Sean is amazing. He’s been taking a plethora of magnificent photographs for me, in many situations for years now. He is always warm, professional, knowledgable. He puts you at ease, suggests ideas and shots and poses without being pushy or intrusive. He listens to you and takes it on to help produce some of the best pictures I’ve ever seen of myself and my family

He’s brilliant and his work no exception to his brilliance. Long may I continue to capture my life in pictures at the hands of Sean and Essay… what a way to tell my story. Keep doing it Sean – thank you. Juliette.

Here is a look back over the last 20 years of experience in Wedding photography with Essay Photography. We have been blessed to shoot a variety of weddings in many venues and have very much enjoyed those years, whilst now we are focussed on Portrait Photography for our client. Here are just a few highlights of our time spent with our clients capturing these special moments.  .

MUSIC ARTIST PORTRAITS

Music Artist Photography has been a passion of Essay Photography for the last 30 years and have had the pleasure of photographing some Iconic legends during this time.

We are not just a wedding & Portrait Photographer – we Photograph Professional Photography for music artists for use on PR and album covers. We provide images in studio, on location and live including video.

We also love to work with local and upcoming artists too to give them a leg up so to speak and below are some samples of recent times. Further information on our Music Photography dedicate page here

I have used Essay Photography several times for various different projects and would highly recommend. Sean is a pleasure to deal with; highly professional and efficient, whilst also bursting with ideas and incredibly friendly too. I have recommended him to several businesses and am about to use him again for a third time.

HEADSHOTS

Your Headshot should be about you and also tell a story of who you are and what you are about. A modern headshot is more of an environmental/ Lifestyle Photo Shoot than an old aged studio shot on a white background. This speaks volumes about you to your customers – chat to us so we can show you off to your customers.

Headshot Portrait

No studio photos here just a true honest portrait of an MD at home in his workplace as it should be.

Authenticity from the outset in a Headshot is where the future is at
