About Candy Nogales Photography
Candy Nogales Photography
*PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE TO SUBMIT A CONTACT FORM AT (personal information protected by Zola).* MY WEBSITE IS UNDER MY PHOTO ON MY ZOLA PAGE. Hi, I'm Candy! I love capturing all of the raw, beautiful moments as they naturally unfold on your wedding day. Candids are some of my favorite photos! Don't worry; I will most definitely get those posed family photos as well, but for most of the day, I'm there to document it all as it naturally happens. I would love to chat with you more about your wedding plans and how I can be a part of documenting it!
My focus is making you feel comfortable, relaxed, and free to be yourself. I want your photos to make you feel like you really see yourself or your relationship in your photos. My approach: I keep you moving. No rigid, stiff posing. Movement, interactive, prompts, and capturing those in between moments that are really you.

Budget Stretch, Zero Regrets
I was a 2025 bride, and to be completely transparent, we originally planned to spend no more than 3,500 on a wedding photographer. After speaking with Candy, we decided to invest 2,000 more than our initial budget, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Candy’s communication is truly exceptional—you can immediately tell she loves what she does. She is incredibly creative, adapts effortlessly to any situation, and brings such a calm, confident presence. She’s never pushy, yet she directs with grace, which made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I were married at 21c Museum Hotel in Durham, and we wanted a blend of elegant, traditional wedding photos along with fun, fashion-forward, editorial-style images—and Candy absolutely delivered on both. Her editorial shots look so effortless, even though you can tell there’s a lot of intention and artistry behind them. We inquired with five different wedding photographers, but we immediately connected with Candy—her personality, professionalism, and stunning work stood out from the rest. Beyond her talent, she is genuinely one of the sweetest, most humble, and human people you’ll ever meet. Candy offers a truly elevated wedding photography experience, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for timeless, editorial, and heartfelt wedding photography.
Excellent experience and photographer
My husband and I booked Candy right on our first call with her. She was so warm and charismatic, and my husband really connected with her background in the legal field—being an attorney himself, it gave him so much peace of mind knowing she’s detail-oriented and a great communicator. Working with Candy was an incredible experience from start to finish. We weren’t just looking for someone to take pretty photos—we wanted someone who would make the process easier, bring a calm presence, and still have an editorial eye for beautiful images. Candy delivered on all of that and more. She went above and beyond to make sure everything felt seamless and elevated. If you're a couple in the DMV area looking for someone who truly gets it—she’s your girl.
Classy, Elegant and vibrant colors
From the moment we first reached out to Candy, her communication was consistently professional and personable. Candy herself was so kind and patient with us throughout the entire process, never making us feel rushed during our photo sessions. The quality of her work is truly amazing - the photos are elegant and vibrant, perfectly capturing all the special moments of our wedding day. Candy has an incredible eye for detail and we are thrilled with how the photos turned out. We couldn't have asked for a better photography experience and highly recommend Candy Nogales Photography to any couple planning their wedding.
wonderful experience with Candy
We can't thank Candy enough for the incredible job she did capturing our wedding day! From our first meeting to the final delivery of our photos, her professionalism and warm approach made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Candy has an eye for detail and a unique ability to capture authentic moments. She effortlessly blended into our celebration, making us and our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera. The result? Stunning photos that perfectly reflect the joy and love of our special day. We’re absolutely thrilled with our wedding album and can’t recommend Candy highly enough to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated photographer! Thank you, Candy, for giving us memories we will cherish forever! With love, Roxana and Thomas
