About Essence

Essence Photo & Video specializes in the fine art of documenting your wedding. We will blend photojournalistic storytelling by capturing a mix of spontaneous moments, fine detail imagery, and artistic portraiture. We pride ourselves in helping make your dream day and its documentation a reality. We'll spend time with you, in person, discovering what you want; not advocating what we think you should have. Our years of experience can assist you in the collaboration process.

Essence is known for "high end" photography and videography at reasonable prices. We utilize the latest technologies in our photo and video services. From online proofs, the latest digital wedding albums to non-linear video editing; we blend the best of classical processes and today's latest technology. You will find our photography and video packages quite simple to understand and include many of the "extras" that others charge for.

Our online Photo Gallery is the most extensive in Chicagoland with hundreds of photojournalistic photos to view. We are proud of our work and want our clients to really know what our style is for photography. When you visit our studio, we have many different album styles, canvas prints, "gator board" prints, and framed photos to browse.

When you visit one of our four Chicago area studios, we will show you examples and work with you to understand your style for photography and videography. Our experienced wedding professionals will be happy to answer all of your questions and provide suggestions.
