Amazing Wedding Photographers

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Doug, Georgi, and the entire team at Candid Moments Photography! They were very communicative and responsive throughout the entire planning process, and they brought that sense of ease and organization to our wedding day as well. We both hate getting our photos taken, but they immediately made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and all of our photos are absolutely beautiful! Doug and Georgi perfectly captured the venue, all of the day’s events, and other special moments. They were also really flexible when we unexpectedly had to pause our first look session, and they added time to our sunset photo session so we could get more photos together, which was really nice. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Candid Moments Photography, and we highly recommend them for your wedding!

Stunning Photos!

Simply the best! Doug drove 4 hrs for our wedding, went a day early to scope out the best spots for our photos as it was a new location for him, stayed an extra hour because "the party just started," made taking pictures so comfortable, and delivered the most beautiful photos! You won't regret it! Married 9/8/23.

10/10 Photographer!!!

Doug and his second shooter were next level amazing. They were true professionals and led the day - even in the 90 degree heat. Every little detail was thought out by both of them. From the moment Doug arrived, I knew things were going to run smoothly. He was also everywhere the entire day. Ever little kiss and bizarre dance move was captured by him. Our families and guests were all SUPER impressed. We are so beyond excited to get our photographs and can’t thank Candid Moments enough for making our day so special!

Belles Wedding 4-1-2023

Doug and his team at Candid Moments Photography were fantastic. From our first conversation all the way up to the wedding day, Doug listened to our concerns and offered guidance/suggestions. During our engagement shoot, he worked around the terrible weather and managed to get so many wonderful photos! On the day of the wedding he and Alex worked efficiently and did their best to again navigate around the weather in order to get the best shots possible. I would highly recommend hiring them and look forward to seeing how the photos of our wedding day turn out.

Best Wedding Photographer Ever!!

I cannot save enough great things about Doug and his team at Candid Moments! They coached us through all the most romantic poses, captured the beauty of our surroundings, and were the perfect amount of attentiveness to us throughout the day. From our first phone call with Doug to our final photos in our Rolls Royce exit vehicle they made our experience so enjoyable & unforgettable. Highly highly recommend!!

Absolutely perfect!

Doug, Alex, and the entire Candidate Moments Team were perfect from start to finish. They were personable, professional, and understanding throughout our wedding planning (3 postponements with COVID). They exceed our expectations in capturing our special day. They are truly skilled and talented in what they do! Can’t recommend enough!

Perfect wedding photographers!

Candid moments was the perfect company to use for my wedding photography. I had a ton of questions before deciding on a photographer and Doug answered every one of them. Both Doug and Georgi were the photographers at my wedding and they captured every moment I could’ve asked for. I got married at the Ballroom at Ellis Preserve and they were familiar with the venue and made sure to get shots at all of the beautiful spots outside. Doug really helped me figure out a timeline for the day of the wedding that would make everything run smoothly and not tire the guys out by starting them too early. To top it all off, candid moments are very affordable and they even allowed me to personalize my package. I was able to select what parts of the package I wanted or didn’t need to come up with something that worked perfectly for my wedding. I truly appreciate candid moments and the spectacular job they did with capturing my big day! I definitely recommend them!

Great Experience!

We made such a great choice choosing Candid Moments! We chose the more affordable option, which was to have them 'assign' two photographers, as opposed to us choosing. Our photographers were Rustin and Daniel, and our pictures turned out amazing! We've received so many compliments, and we're so happy with the results, I can't stop looking at them! I especially love the reception photos, I barely even noticed them taking pictures, but they captured such wonderful shots that showed how much fun everyone was having. It was overall just a really pleasant experience working with them, Gina was so friendly and responsive as well. We highly recommend Candid Moments!

Highly Recommended - Great Photos and Fun/Professional on the Wedding Day

Everyone we spoke to from Candid Moments Photography was polite, helpful and professional. I spoke with Doug over the phone who was very helpful guiding us about our wedding day schedule. We opted for a first look so we could take formal pictures before the ceremony and kept our photographer throughout the night to take candid photos of the reception.

Kevin was our photographer and he was wonderful. He was friendly and funny, and we felt completely at ease as he took our formal photos / family pictures. We got all the shots we were looking for.

The turnaround was quick - about a month after the wedding we had the digital copies of our photos. Our package also included two prints and those were great too.

Highly recommended and at a great price too!

Better than Disney!

We could not be happier with the service we had with Candid Moments! We actually had two weddings - a small one in Disney and a larger one back home in Philly. Honestly, we didn't think that anything could beat our Disney pictures. Let me tell you, we were wrong. Our pictures are even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! We worked specifically with Georgi and Adam, who endured extreme heat to take our photos. They were an absolute dream to work with and had wonderful ideas to incorporate our families and make the whole picture process enjoyable (even with the heat!). Our family and friends also noted how kind and sweet the two gentlemen were throughout the whole day! Most notably, we had issues with the managers of our venue the day of the wedding, and our videographer was unable to be a part of one part of the day. Doug, the owner of Candid Moments, sent us a very sweet email explaining the whole situation before it even became an issue with us. He handled the whole thing so well and we could not be happier with our end result! My cousin will actually be using Candid Moments for her wedding next year and my sister also has plans to do a shoot with them as well! We really could not be more pleased!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
