Candice Marie Photography

Wow, just wow! We were lucky enough to get our engagement photos taken while vacationing in Japan with a different photographer so we we were hesitant to book a photographer in the states without having had an engagement shoot. Candice was an easy choice - she agreed to meet with us so we can get a feel for her personality and her personality was was so warm and calming, we knew we made the right choice. We were supposed to have our big reception in 2020 but opted for a small backyard ceremony instead. We can't thank Candice enough for being so flexible and making planning a wedding during a pandemic a little easier.

We finally had our wedding in November and I'm just in awe of her beautiful work and professionalism. Candice and Josh arrived on time and kept us on schedule. On our way to our first-look my wedding dress strap completely came undone and Candice's calming energy really helped me keep my cool. She was able to capture photos in a way that hid the flaw as we waited for my mother-in-law to sew the strap back together! Honestly can't believe how calm I was but I do think I owe a lot of it to Candice. We are over-the-moon with the photos taken and appreciate how they kept group shots moving smoothly and were just so fun to have around! We are both not camera people at all and they helped us relax and enjoy the process. I would book Candice for any future photography needs, she's just the sweetest and her photography is stunning!

Working with Candice as our wedding photographer was an absolute gift. From the moment we connected, she understood my vision completely and captured it with such grace and ease. Our wedding at the Gardens at Los Robles Greens was already a dream, but the way Candice documented it brought everything to life in a way that words can't quite describe.

She didn’t just take photos — she preserved the emotion, the connection, and the love between my husband and me with such authenticity. Every image feels alive and full of heart. What truly touched me most was the way she honored the memory of my late father. Those moments she captured are now some of my most treasured keepsakes, and I will be forever grateful for her sensitivity and care.

Candice is not only incredibly talented, but also genuinely compassionate and thoughtful. She made us feel so comfortable and supported throughout the day, and her calming presence allowed us to just be ourselves. I can’t imagine having had anyone else behind the lens — she made the experience unforgettable in every way.

Candice, is an amazing photographer. She knows what she is doing and has all the right poses and more you can think of. This was a very important moment for me and my wife and she was able to help us every step of the way. She knows the SB courthouses and all the picture perfect areas and more !

My husband and I had Candice as our engagement and wedding photographer and she was wonderful. She was always responsive and communicated well during the photo session process. She always made us feel comfortable during our photo sessions as well. She is such a great photographer. Any couple or anyone that hires her to be their photographer made the right decision. If any other big moments in our life happen, we will want Candice to capture those moments.

My husband and I are so grateful for Candice! She is not only a truly talented photographer but she’s also one of the most genuinely kind people I have ever met. Her photoshoots are fun and she makes you feel so comfortable. She took absolutely amazing and dreamy pictures for our engagement photoshoot. During our wedding Candice and her assistant were very organized and professional. I literally cried with happiness when I saw the final photos, she captured our wedding day beautifully. If you want gorgeous photos that you will cherish forever then hire Candice! We cannot recommend her enough!

Candice was a pleasure to work with! Very responsive to emails and communications. My husband was worried that a photographer would take us out of the moment but Candice put us right at ease and captured the day beautifully! We were truly able to be present in the day. She has an incredible eye for lighting and angles. I can't say enough good things about her. We are so in love with our photos and feel that they captured the day perfectly.

We booked Candice for our smaller wedding in Santa Barbara (~50 people). We wanted to keep our wedding smaller and more intimate, and Candice was super helpful when booking by providing multiple different package options to customize to our specific desires.
On the day of our wedding she was really flexible and super easy to work with. We felt she matched our vibe and made us feel really comfortable when taking photos. We were nervous we would be uncomfortable or unnatural during couple photos but it felt super easy and quick. All our photos came out beautiful and everything was captured perfectly. Can’t recommend Candice enough!

Candice was our photographer for our April 2023 wedding and we are so happy with the choice we made! She is professional, easy going, and extremely talented. She was able to control our rowdy bridal party and made taking hundreds of photos a really fun experience for everyone. We're so happy with the photos we received, they were delivered on time and are excellent quality. A few months after we received the photos, I realized we missed a really important "must" photo so I reached out to her and she was so accommodating and helped to photoshop an existing photo so that we had something to work with. I really, really appreciated this gesture and I think it's a good example of her character and professionalism. You won't regret working with Candice, I can't recommend her enough.

Candice is simply amazing! Working with her was so comfortable, she immediately put me and my wedding party at ease. She fit right in, and doing portraits with her is just fun! I was worried we wouldn’t have enough time to take all the family photos I wanted after the ceremony, but she is so efficient! We knocked the photos out and my husband and I had time for a moment alone before finishing up our portraits. I could not recommend Candice enough for anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

We cannot say enough good things about Candice. She took our engagement photos and Wedding photos and they look absolutely beautiful. Her professionalism and warmth truly made us and our guests feel at ease taking photos and she really captured the essence of our day. Our families and friends continue to tell us how much they liked her. Highly recommend her for your special day!
