Candelaria was amazing to work with! My husband and I absolutely love the photos she took for our big day. She was able to get so many beautiful portraits and candid shots of us and our guests. She was very professional and adaptable - highly recommend to anyone looking for a photographer.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Candelaries for our Wedding day photos! The final gallery is breathtaking, and we received the photos much faster than expected. We cannot recommend her enough!

I capture what cannot be repeated:
the fleeting moments.
Passionate about nature, people, their stories,
and the spaces in between.
I'm Candelaria — a photographer and visual artist, born in Chile and currently based in Chicago, US.
I studied Design and Photography in Santiago, Chile, and have worked on visual projects for over a decade, collaborating with brands, artists, and individuals who trust in the sensitivity of my vision.
I work with natural light whenever I can. I like to observe in silence, wait for the moment, and tell stories.
I offer personal sessions, portraits, editorial and brand photography, and visual storytelling for small and meaningful events.
I’d love to hear your story — and help you preserve it through images that will last forever
