Real Weddings

Many of our customers tell us the most important thing they want to see before making a decision are photos of Real Brides and Grooms from Real Weddings, not staged model shots. With that in mind, we’ve created Chicagoland’s largest wedding photography gallery, divided into two sections where you can view Real Weddings “By Style” (photojournalistic, traditional, etc) or “By Venue” (sorted by reception location). Both of these sections are 100% Real Weddings by Essence.

“By Venue” (sorted by banquet hall)

Here you can view Real Weddings Essence has photographed at more than 200 locations across the Chicago metro area. It’s an ideal way to see how Essence photographers have captured weddings at your actual location. Plus it’s fun to get wedding ideas by browsing through a variety of Real Weddings that have taken place at your chosen location or several locations you may be considering.

“By Style” (sorted by photography style)

What’s your wedding style? Whether you have already determined your theme, style and other elements or are just starting to plan, here you can see Real Wedding photographs in a variety of photographic styles, including Photojournalism, Traditional and Detail photography.
