    Best Photographer!

    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!

    Candice is amazing!

    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.

    Amazing photographer, such beautiful photos!

    Candice was so easy and enjoyable to work with! She had a really good eye for lighting, angles, and background scenery. She also gave everyone a lot of good posing instructions to make sure the photos turned out perfect. She was also very flexible in terms of last minute photo ideas. We really enjoyed working with Candice and absolutely love the photos we have received so far -- they are amazing!!! Would definitely hire her again!

    Thank you so much, John!! That really means the world. I adored working with you, Kristen, and your families :)

    Intuitive, patient, aware and beautifully artistic!

    Candice was absolutely amazing! She is so PRESENT in the moments - always aware of catching those priceless memories. Weddings are such a whirlwind of activity and it is incredible to have a photographer who creates photos that allow us to go back in the quiet after the storm and re-experience the moments. So many things I would have missed without her discerning eye and artistry! Gorgeous composition and the way she uses light and texture is stunning!

    Stop looking and hire Candice!

    Candice is a joy to work with! She is responsive over email, was on time during our big day, and was flexible in when things needed to happen to ensure that we got the best pics! Our favorite thing about Candice is that in addition to being an excellent wedding photographer, she is also a true artist and even shot some of our wedding on film. All in all, we cannot say enough good things about her! She's the real deal.

    Candice and her team are the absolute best!

    I cannot say enough about the decision to have Candice and her team capture our wedding day. Not only do people still talk about our photos 6+ months later, but we genuinely loved how they made us feel on our special day (so comfortable, relaxed, and happy) Everything exceeded expectations tenfold, and to date was one of the best decisions we made in regards to our wedding day!

    The BEST all around!

    Candice and her team are an absolute joy to work with. I can't say enough great things about our experience. Our wedding was rescheduled 3x over the course of 2 years due to Covid and Candice worked with us every step of the way. Her communication was timely and she made herself available to discuss plans/timelines that seemed to be ever-changing due to the circumstances. On the day of the wedding, Candice and Josh did an excellent job of directing the wedding party to get the best shots and worked their way through the shot list with ease. Not only did she help me and everyone else feel comfortable in front of the camera, but she also coordinated with our videographer to ensure that all of our special moments were captured. I loved her creative vision for the photos. At sunset, she saw an opportunity to get some gorgeous shots while we were on the rooftop of the Canary hotel. The lighting was beautiful and the Santa Barbara skyline was breathtaking.

    The technique, professionalism, and amazing personality...Candice has it all!

    Amazing experience (twice)!

    When we first started planning our wedding back in 2020 I loved Candice's work and as soon as we spoke I knew I wanted to hire her. She was very warm and easy to talk to and I felt like we would have a great time working with her. Our initial wedding plans in April 2021 had to be postponed due to Covid, and Candice was incredibly responsive and flexible when rescheduling our date. When we decided to have a small wedding on our original date and requested her services on that day as well, she was incredibly helpful and able to accommodate us quickly.

    On both of our wedding days it felt like Candice was more a part of our family than anything else. She was calm, easy to be around, and made us feel very comfortable (even as people who are a little awkward being photographed). She captured absolutely incredible photos and made the whole experience fun. Even in the moments when I was emotional or nervous, I felt like she helped me to calm down and take time to absorb the whole day.

    I cannot recommend Candice more highly. My whole family loved her and my husband and I already planning ways we can work with her again!

    Excellent!!

    I absolutely adore my engagement and wedding photos! Candace made us so comfortable during both, was really great with choosing beautiful spots and positioning us. She made my day so much better! Wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to photograph our day. ❤️

    Candice Marie Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Tori! :) I'm so happy you were still able to have your Wedding during the pandemic. It was so special to celebrate with you and Taylor.

    Amazing in every way!

    I cannot say enough good things about Candice! She seriously was the best part of wedding planning.

    Our original wedding was cancelled due to Covid, so we decided to have a small elopement type event at the last minute. Candice was so sweet, kind, and patient during the entire process. I texted her a million times asking about this date or that date to change our original wedding date to do the elopement, and she was just the best about it. Not only was she incredibly flexible and professional, she was also super kind and helped keep us calm while we threw together our elopement at the last minute. I'm so glad we were able to keep her as photographer for our new, smaller wedding.

    On the wedding day, she was the best! She has such a great energy about her. She's exactly the person you want around you all day on the most important day of your life. Our guests and other vendors were gushing about Candice as well. Everyone could not stop talking about how sweet and helpful she was. And she got the pictures to us SUPER FAST and we are very pleased with the results! When I show people our wedding photos, they always talk about how great the photographer was.

    We would hire Candice again in a heartbeat! Run, don't walk, to hire her!

    Candice Marie Photographer - Your Best Choice

    My husband and I cannot recommend Candice enough if you are on the lookout for a wedding photographer! Her prices are completely reasonable, you feel totally at ease around her while she is shooting and on top of that her photos are absolutely stunning. We were so impressed with her professionalism and quick response time - plus she is SO much fun!

    Candice is a dream

    Candice was wonderful! Our wedding had to be postponed due to COVID. So my husband and I decided to elope to Santa Barbara. I had worked with Candice before with my best friend and her wedding. She was so accommodating during such uncertain times. My husband is deaf and speaks ASL. She was so comfortable with him and made us both feel at ease. She’s so great to work with. Her pictures are beautiful. I highly recommend booking her for your next event- no matter how big or small!

    Thank you, Candice!

    Candice was AMAZING, from our engagement session to our wedding day and all the e-mails/phone calls/Facetime convos in between. She worked with our budget, listened to our vision and made sure to document every moment of our special day... She even captured little moments that I didn't know she saw! We trusted her completely with our photos... And we're so glad we did! She's great with color and also shoots on film and gave us hundreds of images we'll treasure forever. Thank you so much, Candice! We're forever grateful we found you and we wish you the best with your business!

    Thoughtful, detailed Photographer who's a joy to be around!

    Candice was efficient, driven and so pleasant to work with at our April 2019 wedding. She was prompt, quick to begin capturing gems and adapted easily to a few small schedule changes. We felt comfortable with her and the way she directs subjects to pose is effortless and sweet. We would recommend her without hesitation!

    The Most Beautiful Photos

    Candice was beyond professional and captured every shot we wanted. The pictures were amazing and we are so pleased with everything. She is amazing! We were given a link with all of our photos which made sharing a cinch. By far the best photographer we could have gotten.

    Every Brides Dream Photographer

    Candice is exceptionally talented and professional. She has a special way of making you feel comfortable and beautiful to entice only the best photos out of you. She has an artistic vision that is both beautiful and romantic, while also creating crisp and vibrant photos. She allowed us a few photos right away for a preview of what was to come, which made us so excited to see the rest of them. When we received our finished product, we were blown away! Candice is worth every penny and would hire her in a heartbeat for any other photos I need in the future.

    She did our engagement shoot and wedding!

    10/10 would recommend Candice! She’s so skilled with lighting and angles that she photographed my husband and me on the crowded Santa Monica Pier and made it seem like we were at our own private carnival. Not only is her work fantastic, she makes the whole experience fun and carefree!

    I have known Candice for 5 years, but we didn't choose her just because we know her. We chose her because of her talent. Candice uses soft tones and warm lighting which was exactly the feel we wanted for our engagement photos. She was professional, knew exactly where to go to capture great shots, and made us feel completely comfortable during the shoot. Our primary expectation of a wedding photographer was that he or she would capture the love, joy, and playfulness of our relationship, and Candice vastly exceeded our expectations. Our engagement photos turned out better than we could have dreamed or imagined, and we are so grateful to her for capturing such sweet and special moments we will cherish forever.

    Candice was incredibly easy to work with and accommodating! She definitely took the time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for. She works really well with others and was unobtrusive throughout the day while still capturing all of the photos we wanted to have. She has a great eye for composition and light. The pictures are exactly what we wanted and we would highly recommend her!
