    “Picture Perfect”

    From our consultation to our engagement shoot, Candace made us feel comfortable and did not have us worried the day of our wedding. Her assistant Megan did a great job as well. Very professional and organized. Cannot wait to see our wedding pictures

    Couldn't Be Happier!

    My husband and I are so glad that we found Candace Jeffery Photography! Maegan and Joe are amazing at what they do. Not only did they perfectly capture our day, but we also loved having them around! Maegan was so helpful throughout the whole process and her calmness allowed us to feel comfortable in front of the camera. We received gorgeous pictures from our engagement session and our wedding day that we will always cherish. We feel so fortunate to have worked with such wonderful and talented people on our special day!

    Candace Captured the Moment!

    I would HIGHLY recommend Candace for your wedding photographer! It was great to get to know her during our engagement session, which helped us feel completely comfortable at our wedding! Candace has a great eye for the "perfect picture" and really helped capture all of the special moments on our wedding day. With her partner, Meghan, we were able to capture all of the pictures of our family and friends, as well as great shots of me and my husband. I would definitely recommend Candace and her team, and plan to use her in the future!

    Our photos are breathtaking. Maegan and Joe from Candace Jeffery Photography are incredible at what they do. They supported us the entire day and made us feel like VIPs, capturing every special moment. We highly recommend!

    Amazing photographers

    Maegan and Joe did such an amazing job capturing all the details of our recent wedding at the Society Room in Hartford. They were very professional and they are so kind and friendly and I felt that they truly care about making the day wonderful. They captured all the pictures that i told them would be important to me as well. I would highly recommend them for your upcoming wedding!

    If you are in need of a wedding photographer look no further!

    Meagan and Joey truly know their craft! My husband does NOT like his photo taken and I was absolutely dreading our engagement shoot. The second we met up with them they made him feel comfortable and relaxed. We ended up having so much fun that when it was over he looked at me and said "That's it??" They really take the time to get to know what is important to you that you want remembered on your special day. We both have large families and for group shots they were very patient and flexible while we gathered everyone together. Worth every single penny and more! If you are thinking of having them for your wedding day what are you waiting for? BOOK THEM NOW!

    Absolutely Incredible

    I’m biased because I’ve always been OBSESSED with Candace’s work. But hiring her for our engagement pictures and our wedding was a no brainer. On top of being as sweet as could be, she makes you feel so natural during every moment of your special events. The way she captures exactly how you are feeling towards one another is something not many photographers can do. Anyone can take beautiful pictures, but the way Candace helps you become comfortable enough to show how you feel in front of a camera is magical. Any time we look back at our pictures, we can remember the feelings we felt in those moments. They are certainly something we will cherish forever to help us remember the pure bliss we felt, especially on our Wedding Day!

    We could not have asked for a better person to capture the moments of our special day. Candace and her associate photographer Anthony went above and beyond our expectations. Not only were the photos absolutely beautiful and timeless, but they also made it easy by giving us great direction throughout the very busy day. Candace also helped us find our videographer and they worked incredibly well as a team. Looking at her pictures, you will see for yourself her high quality of work, but working with her personally was wonderful. She really puts you at ease!

    If you are thinking of doing a boudoir shoot, you absolutely must use Candace.
    I was recommended to Candace by a friend who had used her the year before who raved about her finished product. I wanted to give my husband a nice album as a wedding gift, but I was obviously nervous about being in such a vulnerable position with a stranger.

    In the end, the shoot ended up not only being a gift for my husband, but for myself as well. If you have any ideas of doing a boudoir shoot, my advice is to jump in without any hesitation!

    The price included exceptional hair and makeup by an incredibly skilled artist, which I noticed a lot of other photographers did not include. After hair and makeup, I got into my first outfit and Candace started shooting. After just a few clicks, she had me perfectly relaxed and not feeling self conscious or nervous at all. I ended up changing into three outfits total for the shoot.

    I knew that a few shots had come out looking great since Candace had shown me some while we were working, but when I returned to see everything fully edited, I was floored. Each and every shot came out absolutely stunning. I couldn't believe it!

    Waiting the two weeks to see my album was torture, I was so excited to see the final product! When it finally arrived, I nearly died at how perfect it was.

    So did my husband.

    Candace was a true professional from initial contact to final follow up. She was quick to respond and provided excellent advice. He set up for the shoot was warm and inviting and immediately put me at ease.

    Maegan and Joe were such a perfect part of our wedding day! They were one of the first vendors that we booked after our venue and we were so happy with everything that they did for us. Maegan was great at directing and corralling our large bridal party (18 including my husband and I) and she did a great job at keeping us on schedule while also ensuring that she captured everything on our shoot list. Our pictures turned out so beautifully - they truly captured the essence of each part of the day so well and I know that I will treasure the pictures for many years to come!

    Simply The Best!

    I have followed Candace for a little while now as I have always admired her work. When my Fiancé and I got engaged it was an easy decision on who we wanted for our engagement photos. It’s always easier to admire other couples photos but when it comes to your own I feel like you always think maybe some shots will look odd or they just aren’t going to come out as nice as others you have seen. Boy was I wrong. Per usual, the shots were absolutely gorgeous. They were true to the moment, sincere and the photos captured Chris and I perfectly. They are photos we were so excited to share with family and friends and will look back on for years to come. Candace will also be shooting our wedding and we know those will blow us away juts like our engagement shoot did!

    If you want beautiful memories to remember your big day by, you will not be the least bit disappointed by having Candace Jeffery shoot your day.

    Maegan and Joe of CJP were professional, personable and so easy/fun to work with. They really listened to what we were looking for, must-have photos and also gave great suggestions on logistics (especially with our large bridal party!). My husband and I each had one of them by our side getting ready and I am so happy we did. Maegan made me feel so relaxed on our wedding day and really went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure everything went smoothly. Most importantly, Maegan and Joe are incredibly talented. Our photos came out STUNNING! They have a great eye and I love the combination of the style of photos - informal and natural portraits, candids of laughter, tears and some pretty intense dancing. Thank you so much to Maegan and Joe for capturing our day so beautifully!

    Maegan and Joe were such incredible photographers for our wedding, and exceptional people! I had several phone meetings leading up to the wedding and we had an intro skype call in advance of booking this dynamic duo to ensure our personalities were compatible. I had an extremely detailed wedding plan and timeline, these two were so accommodating and did everything they possibly could to make sure we captured as many photos as possible. I had planned for four different shoot locations pre-wedding and we were able to shoot everything due to their skill and ability to quickly capture each special moment. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, they slid into the background to catch more candid moments, and took control when they needed to corral the wedding party, our families, or anyone else involved in pictures that were included in my “must have shot list.” They nailed the day-of execution and were, again, so accommodating when it came time to sort out our photo album. They took time to get to know us in advance of the wedding so we were comfortable with them day-of, it was so nice having these two be a part of our day. Check out their photos online, if their photographic style matches the kind of photos you’re looking for your wedding, I assure you their professionalism, character, value and experience will leave you 100% satisfied, can’t recommend them enough!!!

    Candace and Josh were absolutely AMAZING for our wedding. I am usually a pretty shy person, but Candace kept me at ease. She was even very gracious when I was trying to wrangle some family members for a group shot. We were able to get a flash drive of all of our photos within three weeks of our wedding, which was so wonderful. All of the photos turned out beautifully, exactly what we wanted!

    Candace and Josh captured our wedding exactly how we imagined. They came highly recommend by a friend and it was a no brained we were going to hire them. We met with Candace many times before our wedding and she knew exactly what we wanted. We love their artistic style and usage of natural light to make their pictures perfect. They were both extremely professional with great personalities; Candace even helped me with my bustle when no one else could figure it out! Ultimately our photographs are amazing and we cannot wait to put some on our walls in our house!

    We got our pictures back a few weeks ago, and we are just so so happy. Candace and Josh captured every little detail, from beautiful pictures of my table numbers to great candid shots of our guests. Working with Candace up to the wedding was super easy, and she had great suggestions for the day and our first look location. At the wedding, they are super professional and you barely notice they are there. I would recommend Candace and Josh 100%!

    Candace and Josh are absolutely amazing. They are kind, professional and personable and really went above and beyond to ensure that we felt at ease on our wedding day. Candace is excellent at giving direction and ensuring that everyone is standing where they need to for the best shot. I have been in weddings where the photographer is unable to keep order and it feels like chaos. This was the complete opposite. Every shot felt organized and purposeful and it made the day run very smoothly. We met with Candace multiple times before the wedding and it allowed us to get to know each other. She truly made us feel like our wedding was important to her and I knew that I could trust her and Josh on our wedding day. We have only seen a sneak peek of our wedding photos but I am so pleased with what she was able to capture on our wedding day. They both have incredible talent and you can definitely tell the difference between her photos and other photographers. I would highly recommend Candace Jeffery Photography to anyone looking for fabulous photos. Thank you!

    Jeff and I had the opportunity to work with all of the photographers at Candace Jeffery Photography. We cannot say enough nice things about Candace and Josh and their associate photographers Maegan and Joe! They were more than accommodating throughout the whole year in planning for our wedding. They respond very quickly, are very professional, creative, and a blast to work with. We did our engagement shoot with Maegan and Joe and had a lot of fun just being our silly selves; they captured our relationship so well! They would always be available for advice or even recommendations as we were planning for our wedding. We were unsure if Maegan and Joe were going to be available for our wedding day, without any doubt, Candace and Josh stepped in assuring us they would be available if they needed to step in. Candace and Josh ended up photographing our wedding day and we cannot thank them enough for capturing every special moment! Candace is very easy to work with and it was as if we had shot together before. Our guests complimented how they shot our wedding, being very humble and respectful of everyone. I do not remember seeing them during our ceremony, yet they captured such beautiful photos as if they were right there in front of us. As always, nothing ever goes as planned and we were behind schedule once we arrived at our reception. Candace and Josh stepped up and made sure to capture everyone and everything we wanted in a timely manner. During cocktail hour Candace was even working with our other vendors to make sure everything happened how we wanted, she even helped bustle my dress! We hope others have the opportunity to work with everyone at Candace Jeffery Photography, you will have a lot of fun and love your photos!

    Working with Candace and Josh was such a pleasure. They are professional, personable and so talented. They gave us suggestions for first look pictures in relation to our venue and made sure to take note of what types of pictures we wanted. During the first look and family portraits Candace and Josh were able to give good directions to help make the process go smoothly- this was a huge help with my large bridal party (and freezing/ rainy weather)! They are fun to work with which made me feel less stressed and made the process effortless. Not to mention the pictures are beautiful. Using Candace and Josh was one of the best decisions my husband and I could have made to make our wedding day PERFECT! She was able to capture all the special moments that will allow us to look at years from now and relive the whole day. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing pictures on their wedding day!

    Candace and Josh did a fantastic job capturing our wedding day with their amazing shots! We absolutely love our photos and re-living the day through them. They are both extremely professional, accommodating, and very easy to work with. Their work is truly beautiful and unique. Candace was also very helpful throughout our planning process. We're not from the Connecticut area and she gave us suggestions for our first look and bridal party portraits. She helped us put together a great plan for the day. We're so happy we chose Candace and Josh as our photographers and can't stop looking at our wedding photos!

    My husband George and I were blown away by the professionalism Candace and her husband Josh have. It was a nerve-wracking day for us, but they made us feel so comfortable, relaxed, and at ease. We spent the day enjoying the moments instead of feeling uptight. From the moment Candace walked in while the girls and I were getting ready, I felt like she was a part of the bridal party and not just the photographer. The important thing is that they really listen to the vision your going for. From pictures you want to take, or don't want to take, to a pose or side you might favor, they truly hear you and that's an awesome feeling to walk away with. They captured every moment from our wedding so beautifully and we had such a blast with them as well. They're super professional, yet very personable which makes it a breeze! If any brides are looking for photographers that you don't have to micromanage; these two are it!!

    My husband and I absolutely can not say enough good things about Candace and Josh. They are professional, calm, and amazingly talented. My new husband absolutely hates taking pictures and I worried about how he would do with it all on our wedding day. From the moment Josh arrived to start taking pictures he said he felt very calmed by Josh and his directions. Throughout the entire day Candace and Josh were professional, great with direction when needed, and went above and beyond for us! We are so incredibly lucky to have had them with us on our special day! Can't wait till the next time we get to work with them!!! THANK YOU Candace and Josh :)

    We are so happy we had Candace as our photographer for our wedding in July! Her photos are flawless, she is so easy to work with and her and her husband Josh make the perfect team! Our engagement session was so much fun despite a little rain and it was the perfect opportunity to get to know Candace and learn a little bit about how to pose for photos before the big day. After being part of other weddings, Candace's experience has been unmatched - she was able to efficiently capture all of our large group photos as well as a huge assortment of fun reception photos! It was also nice to know we had someone who knew a little more than us about things like putting a veil on or bustling a dress in case we ran into trouble :) Candace is attentive to detail, super talented and her and Josh worked so well together capturing memories that we will look back on for years to come! We can't wait for more photo ops in the future!

    Candace and her husband Josh make an incredible team and are worth every penny! You only get to capture these memories once and Candace has an incredible talent to capture all of these moments beautifully. During our engagement session we were immediately put at ease when we met Candace. She gave us tips and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She will also place you in different settings in the chosen location to get as many beautiful and diverse pictures as possible. On our wedding day Candace spent the morning with me and my bridesmaids, taking pictures as we got ready, and taking pictures of our invitations and other special details. She even helped me get into my dress! Meanwhile her husband Josh was with my husband and groomsmen taking pictures as they got ready. The two were in communication so that my husband and I wouldn't run into each other before the wedding. After the ceremony the duo took photos of our bridal party and families and sent them on their way so they may enjoy the cocktail hour. Meanwhile were able to take photos of just my husband and I before the reception, and they even stole us for a moment toward the end to take some more photos of just the two of us on the wedding venue grounds. She also had previously worked with many of my vendors so it made it very easy to coordinate things for the special day. Her photos are amazing and you will feel so beautiful in front of the camera! Candace and Josh are professional, easy to work with, and incredibly talented. We can't recommend them enough!

    I cannot say enough great things about Candace and Josh. The first picture I had ever seen from CJP was about 6 years ago, and I have been following her work ever since and knew there was no other option for a photographer at my wedding. I proactively booked my venue a year and a half before my wedding because I needed to ensure Candace was available on my wedding day, and I am so thankful I did. Candace is so well organized and attentive to her brides. When I asked for suggestions on other wedding vendors her advice was spot on and I was able to assemble a group that I completely trusted and that took so much stress off the day of the wedding, knowing I had nothing to worry about. We had a very large and outgoing wedding party and Candace & Josh didn’t even bat an eye, they kept everyone focused and where they were supposed to be and made sure to get all the photographs taken that I had asked for (and then so many more) all while feeling so comfortable, like they were friends we had known forever. Candace and Josh have a way of turning ordinary settings into incredible pictures, almost to the point where whenever I look at other photographers the photos look amateur. They are so talented and their photos stand out from the crowd. I 100% trusted that our pictures would come out absolutely perfect, and they did. They captured the moments from the best day of our lives so beautifully, and I cannot thank them enough. I have recommended CJP to all the brides I know, and many of my friends have also used them. I look forward to working with Candace in the future.
