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!

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!!
