We had the absolute best experience with our wedding photographer and her second shooter, Anthony (her husband). From the very beginning, she made the process feel so easy and comfortable. Having an engagement shoot with her beforehand was such a great way to get to know her style and build a connection before the big day—it made us feel at ease in front of the camera. On our wedding day, she and Anthony went above and beyond. They were professional, organized, and so fun to work with. They captured every moment beautifully, all while making us feel relaxed and present. We couldn’t be happier with the photos and the memories they preserved for us. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a documentary photographer who can capture your day as it unfolds, I’d love to chat!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Holly was immediately responsive & answered all our questions in detail. She was incredible at our engagement shoot & had even looked up several nearby parks to choose from, & looked at great locations within the 1 we chose to shoot our engagement photos. I was able to change outfits & my fiance/now husband & I felt totally comfortable despite it being our 1st time having professional photography focused on us with her down to earth & direct communication style. Our photos turned out gorgeous & classic. On our wedding day, we had a lot of unexpected things happen like wind & rain at our outdoor ceremony & photography session, but she handled it all with grace & got our photos done beautifully & timely with our wedding party & immediate family as we wanted. We did some outdoor portrait photos & got some adorable ones inside our bridal suite. It was relieving to see her there every step of our 8 hours we hired her for, including our pivotal dances, cake cutting, dancing, etc. She even went above & beyond her job by stepping in several times in several ways when our coordinator was completely forgetful & careless. She communicated with my Mom who was very high strung & quick tempered beautifully. My husband & I literally cannot thank her enough for how beautifully & peacefully she took care of our photos & us on our our wedding. Would recommend her 10x over.

She was extremely patient and supportive as we ironed out the details of our wedding, since it came together after we contacted her.

Her professionalism and warm personality put us (and our guests) at ease, even though we aren't used to being in front of a camera. The photos she captured are stunning, and the price was unbeatable.

Kandid Art Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Rural Retreat, VA

I’m Artur full-time wedding photographer behind the Kandid Arts. As a wedding photographer with roots in Europe and a heart in the United States, I bring a unique blend of cultural influences and experiences to my craft. Born and raised in Eastern Europe, I developed a passion for photography that has only grown stronger during my last few years in the United States. For the past 6 years, I have dedicated myself to the art of wedding photography, capturing the love and joy of couples on their special day.

Working with Kandid Art was overall a great experience! They showed up on time and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. Though the wedding ran a bit behind, they were flexible. The photos turned out beautiful, and they got creative with the locations given the cold, rainy weather. They even got some funny shots of the kids at the wedding that are some of my favorites! The video was also good, although I don't love that they had to use like stock music for the background (I guess it's because of copyright issues with other songs?). I wish they would have included audio of the vows rather than the cheers of the attendees, so make sure you ask them to do that if you want it! I do love that they provided us with all the raw video footage though, as some of the most special moments didn't make the highlight video. Due to the event running behind, the cost increased a bit (which I was asked about after the wedding) due to the 2 photographers needing to split up to cover the shots. I wish they had asked me or the Wedding Coordinator about that on the day of so we could understand better what was the issue, but it was a minor thing in terms of communication. Overall 8/10 rating and would recommend.

Amanda was the best choice for our wedding photographer. I was overwhelmed by the cost of other photographers and often felt like photos were too posed or stiff. We also had a lot of family dynamics to work with with several blended families. But Amanda's calm, kind, and patient personality immediately put us at ease. On the day of our wedding, Amanda blended seamlessly into the guests, capturing the most beautiful, fun, and editorial shots without us even realizing she was there. The value we received was incredible - the previews we've seen so far are beyond what we could have imagined, perfectly preserving all the special moments that made our day so unique and memorable.

The quality of their work was exceptional - they were efficient and captured high-quality photos that allowed us to remember every moment of our special day. Wild Elegance went above and beyond, scouting locations for photos along the entire drive from our venue to the reception. They provided 3 days of photography coverage, ensuring we could relive every part of our wedding. The team was super efficient during the event and provided us with truly unique and inspiring photos. We are thrilled with the service and results from Wild Elegance and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
