Kodie and her team are absolutely amazing! Our wedding was captured perfectly and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kodie, Nick and Bri made everyone feel relaxed and made the experience so fun. I didn’t think it was possible to capture a more perfect representation of who Ryan and I are but Kodie really outdid herself. Months later and I still look at all our pictures like it’s the first time seeing them. I can’t thank Kodie and her team enough, we will definitely be using her for all photography needs in the future. I promise you won’t find anyone better (as a photographer and person)!

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer and videographer, I cannot recommend Candid Moments by Kodie enough! From the very beginning, Kodie put so much time, effort, and care into making sure every detail was covered. Her pricing is incredibly fair, and the quality of her photos and videos far exceeded my expectations. On our wedding day, she was truly a calming presence in the middle of all the chaos. She even arrived at our venue early to scout out the property and find the best photo locations before guests arrived. She kept everything on schedule while making the day feel effortless, always took the extra time to fix my dress and adjust the little details, and made sure I got every photo I had envisioned. I never felt rushed and always felt like she genuinely cared about capturing every special moment. When we received our photos and videos, I was completely blown away. They are absolutely stunning and everything I had hoped for. She also delivered everything within the timeline she promised, which made the experience even better. I’m so grateful to have photos and videos that perfectly capture our wedding day and that we’ll cherish forever. If you’re considering booking Kodie, do it—you won’t regret it!

Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot

I am a Naples wedding photographer and family photographer serving Marco Island, Fort Myers, and all of Southwest Florida with the flexibility to travel for destination weddings and special events. I was born and raised in Florida and it is an honor to capture love stories and family milestones in the same beautiful community where I grew up. I have a 5 year old son, twin babies, and a supportive husband who encourage me every day to keep building this dream. Photography and videography have been my passion for as long as I can remember. In 2018 I started Candid Moments by Kodie as a side business and through hard work and dedication I was able to turn it into my full time career. Today I specialize in creating bright, bold, true to color images that preserve real emotions and genuine connections. My style is centered on capturing candid and natural moments filled with laughter, tears, and all the in between details so couples and families can relive their most important memories for years to come. Whether it is a wedding, engagement session, maternity shoot, or family portraits, I approach every session with heart and creativity.

Kodie and her entire team were absolutely phenomenal from start to finish! They captured every special moment of our wedding day so beautifully, and looking through our photos and ...

watching our videos truly lets us relive the day all over again. Their talent, creativity, and attention to detail are incredible. What truly sets Kodie apart is her ability to capture all the little moments that you don’t even realize are happening throughout the day. She documented every smile, every glance, every laugh, and all of the beautiful details so perfectly. We were absolutely blown away by how she captured everything—from the big, emotional moments to the tiny details that made our wedding uniquely ours. Not only is the quality of their work beyond anything we could have hoped for, but they also got our photos and videos back much sooner than expected, which was such an amazing surprise! Every image is stunning, and our wedding films are beautifully put together. We honestly couldn’t stop smiling (and crying!) while watching them. On the wedding day, Kodie and her team were professional, organized, kind, and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They blended into the background when needed while somehow managing to capture every meaningful moment. We will cherish these memories forever. The photos and films Kodie created are keepsakes that we will treasure for the rest of our lives, allowing us to relive the best day of our lives over and over again. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who will exceed your expectations in every way, look no further. We are beyond grateful to Kodie and her team for giving us these priceless memories. They are worth every single penny, and we truly cannot recommend them enough!

absolute pleasure to work with. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured every special moment so naturally—from the big emotional moments to the small details we might have otherwise missed. Their attention to detail and ability to tell the story of our day through both photos and video was truly incredible. The final images and video exceeded all of our expectations. Every time we look at them, we are transported right back to those precious moments and emotions. These memories are something we will cherish for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a talented team that genuinely cares about their clients and delivers exceptional work, we cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you for preserving the memories of our wedding day so perfectly! ❤️📸🎥✨

our wedding day perfect. Kodie had our Pinterest board on hand and captured every image we wanted and more. Kodie is fun and excited about her work. Kodie is creative, talented and professional. She answered every call and text before our wedding. She kept us on our timeline for our wedding day. She captured EVERY detail on our wedding day! I truly cannot put into words how amazing she is! If you are looking for a wedding photographer (and dream team!) look no further!

odie was such a joy to work with and made our entire experience so special. Our engagement pictures were an absolute dream. She made us feel so comfortable taking our first ever professional photos, had so much fun in the process, and the end result was so amazing. Her talent in those only made us that more excited for the day of the wedding. Kodie was so generous to actually tour our venue before our wedding date because she had never shot there before- traveling more than four hours total in one day. I have never worked with anyone before who was so willing to do that big of an ask without hesitation. We received our sneak peeks… to say they are absolutely AMAZING is truly an understatement. These photos are so special, Kodie captured our most precious moments so beautifully, better than I could have ever imagined. I don’t think I realized how involved a photographer would be involved for the whole day of your wedding, but I was the luckiest bride in the world to have Kodie, Nick, and Bri there by my side. Not only did they match my excitement and energy, they were so professional so that we stayed on time for the day. I would never recommend any other photographer other than Kodie for anyone looking for wedding photographers! I don’t think a review will ever truly describe how incredible Kodie is!

photos that we get to cherish forever. One of my bridesmaids enjoyed our time with her so much she ended up contacting her for a pregnancy announcement photoshoot. Lastly, she followed through with her timeline. We were blessed with the sneak peaks she provided a few days after the wedding and then received the full album before the full eight weeks after the wedding. Highly recommend working with Kodie!

Her work is definitely worth the investment.
