The Best Wedding Photographers in Payson, AZ

Hey there! We’re a husband and wife creative team enjoying the wedding photography and videography scene in sunny Arizona! We live for those epic “I do” moments. When we’re not behind the camera, you’ll find us hanging out with our little family - one young adult and two amazing kiddos. We’re all about outdoor adventures, soaking in those beautiful Sonoran desert sunsets and hitting the trails. We’re huge fans of music, good eats, and embracing different cultures. We can’t wait to connect and help tell your love story! Let’s chat!

I love photographing weddings and being around people. On your wedding day, that shows up as someone who remembers people’s names, keeps things fun, and knows exactly when to wrangle misbehaving bridal parties and family members to where the need to be. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do when the camera is pointed your way. That’s what I’m for. I’ll give you some great prompts that will result in you laughing, kissing, cuddling, and generally forgetting you’re having your photo taken. The result is a beautiful gallery of wedding photos with connection and emotion that feel just like you.

We offer a personalized experience backed up by more than 33+ years in business delivering high quality, creative photography and video on time and within your wedding budget. We are experts in photojournalism, offering couples an unmatched level of value for their wedding photography and video services.

My gift with the camera is capturing the beauty of the moment. I love telling stories through pictures to keep memories alive, using the click of a shutter to make time stand still. I was inspired to become a photographer when I was young, before the days of digital cameras and cell phones. My eye for photography was first developed along side film, and this fascination set me off to see what I could do with light and lenses. The images you see today are the results of my long, passionate love affair with the camera, developed by life's most precious resource: time.

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!!

Your wedding photographer should be a perfect mix of a fly-on-the-wall and a director. Not someone who’s going to yell cut during your ceremony or give you exact directions on how to deliver your vows, but someone who will guide you on this super important day and deliver the photos you’ve been dreaming of. Whether it’s through my specific formulas for creating ideal timelines or managing your family for hassle-free group photos, you’ll experience this direction throughout wedding planning (Pre-Production), your wedding day (Principal Photography), and delivery (Post-Production).

I photograph with the understanding that one day, these images will become part of a family’s most treasured history. Long after the day has passed, they will hold the light, the emotion, and the quiet beauty that words cannot.

I believe photographs should do more than document how things looked; they should return you to how it felt to be there, surrounded by love, meaning, and connection.
