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!!

After days then weeks went by I made many attempts to get in touch with the owner. She never returned my calls and was never at her office during the hours that was posted on the office door. I finally caught her about to take off in the parking lot at her place of busines. When questioned she said the photos were coming in on the next delivery. A few days later we got the photos but it wasn't what we ordered so I refused the order plus by this time it was to late to send out for relatives to receive before Christmas. I ultimately had to call my credit card company and dispute the charge in order to get my money back. Very unprofessional! I'd never use again!

What an epic adventure we had this week with Delaney!…read more We took the lovely drive out to the historic Power House Musuem where Honey I Do led us on a short stroll to a divine little field! My gal pal, Holly, and I started with bestie photos together and the energy was lit from start to finish! As professional models we work with A Lot of photographers and videographers from far and wide, so when I say we had a TOTAL BALL, is an understatement! We transitioned into solo and portrait shots and wrapped up by popping some champagne together as we narrowly missed a light sprinkle from the weather! Delaneys feed back while we shot was fire and lightning (complimentary and encouraging) which just fed our egos and modeling to create a seriously bad ass and fun afternoon together! Just the tease photos we peeked at reveal Fabulous shots we are so excited to share!

They are also the most lovely human beings and are so fun to be round. We give them our highest recommendation! Details: We learned about Drozian through my husband's good friend who hired them for his wedding. It was great to see them in action during the wedding and their photos were stunning! We contacted them and they set up a Skype/Facetime meeting so that we could meet them and learn about their services. We were immediately struck by their warmth, passion and professionalism. A month or so before the wedding we had a phone meeting with Dusty to talk details before the big day! We discussed timeline and different photos we were hoping for. We also appreciated that he asked about the various groups/combos we wanted to photograph. He and Amy are super experienced and provided helpful guidance leading up to and during the big day. The day of the wedding they were joined by Amy's brother Austin who was also super nice. Throughout the entire wedding day, Amy and Dusty were sooooo wonderful and attentive. It seemed like one or both of them were always near us, kindly offering us water and/or food or asking if they could help in any way. Amy even held my lip gloss and Dusty printed my vows at the hotel business center! They are so fun, funny and relaxed that it really helped calm my nerves and made the day all the more enjoyable. And anytime we hoped to have something captured on camera, they were right there! Our guests commented on how Amy, Dusty and Austin were so present and involved, i.e. if they wanted to take a group shot, usually one of them was an arm's reach away. They made themselves so available, which we really appreciated. After the wedding, we missed them a lot and wanted to hang out with them more! We consider them our friends now and I know my husband's friend does as well! Following the event, Amy and Dusty sent us some sneak peek photos within a few days of the wedding, which was so fun! They then sent all our wedding pics and flash drive just a few weeks later. The photos are STUNNING and we love their mix of black and white and color photos. Their framing and compositions are outstanding. They are truly gifted at what they do and we are so grateful to them that we have all of these precious moments captured in these beautiful photos!! We love you Amy and Dusty! (And Austin too!) :) Thank you for everything!!!!

We had our engagement session in SF with them, and love the beautiful photos of us in the city we love. It was a perfect way to get to know them, and to establish our photography relationship that helped make the wedding that much better. For our wedding, Dusty and Amy kept me grounded and fed (a hungry bride is an angry bride and Dusty knew how to keep the monster at bay! hahaha), and captured beautiful romantic images from our amazing day. They also got some hilarious photos of my husband, that make me laugh when I see them. They couldn't be more perfect!! Amy and Dusty are incredibly funny, professional, punctual and able to work with a range of personalities. They managed to corral a 100 people around with ease and take photographs of everyone and feel like part of our wedding. People have commented on how absolutely stunning our engagement and wedding photographs are, and the work of Drozian Photoworks speaks for itself. I love how Dusty and Amy can look at a space, the lighting, the personalities of the people they are photographing and the end result be a breathtaking image. My husband and I are so so grateful to Dusty and Amy of Drozian Photoworks for the gorgeous memories they have given us, that we will be able to share with our families and friends!
