Hold on to your seats ladies and gentlemen!  This wedding is going to take you through an assortment of emotions.  I’ve never cried so much during a ceremony in my life!  Brittany and Mike both have that aura about them. One that makes you feel at ease and like you’re amongst the closest of friends, no matter if you are strangers or not.  These two kind of fell into my lap and even though I know my friend was far more deserving than myself, I am so grateful to have meet these two and am still so honored to have witnessed their intimate day.
These two are not a traditional wedding kind of couple.  These two are adventure lovers!  I mean, they are moving to Colorado after all!  They scratched the traditional wedding and headed to one of the most incredible islands in the Caribbean,  Antigua & Barbuda!  Brittany wanted their own private bungalow with breathtaking views and boy did she choose well!  CocoBay Resort was stunning!  You should have seen my first 30 minutes there!  I may have been a hot, sweaty mess, but I was blown away by their plant life!  I hadn’t even made it to the beach or bungalow and I was in love!
Brittany looked absolutely STUNNING in her Lillian West illusion lace gown.  It was a show stopper and is likely only part of the reason why Mike couldn’t take it anymore and started sobbing the moment she came walking towards him.   These two were the perfect Island couple with island vibes!   They both had hand written their vows to each other and I think I can speak for the entire family when I say we all lost it the moment Mike started to read Brittany his vows to her.  These two couldn’t be any more perfect for each other.  These two bestowed so much upon me and I will be forever grateful.  This will be one for the books, always.

Im Candace, your good vibe, plant lover, extraordinaire!

My approach is all about having fun and making people do weird things - which are actually super adorable on camera. I'm your girl if you want to feel extra comfy in front of the camera and have a good time while doing it.
