    10/10 Photographer!!!

    Doug and his second shooter were next level amazing. They were true professionals and led the day - even in the 90 degree heat. Every little detail was thought out by both of them. From the moment Doug arrived, I knew things were going to run smoothly. He was also everywhere the entire day. Ever little kiss and bizarre dance move was captured by him. Our families and guests were all SUPER impressed. We are so beyond excited to get our photographs and can’t thank Candid Moments enough for making our day so special!

    Belles Wedding 4-1-2023

    Doug and his team at Candid Moments Photography were fantastic. From our first conversation all the way up to the wedding day, Doug listened to our concerns and offered guidance/suggestions. During our engagement shoot, he worked around the terrible weather and managed to get so many wonderful photos! On the day of the wedding he and Alex worked efficiently and did their best to again navigate around the weather in order to get the best shots possible. I would highly recommend hiring them and look forward to seeing how the photos of our wedding day turn out.

    Absolutely perfect!

    Doug, Alex, and the entire Candidate Moments Team were perfect from start to finish. They were personable, professional, and understanding throughout our wedding planning (3 postponements with COVID). They exceed our expectations in capturing our special day. They are truly skilled and talented in what they do! Can’t recommend enough!

    Amazing overall experience

    I am beyond satisfied that I used Candid Moments Photography for my wedding. I’m ecstatic! Ten years ago I was in a wedding that they did, and ever since then I have followed them on social media and their website. Photography is a big part of my life, and it was one of the most important aspects of my wedding. I made the right choice with Candid Moments, and Doug and Georgi were amazing, professional, and I was right to completely entrust such an important day to them. I’m in love with the photos and their talent. And not only that, the entire process from start to finish has been easy and enjoyable. Gina was only a quick email away and she helped make the process simple and exciting. You can’t go wrong with this team!

    Candid Moments were exactly what we were looking for!

    After looking through various vendors in our wedding area we chose Candid Moments Photography to do our wedding, and we made the right choice! From the beginning, Doug (the owner) and Gina (their office manager) were so good about communication and expectations. They clearly laid out what each package included, took the time to see what we wanted out of our wedding photography and helped us choose the right package for us. We did not feel pressured for an up-sell or add-ons that we really did not want. During the planning process, Doug was fantastic, but he’s a busy guy (Because he and his other photographers are amazing)! Gina was AMAZING when it came to communication. And Doug took the time to conference call us a few times while planning the event to help with photography timelines, offer suggestions and make sure we were getting what we wanted. We really appreciated his help and expertise. On the big day though, our photographer was Kevin – and we could not have been happier with him. He called us the week before to finalize timelines, again – offer suggestions and make sure everything was in order. From that phone call we could tell that we were going to have a good time working with Kevin. On the day of, Kevin made sure we had his contact information and kept in constant contact leading up to and during the events. He helped staged the perfect “first look” photographs, and really made the whole process a lot of fun! During the ceremony, I must admit that I was not focused on Kevin, only on my husband to be. But, after doing our first look photos and outdoors portraits before the ceremony – we knew he’d capture everything we wanted. After the ceremony he did an awesome job of keeping to our timeline and commanding the attention of our family – which let’s be honest, for any family – it’s like herding cats. But, they listened to him – we got all our requested family shots with time to spare. At the reception we did our thing and Kevin continued to photograph what we were looking for – the venue, people portraits, candid moments, the details, etc. Our guests were even having a great time with him. I honestly cannot wait to see our photos, I just know that Kevin was the perfect person to capture our big day – and we could not be happier with him and the whole Candid Moments Photography team. They were amazing, and we would recommend them to anyone. Thank you!

    Candid Moments Photography is AMAZING! Doug Burns and Niki Brennan are two of the sweetest people and Doug is a genius with the camera. Not only are the pictures absolutely amazing, but most of the time, I didn't even see Doug taking pictures! He was an integral part of such an important day and you hardly knew he was there! Our guests were so impressed with the variety of pictures he took and the slide show he displayed at the wedding for the guests to see was wonderful! I cannot thank Candid Moments enough for making an already special day even more memorable.

    AMAZING!!!! Doug and company are amazing to work with and have the most beautiful photographic eye. i ended up with exquisite pictures which is making it incredibly difficult to pick which ones to enlarge ). We also used them for our engagement pictures, which again were amazing.

    Doug is FABULOUS!!! I looked at over 100 photographers online and in my eyes no one compared to Candid Moments. We took our engagement pictures at a ski resort and they went right up to the top of the mountain with us and then our wedding day i was blown away with what he did for us. I had told him what type of setting i was looking for-for they day of our wedding to get some pictures. I wanted rustic charm ..and old barn, stone walls, big fields, etc. Well he nailed it and went to this persons house who he didn't know and asked if we could borrow there property for 1 hour. They were more then happy to help us. You wont find that in any other photographer. Bottom line you will be sorry if you dont give Doug a chance and go to his studio and look at his work. Some people think he is alittle pricey but he was a good couple hundred dollars less then some of the people i looked at and his work was 10 times better. Thanks Doug and your staff for all of the amazing moments you captured. Shannon & Chad

    Amazing Wedding Photographers

    We had an absolutely amazing experience with Doug, Georgi, and the entire team at Candid Moments Photography! They were very communicative and responsive throughout the entire planning process, and they brought that sense of ease and organization to our wedding day as well. We both hate getting our photos taken, but they immediately made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and all of our photos are absolutely beautiful! Doug and Georgi perfectly captured the venue, all of the day’s events, and other special moments. They were also really flexible when we unexpectedly had to pause our first look session, and they added time to our sunset photo session so we could get more photos together, which was really nice. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Candid Moments Photography, and we highly recommend them for your wedding!

    Stunning Photos!

    Simply the best! Doug drove 4 hrs for our wedding, went a day early to scope out the best spots for our photos as it was a new location for him, stayed an extra hour because "the party just started," made taking pictures so comfortable, and delivered the most beautiful photos! You won't regret it! Married 9/8/23.

    Best Wedding Photographer Ever!!

    I cannot save enough great things about Doug and his team at Candid Moments! They coached us through all the most romantic poses, captured the beauty of our surroundings, and were the perfect amount of attentiveness to us throughout the day. From our first phone call with Doug to our final photos in our Rolls Royce exit vehicle they made our experience so enjoyable & unforgettable. Highly highly recommend!!

    Perfect wedding photographers!

    Candid moments was the perfect company to use for my wedding photography. I had a ton of questions before deciding on a photographer and Doug answered every one of them. Both Doug and Georgi were the photographers at my wedding and they captured every moment I could’ve asked for. I got married at the Ballroom at Ellis Preserve and they were familiar with the venue and made sure to get shots at all of the beautiful spots outside. Doug really helped me figure out a timeline for the day of the wedding that would make everything run smoothly and not tire the guys out by starting them too early. To top it all off, candid moments are very affordable and they even allowed me to personalize my package. I was able to select what parts of the package I wanted or didn’t need to come up with something that worked perfectly for my wedding. I truly appreciate candid moments and the spectacular job they did with capturing my big day! I definitely recommend them!

    Great Experience!

    We made such a great choice choosing Candid Moments! We chose the more affordable option, which was to have them 'assign' two photographers, as opposed to us choosing. Our photographers were Rustin and Daniel, and our pictures turned out amazing! We've received so many compliments, and we're so happy with the results, I can't stop looking at them! I especially love the reception photos, I barely even noticed them taking pictures, but they captured such wonderful shots that showed how much fun everyone was having. It was overall just a really pleasant experience working with them, Gina was so friendly and responsive as well. We highly recommend Candid Moments!

    Highly Recommended - Great Photos and Fun/Professional on the Wedding Day

    Everyone we spoke to from Candid Moments Photography was polite, helpful and professional. I spoke with Doug over the phone who was very helpful guiding us about our wedding day schedule. We opted for a first look so we could take formal pictures before the ceremony and kept our photographer throughout the night to take candid photos of the reception.

    Kevin was our photographer and he was wonderful. He was friendly and funny, and we felt completely at ease as he took our formal photos / family pictures. We got all the shots we were looking for.

    The turnaround was quick - about a month after the wedding we had the digital copies of our photos. Our package also included two prints and those were great too.

    Highly recommended and at a great price too!

    Better than Disney!

    We could not be happier with the service we had with Candid Moments! We actually had two weddings - a small one in Disney and a larger one back home in Philly. Honestly, we didn't think that anything could beat our Disney pictures. Let me tell you, we were wrong. Our pictures are even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! We worked specifically with Georgi and Adam, who endured extreme heat to take our photos. They were an absolute dream to work with and had wonderful ideas to incorporate our families and make the whole picture process enjoyable (even with the heat!). Our family and friends also noted how kind and sweet the two gentlemen were throughout the whole day! Most notably, we had issues with the managers of our venue the day of the wedding, and our videographer was unable to be a part of one part of the day. Doug, the owner of Candid Moments, sent us a very sweet email explaining the whole situation before it even became an issue with us. He handled the whole thing so well and we could not be happier with our end result! My cousin will actually be using Candid Moments for her wedding next year and my sister also has plans to do a shoot with them as well! We really could not be more pleased!

    Stunning Photos that Capture the Best Candid Moments!

    Doug took phenomenal photos and captured all the wonderful candid moments of our wedding. As someone whose not a fan of the camera or photogenic, Doug's friendly nature, humor, and direction helped me calm my nerves and took over 5,000 stunning shots! While some of the poses seemed a bit awkward at the time, they work. Trust him! The slideshow came out picture-perfect along with the printed canvas. Proudly displayed his work of art in our living room!

    Doug is very accommodating and flexible, he came down to DC for our engagement shoot at the National Mall. The engagement shoot was supposed to last for an hour and a half with a few locations, but Doug spent 3 hours patiently shooting at a few monuments and a dozen locations. His attention to detail paid off as the spectacular photos were used in our guest book, slide shows, and printed.

    Doug and Gina are highly organized and really easy to work with frequent communication before, during, and post-wedding. Highly recommend Doug to artfully capture all of your best candid moments!

    Candid Moments Photography is AMAZING! I was in my best friends wedding 3 years ago and she used CMP for her wedding. I loved working with them so much that I asked Doug for his card before the night was over and told him "when I get married, I will be calling you to be my photographer". I was not even engaged at the time but loved them and their work so much that I already knew I wanted them to photograph my wedding. Well...2 years after that I called and booked them for my own wedding. I used Georgi and Kevin as well as Brad their videographer. They were all great to work with and their photos/videos captured every single moment of that special day. I worked with Georgi the most as he did our engagement shoot and worked with myself and my bridesmaids as we got ready. He was very personable and fun to work with! I was worried about looking "staged" or not natural and when I expressed my concern he simply said "You won't even know I am there, just enjoy your day and I will capture every moment"..boy was he right!! I got all the formal pictures I wanted and the candids are some of my favorite! He never pulled me in different directions and I enjoyed every minute of that day! Gina their studio manager was also amazing to work with! I always had a million questions and she always answered back very promptly and helped me with everything a long the way! I cannot say enough good things about CMP! I loved working with them in my own wedding as well as several other that I have been in. They are truly talented and amazing at what they do! Thanks to their amazing photos and videos and can look back and remember every special moment of my wedding day!

    Working with Candid Moments Photography was an amazing experience! First off, the communication was great. Gina and Doug made sure to keep us updated and answered all of our questions. They also led us in the direction of a first look, something we are so happy to have done! We picked Kevin as our photographer because of his reviews of making the process relaxing - something an anxious bride like me greatly appreciated! Kevin and Adam, our second photographer, really kept the flow of the photographs relaxed and fun. All our family and friends loved them! Jeff and I had a bit of a mishap and needed to do some of the family pictures during cocktail hour, but Kevin and Adam were able to get them ALL done in time for us to still enjoy a part of the cocktail hour, something both Jeff and I greatly appreciated. We got to see some of the pictures Kevin took and can NOT wait to see the finished products in a few weeks. We highly recommend Candid Moments along with Kevin and Adam!

    You won't go wrong choosing Candid Moments as your photographer!! Doug was great to work with and captured the most amazing photos from our special day. He & his team deserve 5 stars because I feel that they go above and beyond. They do a lot of prepping BEFORE the big day so that you can be stress free & just enjoy the day while they get all the perfect pictures with your assigned guests as previously discussed. Would work with them again & would recommend them to anyone!!

    I highly recommend Candid Moments!! They were amazing from the start. We worked with Doug and Adam the day of, but even talking to Gina; everyone has been awesome! The pictures are beautiful and I can’t stop looking at them! I love how attentive they are; and when I have a question, they get back to me within 24 hours. It was so cold and windy out the day of the wedding but they still wanted to get outside pictures; I am grateful because there are so many great ones and I don’t feel like I am missing out!! I mostly love the "outside of the box" photos that Doug took; never did I think, that I would be standing on a table, in my wedding dress, in the middle of the hotel lobby and it is one of my absolute favorite photos! The different ways they took pictures was truly amazing and I am so glad we chose them for our special day!! Thank you so much, Doug, Adam and everyone else that has been part of this process!!!!

    We just got our sneak peek photos from our wedding on 06/08/18 and they are gorgeous. I can't wait to see all the rest of the photos. Doug is so easy to work with and Georgi takes beautiful photos with great lighting. We are in LOVE with our wedding photos so far. I highly recommend Candid Moments!
