Candace Sims Photography was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding day. Candace was easy to communicate with throughout the entire process, always responsive and helpful. She is completely professional and has an incredible eye for detail, capturing the most beautiful and memorable moments of our special day. Candace laid out a very detailed timeline and followed it precisely, making sure we stayed on schedule and didn't miss a thing. She has a warm and friendly personality that made us feel completely comfortable and at ease during our portrait session. Candace truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect, and the photographs she delivered are stunning. We are so grateful to have found such a talented photographer to document our 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!

Real wedding inspiration featuring Candace Sims Photography

Show all photos

We highly recommend booking at least 9-18 months in advance to secure your date. We look forward to hearing from you!

All final images will be edited in Candace’s signature style for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful.

You’ll be able to view your photos online about 6-8 weeks after your wedding (this may vary during peak season). Within this time, you can also expect to receive an online gallery viewing, so you can download your images, purchase prints/albums and more and share the photos with your loved ones.

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my best colleagues or my contracted assistant. I will handle all of the logistics.

Approximately 50-75 images per hour of coverage.
