testimonials
Aisha & Patrick
The University Club of Chicago Wedding
“Candace is incredible! She is thoughtful, flexible, organized, communicative and has a way with making us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera.
If you're wondering whether you should book her... DO IT! I am a person who usually hates photos of myself and I LOVED every single photo that Candace captured of my wedding. She has an elegant, documentary style that is unlike others I have seen. She is worth the investment 100 times over. I will definitely book Candace for all future life moments as well!”
Devon & David
Morgan's on Fulton Chicago Wedding
“We had a wonderful experience working with Candace. Starting with the engagement shoot, 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!”
Yande & Scott
The Waldorf Astoria Chicago Wedding
“When my husband and I started wedding planning, one of the most important elements of our day was photography. We wanted images that would take us back to our special day.
From the moment I saw Candace's work, we had to hire her! Her photos were crisp, timeless, not overly-edited, and soft. Candace captured absolute gems! From the detail shots to capturing our friends and family, every image told a story. I would recommend Candace to any bride wanting a timeless wedding photography look.”
