Danielle and Grant | Just One

Brittany — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 01:22:39 +0000

I’m back after visiting six countries and summer. Yes, I visited summer and it was absolutely lovely.

Today I had the delight of meeting with Danielle and Grant for the first part of their engagement session. It was so frigid today in Calgary with flurries that developed to drifting snow, which then became blowing snow (yes these are technical terms in Canada) right when we started their shoot. Needless to say the primary concept of this session was to ‘cuddle’ and ‘keep each other warm’. Thankfully they are perfectly capable of both of these and look so sweet doing so even if it was -20C/-5F with windchill. Just one for now.

Happy couples make me happy.

Travels

I am absolutely thrilled to share that until February 24th I am going to be in Central and South America photographing an organization’s projects and seeing parts of Argentina and Chile. Documenting people and culture is something I am deeply passionate about since having the opportunity to photograph the Mam people in the western highlands of Guatemala in May of 2010 (images here). I can hardly describe how thankful and excited I am to have these upcoming experiences and to share them here.

You will still be able to get in touch with me through my contact form located in the menu or by email at info[@]brittanyesther.com however it may take a couple of days for me to respond depending on the internet situation. I would absolutely love to speak to you about your upcoming wedding or engagement and would be happy to set-up an online meeting or phone call while I am away.

One more thing to share.

I’m a touch (and a bit) behind on blogging right now but want to share this one image. Trisha and Matt’s Emerald Lake Lodge wedding makes me want to gush about how wonderful family and friends and love and weddings are.

Kelly and Adam | Canmore Wedding

Brittany — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:52:34 +0000

A wedding nestled in the Rocky Mountains with a bride and groom that deeply adore each other and their closest family and friends can hardly be more enjoyable. From meeting Kelly and Adam last year to photographing their engagement session and witnessing and documenting their wedding day, I can honestly say I am so fortunate to have this job. I hesitate to call it a job because it is so much more. From the cocoa served at their outdoor ceremony, the knitted flags by mothers and grandparents, the inclusion of photographs from marriages before, it was all about Kelly and Adam.

Enjoy

Thanks for looking! Would love to hear from you!

Sawyer | Just Two

Such a lovely family.

More to come later but if you want to see Mr. Sawyer when 30 minutes young you can see his birth story on my personal blog.

Alex and Aaron | Just One

A rather different one image from Alex and Aaron’s Banff ceremony this afternoon.

Wendi and Sam | Just One

Brittany — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 23:04:18 +0000

So hands down the best part of my two month road trip was meeting people. Particularly people like Wendi and Sam in Michigan. I’ll talk more about them later but they are all kinds of amazing.

Lots of stuff happening right now in the office, wediting (aka. wedding editing) being the largest component and I will openly admit, I tear up reliving moments of couple’s wedding days. I have such an amazing job it makes me grin. Can hardly wait to share these weddings and couples.

Kelly and Adam | Just One

Yesterday Kelly and Adam were married at Stewart Creek Golf Course. Outside. It snowed.

So delightful.

Road Trippin’

Brittany — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 23:26:59 +0000

Hey everyone!

Sorry for how quiet it has been on the blog. I am currently on what feels like the last leg of a two month road trip around (quite literally) the United States. Two provinces and sixteen states down. Two provinces, eleven states and one capitol to go. Of course you can still contact me through email or blog commenting or telepathy if you have such powers.

There are some scant thoughts and images on my personal blog, Wandering Homebody if you care to look.

Hope everyone is enjoying the LOVELY autumn. I miss all you Canadians and flashing signal lights.

(My rough plan. It’s changed a bit. You get the general idea though)

Kelly and Adam | The Engagement

Kelly and Adam are getting married! It’s going to be all kinds of amazing!
