One bride’s mother once captured my role perfectly.
As she buttoned her daughter’s wedding gown, the bride’s eyes welled with tears. “I’m so afraid I won’t remember it all.”
Her mother turned her gently and said, “It’s okay. That’s why Esther is here.”

Every moment of your wedding day holds a lifetime of hopes and dreams. Every face in the crowd is one that formed you. In all your life, this day, these people matter most.
My role is to hold those moments with care.
To catch the magic in every moment.
Moving through the day as a calm, steady presence - observing closely, anticipating quietly, and preserving the experience as it naturally unfolds.

Not only does Esther take stunning photos, she is the kindest wedding vendor you can hire. She is so patient and went absolutely above and beyond while photographing our 4 events over 2 days. She knew exactly how to guide us. We could not recommend her enough!

When I saw our wedding photos I actually gasped at how stunning they were. Did we really look that good?! Esther elevated the entire experience and captured our day more beautifully than I could have imagined.

Your date is secured with a signed online contract and deposit. Payments are divided into five installments, the first being the deposit and the remaining scheduled in the months leading up to the wedding.
You'll have access to a private client portal where everything is thoughtfully organized - contracts, invoices, questionnaires, timelines, and family photo lists. I'm always available by email, and calls and texts are welcome whenever you'd like to connect.
Esther is truly so talented. She knows how to get the best angle, lighting and the most from the people she is photographing. Not to mention her energy and calm demeanor is simply unmatched. She made everyone feel so calm and comfortable during the portraits, and then during the reception she was in the middle of the dance floor capturing the party. Hiring her as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made!

Ten Hoiurs of Wedding Day Coverage
The story of your wedding day begins long before the day, in the pieces you chose with care and meaning.
Your invitation suite. The gown, shoes, and veil. Jewelry worn close to the heart. A familiar fragrance. Something borrowed. His tie, cuff links, watch. And of course, the engagement and wedding rings.
WEDDING DAY
As you are getting ready, I photograph the finishing touches and the moments shared with those closest to you: parents, siblings, friends. They have loved you through every chapter, and this day holds deep meaning for them as well.
While I'm with you, my associate photographer documents the other partner and his or her side of the day with the same care and attention.
Many couples choose to see one another before the ceremony, creating space for a private moment together - sometimes paired with letters, gifts or personal vows.
These moments oten bring a sense of calm and grounding. They allow you to be fully present with one another and create room for portraits to unfold naturally, without hurry and rush.
I gently guide when needed, while allowing the moment itself to remain entirely yours.
These photographs matter deeply.
Parents and grandparents. Siblings. Nieces and nephews. The people who have loved you through every chapter. Whether family by birth or by choice, these are the bonds that shaped you, and this day holds profound meaning for them.
We prepare a thoughtful family portrait list during the planning process and move through it with ease on the wedding day, allowing the experience to feel calm and efficient.
Your wedding party is your chosen circle, the people who have stood beside you through seasons of life.
Using a thoughtfully prepared list created during the planning process, we move eficiently through portraits of the full wedding party, smaller groupings and individual pairings. The experience is relaxed and intentional, leaving space for connection.
I document the ceremony fully and discreetly, always respecting venue guidelines and the sanctity of the moment.
Beyond the vows and processional, I'm watching your guests: the quiet tears, the exchanged glances, the small reactions that reflect just how deeply this moment is felt.
Following the ceremony, we'll photograph any remaining family groupings with ease and efficiency. Often, we'll step away briefly for a few additional portraits of the two of you, especially as the light softens and begins to shift.
Cocktail hour carries beautiful, joyful energy. Reunions unfold naturally. Hugs linger. Old friends reconnect. I love capturing candid guest moments, natural groupings and the atmosphere of the celebration.
My team and I also document thoughtful details such as signature drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres, preserving the experience in its entirety.
Before guests enter the reception space, I photograph every part of the design - the florals, linens, place settings, paper goods and the overall atmosphere.
If timing allows, I love inviting couples in for a private first look at the space or even a quiet rehearsal of their first dance. These moments are intimate, joyful and often become favorites.
As the evening unfolds, I document introductions, toasts, first dances, and the energy of the night. adjusting lighting discreetly so the celebration continues uninterrupted.
The day often ends with a final quiet moment or joyful send off, one last memory, held just for you.
