Candace was our wedding photographer and she knocked it out of the park! My husband and I are both uncomfortable/unnatural in front of the camera and Candace made it feel effortless. She gently gave us direction on how to pose while still making it feel fun. Candace’s creativity led to some truly stunning photos. Her ability to assess an environment and know what shots will look best is impressive. I recommend Candace to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who will listen to your preferences and go above and beyond to capture your special day flawlessly. THANK YOU Candace!!

Candace is such a talented artist!!! The label "photographer" just doesn't do it justice. My hubby and I first met her for our engagement photo shoot and holy cow -- those photos were amazing!! They exceeded our expectations. We were very excited to see how our wedding day photos would look and let me tell you, they were even more amazing! Candace has such a unique eye. Her ability to make every picture a piece of art is unmatched. Everyone says our photos belong on the cover of a magazine, and I'd have to agree! The photos are probably the most investment you can make to ensure your day is captured and able to be relived via those images for years to come. If you're on the fence, please take my word for it and just book her! You won't regret it.

Hiring Candace Sims Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our July 2022 Chicago Wedding. From our very first video call with Candace, she made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Candace embodies professionalism and approachability, and overall made the decision to choose a photographer a simple one. Our package included an engagement shoot, which was very helpful. It gave us space to get to know Candace better pre-wedding and made us feel more at ease with taking so many photos. Even the poses that felt awkward during the shoot turned out stunning in the photos.

When Candace arrived on the wedding day it was like greeting a best friend. She was so energized, excited, and complimentary - which also showed when she was behind the lens. She was constantly hyping us and the wedding party up in the most genuine way. We also had to do some pivoting with our locations for wedding day photos, and Candace made it all work without stress or issue. She showed her creativity and eye for the right scenery and light in real time as we walked down Michigan avenue. Candace’s communication was always clear and prompt. She gave us a sneak peak of photos right away (including with beautiful reels/videos too) and set expectations clearly on timing for the full gallery.

We LOVE all of our photos, and will cherish them forever. They perfectly capture our joy, love, and all of our loved ones from our big day. We highly recommend Candace Sims Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Her pricing is completely worth it for the heart, soul, and skill she puts in. We hope to stay in touch with Candace for years and years to come. We are huge fans of Candace and her incredible work.
