The Essence Experience is Peace of Mind

from Chicagoland’s best wedding photographers!

We will work tirelessly to make your wedding vision a reality through easy and direct interaction with your photographer and your team of Essence professionals, allowing you to enjoy your day knowing Essence will handle the rest.

Your Essence Experience starts with your initial consultation where we work together to match you with right photographer based on your photography style and personality. You will be able to review and compare portfolios of a few Essence photographers before making your choice. You will select your photographer based on how much photo journalism you want, how much direction you want from your photographer, or take the suggestion of your Essence consultant. After you select your photographer, you will have an open line of communication to your photography team, including Photographer Director, Karen Neulander, and the photographer you have selected. So, if you have a question about how much time to schedule for pictures at the park or what time should you have the photographer arrive at your house for the getting ready photos, just ask your team. Give us them a call or even send an email from your cell phone.

Our experience has shown us that after the wedding, your priorities shift. Whether it is because you are house hunting, need to get back to things you put on hold for the wedding, or you are just plain burnt out; you will not have the focus on your wedding that you previously did. You are not going to want to spend multiple hours picking pictures and designing your album. Part of the Essence Experience is to give you the option of having Essence do this work for you. So, after the wedding all you have to do is review the gorgeous album design the Essence team has created for you, and then make a few changes. Instead of requiring you to spend hours and days working on your album, most brides find that they can review, make changes, and approve their album in an hour or two, and most of that is spent admiring the pictures!
