Hire Candace immediately!!

Candace was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. I highly recommend you hire her now!! She captured the light, airy and romantic feel we wanted for our wedding perfectly! She gave us great instructions that made our photos look natural. She’s just so gosh darn good at her job. And the kindest sweetest person we met. The entire day was a dream come true because of her. We also did an engagement shoot. It was useful to practice posing and working together ahead of our wedding. On our wedding day the pics were stunning and filled with that glowy, flattering light. If you’re looking for an amazing photographer, Candace is the one for you. If you want someone who is a master of their craft and a true professional all-round, look no further. She offers something that not all photographers can – true artistry. Our wedding photos are completely unique to us and our event, they are not cookie-cutter in any way. We will treasure these photos forever. Thank you so much for capturing our day so beautifully!

The Best Wedding Photographer … Ever!

Candace is truly amazing. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she has a great heart. My wife and I absolutely love our wedding photos and will always smile when we reminisce about our special day. Candace played such a critical role in our wedding and we cannot thank her enough for the amazing job she did. Our expectations were sky high and she exceeded those by a mile. I’d highly recommend to book with her because not only will you be getting the best photographer, but also an incredible person.

Best investment we made for our wedding!

Candace is incredible! She is thoughtful, flexible, organized, communicative and has a way with making us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera.

If you're wondering whether you should book her... DO IT! I am a person who usually hates photos of myself and I LOVED every single photo that Candace captured of my wedding. She has an elegant, documentary style that is unlike others I have seen. She is worth the investment 100 times over. I will definitely book Candace for all future life moments as well!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
