camera and our end products are magazine worthy tbh) our family and bridal party portraits after the ceremony were quick and my whole family absolutely loved her.
I would recommend Esther to anyone getting married!! I actually asked my husband if we can have another wedding so we can hire her again lol
Esther is the absolute best! She is so organized, so talented, and so sweet! Our photos are beautiful and we couldn’t thank her enough!!
Esther was absolutely amazing!! The best wedding day photographer I could have asked for! She was so good at helping us understand how to pose for photos(we both had no clue) and was able to capture amazing pictures that we will always cherish. She even shooed people out of the way when we were taking pictures in public and they were going to be in the background 😂
She also was so good at planning ahead with me, I was having a difficult time planning and nailing down a date and specifics because of COVID but she was so flexible and awesome to work with.
I wasn’t expecting to have my photos immediately but I was happily surprised when they came through 24 hours later! All my photos beautifully edited already! It was such fast timing!
I would definitely reccomend Esther for your day!
I think one of the most important things you can invest in for your wedding is photography - the photos give you the opportunity to look back and relive moments of one of the happiest and most meaningful days of your life. And Esther is absolutely the most wonderful, kind, and talented photographers you could possibly find!
My husband I are definitely not used to having our photo taken often, so we were a little nervous about feeling uncomfortable posing and having our pictures taken all day. However Esther made us feel completely comfortable instantly, and we actually had SO much fun all day with her! She is so sweet and kind, and just has the most calming and reassuring presence. Her attention to detail and her extreme professionalism made our day run so smoothly, we had no stress at all!
And the final product - oh my goodness!! I tear up every time I look at her beautiful photographs. She captured so many precious moments during our day. We have beautiful photos from every point of our day. Some of my favorites are the amazing candid shots she captured during our reception! It’s truly amazing to be able to look back and relive those moments. Her work means so much! And the turn around time is astounding, I had our pictures back WAY before I expected them (which is awesome because I know every newlywed is anxious and excited to get them back!)
We honestly couldn’t have found a better photographer. Esther is simply amazing, and such a joy to work with!
Esther was fantastic! Not only was she kind, excited to share the day with us, but also extremely talented. Her aesthetic very much captured the love we felt during the day and the charm of Savannah.
Esther made our wedding day go by seamlessly. She listened to our concerns and worked with us. She is so nice! The turnaround for the photos was very quick as well. I will be recommending her to everyone I know and I will be using her for future events.
It is truly an amazing feeling every time you show friends your wedding sneak peek photos and their jaws drop and say your photos look like they are out of a magazine or romance novel!!! I met Esther in Savannah on one of my visits since my now husband and I were having a destination wedding. Esther is amazing at capturing photos and is passionate about her clients and work. She took her time to get to know me and what I wanted captured, she never missed a beat! Esther was patient with me and my several family members on wedding day and her styling kit was absolutely gorgeous! She was so enjoyable to work with, always flexible, and even stayed past the time in our timeline because she wanted to capture every single moment. I am so thankful that Esther and Makenzie captured our perfect day. She made me forget that we were in the middle of a pandemic because of how beautifully she captured every moment. I can't wait to see the rest of our incredible photos!
If there is one person that should ever shoot your wedding in low country - leaving it be Esther Griffin. Her work speaks for itself. Esther made the process of our wedding photography not only easy, but also enjoyable. Working with her kind soul was an honor. He is professional, knows the game, and her the around this was PHENOMENAL. We are truly fortunate to have had her as our photographer. Thank you, Esther!
Esther’s work is stunning. She communicates very well and even assisted me in planning the perfect proposal. She was punctual and arrived before we did. She provided excellent service and was so incredibly personable. She was more than happy to answer any questions and even provide direction when necessary.
Esther went above and beyond on providing excellent results and even provided a quick turn around on the edits. If you’re looking for a great photographer and someone that’ll help bring your vision to life, Esther is the one that can get it done.
Esther was the embodiment of professional and fun. We had a blast taking our elopement photos with her and are so happy with the result!
Esther is the perfect photographer. She guided us and gave us advice on what would make our pictures perfect. She was flexible and made us feel so comfortable! I would say that if you can get her for your pictures then do it asap! We can’t be more thankful that she took such amazing engagement pictures and look forward to our wedding pictures!
We cannot speak highly enough of Esther. Everything about her from her sweet southern demeanor to her exquisite attention to detail just adds a splash of splendid to an already special occasion. We traveled from Pennsylvania and "joke" about creating more special memories/moments in Georgia just so we can call on Esther to capture them like only she knows how! She has excellent local recommendations for hair/make-up/florists/etc. She truly goes above and beyond. Forget the rest - you're wasting your time browsing for a top-notch photographer if you don't choose her. She's worth every minute and every dime.
We cannot put into words how amazing our experience was with Esther but we will try. From the first time we talked to her, we could sense the love and passion she has for her craft. From beginning to end we felt comfortable, relaxed and confident that she was going to capture every bit of this special day for us. She brought us around the town of Savannah where the scenery was perfect for what we had in mind. In each location, she placed us in poses that captured such sweet and intimate moments. The gallery was presented to us quickly and had us looking at the pictures over and over in awe. Our family and friends have enjoyed looking through the gallery and they are just as impressed as we are. This was important to us because we were eloping and wanted them to share the day with us somehow. We highly recommend Esther if you are looking for the perfect photographer to trust with the memories of your priceless, once in a lifetime, never going to get back... wedding day!
My girlfriend and I were visiting Savannah and I decided to propose to her. I got in contact with Esther and she was amazing. She helped me plan the surprise and we had a great time with her. Recommend 15/10.
We visited Savannah last minute and Esther agreed to meet up with us and shoot a short engagement photo session. Her photos are beautiful and we could not be more happy with them! She has a wonderful personality as well and kept us laughing the whole time!
Having Esther as our photographer was the absolute best decision we made regarding our wedding planning. Esther is incredibly warm, friendly, and so professional. Our original wedding plans were thwarted by Covid and we ended up having an intimate (lovely) ceremony at my childhood home. Although far from Savannah and not what we’d planned, Esther traveled to us and made the day just perfect. (She even gave us hints like how to do the ‘cut the cake’ part, as we had no idea!).
The photos she took are absolutely stunning shots (and we already have our gallery!). She took gorgeous photos of my husband and I, our family, the details, dancing, flowers, our pup... every part of our wedding day. We’ll cherish these forever.
If you’re looking for a photographer and if Esther’s available, consider yourself incredibly lucky.
We loved Esther! Her bright and witty personality really helped to keep us feeling relaxed and having fun on our wedding day. She helped us wrangle our very large wedding party and also helped to create our wedding photo inspiration that we were looking for. She gave wonderful suggestions and the pictures turned out gorgeous. Thank you so much for everything!
Esther is hands-down the most amazing photographer around. She is professional, personable and incredibly talented. Her knowledge of Savannah, how to handle people, make -- and stick to! -- a schedule is everything you need on your special day. Plus, she knows so many venues and vendors, creating a great team and reducing all the stresses of wedding planning. Her care and handling, awesome sense of humor and sunny personality truly makes her the Queen of Photography! Thank you, Esther! You've got friends for life!!
Words cannot describe how much we loved working with Esther! Her personality is so fun and easy-going. You can see the passion she has for photography radiate around her and is definitely shows in the work she produces. She is a goddess with a camera and captured the most beautiful moments of our wedding day. My husband and I are not the most comfortable posing in front of a camera but she was able to help us feel relaxed and just enjoy the moments. If I could I'd have her photograph every event we plan for the rest of our lives. Thank you Esther for everything you do!
Working with Esther was an incredible experience. She is such a pro and made the experience especially enjoyable. Her knowledge of beautiful locations in Savannah was evident as we toured in and around the city during our shoot. The pictures turned out wonderfully, I highly recommend her services.
Esther was amazing! We had a small, intimate elopement in Savannah and it was everything I dreamed of. She touched base with us through email all the way up until the date, and meeting her in person the day of was like we had known each other all along. She is so sweet and personable, funny, and a kind soul. She knew what I was envisioning and took control and made it happen- which was exactly what I needed. All we had to do was be there! Everyone agrees our wedding photos are something out of a fairy tale- I strongly recommend booking her for yours!
Esther is AMAZING!!!
We decided to have a destination wedding and the BEST choice we made was hiring Esther to be our photographer !! We did our research like most engaged couples looking for the best fit.. Style & personalty for our wedding vision. Meeting Esther was one of the first things we did and booked her shortly after and the journey began.! Esther was such a huge help to us... Recommending vendors she trusted and had worked with. She quickly responded to my emails and helped with so many details.
When the wedding day came around , we were at ease having fun & relaxed like on a photo shoot with a friend.. So ready to get married and enjoyed every minute of the day. She captured every detail of our wedding and now looking at my pictures I feel like everything was just as beautiful and magical as I remember.
SO grateful to have found Esther and unbelievably happy how everything was captured on our wedding day with her incredible talent!
She really goes above & beyond to make you feel special and has so much Love for what she does!!!
My husband and I eloped in Savannah at the Hamilton-Turner Inn. Esther photographed the ceremony and then took us around Savannah to her favorite spots for pictures. I have to say, it was the highlight of our wedding. She has an amazing eye for the beauty of the area, and the photos are absolutely perfect. She captured the memories for us exactly as I hoped for. I would give her 100 stars if possible. Highly recommend.
Esther is an absolute star!!! We are completely in awe of the wedding photos she has delivered thus far. She made sure we got every picture we wanted, and even accompanied us downtown after our reception for more. She is creative, kind, and so, so much fun to work with. We absolutely cannot speak more highly of Esther Griffin Photography!
Esther completely exceeded our expectations on our wedding day!!! She came very highly recommended so I had high hopes but she was beat than we could’ve ever imagined!! Her creativity, talent, and overall personality was so fun and amazing! She was a great asset to our day and we could not be more grateful!!!!
Esther did an incredible job photographing our wedding! We have the best wedding pictures and I will cherish them forever. Not only did we get amazing photos, but she also kept me calm and excited despite the arctic blast that was happening. I highly recommend Esther Griffin Photography!
Esther was extremely professional, highly organized, and created the most amazing photos. She was extremely enthusiastic and energetic, and extremely fun. Her timeline creation was especially helpful when we were planning our wedding as it included things we had not even considered.
The technical knowledge was especially impressive and the results speak for themselves. There were many different lighting situations and she captured them all by swiftly switching lenses.
I would highly recommend Esther for your wedding.
My fiance and I were so worried about how we would get through our engagement session without being total goofs. Esther made us feel so comfortable, we enjoyed ourselves and the photos came out beautifully. we couldn't be happier!
This review is late in coming but wanted to give a huge shout out to Esther for the fantastic job she did at our daughter's wedding at the Whitman House. (and the rehearsal dinner the night before at The Wyld). We have a blended family so it was a challenge to get all the photos coordinated but she took the time to make sure everyone was included. Her website is well organized making it easy to find specific pictures. She has an eye for detail and we couldn't be happier with how our pictures turned out. If you are looking for a reputable photographer look no further than to Esther!
Right from the start working with Esther was the best! She replied to emails within minutes...no matter the time of day and was so helpful with all things wedding related, not just photography. And when a tropical storm popped up just 2 days before our wedding Esther really showed her true and caring personality! She offered a redo at our outdoor location so we could get the photos I so desperately want! And the photos she takes! They are absolutely gorgeous! Each one is better than the next! She made my husband and I so comfortable and at ease. She will be our lifelong photographer for special occasions from here on out.
Esther is awesome. Very attentive and even gave us advice on things related to the actual wedding date. We had lots of fun with the engagement shoot, she made us feel very comfortable and we finished everything right on time. The pictures are stunning and I can't wait for her to take the pictures for our wedding day as well!
Esther is an absolute dream photographer! She went above and beyond for my fiancé and I when we had some unavoidable hiccups in travel and we are truly grateful for her honesty and flexibility. She’s fun and easy going and made us feel so comfortable and natural in-front of the camera. Not to mention her work is STUNNING! I couldn’t have dreamed of a better photographer!!
We had Esther shoot our wedding on July 6th. She captured the moments perfectly. She was able to capture the natural beauty of the wedding venue. She is very nice to work with. She was very open to our ideas where we wanted to capture some moments. Before the wedding she looked around the venue and found spots she wanted to capture us in. We are very thankful she was our photographer for our wedding.
Hands down the best decision we made!
Esther was worth every. single. penny. Even though we had a small budget for a small wedding, we knew we wanted to spend more $ on a good photographer since at the end of the day, once all the dust has settled all you have is your photos and memories. We met with a few other photographers, but something about Esther just stood out - she felt like family. We are not the most PDA of couples but we never once felt awkward around Esther. Think of her like your aunt who just happens to take AMAZINGLY Gorgeous photos. That is Esther.
Also we got our full gallery in under two weeks which is almost unheard of. We are speechless by how amazing they turned out, light/airy, romantic. We could not believe it was us - they looked like they should be in a magazine.
Being a COVID couple we had to reschedule our wedding three times. Esther was more than understanding and worked with us completely every step of the way always offering to help beyond her normal job duties.
While we were bummed we could not have our full blown wedding like we originally planned, we are so incredibly thankful we at least have these beautiful pictures that captured our small intimate wedding. I cannot say enough good things about Esther, I would book her again in a second. She is not only an amazing person inside and out, but also produces absolutely beautiful photos that you will cherish forever. I cannot thank her enough.
We couldn't have done it without her! Esther came up to Atlanta, 4 hours away with no extra fees to make sure we had a photographer for our wedding when the hurricane came to Savannah last week. We had to move everything in 4 days. When half our vendors pulled out, she showed up and even offered anothed shoot in Savannah with our wedding attire sometime this fall! She has been so fun and yet extremely professional. All of my bridal party and our vendors loved working with her, she was a quick favorite with everyone. Would not recommend anyone else! We love you Esther!
I can't express how wonderful and the amazing job Esther did!! You won't be disappointed! We had off and on rain all day and Esther worked with us to capture all the pictures we wanted and then some!!
Amazing! From beginning to end Esther was amazing. We planned a destination wedding from Michigan and I couldn't have asked for a better day. Esther was so personable and easy going, made the day go by so smoothly and even gave me her sandals to wear when my heels were killing me! She took us around Savannah and made sure we got plenty of beautiful pictures of our day. Esther got us preview pictures the night of the event and we were blown away by her incredible work. She is an amazing photographer and anyone would be lucky to work with her.
I absolutely loved working with Esther! She exceeded our expectations! I can't even begin to explain how wonderful she was. She answered all of my questions, quickly. She showed up early, she was super efficient. We had a huge family and 1,000 photos that I wanted and she got them done quick and they came out great! I even had a moment to breathe and sit down & take everything in before we headed to the reception and we still showed up early. I was always told that I would spend a lot of time taking photos that I wouldn't be able to enjoy everything and I would miss out on things happening on my wedding. Because of Esther, I was able to enjoy every moment. I spent so little time taking pictures but yet, Esther had thousands for us.
I can not say enough about how fantastic Esther was! We were running behind getting ready and somehow everything with pictures just flowed perfectly! She went above and beyond...even helping me by writing my vows out on paper for me! The pictures were amazing and that’s coming from someone who hates having her photo taken! We got our initial bride/groom pictures the very next day! I am keeping her number for the next time I need photos done in the Savannah/Tybee area! She’s amazing!
Esther is amazing. Her pictures came out just the way I thought they would. They have such a romantic and dreamy feel to them. She also has the best personality and is a pleasure to work with! Can’t wait to see our wedding pictures!
My fiancé and I had such a great experience with Esther for our engagement photoshoot! We were new to the Savannah area, and she made us feel right at home and comfortable from the start. She made the photoshoot fun and eased our nerves with her wonderful personality and easy conversation. Not only was the experience wonderful, but the photographs turned out stunning, beautiful, and exactly what we were looking for (and more!). I would highly recommend Esther's photography for Savannah locals and out-of-towners the same. You will not be disappointed, in fact, you will be blown away!
We enjoyed our engagement session with Esther so much! She was so personable and made us feel very comfortable during our session. We met at our location and started right away, she gave great direction and helped us when needed. She had great accommodations for us to change outfits for our shoot! We received our photos within two weeks of the shoot and the site was easy to navigate and download photos. We are excited to work with Esther for the remainder of our wedding events!
We had such an amazing time with Esther! se was super professional but made you feel like family at the same time. We are very happy with her work!
Esther was wonderful! She made me feel free to be myself and my guest. She captured the moment in my wedding. I received my fotos the very next day. I highly recommend
We had such a pleasent experience with Esther! Our pictures turned out so beautiful and we couldnt be happier! Esther was so nice and professional. She kept everyone on track but also took her time.
We couldn't believe how comfortable Esther made us feel, we felt like movie stars because of her fun/high energy and excitement while taking our pictures. Esther gave us great direction and kept poses natural to our character. Plainly, Esther ROCKS!!!! Thank you Esther for capturing our wedding day forever.
God is Good,
Jerry and Danielle
Esther did a phenomenal job with our engagement session. She definitely took her time and got a variety of setting and shots with an un-posed style, which we love! She sent us every photo that was in focus so we could choose what we liked best. Couldn't be happier with our choice, can't wait to see our wedding photos!
Esther is such a joy to be around! She definitely makes you feel comfortable and is so easy to work with!!
My wife and I highly highly recommend you book Esther Griffin as your wedding & engagement photographer! Her work is absolutely beautiful and stunning, and she is just so much fun to be around. We had such a blast with her on both our engagement photo shoot and at our wedding. She absolutely feels like family, and knows how to handle large families to boot. As a mother and seasoned photographer, she expertly wrangled our enormous family ranging in ages from 1-93. She helped make our day feel stress free, and captured everything in the most beautiful way (better than we even imagined!) We could not be happier with the thousands of amazing photos and moments she captured. If you’re from out of town like us, you can trust Esther to know the best (and hidden) spots around Savannah, and to have a close working relationship with Savannah’s best wedding vendors. Book Esther! She is our favorite person! This will be the best decision you make for your wedding!
Ester did my daughter’s wedding photography. She was wonderful to work with and kept everyone on track to get all the pictures we wanted. I have only seen the preview pictures as of today, but they are fantastic! We were so pleased with her work and would highly recommend her!
Esther was incredible!! She helped us capture our surprise proposal and was even able to help us get a videographer too! Her pictures are very high quality and she does a great job at catching all of our good angles! If you want a photographer who responds quickly and has high quality work, Esther is the one for you.
Esther was amazing. She communicated very clearly st every instance, showed up on time, and was very professional. Also she as a person is very sweet, and made us feel very comfortable. Would recommend 1000%!!
My fiancé and I had such a wonderful time with Esther for our engagement shoot! We were both nervous about being in front of a camera for an extended period of time, but Esther made the process not only painless, but fun. She captured us, our love and the way we truly act together, perfectly. We are going to cherish these photos for quite a long time! To top it off, Esther’s turn around time was impressive! We didn’t have to wait long at all to receive our gallery and start sharing our photos with loved ones. I would recommend Esther to anyone looking for a photographer that can capture amazing photos while making you feel relaxed and confident! Thanks, Esther!
It can be overwhelming trying to find a photographer for your wedding. There are a lot of talented and technically good photographers. If you want beautiful photos, there are several photographers in Savannah that will accomplish that for you. What makes Esther special is her spirit, professionalism, and calming presence. She can take incredible photos for you but also make you feel comfortable, confident, and really experience the joy of your celebration. I’m so thankful to have met Esther and have shared such an incredible day with her.
The most important thing in our wedding planning and budget was finding the right photographer. Esther was the perfect choice for our wedding! We’re both shy, and especially camera-shy, but Esther made us both feel very comfortable. She took beautiful pictures for both our engagement and our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier! She’s wonderful and friendly and and has the most excellent eye for a shot :) Thank you, Esther!!! You’re the best!
We had a blast with Esther taking our engagement photos, and could not be more delighted that we chose her as our wedding photographer! She gave the perfect amount of direction while keeping the shoot fun and comfortable. We could tell right away that Esther is an experienced professional, and she immediately put us at ease even though we were both a bit nervous at the beginning (this was our first photo shoot ever!) I'm still amazed at how natural and *good* she made us look! Esther knew all of the best spots in downtown Savannah, and our photos came out stunning and perfect, just how we dreamed. I'll never forget how she wasn't shy about running into the street, or kneeling by a bush to snag the perfect photo & angle. I highly highly recommend you book Esther as your photographer. I can't wait to see her again for the wedding!
I found Esther Griffin via Instagram and I am so pleased I stumbled upon her! From the start, Esther has been great with communication. I truly felt like I was in great hands and she was going to ensure she capture every detail of mine and my husband’s day. My photos are amazing! Not to mention within 48 hours we had our photos! I was expecting a few weeks - which was totally reasonable for me!
Esther - you have gone above and beyond. We will always remember our photographer who taught us how to cut wedding cake and shared laughs with. Thank you for everything!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Esther, she was absolutely amazing! I decided to book her for our wedding based on all of these lovely reviews and she was even better than described. She made sure to capture every moment we had discussed and working with her was like working with a close friend, effortless! Not to mention the pictures are stunning! We also had a second photographer, Andrew, and he was just as delightful. Do not hesitate, book her now!
I cannot rave enough about how amazing Esther was. My husband and I got married two days ago and already have our ceremony pictures back. Photography was the one thing I really cared about and she delivered in such a big way. She strikes the perfect balance between giving you direction and letting you do your own thing in front of the camera, and she makes you feel like the most attractive person in the world in the process. We will definitely be making the trek back down there for family pics in the next few years!
After careful consideration, we chose Esther to photograph our elopement to Savannah. Prior to the elopement, Esther was very helpful, friendly, and quick to respond to all our emails. We wanted and needed to do some things differently - like be outdoors in the middle of the hot afternoon - and she was very flexible and accommodating with all our requests. We got our pictures extremely fast and they were beautiful and compelling. You will be happy if you hire her!
Esther was the perfect fit for us professionally and personally. First and foremost, Esther is everything you could hope for in a professional photographer: timely, organized, creative, methodical, precise, and flexible. She was super responsive to our requests and inevitable fluctuations in plans. Esther has immense integrity and does the things she says she will. She also has incredible vision and artistic sense; she is able to capture beauty in delightful and surprising ways.
Most importantly, however, Esther is an amazing human. We couldn't have worked with her otherwise. She takes the time to get to know you; she offered to do an engagement shoot for us, where she learned our love story and walked for an hour or two in our shoes. She is funny and relatable. I swear I spent more time laughing with her than anything else. I felt that Esther deeply cared about us as a couple, more than anything else. Her work was merely a reflection of her authentic care and passion.
If you are looking for a relatable, cool, highly skilled photographer, you found her. 100% recommend.
Esther is FANTASTIC. She is kind, sweet and serious about her business. She was very accommodating, easy to communicate with and provided lots of suggestions for us during our engagement session and wedding.
I absolutely love all of the pictures we’ve gotten from her so far. We are excited to have so many portraits AND candid photos to cherish forever!
We had an amazing time working with Esther! She made the whole process easy, and stress-free. She was extremely accommodating, and very talented. We are so pleased with everything, and very thankful for our beautiful photos. Couldn't be happier :)
Esther was the absolute best! My fiancé is in the Army & we had to reschedule our engagement shoot & she was so accommodating to other dates we would be avaliable. She also made posing for the pictures an abosolute ease. She has a talented eye to capture perfect lighting! So grateful to have had Esther capture sweet moments for my fiancé & I.
Patient, professional, so so so sweet and so so so wonderful!!! Our engagement photos far exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait until our wedding day!
Wedding Day Recap:
Pure bliss! Esther agreed from the very beginning to help and assist with our wedding day timeline that was a little different. With a private family ceremony early in the afternoon and fun filled reception that evening, we had a window of time to snap photos of the bridal party, family, and of course photos of me and my husband in between. She wasted no time and produced absolutely stunning photos. We are so thankful for her and the role she played on the biggest day of our life.
Esther did an engagement session for my fiancé and I yesterday morning. We chose a sunrise session so we met at the beach at 6:10AM. The session ends at around 8:45 AM so the total time including driving to another location and changing outfit for 2 hours and 35 minutes.
During the session, she was really patient and professional, she told us how to react to the camera for natural photos. She helped me holding my crowns and provided blanket for us to sit on the grass. Even though it was morning session, it is still really hot outside. But Esther was really patient and did all the places that I prefer and also recommended the locations she thinks look nice.
We got the edited photos for our 2nd location on the same night, there are 200+ photos and are really high quality, I really like the way she shoots and edits. The photos meets our expectation and we enjoyed working with her.
I spent 1 months comparing photographers online, Esther's photos are high quality and price is reasonable. I would definitely recommend her for any photo shot and would like to work with her again next time if I get a chance.
Esther is incredibly talented and wonderful to work with! Her energy is just what you need on your wedding day! She is filled to the brim with so much love, positivity and excitement - it radiates through you and all your guests.
My husband and I were planning our Savannah wedding from Atlanta and Esther was kind and generous with her time - she met us “virtually” over the phone and it took no time at all to decide that she was absolutely perfect! Esther even did an engagement shoot with us before the wedding as practice for the big day on one of our trips to Savannah (P.S. I highly recommend this - her photos were perfect for our guestbook!).
Esther’s creativity and personality make you feel so natural when taking photos. We can’t decide which ones are our favorites, so we’re printing everything! We’re so excited to share all the special moments she captured with all our friends and family.
If you’re looking for someone that is full of life, love, talent, organization and makes you feel like you’ve known her your whole life - look no further. She’s the best!
I am not even sure where to begin. Esther is truly one amazing photographer and lady!!! Todd and I got married in Savannah this past weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to share our day with. We live in Louisville, ky and from the beginning Esther made everything so easy for us. From 4 am emails to afternoon chats about all of it details, she was amazing to work with!! We started out our wedding week with engagement photos. Esther was so gracious and picked us up and drove us around the city to take photos! There’s not a lot of people that would do that, but she never hesitated to be so helpful!!
Our wedding day was amazing!!! She fit right in with our extroverted family and friends, she was amazing with our nieces and nephews. It poured cats and dogs right before our ceremony and she just found new places to take pictures and was so patient with everything!! She made sure we had pictures outside once things cleared and just made us feel so special!!! She’s the best!!!!!
We are so happy that Esther was our photographer on our special day!!! She is so professional, we like her style in taking the moments and details . The pictures looks so natural !!!! It was so easy to communicate and it was a big pleasure to meet her !!! Thank you Esther that you made our day even more special!!!
Oh my goodness! Esther is such a talented and sweet person. Not only are her pictures absolutely BEAUTIFUL, but she makes it easy too. I love how responsive she is and she has such a wonderful personality. We just got our engagement pictures yesterday and they are gorgeous! I cannot wait for our wedding because I know she is going to take amazing pictures. Esther has been very accommodating with my schedule and my vision for the big day.
Esther is such a joy to work with. She is genuinely a cheerful and wonderful person which made it much easier to take photos with her. We just received our engagement photos and they are wonderful. We are very confident that Esther will produce amazing photos for our big day!
Update: Our wedding was about 8 months ago and I am still loving our wedding photos. On the day of our wedding Esther was on time and very professional. She also kept me calm when my coordinator bailed on me before the wedding was over. I could never thank Esther enough for taking good care of us on our wedding day.
Esther is fantastic! She brings brilliant energy and so artfully captures even the smallest moments. She was a joy to work with - quick with correspondence and confident in the agenda for the shoot. Most importantly, I love the photos she produced of our special day.
We had the pleasure of working with Esther for our engagement photos last week and are now confident that our wedding day photos are going to be just what we were looking for and so much more! We were originally nervous about taking pictures since we usually do not thrive in front of a camera but Esther made us feel comfortable and the photos are absolutely stunning. She has an eye for backgrounds, lights and poses. She also went above and beyond to accommodate us. The day before our pictures were scheduled, my makeup trial was cancelled and I was just going to do my own makeup but when I mentioned this to Esther, she moved her schedule around so I could have my makeup done for the pictures. I searched for a photographer for a few months and am so glad that I went with my gut and picked Esther!
