  • Serves Carefree, AZ

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Candace is AMAZING! We had her photograph our engagement and wedding photos. She was a YES right away because she was immediately happy to capture us with our fur baby for engagement photos! Fast forward to wedding day, ALL of the photos were SO SO SO beautiful, carefully crafted detail shots, and just so perfect! Candace throughout both events was super friendly and personable, but still professional. She was amazing at corralling our large families for group photos, and seamlessly moving around the wedding day, and capturing everything! We liked how she sent a questionnaire a few weeks ahead of the wedding to ask us about minor details that she might not be aware of, and any photo inspiration to make sure we were on the same page. My husband and I love all of the photos Candace took and are so excited to have them forever! We are so grateful Candace was our photographer and you won't regret working with her!!! 3

Michael did a fantastic job as our wedding DJ and emcee. He took the time to meet with us on multiple occasions to get to know us as a couple, to learn about our music interests, and to understand what type of vibe we were going for at the ceremony and reception. He created a timeline for our wedding that was so helpful because I did not have a day--of coordinator. He even gave my brother some pointers since it was his first time being an officiant. The party was so much fun, the music was great, his lighting was awesome, and all of our guests enjoyed the photobooth. 10/10 would recommend!

I went to the open house last year and fell in love with the Venue at First sight. The grass, pecan trees, citrus trees, and then 40,000 lights sold the deal. We got married on 5/25/24, with almost all guests flying in. Every guest commented on how romantic the venue was. Stephanie and Ben were the best; they were both very professional and provided their expertise when needed. I can't forget how the ceremony went perfectly due to the support and always encouraging staff, especially Ben. Ensemble Catering is a part of the venue, and being that I have mostly foodie friends, everyone thought the food was delicious. The late-night Fries and Cookie Wall were discussed for the next few days when guests called to say how much they enjoyed the evening. Another consideration in my 5-star review is that the vendors in the package and on their website were just as great to work with. My husband and I are so grateful to everyone who worked that day and all the others who helped plan and make it the best day of our lives. We specifically worked with Got You Covered DJs, Sugarlips Bakery, TonyGeorgePhoto, Ensemble Catering, Wildchild Flowers, and AllTheLovelyLeigh Details. Below are photos from guests, not TonyGeorge. The wedding was about a week go.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a person who had never been glam before, Emily and Sarah made me super comfortable and had realistic expectations. THANK YOU for explaining why 18-inch extensions would be beneficial, and I am thankful for trusting you. My hair and makeup were freaking epic! I wanted old Hollywood Glam with smokey eyes and, being 48, requesting glowy skin instead of baked. Sarah made all my bridesmaids feel gorgeous with their makeup, and our hair was perfect! Most of my bridesmaids had been BM before, so they were expecting to feel insecure and not sexy. All five were so impressed they felt and looked beautiful. I have never been called "Stunning" before my wedding day. On that day, Emily and the team not only made me look stunning, but they also made me feel stunning. My hairstyle with the 18-inch clip extensions was done perfectly. My makeup lasted all night, and the glow that was used on my chest gave me the most beautiful glowing skin. Thank you so much! I haven't gotten any of my professional photos in yet. Here are a few from guests

DJ Dana did our wedding on 8/31/24 and we highly recommend him! He took into account my wedding playlists, and knew when to play the right songs. It took a lot of stress out of our day. He was very early, and set up with plenty of time to spare. His speaker system and microphones for toasts worked great. He brought his own lights to add to the party and even added some to our sweetheart table to spice it up! He was very thoughtful, and even sang us L-OV-E by Nat King Cole very tastefully and casually while people were finishing dinner. Highly recommend… thank you DJ Dana!

So here's the tea... I'm a wise-cracking, extroverted Capricorn who excels at corralling your rowdy family for photos and charming Aunt Carol, the self-deemed professional iPad photographer. Ever since I was little, huddled on the couch with my five siblings rewatching The Lion King, I knew that I wanted to be a storyteller. Growing up in a creative household, I studied a wide range of arts before settling on filmmaking. I envisioned in my head that I would be the next Spielberg, but after shooting my first wedding in 2013 all my plans changed.

Maya Papaya Pictures was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding & engagement session. Her communication was prompt, and they truly listened to our wants and needs, responding quickly to any questions or concerns. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations - it was of the highest caliber. On the day of our wedding, Maya & Courtney helped calm the nerves of the chaotic day and worked seamlessly with our two huge and intrusive families to capture beautiful photos. We could not be happier with the memories they helped create for us. We can not wait to use Maya for any photo necessities we might need!

Awarded Best of Zola
We didn’t just hire Womack Services—we partnered with magic. From start to finish, this team delivered not only incredible service but an atmosphere that felt like we were surrounded by family—the professional kind that brings zero drama, just positive energy and total reliability. We booked Womack Services for the full wedding package: DJ/emcee, photography, and videography. Our crew included Jeremiah, Drew, Victoria, and DJ Judah—and we cannot say enough good things. Every single person brought warmth, creativity, and confidence to the day. You know when people just “get it”? That’s them. Through two thoughtful planning meetings and their beautifully organized online portal, we were able to outline everything—our musical preferences, special shots we wanted, timeline sequences, and all those personal touches that made the night so uniquely us. Because of their attention to detail and clear communication, our wedding day flowed effortlessly. No scrambling. No surprises. Just exactly what we dreamed of—and better. Our guests are still talking about the photos—we’ve heard everything from “flawless” to “straight out of a bridal editorial” to “perfect” , which a Virgo bride loved to hear. The images captured the love, light, and laughter of the day in a way that still gives us chills. And the video? Somehow even more emotional. They bottled up the joy and handed it back to us in cinematic form. As for DJ Judah—he knew how to read the room, keep the energy high, and make transitions feel smooth and exciting all night. No awkward silences. No weird song choices. Just good vibes, from the ceremony to the last dance. Womack Services made our wedding feel like a dream with zero stress. If you’re looking for a team that’s equal parts skilled, organized, kind, and just plain fun—this is it. We are so grateful for everything they gave us. A perfect day, and memories to last a lifetime. —With hearts full, The Happy Couple

Hi, I'm Ricky, owner and lead photographer. Wedding planning doesn't need to be stressful. And you don't have to do it alone. I GOT YOU! You want to enjoy your big day, so I make sure you have time for just the two of you alone and I try to get you back to your cocktail hour as soon as possible so you can enjoy your friends' company. More importantly, I promise through my mix of direction and “fly on the wall” style of photography, you will feel relaxed and excited in front of my lens. All I ask of my couples is to be open-minded, open-hearted, respectful, and unapologetically YOU!! Bottom line, be exactly who you are and I will do the rest.

We hired Ricky - Goodeye Photography - for both our engagement and wedding photos, and holy cow did he blow us away. Hiring him was easily the best decision we made. From start to finish, Ricky was an absolute joy to work with. His professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made every minute of planning and shooting a wonderful experience. I originally found Ricky on Instagram (@goodeye.photography) and after a quick scroll through his page, I instantly knew he was who we needed. Every photo in his portfolio had emotion and love in them. After finding his Instagram page, I reached out and he very quickly responded with all necessary information. He communicated clearly and quickly throughout this entire process which was very appreciated! I plan events professionally and half the time it’s like pulling teeth to even get a response from someone. Never once did Ricky have a delayed response or leave us with more questions than answers. My husband is what we’d call “camera shy” and was pretty anxious leading up to our engagement shoot as this was his first time getting professional photos done. And while Ricky always behaves in a very professional manner, he also is extremely personable, friendly, and frankly just straight up funny. We instantly connected with him and he made my husband feel so much more relaxed - heck, my husband even had FUN during the shoot which I didn’t think possible haha. It goes without saying that the engagement photos were absolutely stunning… each one better than the last. As the big day drew nearer, Ricky met with us regularly and assisted us in our agenda, timeline, and all these other small details you don’t even think about. On the day of our wedding, Ricky and his team went above and beyond to capture every moment. He has an incredible eye for detail and was able to capture the essence of our day beautifully. (Petition for him to change his name from Good Eye Photography to Incredible Eye Photography ;) After the ceremony was over and it was time for my new husband and I to sneak off during cocktail hour to take our photos, a lovely wedding guest managed to spill red wine all down my white dress. Before I could even flinch, Ricky immediately jumped in and said “Don’t worry, I can edit out these red stains in all the pictures.” One of the BEST parts of working with Ricky is also his quick turnaround time. I wanna say it was like 5 days after the wedding and Ricky had already turned around a handful of “sneak peak” photos - which is quite impressive considering how many other weddings he had booked after ours. And to no ones surprise - there wasn’t a hint of red wine stains in any of the pictures ) Our wedding photos are more than what we could have ever hoped for. I may be biased, but truly some of these pictures deserve to be hung in the Louvre. I cannot recommend Good Eye Photography enough (and on that note it’s worth mentioning that since our engagement photoshoot with Ricky, two of my other friends that were engaged have also hired him and his team for their weddings)! If you are looking for a talented and passionate photographer who will go the extra mile to make your special moments unforgettable and your planning process a breeze, then Ricky is the guy for you.

Ashly is an incredibly talented photographer, and we highly recommend her services to any couple looking to commemorate their wedding or possibly a proposal in the most amazing way.

In 2021 I quit my day job to pursue my long time love of wedding photography full time... and it's extremely safe to say I have no regrets! I've met the most incredible people through this job, and it fills me up knowing I can give what feels like the ultimate creative gift. I come from a small Illinois town with a large extended family and a circle lifelong friends who might as well be blood. My community, the people I love, and the little things that bond us together mean everything to me. Let me help you celebrate you and yours!

Andrea Neff is the BEST!!!!!! She did our engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I historically take the most awkward photos so I was nervous for our engagement photo session. Andrea is so friendly, personable, and comfortable to be around and she gave us prompts to help make us look more natural in our photos. She also did our wedding photos. The photos are BEAUTIFUL. The focus and the lighting on all the photos was remarkable. She is very talented and skillful. I got so many compliments on our wedding photos, they are so beautiful, and we will cherish them forever. She also made taking the photos on wedding day so efficient and smooth and captured so many amazing moments throughout the evening. I highly highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for an amazing photographer.

Bad Gal Beauty was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding beauty needs. Their communication style was incredibly responsive and supportive - I always felt they had my best interests in mind. The quality of their work show talent, and expertise!! I asked for Hollywood waves and I look and felt like a celebrity. For my rehearsal dinner, she made my hair look stunning, and on my wedding day, I felt so beautiful thanks to her skills. She is so funny and super easy to talk to, and really took the time to understand what I liked and helped me achieve my desired looks for both events. My bridesmaids also looked absolutely stunning on the wedding day thanks to Bad Gal Beauty's expertise. I highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day!

We had Jarrett with Engage Entertainment as our DJ for our wedding on October 26. I can’t recommend him enough. From the planning process to executing everything we had visioned for our music and party - everything was great.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring this team was some of the best money we spent on our wedding! Niki, Jaime, and the whole NJEC crew honored my vision and executed my wedding day exactly as I had been dreaming, organizing, and planning for over a year. We recently got married at the Desert Botanical Gardens, and the amount of street cred that follows Niki's name is amazing. All my other vendors knew her and loved working with her which made the process that much easier. Both in the planning process (I went with their "month-of" services) and the execution process, NJEC went above and beyond so we were able to enjoy and experience our wedding day and be totally present in each moment. They did everything in their power to make us both feel prioritized, pampered, and shielded from any chaos or challenges. If you want a team that will put you first, advocate for you when vendors are being tricky, think of every little detail that you never would've considered, AND make your wedding day run smoothly, then I highly recommend NJEC. Especially if you're getting married at the Desert Botanical Gardens!

If you’re on the fence about who to book because let’s be honest, there’s a lot of vendors on Zola, choose Karla! Her photos turned out amazing for both our save the dates and our wedding. She has a quick turn around time (24 hours) for sneak peeks. She’s sweet, kind, communicative, easy going, and just fun to work with. She was more of my wedding coordinator on my wedding day than my actual coordinator lol. Book her! You won’t be disappointed.
