Celebrating 10 years of capturing your brand’s moments!

This year marks a huge milestone: 10 years in business as a photographer.

What started as a side hustle has grown into a decade-long journey filled with creativity, connection, and countless shutter clicks. From my very first client shoot to documenting major corporate events, portraits, brand stories, and everything in between — every project has been an opportunity to grow and tell someone’s story in a meaningful way.

Over the past decade, I’ve:

  • Collaborated with over 160 satisfied clients to capture their corporate and community events, branding images, food/drink menus, and corporate headshots

  • Worked on over 1,400 photoshoots

  • Delivered over 138,000 photos

I’m incredibly grateful to every client, collaborator, and friend who has supported me over the years. Whether you were one of my first bookings or someone I’ve just met recently, your trust and encouragement has shaped this journey more than you know!

A new chapter: New brand, same vision

To celebrate this milestone, I teamed up with local designer Aaron McCall to create a fresh brand identity. This new look and feel is designed to propel me into the next 10 years, and to better showcase the work I love doing — helping brands stand out through powerful, polished photography.

I wanted something that kept the professionalism that Bryan Esler Photo has become known for, but added a bit of whimsy to things.

As Aaron describes it, “this logo is clean, confident, and grounded. The strong serif word mark paired with a modern sans creates depth and balance — it’s professional without feeling stiff, bold without being loud.

“The supporting icons plays a quiet, contemporary — but important — role, pulling letterforms from the logo to form a subtle nod to the initials and an abstract representation of a camera.”

I couldn’t be more excited to debut this new look! I’ll be rolling it out on several materials over the next few months.

I’ve got several more announcements coming … so stay tuned!
