Truely Dreadful Photos

Our wedding was a few months ago now. We waited over two months for the photos. Then it took me a couple of months to get over how dreadful the photos are. After corresponding with Dom, we never met Rick, I decided to share. Dom said that a lot of time, care, and creative effort went into capturing and editing my wedding photos, and he stands by the work delivered ...... that these photos are consistent with his work. If this is the case then the photos on their website where taken by Rick or someone else altogether. We have not one nice close up of us on our wedding day, not one that we can put in a frame on our wall. None with my eyes open, unflattering angles, face screwed up, face in the shadows, my husband elbowing me in the chest whilst cutting the cake.

Amazing photos & videos

We had the pleasure of hiring Rick & Dom as our wedding photographer and videographer, and we could not be happier with their work. They were both amazing, professional, and friendly throughout the whole process. They made both us and our guests feel at ease and captured every moment beautifully. The photos and videos they delivered were stunning, creative, and high-quality. They truly exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day unforgettable. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a talented and reliable team to document their special day.
Thanks so much

Better than perfect

Extremely happy with their professionalism and the excellent results. Even our guests loved them and brilliant with the children.They captured every moment without us seeing them there. We still get emotional with the video that they put together. Highly recommend Essence Weddings.

Incredible photography and top blokes

We absolute loved the finished product. Our pictures captured the moments and the video captured the entire story of the day. We couldn't be happier with the result. But something the don't advertise is their personalities. They were brilliant! Had all of the guest it's stitches the entire day and we're great with the kids. They made our day more memorable just for entertainment factor. I could not recommend these guys enough. Top blokes! Extremely reasonably pricing for all in one photography and videography!
