Omg. Best. Wedding. Photos. Ever. I'd give 6 stars if I could!!!I can't even begin to say how happy I was to with Candi as a professional photographer. Her and Rosemary were absolutely incredible and captured everything. Super responsive, lighting was awesome, she was amazing to work with... Based on her skill, she even got my fiancé as well as 4 family members who didn't want any photos to actually enjoy the entire process- we have the best photos of them!!! . We also have hundreds of amazing photos to enjoy from our day- and each one is super amazing and special. Can't wait to work with you in the future on cards- I guess I'll have to book early though. Candi- you're amazing!!!!!Omg. Literally I was able to send an awesome photo to every guest who attended! All 120 of them. Over the moon happy here.... More...

Candi is a wonderful photographer. Â She is so easy to get along with and makes you feel very comfortable. Â She is very professional. Â Both times I've been photographed by her she had all the equipment she needed and she had already scouted out locations for the photos and had idea's for posing. Â She is a true artist, her photo's are beautiful. Â She is very down to earth, fun, and silly but you can just tell she takes photography very seriously. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Knowing your lighting and and how to capture it. Photography means the study of light. I have been trained in the field on how to capture and add my own lighting to create photos that are stunning and bold.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What is the style they are looking for and have they had a chance to look at my portfolio?
What do you love most about your job?
Absolutely everything! Meeting new people, creating beautiful art work and having fun at the same time.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I love to provide people with beautiful memories. Moments they can cherish and share with their families. This is their life, their adventures, their dreams. I am there to capture these moments and create beautiful art.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am a trained professional. Not a photographer that decided to pick up a camera and take pictures. I have a BFA in Fine Art Photography from AAU in San Francisco and I have extensive lighting techniques. I know what I am doing and looking for when I photograph a wedding, event, family, and children. I have been studying photography for over 15 years and been in business for over 10 of those years. Photography is my passion and I apply this passion into my work every wedding I shoot.
