Esme Whiteside Photography

Esme is the most wonderful person to spend your wedding day with - The ultra cool friend you wish you had. Really relaxed, just what you need to keep you calm! Esme's vision for creating really authentic and natural moments is beautiful. Each photo feels dramatic but peaceful, if that makes any sense - full of story! I love the warmth of the edits too. Esme has a signature, without editing out your personality! I just love Esme's work!

We couldnt recommend Esme highly enough as a wedding photographer.. she is just fantastic! She captured our day perfectly and her style is completely unique, which is what drew us to her in the first place. She is laid back and relaxed in her demeanour - but super organised and will make sure she gets every shot. We will treasure our photographs forever! :)

Esme made our wedding day perfect. She is the most approachable, easy-going and fun photographer- from the first contact we had with her to the wedding day itself, she made everything stress-free and wonderful as a prime supplier. She put us at ease on our pre shoot (no easy feat as the most awkward humans alive) and had accessible contact with endless patience when we had to change our wedding date multiple times due to the old COVID situation. She was an absolute star from our wedding morning, putting my anxiety at ease with humour, until the very end of the day. Lots of people commented how it was like having a friend alongside us all day. We are so made up with our pictures, she has the most gorgeous style and talent, and are so glad we found her. Plus she is hilarious and has the best cats!! We wish she could follow us around and photograph our lives. Thank you for everything Esme xxx

I honestly cant even begin to explain how amazing you are, we first met Esme at my sister-in-laws wedding and i knew then we had to have you for our photographer. lets be honest trying to plan a wedding isnt easy but adding a pandemic half way through it wasnt pleasant, and really did add so much more stress with venue and date changes, Esme was a dream to work with, helped us more than you could ever expect your closes friends to help, she really did go above and beyond. Her work is out of this world, she has you at ease the second she walks through that door, I basically styled our wedding on Esmes work, I couldnt have dreamed for our pictures to be anything more than what she did for us. Im so sad that our day is over and we dont get to relive it all over again but if we did, you would definitely be our number 1 choice all over again. You really are something else!

We found Esme after weeks of looking through hundred of photographers for our wedding. We wanted something artistic and romantic and something a little different to the standard wedding image around us. We were met with someone friendly, genuine and passionate and we hit it off straight away after going to visit a wedding fayre she was attending nearby. We had our pre shoot where Esme made us feel relaxed and comfortable and despite us worrying we would be too nervous and unnatural, we laughed our way through it and the pictures were incredible. We went ahead with a micro covid wedding of 13 people and again Esme captured everything perfectly, especially the two of us, on such a monumental day. We are so excited for a celebration of our marriage this year, surrounded by our friends and family and watching Esme continue to grow. She has been a real support over the last year and went above and beyond her photography role and we are both incredibly grateful.
