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.

As a wedding professional of 19+ years, I understand the importance of hiring a photographer you can trust. I've been photographing weddings since 2007 - I LOVE ALL things wedding! Watching your Mom zipping up your dress while she fights back tears, the first look with Dad as he sees his baby girl ready to walk down the isle... capturing all the little moments while you say "I do" is what I live for! I believe your wedding day is the start of your family legacy and it's meant to be captured and enjoyed for years to come.

Shayla saved our wedding photos after our photographer cancelled last minute. So scary to have a quick change but dang, wish we had gone with Shayla from the start. Our photos are absolutely incredible. Shayla was the sweetest and will for sure be an asset to your wedding.
