Candid Moments Photography & Film

de our wedding day super special. Doug has an eye for the 'right shot' and was able to capture some super special moments. He and his team are very organized, clearly masters of their craft, and made our wedding day super easy. If you're looking for a photographer in the Philly area-Doug and Candid is the way to go.

ad a drone that captured the church and the venue perfectly! I am so happy we used them! Highly reccommend Doug!

the stress of the day go away. The way that Doug reacted to some of the shots when he looked at his camera made me SO excited to see the actual photos! When your photographer gets excited about his own work, you know you're in good hands. We just recently got our photos back and I cannot be any happier! I have already recommended Candid Moments to a couple of friends who are getting married and I will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks.

think that anything could beat our Disney pictures. Let me tell you, we were wrong. Our pictures are even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! We worked specifically with Georgi and Adam, who endured extreme heat to take our photos. They were an absolute dream to work with and had wonderful ideas to incorporate our families and make the whole picture process enjoyable (even with the heat!). Our family and friends also noted how kind and sweet the two gentlemen were throughout the whole day! Most notably, we had issues with the managers of our venue the day of the wedding, and our videographer was unable to be a part of one part of the day. Doug, the owner of Candid Moments, sent us a very sweet email explaining the whole situation before it even became an issue with us. He handled the whole thing so well and we could not be happier with our end result! My cousin will actually be using Candid Moments for her wedding next year and my sister also has plans to do a shoot with them as well! We really could not be more pleased!

ever have imagined. Everyone I have shown them to has told me they need to be on billboards. We couldn't have picked a better person to capture all our special moments. I would recommend them to anyone!!

at it is so hard to choose which ones are our favorites! Doug made the day run so smooth and stress free as he was so calm and collected even when we were running a bit behind schedule! He made sure all of our props and photos we wanted were taken and didn’t bat an eye when I last minute asked to do a mini photo session outside as it started to snow for about 30 minutes during our cocktail hour! You will not be disappointed if you choose Candid Moments! Doug and his crew were the best choice I could make on our wedding day right next to choosing to marry the love of my life!

The pictures from his wedding were absolutely beautiful, and both photographers had been very pleasant to work with. When it came time to choose a photographer for my wedding, I still researched other companies. However, after speaking with the owner, Doug, we very easily decided to choose Candid Moments. Doug did an engagement shoot for us, and we were so thrilled with the photos - my husband and I are both so awkward in front of cameras, but Doug managed to make us look like naturals. Throughout the planning process, Gina was so helpful at keeping us on schedule and reminding us when we had to make decisions. She is very on top of things! Doug was the lead photographer for our wedding day on April 13, 2019, and brought Matthew as his 2nd shooter. We were absolutely thrilled with their professionalism, but also loved that they were so personable and easy to talk to. It made the whole day so much fun! Matthew even climbed into a cherry blossom tree to shake the branches in order for Doug to get a perfect shot of us under the tree. Their dedication to getting the right shots is just astounding! We received our "sneak peak" photos less than 2 weeks after the wedding, and they are absolutely stunning. We can't wait to see the rest, because we know they all turned out well! We highly, highly recommend Candid Moments to anyone looking for a photographer!

onalism, but with how much he was familiar with our wedding venue (the Talamore Country Club). We immediately knew we had found our photographers. After looking through the photos of the different photographers, we selected Georgi as our lead photographer. We first met him for our engagement shoot in August 2018 and couldn't believe how beautiful the photos turned out! Then on our wedding day we had both Georgi and Kevin as our photographers. They both worked so well together to truly capture all of the special moments throughout our big day. Georgi and Kevin and both so easy to work with and do a great job at making you feel comfortable. If you're looking for a professional, experienced and reliable photographer, then choose Candid Moments. Gina (their office manager) was extremely helpful and thorough at answering all of our questions along the way. Then after our wedding was over, we were shocked at how quickly we received our wedding photos! We couldn't have asked for a better photography team!

exactly what we wanted and all the sneak peaks for the wedding so far have been stunning. All the staff I spoke with were always happy to answer questions and assist, even so far as to sending me a few photos early so I could have them to do thank yous. Would highly recommend!

and Gina (their office manager) were so good about communication and expectations. They clearly laid out what each package included, took the time to see what we wanted out of our wedding photography and helped us choose the right package for us. We did not feel pressured for an up-sell or add-ons that we really did not want. During the planning process, Doug was fantastic, but he’s a busy guy (Because he and his other photographers are amazing)! Gina was AMAZING when it came to communication. And Doug took the time to conference call us a few times while planning the event to help with photography timelines, offer suggestions and make sure we were getting what we wanted. We really appreciated his help and expertise. On the big day though, our photographer was Kevin – and we could not have been happier with him. He called us the week before to finalize timelines, again – offer suggestions and make sure everything was in order. From that phone call we could tell that we were going to have a good time working with Kevin. On the day of, Kevin made sure we had his contact information and kept in constant contact leading up to and during the events. He helped staged the perfect “first look” photographs, and really made the whole process a lot of fun! During the ceremony, I must admit that I was not focused on Kevin, only on my husband to be. But, after doing our first look photos and outdoors portraits before the ceremony – we knew he’d capture everything we wanted. After the ceremony he did an awesome job of keeping to our timeline and commanding the attention of our family – which let’s be honest, for any family – it’s like herding cats. But, they listened to him – we got all our requested family shots with time to spare. At the reception we did our thing and Kevin continued to photograph what we were looking for – the venue, people portraits, candid moments, the details, etc. Our guests were even having a great time with him. I honestly cannot wait to see our photos, I just know that Kevin was the perfect person to capture our big day – and we could not be happier with him and the whole Candid Moments Photography team. They were amazing, and we would recommend them to anyone. Thank you!

photo session with prior to the wedding day. We did not have a long engagement, and I wanted to get my save the dates sent in a timely manner. This was during a time of very cold weather in January. Our package included a 1.5hr engagement photo session, but it was too cold to be outside for that long. I spoke with the owner, Doug, on the phone multiple times and he arranged for Kevin to meet up with us for a quick 10-15 minute session to get enough photos so I could pick one for the save the dates. They arranged this at no extra charge, and we still had our full 1.5hr session once the weather warmed up. I was impressed with their understanding of my concern for sending save the dates. Communicating with everyone at Candid Moments was easy throughout the planning process. Once the wedding day came, we had Kevin and Georgi. Kevin was WONDERFUL! He captured all of the details during the time when the girls and I were getting ready. He even showed me the easiest way to carry my long train. Kevin and Georgi made a great team and the photos they captured were amazing! I could not be happier with Candid Moments in every single way.

so that I can see the rest of them! We had a photo booth as well and our the attendant, whose name I think was Lauren was super friendly as well! I would honestly recommend them to anyone! Doug, was so flexible with everything that allowed us to get the perfect package that fit to what my husband and I were looking for! Every aspect, and every person we talked to was beyond friendly!

o Gina answering every email I had practically within minutes of me writing it. They were all amazing. My pictures came out absolutely stunning. I’ve been getting so many compliments. It rained on my wedding day, but Kevin worked magic and made me feel like regardless my pictures were gonna turn out great and that is exactly what happened. I would recommend this company to anyone and everyone that is getting married. Love Love Love them!!!!

are beautiful and I can’t stop looking at them! I love how attentive they are; and when I have a question, they get back to me within 24 hours. It was so cold and windy out the day of the wedding but they still wanted to get outside pictures; I am grateful because there are so many great ones and I don’t feel like I am missing out!! I mostly love the "outside of the box" photos that Doug took; never did I think, that I would be standing on a table, in my wedding dress, in the middle of the hotel lobby and it is one of my absolute favorite photos! The different ways they took pictures was truly amazing and I am so glad we chose them for our special day!! Thank you so much, Doug, Adam and everyone else that has been part of this process!!!!

staged and they seem to really capture each person's personality. We met at his studio to talk pricing, see pictures, meet Doug, and immediately knew he was the one we wanted. His personality was great- calm, funny, friendly, stress-free; exactly what you want in a photographer that you are going to spend the whole wedding day with. We had a couple phone calls throughout the planning process and he was always available if I had any questions. Day of he was great at directing us as we were taking pictures, was organized, had all his equipment that we needed. He made everyone feel really comfortable and learned all the bridal party and families names! Once the ceremony started, you wouldn't even know he was there, he blended in so well. During the reception, I did spot him in the corner dancing a bit while he was looking for his next shot, which I thought was so cute. Late that night, he pulled us aside to get this awesome rain shot outside, which was so cool. When looking for a photographer, make sure you find someone with a personality you can enjoy because you do spend a lot of time with them! We are so happy we chose him to do our photos!

I imagined, and no photo looked forced. They only reflected the laughter, fun, and love that filled our special day. We highly recommend working with Candid Moments Photography!

and I was so impressed with him and his work that I knew that I wanted to have him photograph our wedding. We first met with Doug at his studio where he showed us more of his work, as well as his other photographers work and also went over in detail packages and pricing. He was extremely professional and took a genuine interest in getting to know more about us personally. While all of his team of photographers do outstanding work, we decided to go with Doug because we really loved the artistry of his photos. We definitely made a fantastic decision! We just recently received our photos and are completely thrilled with them! Our wedding day went by so quickly and it was so hard to remember a lot because so much was happening, but Doug was wonderful in having captured all of the moments we were missing as well as the moments we were caught up in! He was so friendly and easy to work with and so many people, especially my mom, commented on how much they liked him. Also, I must mention how fabulous his Studio Manager, Gina, is - she was so quick to respond to any questions I had and was constantly communicating with us before and after the wedding. Lastly, a very big "THANK YOU!' to Candid Moments Photography for such a beautiful and amazing job! Carole D

o work with as far as answering email in a timely manner and being understanding with everything. The second photographer we had was Daniel. He was very cool. He took a lot of great pictures of my husband and the rest of the guys. I got amazing pictures and I could not imagine my big day without them. Having Kevin be so laid back was a big help. If I had to do it all over again I would still chose them.

videographer he always made wonderful suggestions for creative photos for my hubby and I. They got us a sneak peak of photos quickly after the wedding and did a wonderful job with the photos they provided when they were all ready. In general they were great and I'm so happy we used them!

meetings, coordinated our the engagement photo shoot and wedding day details and was extremely helpful designing our wedding album. We had Doug and Daniel as our wedding photographers and loved all the pictures they took. Doug made us feel super comfortable right from our first meeting. He made sure he got all the shots I requested and also got tons of great candid pictures. We're so glad we chose Candid Moments to photograph our wedding. We love all our pictures, the slideshow they made for us and our beautiful album!

ures! I (the bride) was worried about not having enough time to take all of the pictures I had planned, but Kevin assured me we'd be fine, and he was right -- it all worked out and I am more than pleased with the final products. My husband and I love our slideshow and we are excited to show all our friends and family photos from our special day. We'll cherish them forever! Thank you so much! :)

knew just where to go to get the shot. He is so experienced and such a nice person. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful and we had the best time with Doug and Georgi. They didn't miss a single moment and were not intrusive at all. We have gotten so many compliments about not only how amazing our pictures are but also how nice they were. Gina in the office is also amazing to work with, she is very helpful and quick to respond. I would recommend Candid Moments to anyone looking to get professional photos done. They are the best!

giving weekend), and he kept us calm and collected. All of our guests were commented on how professional he was during the whole event. He was very easy-going and always ready to take any photos we requested. We can't wait to see our finished wedding photos!

with, and is an incredible artist. Gina was also very helpful in coordinating our photos and providing all of the necessary details, and she was always so friendly. We were beyond impressed with our engagement photos, which made us even more excited for the wedding photos. We received our wedding photos today, and I hope it says something that I am already writing the review. We were completely blown away by the emotion, love and happiness caught on film. Doug and Georgi represented who my husband and I are as a couple beautifully, as well as our family and friends. Not only were they great photographers, but they also helped organize the day and keep us on schedule. I am now so thrilled to have the gorgeous sunset photos of my own that I fell in love with a year and a half ago. Candid Moments will absolutely exceed your expectations for your wedding! THANK YOU!

ng. It was so hot (91 degrees) and they didnt complain one bit nor did our pictures suffer from it. Doug made sure we captured every moment and made sure we were comfortable doing it. He even offered to walk my Grandmother to her car at the end of the night which really made my night! Thank you for everything Candid!

were beyond pleased with every aspect of their service. Adam and Kevin were great - they were fun, kept our bridal party relaxed and comfortable, and took phenomenal shots. As our lead photographer, Adam made sure he got every shot we asked for without any hassle. Doug was also very helpful in locking in our final details before the big day. I truly cannot say enough good things about Gina, the Studio Manager...the woman is a SAINT! She worked with me every step of the way, keeping me on track with planning and always getting back to me so quickly. I value someone who can keep me moving on my tasks; Gina was perfect in doing this, without ever being pushy. I wish I had half of her organizational skills! Many thanks to you all for making our day amazing and helping us to remember it all for years to come!

comfortable with a camera are just a few of the things this company is amazing at. Doug is easygoing, flexible, and always fabulous with time management. Our memories will truly last a lifetime with these photos! Adam was our second photographer, and provided incredible images from some out-of-the-box angles, some from places we didn't even realize he'd adventured to to get the perfect shot! The vibe we got from Doug and Adam kept us feeling easygoing and free to have our day flow, and they truly were a big part of making it flow smoothly! THANK YOU a million times over, you are the best! - Aaron and Nicole

took the most beautiful pictures. His staff was incredible! My husband is not comfortable in front of the camera and they respected his space and still captured the perfect pictures and all the personalities of our group! I loved the packages Candid offers, we were able to get engagement pictures done before our wedding pictures. The engagement pictures were a preview that showed how awesome Doug's work was going to be. We plan on hiring him again in the future for all of our family pictures as well. I can't thank Candid enough for being part of our day!

ur experience nothing short of perfect!

d offered a variety of wedding packages. We chose Sean Schofield to be our photographer for our wedding. He was an absolute joy to work with and I highly recommend this super talented photographer. He also shot our engagement photos which came with our wedding package and they also turned out amazing. Sean was able to capture the beauty of our wedding and also took photos of all the small details that helped make our day so special. We woke up to a very stormy March day which halted plans for photos outdoors, but Sean was able to make our photos beautiful by choosing unique spaces inside. Our package came with a highlight video which we were able to share with our friends and family which was great. We are now working on finalizing our wedding album. I highly recommend Sean and Candid Moments Photography as a photographer for your next event.

from a friends wedding and knew that I had to have them for my wedding. We did our engagement pictures with him and love them. Leading up to the wedding he was very organized, and they were amazing to communicate through via email. The day of the wedding they were very calm and relaxed and made sure that we got through all the pictures that we wanted. Both Doug and Ashley were fun and had a great eye for pictures. A great feature that he had was that during the reception they edited some of the earlier photos and displayed them for my guest to see. I can't wait to see the final product of them all, but I know it will be amazing from working with him for our engagement photos, as well as seeing the previews. I have also gotten MANY complements from family & friends about how much they love the pictures, and I have Doug and his staff to thank for that! I HIGHLY recommend Candid Moments and I hope to work with them for future photos.

dn't resist the urge to look at our "sneak peek" photos while on our honeymoon, and we were just blown away by how beautiful the photos were! My husband and I are very normal looking people, but Doug's photos made us look like were were straight out of a magazine. Among Doug's strengths is his knowledge of venues in the area. He had done shoots in both our church (St. Thomas of Villanova) and our reception venue (Ridley Creek State Park) before, and he knew just the right places for us to take photos. They looked other-worldly, and not at all like standard bridal party shots. Another of Doug's strengths is his use of light and composition. When looking for photographers, I found that many vendors' photos looked dark, but Doug is a master with both natural and artificial light. No weird shadows, and everyone had a very subtle and flattering "glow" in our photos. He also set up our posed shots to look very organic. Our photos look very timeless, not like a lot of the trendy photos you see these days that will be out of style in a few years. Whatever your budget is, do not skimp on photos! It was a stretch for us, but having photos this beautiful is beyond worth it. Working with Doug and his staff has also been a pleasure. We felt very comfortable with Doug from our first meeting with him, and that comfort extended to our wedding day. He also worked well with our friends and family members, including our flower girl who has autism and doesn't always do well with strangers. Doug was responsive and organized, and his services are timely. We had sneak peek photos at our reception, and a slideshow video to share with friends and family within weeks. We have not yet assembled our album, but I have every confidence that it will look beautiful. I don't know how in the world we'll narrow down the photos. My mother-in-law ordered some large photos from his website, and there were initially some errors in size, but Doug quickly redid the prints for her. Thank you, Doug! You have truly immortalized our wedding day.

r wedding day was perfect. We had great weather for a November 2nd wedding. The sun came through the leaves and gave us beautiful photos. Doug didn't want to stop taking pictures! We added 2 hours to our package and Georgi was our second photographer. Both were well worth it. We even added the photo booth. Niki did a great job and my guests loved the souvenir photos. We didn't want our wedding to end but now we have all of our wonderful photos to remember the night. We will be using to them again and again in the future. Thanks again Candid Moments! -Missy and Justin

ctures on our "first look" were amazing I can't wait to see the rest of them. They were very attentive from start to finish and replied to all of my questions quickly. Everyone should be so lucky to have a team like them to do their wedding 5+ stars

ed the business) and Giorgi. They were seriously fantastic, they were so easy going, really helped to bring the stress level down, and were so flexible and willing to do what we were interested in doing. Beyond the service being amazing, the pictures are breath taking. We have received so many compliments and have even been asked for their contact information for friends' upcoming weddings! I honestly cannot say enough good things about this company. They are a little pricy, but with memories that last a life time, the price point is more than worth it!

as not sure about how they would turn out, but when I saw the final product I was so happy!! I got married at a country club and they found many different spots at the club so not every picture was the same. Doug and Sean were very easy going and made the day perfect!

e-dates. People are still raving about them! Then the wedding day...Doug is absolutely amazing! He is so easy to work with and we are thrilled with the results! I highly recommend him and the company and I can't wait to use him in the (far away) future for maternity pictures :)

im. We're both a little nervous having our pictures taken, but Doug made us feel at ease in front of the camera.

, but most of the time, I didn't even see Doug taking pictures! He was an integral part of such an important day and you hardly knew he was there! Our guests were so impressed with the variety of pictures he took and the slide show he displayed at the wedding for the guests to see was wonderful! I cannot thank Candid Moments enough for making an already special day even more memorable.

reat because we were able to get to know him and it made the wedding day more comfortable. He was great and takes amazing photos

ilable to answer my questions. Adam was the photographer that I had for my wedding and he was AMAZING!! He was kind and funny and helped to put me at ease. He was creative and passionate about his work. I can't say enough great things about both Adam and Doug. I highly recommend Adam!

our wedding plans and discuss each other’s expectations. On the day of the wedding, Doug and his assistant Adam delivered on everything that we had discussed in our meeting. He went to the Stone House on his own to familiarize himself with the reception site and really helped us to work quickly through the photos we wanted so we could enjoy the company of our guests who came in from all over the east coast. About 3 weeks after the wedding we received our proofs and were making selections for thank you cards and canvas pictures. We’re looking forward to seeing the finished products in the upcoming months.
