I messed up the timeline however she rolled with the punches and didn't rush us at all. We had a large LOUD group and I was worried that her sweet soft tone and demeanor wouldn't mesh well with us however she fit right in, offering her own jabs of humor and let the boys know that she knows how to have fun but she means business! I really liked that! I don't have my wedding photos yet however she has sent a few previews. I LOVE what I see so far. In the months leading up to the wedding, Alexis and I communicated by text and email having a phone conversation is difficult. She understood and was wonderful in communicating. The tone that was set by her attitude was really something that I appreciated because I never felt stressed or rushed or annoyed by her AT ALL. Our day couldn't have been more perfect and much of that is attributed to Alexis and her professionalism and down to earth, relaxed and easy going characteristics. I cannot wait to see the rest of our photos!

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!!

She was flexible in scheduling and the turnaround time on both the web gallery and final flash drive was amazing. She scouted out the location we selected in advance and picked the perfect time of day for great lighting.

Marcie took our call at the 11th hour and was very warm and friendly. She agreed to do our engagement shoot with only a few days notice. Her and Jeff showed up with so much enthusiasm and warmth, that we forgot about the sadness of losing our wedding and were able to relish in the here and now. That was such a gift during this Covid crisis, when anxiety can overwhelm at times. The shoot was one of the most memorable days of our relationship, as Marcie and Jeff had so many fun ideas for poses. We got our picture back and were blown away by the brightness and attention to detail, as we are an interracial couple, and the lighting was done in an expert way. We ended up having a small ceremony and used the photos for invitations, and everyone commented on how beautifully the pictures turned out. Marcie and Jeff not only captured beautiful shots, but the genuine love my now husband and I have for one another. Thank you isn't enough, but from our heart to yours, we are always grateful to have met you Marcie and and Jeff. Blessings always.
