Dear Candace...The book came through a few days early.  Which by the way, is absolutely stunning.  Dom and I can't thank you enough for all you've done.

I transferred some of the images onto a separate disk and loaded it onto a lap top, which I brought along on the night of our reception and I have to say the effect was mesmerising.  Everybody looked spell-bound by the pictures and said that we had the nicest wedding photographs they'd ever seen.  Which is a compliment indeed to your skill behind the lens!!

It was the perfect backdrop to our evening and we've been inundated with requests for copies of the photos since then from friends and family.  I think it's also done a lot for Hawaiian tourism, as just about everyone now wants to visit Kauai as soon as possible!! 

It's so important to have photographs you can really treasure and the images you took really captured the spirit of our relationship.  We are so proud of them!!

Wow! Your photos blew us away! They are fantastic! I have to say, they are beyond our highest expectations!

Also thanks so much for getting them done so quickly. Your timing on posting the images was perfect. We were able to review them with my parents on their last night in the US and share our happiest memories once again with them. 

We are so looking forward to seeing the hi-res versions! Thanks again Candace! We'd like to write a review on Yelp for your wonderful work.

Thanks again!

Aloha Candace,
Peter and I were both stunned and grateful for the beautiful photos. We couldn't be happier and I was able to put together albums for everyone that came with us. The memories of the day have been perfectly preserved for both of our failing memories!

Mahalo!

Aloha Candace!

I just wanted to let you know that we are overjoyed with our wedding photos!!!   The ceremony was just lovely and all of the photography is so amazingly beautiful!
 I set up a website to share some of the pics today, I  was immediately flooded with calls and e-mails... Everyone has commented on how gorgeous the photos are. I couldn't agree more and just wanted to share some of their praises...

Wow Wendy,
These photos are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!  Thank you so much for sending them on to me.  I’ve sent them out to everyone else.  Marilyn emailed me back and said it’s a good thing she wasn’t at work or she’d be crying at her desk.  The photographer did a fantastic job.

I looked at your pictures online and OMG (haha) they are gorgeous!! You definitely made the right choice in having Candace as your photographer... they are amazing pictures!

So thank you all again... Virginia for the beautiful ceremony  ... Candace, Fawn and Sebastian for the stunning photography!

Aloha and Mahalo!
Wendy & Justin

...We wanted to write to express our heartfelt thanks for the astonishing photography you captured. You didn't miss a tear, smile, or gentle touch.  You captured everything and we are eternally grateful for your eye.

Dear Candace and Virginia,
Mike and I have viewed our wedding photos every few days for the last couple months since we returned from Hawaii.  It seems like yesterday but also a world away.  Our wedding ceremony was representative of our entire experience on the wonderful and peaceful island of Kauai.  It reflected the sincerity and intensity of uncompromised commitment. Candace and Virginia, both of you treated us with honesty and compassion, which allowed us a wedding ceremony more meaningful than we possibly could have imagined.  Our photos are breathtaking and many of our friends and family have been brought to tears with their beauty.  We sincerely thank you and we wish the best for you in all of your future endeavors.  We hope that everyone you meet treats you with the same kindness that you have shown us. Thank you.

Yours truly,
Michael and Kimberly Aldridge

Candace,
 I just got the pictures today!!! You did a wonderful job! I'm so happy with them. You totally captured the entire story of the wedding. I had to laugh at the one where you caught my mom wiping off the tears. Nice work! She was very stressed that day lol. Many many thanks. I cannot tell you and Virginia how happy we both are about the wedding and pictures.

Thanks!
Love,
Katie & Scott Pfaff

Travis and I just wanted to thank you again for our AMAZING pictures! We couldn't be happier!!!! So many people have complimented us on them, and told us that they look like they are from a magazine. We just bought a house and can't wait to fill it with pictures from our amazing day.

We've had a tremendous response from friends and family to our wedding photos! So many of them have said they are the most beautiful wedding photos they've ever seen. Their comments have ranged from "awesome", "WOW", "stunning", and "beautiful" to "Vogue material", and "exquisite". We love them too, of course! Thank you so much - each one is a treasure.

These are the most real photos I have ever seen from a wedding - every single picture captures what we're really like.
I never imagined they'd turn out this great!

I just wanted to let you know that we got all the photos printed(4x6) and they are absolutely GORGEOUS!!! We really love them and are thrilled with your work. Thank you again for capturing such lovely moments during our ceremony and beautiful portraits after the wedding. I can't wait to give everyone photos for Christmas and I'm excited to start creating our wedding album. I know it's going to look spectacular!

On behalf of both of our families, Carter and I would like to thank you for doing such an amazing job photographing our May 21 wedding on Lanikai. I must admit, we were a little nervous to have a photographer at such a small, intimate family gathering - but you and Virginia fit in with ourgroup the minute you walked in the door! You both had the perfect balance of professionalism and playfulness - making us all feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. We felt like we were being photographed by two friends, not two strangers.

Joanna & Carter

Carter and I are absolutely thrilled with the pictures. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! They are so beautiful - you did a magnificant job capturing our wedding. The colors are so striking, the candid shots are so fun, and you managed to get the perfect shot of each and every guest. We poured over them SO MANY times on the computer this weekend, it will be so hard to narrow them down. I can't believe that you were so many places at once!! We truly couldn't be happier.

If you ever have a potential bride/groom inquiring about your services who want a personal reference, please feel free to send them my way. Thank you again for so beautifully capturing memories for us so we can relive the day forever. (wow, that sounded cheesy!) But I mean it. It is such a special talent...

Joanna & Carter

The pictures are amazing! Our families have been amazed at your style and ability to make posed shots look so natural and fun.

Candace - the photography portion of our wedding was fabulous. This also helped me gain a sense of closeness with Don, and helped make our wedding day fun and memorable. Since we didn't have a reception this allowed for a fun play time right after the wedding. The best part? The part of Don's personality that I love really came out during the picture taking, and I knew why I was marrying him... that memory will last me forever.

We are ALL so thrilled with the photographs you have presented us with! It is so much fun reliving Andee and Santiago's wedding day through your lens. The smiles came very naturally because we felt completely at ease in your company. I'm sure we owe you much credit for how nice we all looked! We each have our favorite shots and there are MANY! It is wonderful having the cd to keep and share with the whole family and friends. As you may recall our group is very geograpically widespread so this electronic avenue is so convenient.
You have done such a terrific job of preserving one of the most joyous days of our lives and we can't thank you enough!

Yvonne & Tim
Andrea & Santiago

Candace, once again, we are extremely grateful for your wonderful photographs. Andee and Santiago are also so pleased. They have compared your work with other professionals (whose work is quite good but simply portrait photography) and they are so glad you were able to do their wedding. The photojournalist background you have is such a benefit to wedding photography. It replays the whole event yet still includes the gorgeous formal prints. We just can't say enough about your work!

Yvonne (mother of the bride)
