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 loved working with Candace!
We had a wonderful experience working with Candace. Starting with the engagement shoot, which she includes at no cost for wedding packages, we appreciated her warmth, creativity, and guidance. She offered recommendations while also incorporating our ideas and values. She takes her work seriously -- finding the perfect light and backdrop for our photos. During the wedding weekend, she was timely, professional, and kind. We were genuinely happy to see her again. She provided a calm amidst the wedding weekend chaos. The photos are gorgeous! We can't wait to see more, and would recommend working with Candace! -

Can’t go wrong with Candace!
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!! -

The most beautiful engagement and wedding images!!
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. -

BEST Vendor Decision - hire Candace!!
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.-

Candace is THE BEST
Candace is AMAZING. She truly made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable at our engagement shoot. My fiancé hates pictures, but he couldn’t help but rave about Candace after our photo session! It was like working with a friend! She is so charismatic and knows how to make you feel and look amazing. -

Candace is the best!
Candace is hands down the best vendor we worked with throughout the wedding process. She was responsive, reliable, professional, but also incredibly personable, warm, friendly, and has a way to make you feel comfortable. My brother actually thought Candace was one of my friends and after this process I do feel like I can consider her a friend. And her photos... wow! Her photos are breathtaking. She has a soft/vintage style that will make anyone look good. Just scroll through her instragram and see for yourself. We had several compliments on the way our photos turned out. HIRE CANDACE!!! -

Brilliant Wedding Photographer
Candace was all we could have asked for in our wedding photographer. We originally met Candace while she was shooting a wedding that we were attending as a guest. We admired her work and knew as soon as we got engaged we wanted her for our wedding. She got to know our unique preferences and really customized our experience to fit our vision. She gave us the best keepsakes from our rustic, farm wedding. We loved her so much, we actually referred our best friends to her for their wedding as well! I recommend her to anyone who is lucky enough to get her before she is booked!-

Thank you!
I could not have asked for a better person to work with for our wedding day. Candace is a beacon of light and suffered through rain AND freezing temps to shoot the most beautiful photos of us on our day. You can’t even tell we were all freezing when you look at the photos. Her work is absolutely amazing and her personality made me feel so comfortable and at ease all day. I cannot thank her enough for capturing our true selves. I highly recommend reaching out to her for any of your photography needs. ♥️ -

Thank you Candace!
As soon as I saw her photographs, I just fell in love. The moment I spoke to Candace, I knew she is going to our photographer. She is super friendly, funny, and professional. She was our photographer, but also became our friend and family. She really touched my heart throughout the whole wedding planning phase and the wedding day! Candace even provided timeline of the wedding day, which was very helpful for me to know what to expect at what time. I didn't have a wedding planner so this was such a huge PLUS for me!! She guided us throughout the wedding day to make sure we are not missing/forgetting anything. You will never regret if you work with Candace. I highly recommend her!! -

Amazing and so easy to work with!
I highly recommend Candace! She was so easy to work with. She made me and my husband feel comfortable right away during engagement pictures, which translated to amazing pictures on our wedding day! She scopes out our venue prior to our day and had planned shooting locations for us to review prior to the wedding. She also had photos to us incredibly fast after the wedding. I had so many people comment on how beautiful our pictures are! I couldn’t have picked anyone better to shoot our day! -

We met with a couple of photographers before deciding to go with Candace. Right away we had a different feeling and the decision to hire her was so easy to make. She is so friendly and personable. Throughout the entire process she was professional and thorough. I found her packages to be very competitive. We a lot for our money!!! The first time we worked with her was for our engagement shoot. Candace is SO fun to shoot with. She made us feel for comfortable and didn’t rush us at all. We got our photos back really quickly and there were a lot of them! Leading up to the wedding, Candace kept in communication and made sure we were prepared with a detailed timeline. Her and her second shooter did a great job capturing so much of our day. We got even more pictures than I thought we would and I have so many favorites! I would recommend Candace to anyone for their special day. -

Seriously loved working with Candace and everyone else on her team. She did such an amazing job capturing all of the best parts of our wedding day! We could not be happier with how all of the pictures turned out and with how she kept our bridal party energetic and smiling the whole time. The only small thing that we did not like was that some of our pictures started zoomed out and then they zoomed in cutting out people in the bridal party and also not having nicely spaced out photos. Otherwise, everything Candace did was fantastic, she is so fun and easy to work with and would use her again in a heart beat! -

Candace is one of the most down-to-earth/ball of positive energy all rolled into one person, you’ll ever meet! We found Candace back in spring 2017 and I knew after our first conversation she is who I wanted to photograph our wedding... and let me say I was super picky because photography was the vendor I was most excited about!! She shot our engagement last summer and I immediately felt like we were true friends that I’ve known for a long time... she just gives off that vibe. The vision she had for those engagement photos literally brought tears to my eyes once I saw them. Since we booked her a year out from our wedding, I’d heard you don’t hear from a lot of vendors until closer to the wedding, but with Candace, that isn’t the case at all. She is so passionate about what she does that she truly takes the time to get to know the couples. She and I would talk on Instagram on a weekly basis! I loved it!!!! Fast forward to wedding day... best day of my life with a lot of that due to her! She helped to create a perfect wedding day timeline that I shared with my wedding party which really helped to keep things on track. She was sweet, hilarious, and made EVERYONE feel so comfortable in front of the camera! She got all the shots I really hoped for and then some!! She really is amazing. At the end of the night, she felt like part of our family... and our whole family said the same thing! Can’t tell you how many people complimented her and how many of my engaged friends wanted her info by the end of the night! She received many referrals just based off our wedding because of how incredible she is. Can’t say enough good things about Candace! We love you!!!! -

Candace provided me with the absolute best service I could ask for. From professionalism to flexibility she was nothing less then a five star. For anyone having a hard time picking between photographers all I can say is not only was the work Candace provided absolutely stunning but her entire attitude and personality was just so upbeat and energetic and both my husband and I really appreciated that. The fact that Candace was so energetic and excited made us feel so special on our day just made the entire experience so enjoyable for a stressed out wedding couple. Candace took her time with out rushing even with all the inconveniences during the wedding. While we had many setbacks on the wedding day both her and her coworker (Luis Malagon films) were the most patient and cooperative people to work with. I can't thank Candace enough for proving us with the most beautiful pictures and amazing pictures capturing them. I would pick Candace in a heartbeat for any photoshoots I would need in the future. Thank you Candace! -

Candace was such a pleasure to work with during our engagement session. My fiancé and I are both camera shy, but she helped us feel at ease immediately. Since we felt so comfortable, she was able to capture the true (slightly quirky) elements of our relationship. I also follow her on Instagram and love seeing her talented solo and family portraits. I'll happily recommend her to my friends that are searching for a photographer! -
