Esther was everything we wanted in a photographer and more! When we started planning the wedding, we knew we wanted to focus on the pictures as they are the memories we can look back on forever and share with our family… She is an exceptional photographer; she made sure to capture every single part of our wedding. Esther is a pleasure to be around and brings so much joy.

“The moment we saw her work we knew she was the one… Esther's work is exquisite.”

I can't begin to adequately describe how amazing it was to have Esther as our wedding photographer... Not only is she an amazing photographer, but also an incredible person. We had the great privilege of working with several exceptional vendors for our special day, but I can wholeheartedly say that Esther was the absolute best, and I'm so grateful that she was a part of our special day.

“Her eye is simply unmatched.”

Jacqueline & Rob

On our wedding day, everyone expressed how much they loved her, from my bridesmaids to the family and friends. My mother was her biggest fan. Just like us, my mother appreciated Esther's positive energy, hard work, and dedication to our special day. Esther will be capturing the next milestones of our lives.

“Words cannot describe how blessed we were to have gotten the opportunity to work with Esther.”

RECENT Features

Growing up in Kenya, photography was never a priority. My personal history, and that of my parents and siblings can only be shared with the few images we have. But they don’t do justice to the rich and meaningful connections we had as a family. Now, I am only able to imagine the details of our family story as I try to share it with my own children.

The lack of these tangible memories is why I do what I do. Future generations deserve to know the love stories of their parents, to understand their family’s journey, and to deeply identify with where they came from. Photography allows us this opportunity — to truly know ourselves and each other beyond the bounds of time.
