Justas & Coral’s Garden Proposal I love proposals. No matter how much planning goes into them, there’s literally always an amazing surprise at the end. I also love these because I only get to speak to one partner and while doing so I get to hear how much they admire their fiance-to-be! It’s beautiful! Fun […]

Nina & Dan’s Alki Beach Elopement About a year ago, three months into a pandemic that changed our world and put our lives on hold, Nina contacted me about photographing her Lincoln Park Elopement in .

Consider a Winter Wonderland Wedding When Brittni told me about her winter wedding at Historic 1625, I was pleasantly surprised! Contrary to popular belief, the wedding season does not end in September! Couples are embracing the changing seasons and planning their weddings all year round. When my clients told me that they were interested in […]

DeMyla and Trunel got engaged on Thanksgiving 2019! They contacted me in December to photograph their engagement session in 2020 and I thought Pioneer Square engagement photos would be a great fit for their style!

Eventually, they settled on the beautiful Kubota Garden in South Seattle as the perfect location for their photoshoot. This Japanese garden boasts a variety of stunning features, including botanical gardens, koi fish ponds, and iconic red-arched bridges. Keep […]

"Candace is hands down one of the  best  wedding vendor decisions we made! She is pure magic at what she does! Candace was absolutely                                                       She exceeded all our expectations with our engagement photos and so we contracted with her for our wedding as well. I had two months to go before my wedding and she helped me find a make up artist and florist in Seattle. I can’t speak highly enough of her personality, her work and her professionalism. She went above what was required of her and made
the entire process for my family and I fun and easy.                         
                         
               I would recommend her!!!"

amazing to  work with.

“Candace is                                           Truly! We feel so lucky that Candace was willing to be a part of our wedding day. From the first time we connected over the phone, we knew Candace’s                                                                                                                  would be an incredible asset to our wedding!”

She took the time to scout our location and 
                                                                  as if it were a novel she was writing."
