Wedding Photographer
Professional wedding photography across the United States
National Wedding Photography
Since 2016, Candid Studios has documented thousands of weddings across Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Texas, Illinois, and New York — capturing not just the ceremony and reception, but the nervous laughter during first looks, the tears during father-daughter dances, and the chaos of the bouquet toss. Our wedding photography packages include a pre-wedding consultation, a detailed shot list built around your timeline, dual-photography coverage for ceremonies over 150 guests, and a professionally edited gallery of 400-800 images delivered within four weeks. We shoot with mirrorless full-frame cameras and fast prime lenses that thrive in low-light reception venues, so nothing gets missed when the dance floor opens up. Every couple receives a private online gallery with unlimited downloads and a print release, making it easy to share with family or order albums. What sets us apart is our documentary approach — we direct when needed for family formals and portraits, but step back during the moments that matter most to let genuine emotion tell your story.

What Our Clients Say
- ★★★★★
Ryan captured every single moment perfectly and got some great candid shots. How he managed to be everywhere at once and the quality of service and photos delivered was beyond what I expected. I have gone on to recommend him to friends who are getting married soon and will continue to do so. If you need a photographer for your wedding or any special event, Ryan with Candid Studios is it!
Natalia Villegasin the last week - ★★★★★
After our first consultation with Ryan, we knew we had chosen the right photographer for our wedding. Not only is Ryan highly professional but a joy and so much fun to work with. He made us feel so at ease, making us laugh & just enjoying each and every moment and it truly shows in the beautiful photos. He captured so many of the special candid moments with such attention to detail and creativity. Going through the finished photographs brought me to tears (happy ones). It was like reliving the day all over. Every photo touched our hearts in some way and we will cherish the memories forever!! Thank you Ryan and your team for all your hard work & dedication in making our wedding day in photographs so stunning! You have a true gift for capturing people’s emotions and it certainly shows in the quality of your work. We would highly recommend Candid Studios!! ***** Linda P. & George K. 5/2/26

Sylvester King7 months ago - ★★★★★
We contacted Candid Studios to capture our wedding ceremony and reception. Ryan and Michael were friendly and attentive. They provided us the direction we needed on our special day and made sure we got all the shots we needed. Their turn around time to release the images was quick. The final photos were beautiful! Would recommend.

Wedding Photography FAQ
Most couples find 8-10 hours ideal, covering getting ready through the reception. For smaller weddings or elopements, 4-6 hours may be sufficient. We'll help you determine the right coverage based on your timeline and venue.
All packages include a pre-wedding consultation, full-day coverage with a lead photography, professional editing of every delivered image, a private online gallery with download access, and a print release. Premium packages add a second shooter, engagement session, and wedding album.
You can expect approximately 50-80 edited photos per hour of coverage. A typical 8-hour wedding yields 400-600+ professionally edited images. Every photo is individually color-corrected and enhanced by our editing team.
Yes, and we highly recommend them for weddings with more than 75 guests or multiple simultaneous events like separate getting-ready locations. A second photography ensures complete coverage from multiple angles and captures candid moments you'd otherwise miss.
We recommend booking 12-18 months in advance, especially for peak season dates (May-October). Popular Saturday dates book up quickly. However, we sometimes have last-minute availability, so don't hesitate to reach out even for upcoming dates.
Rain creates some of the most dramatic and romantic wedding photos! We always have backup plans and work closely with your venue coordinator. We carry weather-sealed equipment and creative lighting to ensure stunning results in any conditions.
You'll receive a sneak peek of 20-30 images within 48-72 hours. Your full gallery is typically delivered within 4-6 weeks. Rush delivery is available for an additional fee if you need images sooner.
Absolutely! We photograph weddings nationwide and internationally. Travel fees vary by location but typically include flight, accommodation, and a per diem. We love destination weddings and have shot everywhere from mountain lodges to tropical beaches.
Your retainer secures your date exclusively. If you need to reschedule, we'll transfer your retainer to the new date at no charge (subject to availability). Cancellations forfeit the retainer, though we understand circumstances change and handle each situation individually.
Absolutely. Every wedding is unique, and we believe your photography package should be too. Contact us with your vision, timeline, and budget, and we'll create a custom proposal tailored specifically to your celebration.
