“I cannot say enough good words about @eastonstudios! The clear and consistent communication on how much each package would and what each included was extremely helpful. Nancy was very kind, patient, and not pushy at all with wanting us to choose options. The entire time working with her was pleasant-before, during, and after the wedding. She was on time and communicated how she would start and end the photos for the package we chose. The photos are absolutely gorgeous! I am so proud of each and every memory that she caught-especially extra surprise of close ups and different decor and activities throughout the wedding. She has a gift for getting the right shot at the most perfect time. The photos take me back to my wedding day, that I can relive each time I see them. If you hire Nancy for your wedding photos and or video, you will get the best memories to look back on!”

“Jenny was hands-down the BEST decision and investment we made for our entire wedding weekend. From the very first inquiry, she responded so quickly, her contract was easy to navigate, and the whole process felt incredibly seamless. When the wedding got closer, we hopped on a call to go over my inspiration photos, and right away I knew we were in amazing hands. She had so many creative ideas for poses and completely understood the look I was going for. On the wedding day, she arrived early to scope out the property and find the perfect spots that matched my vision. My husband and I had never taken professional photos before, and she guided us through everything—posing, angles, what to do with our hands—she made us feel like naturals! My entire family LOVED her and could not stop raving about how sweet, talented, and easy to work with she was. We received our sneak peek album so fast, and my husband and I were absolutely obsessed. When the full gallery arrived, My husband and I made a date out of it, and the whole time we kept saying, “I can’t believe these are OUR photos.” They’re everything we hoped for and more, memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re on the fence about hiring a photographer, seriously—do yourself the biggest favor and book Jenny. You will not regret it. I would choose her over and over again. Her pricing is incredible for the quality, the experience, and the magic she delivers. I cannot recommend her enough. Truly the best decision we made! THANK YOU JENNY!!! You made my little girl wedding dreams come true!”

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

“Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!”

Since 2018, I've organically captured intentional connection at weddings. Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

I am a documentary wedding photographer blended with an editorial approach, and I aim to capture those special moments naturally as they unfold. I'm inspired by the genuine affection my clients have towards each other and look to document & craft your wedding photos with a candid eye. I don't want to dictate your day but let you enjoy your day. I may suggest small things like shooting portraits when the light is perfect, such as when the sun is going down, or I'll suggest taking a moment to embrace your partner & remind you to be affectionate on your wedding day. It's how I ensure you get beautiful natural images full of emotion.

“Jesus was our wedding photographer for our special day. From our first interaction, Jesus showed confidence in his experience as a wedding photographer. He took the time to understand what I imagined my wedding photos would look like that is how he carefully planned, & captured my wedding photos. Jesus arrived 1 week early before the wedding day to scout out locations, shared photos with us, and seamlessly incorporated them into our timeline. We felt like we not only had a talented photographer, but also a day-of coordinator who helped ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He made sure we not only captured the photos we would love but also took the time and went above and beyond to take care of us as people, offering to get water and making sure we had drinks or food. Ive never had an experience with another wedding photographer but I imagine its not a level of service thats common in the industry. The variety and quality of the final photos exceeded our expectations, and we are extremely happy to have such beautiful, and meaningful heirlooms from our celebration. We highly recommend Candid Moment Photo to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.”

Kay captured a great variety of shots throughout the day, including some creative and artistic exposure photos that added a unique touch to our gallery. We didn’t want traditional, overly bright, or boring photos, and Kay really delivered something special. The overall quality, professionalism, and turnaround time exceeded our expectations. We’re so glad we chose her to capture such an important day. You won’t be disappointed!”

We loved having the photographer at our bridal shower—she has such a warm personality that everyone felt comfortable around her.

I am Ashley Strong Smith, the very passionate, sincere and grateful soul behind these very time capsules witnessed within this space. Although I’ve been shooting for over a decade, ASP launched full time in April of 2015 as an all encompassing business and became a Corporation - Strong Smith, Inc. in 2018. Since then, I’ve been beyond blessed to : - Document nearly 450 sessions - Document over a 100 weddings - Receive almost 250 FIVE STAR reviews on multiple platforms - Published nearly two dozen times

“I highly recommend Ashley as your photographer. I first came across her work from another friends wedding, and I specifically loved her editing/the way she captured light in her photos! The photos we received did not disappoint. I've been struggling to narrow down which ones I want to print and frame in our home. I loved the app we received within a couple days that had a bunch of previews--more than enough options to choose from for an initial Instagram post! Ashley was so sweet to work with, and made sure to capture everything we discussed in our calls leading up to the big day. It was so fun going back through all the photos after and seeing how many group/family photos she was able to capture of our guests as well. I feel like the day was documented so well and we kept getting compliments from our guests about how great Ashley was. During our guest table photos she was so efficient, but also checked the photos to make sure no one was blinking etc. before moving on to the next grouping!”

I’m Karen, your expert California elopement photographer. I'm passionate about making sure couples feel seen and heard when it comes to their wedding day. No elopement is too "out-of-the-ordinary" nor too out of reach. I believe in the power of eloping so much I did it myself. Away from crowds, enveloped in nature, against a badass view, with the people I feel most comfortable with. I'm with you every step of the way. By providing personalized location lists, planning resources, vendor recommendations, permits, and so much more we bring your dream wedding to life.

“Karen’s work is incredible! We watched the slideshow tonight with our daughter and it was perfect for story telling. Karen delivers more than just a file of photos, she delivers a story. With Karen’s well balanced guidance, energy, and peacefulness My husband and I were able to submerge ourselves in the present moment and truly feel like it was just the two of us. Thank you Karen for such a wonderful experience!”
