ABOUT ESTELLE GONORD PHOTOGRAPHY
Hey, I’m Estelle.
A wife and a mom who lives for golden sunset and cozy campfires.
Growing up, I was fascinated by those little disposable cameras, capturing “everything and nothing” just for the fun of it. But I never imagined photography would become my career. After earning a degree in kinesiology in France, I moved to Canada with my partner and found myself completely captivated by this country’s natural beauty. My work is inspired by the things I value most: love, connection, and nature. I love creating space for my clients to be themselves—to laugh, cry, and be present with the people they care about most. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me hiking the trails of the Columbia Valley with my little family, exploring new places, or simply enjoying the beauty of where I live.
Storyteller, Adventurer, and Lover of the Little Moments.
Meet my little fam & our adventure
In 2016, my husband and I packed our entire life into just two suitcases and left the beautiful south of France for the stunning Kootenays. Hands down, it was the best decision we’ve ever made! As nature lovers and adventure seekers, we instantly fell in love with the Kootenay lifestyle and knew this was where we were meant to be. Fast forward to today, and our little family has grown—I’m now a proud mom to the sweetest little boy, along with our three adorable fur babies.
Whether I’m capturing your love story in the mountains or documenting a cozy family moment, I bring that same energy and passion to everything I do. And if your journey takes you beyond the Kootenays—just say the word, and I’m there!
Adventurer / Dreamer / Mother / Creative
Photography is more than just images—it’s about preserving the moments that make your story unique. My style is all about authenticity and connection, blending the beauty of natural light with the candidness of real emotion. Whether we’re on a mountain peak or in your family’s backyard, I’ll work with you to create an experience that feels effortless and fun.
From the moment you reach out, my focus is on getting to know you and your vision. Whether it’s a wedding, family session, or lifestyle shoot, I want to understand what matters most to you. During our session, I’ll guide you with a light, natural approach so you feel completely at ease. We’ll laugh, explore, and capture the real you—your love, your story, your adventure. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just genuine moments and memories you’ll treasure forever.
Meet Your Photo Team
Estelle + Morgan
Morgan is my second photographer and associate shooter, and you might see her alongside me at a wedding—or capturing another beautiful love story on the same day as yours!
We first connected in 2022 through social media, and as new moms with boys the same age, we quickly became friends. It wasn’t long before we decided to team up, combining our love for photography and storytelling.
Why Choose an Associate Instead of Me?
There are a couple of reasons you might book Morgan instead of me:
- I’m already booked on your wedding day.
- You love my style but need a more budget-friendly option.
With Morgan, you still get the same storytelling approach and editing style that defines my work—just with her behind the camera!
How Does It Work?
All bookings go through me, Estelle! I’ll be the one emailing you, hopping on FaceTime to go over timelines and questions, and sending your contract. About 30 days before your wedding, we’ll schedule a call with you and Morgan so you can connect and get to know each other before the big day.
Morgan will be there to document every beautiful, emotional, and in-between moment of your wedding day with care and creativity.
If you’re not working with a planner, no worries — I’m here to guide you through the planning process! My Experience Guide is packed with tips to help you navigate each part of your day and keep things relaxed and joyful.
All of the editing is done by me, Estelle ! So your final gallery will have my signature style. I pay close attention to color, light, and detail to ensure your photos feel cohesive, heartfelt, and true to your day.
You’ll receive a little sneak peek within a week of your wedding and your full gallery will be ready within 10 weeks.
Interested in working with Morgan? Just reach out and I’ll send over the associate pricing guide. Packages with Morgan starts at $1300 + GST.
Let’s make sure your story is captured in the most meaningful way.
