Hello, I'm Candice
My love for documenting has been with me for as long as I can remember. My first memory of it is making scrapbooks with photos of my favorite moments. I then went on to play with cameras and took photos of whatever I saw.
Surprisingly, a career in photography wasn't initially my ambition. After stumbling upon a wedding photographer's page, I knew that this was meant for me. Preferring the unscripted over the staged, the photo-journalistic approach to wedding photography unveiled a new world to me. It was a revelation; a switch flipped, illuminating my path forward.
MY style
Over the years, my style has evolved, yet one thing remains constant: the heart with which I capture stories. For the past 7 years, I've been on a journey, seeking photos that resonate with genuine emotion. In a world of fleeting trends, I've always leaned towards timeless elegance and consistency. My editing is made up of true-to-life skin tones and colors, leaving you with images that can be enjoyed for years to come.
MY APPROACH
I believe that wedding photography is more than just a service, it should be an unforgettable experience that stays with you forever. As a photographer I have a responsibility to capture the sacred moments of your day, allowing you to relive the memories once the day has passed.
I have spent years meticulously crafting my approach. I aim to capture your day as it naturally unfolds, with hints of editorial imagery. My aim? To ensure that your wedding day doesn't feel like a photoshoot, but rather like your wedding day—documented with a blend of heart and artistic imagery.
ONCE THE MUSIC STOPS, AND THE FLOWERS WILT, THE ONLY THING LEFT, IS PHOTOS
It is no secret that you spend most of your wedding day with your photographer. I have spent years perfecting not only my craft, but the experience that comes with it. I pride myself in being there for my couples before, during and after the big day. I am excited to spend your day with you and ensure that your vision is captured.
WHAT TO EXPECT
My approach is rooted in honesty and driven by the possibility of the present moment. I'm an observer, holding space for you to experience your day and linger in every moment. Unobtrusive yet deeply engaged, I delicately navigate each moment, preserving its authenticity without intruding. When working with me, you can expect an easy-going yet professional vendor to create your dream day! From the start, I always hop on a phone call with potential clients to make sure it is a good fit for all parties. On this call, I can get a better idea of what your vision is for your wedding, and from there, I take my experience and expertise to recommend the best options for your day.
