Founded by Kathy Fremdling, ESME is the result of more than a decade of experience shaping brands, designing events, and creating memorable guest experiences.

Over the years, Kathy noticed the same pattern again and again: beautifully designed events were often paired with photo booth setups that felt generic, cluttered, or disconnected from the celebration itself.

ESME was created to close that gap, bringing the same thoughtful design principles used to build brands and events into the photo experience.

Today, every ESME installation is shaped by intentional styling, seamless interaction, and details that enhance the atmosphere rather than compete with it. From the environment and lighting to the guest experience itself, every element is designed to feel like a natural extension of the event.
