Estelle Gonord Photography specializes in a Thoughtful Documentary Approach.
Here’s the deal: I’m all about the real stuff.. messy, imperfect, and totally you. My couples often say I have a way of making them feel comfortable, like we’ve been friends forever. And fair warning… I might just become your biggest hype girl. I’ll laugh with you, cry with you, get goosebumps during your vows, carry your train, hand out tissues, and hug your family before the night is over.
Wherever your love takes you, I’ll be there to snap the real stuff. I’m based in Cranbrook, but I’ll follow your love story anywhere in the world making sure you look like your amazing self in every single photo.

genuine and intentional
Beautiful memories you can see, feel, and treasure forever.
Whether it’s your wedding day, a family gathering, or a branding session, I’m here to document the real emotions and connections that matter most. My style blends posing in a candid, documentary approach so your photos feel as natural and timeless as the memories themselves. Years from now, I want you to look back and not just see how it looked, but feel how it felt—every laugh, every tear, every little in-between moment that makes your story truly yours.

– For The Wildly in Love –
The couples I work with are as diverse and unique as their love stories. I’m honored to capture love in all its forms with the same commitment to authenticity, beauty, and respect.
My approach is inclusive and deeply personal, ensuring that every image reflects your true connection. No limitations, no expectations.. just your love, exactly as it is.
Heartfelt words from wonderful clients.
We feel so lucky to have had Estelle as our wedding photographer—she was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. She also shot our engagement photos, and right from that first session, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Her warm personality, sense of fun, and genuine kindness made every moment feel relaxed and enjoyable. Estelle is the kind of person who gets along with absolutely everyone—family, friends, vendors—she blended in seamlessly and made everyone feel at ease, which shows in the natural, joyful moments she captured.
Working with Estelle for our Engagement and Wedding photos was an absolutely phenomenal experience. Estelle is extremely professional, easy to work with, and captured so many precious moments from our big day. Estelle worked diligently to capture all of our big moments, and coordinated our wedding party to create timeless wedding photos at beautiful mountain vistas which she scouted in advance. We cannot say enough nice things about working with Estelle and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a photographer in the Columbia Valley.
I limit the number of clients I work with each year to ensure I can devote my full attention and creativity to each project. This approach allows me to craft personalized stories that truly reflect your unique journey.
