Mario's vision for photography is visually eloquent and creatively stunning. I'm always nervous…read morewhen looking to choose a photographer. Mario was very pleasant to talk to and to work with. He is excellent with creating a easygoing mood with everyone. If I need another photographer I would be very happy and comfortable working with Mario again. Thank you again Mario.

From the owner: Photography is not just a hobby for me. It's more than that. What I see is an image that's going to…read morelast a lifetime! An image that you can see over and over without it blurring away. Memories are being made one click at a time. Me being the person that I am, will always put you first. I want my clients to laugh, and to be emotional, and also show that joy when they look back at that special day when we captured that special moment! I pour my heart out to this. This is what it's made of. This is who I am.

Diana is such a talented photographer!! We are always so amazed and utterly awestruck by the images…read moreshe captures. She offers mini sessions which are a quick 20 minutes and in such a short time she truly makes magic happen. Her shoots a breeze and just the right amount of time! Diana makes you feel at ease and comfortable, and she's so good at keeping the mood lighthearted and fun. This has really paid off because we've seen her work wonders with a fussy, camera shy toddler and our impatient dog. Without fail, Diana has somehow managed to capture such beautiful moments of our family time and again. Our family photos will be treasured for years to come.

Our photos turned out amazing!!!!! Diana made the whole process so easy. She scouted out locations…read moreahead of time and told us where to meet her and at what time. She had everything needed for the shoot, had a plan, and executed it to perfection while simultaneously implemented all the things we had told her we wanted before the shoot as well. Diana is such a genuine person and made the experience so much fun. She was great with my 4 year old daughter and made her feel extra special during our session. When we received the photos we were blown away by how fantastic they turned out, but not surprised as we had seen her work before and know how talented she truly is. Diana, thank you once again for the overall 10 out of 10 experience, and providing our family photographs that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

We couldn't have been happier to have Betsy and Justin capture our engagement and wedding photos…read more I had really high standards (thanks to Pinterest), and Essence Photography far exceeded them. After experiencing engagement/wedding photography, I would actually have to say that the pictures are NOT the most important part. The most important part is how well the photographers and the subjects (us as a couple) work together. We totally dug Betsy and Justin. They are both so low key and relaxed, but at the same time, they get stuff done. They pose you and also take your suggestions for what you'd like to see. They are open to suggestions, but are also professionals, so they know what works and what doesn't work. They have such great personalities and are so good at what they do that my whole family was so appreciative of them on our wedding day. Having photographers with a good personality and disposition is so important, because they help you feel at ease, and therefore, take more beautiful pictures! I also have to say that Betsy is so kind for working with me. I have a pretty direct personality, and sometimes that doesn't always go over well. She was very patient in working with me and always listened to what I was looking for and did her best to accommodate me. I was very appreciative of that! The pictures they took for us will last us a lifetime. They are so beautiful and are also backed by good memories of working with Betsy and Justin. Thank you, Essence Photography!!
