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!
Candelaria was such a joy to have as our photographer on our wedding day. She was personable, fun & experimental. She really made our vision come true and has a great eye for her craft. She was really easy to be around & made everyone feel comfortable. Getting ready with my bridesmaids was really fun & silly, and she only added to the lighthearted & warm feeling. Both me and my husband were amazed at all of the different shots she got - she captured everything. We did not feel her presence during our dances or the ceremony yet she managed to get every candid shot we could have wanted. She was also so sweet to talk to leading up to the big day & we got a really good feeling about her from the first phone call. We really enjoyed working with her & couldn’t 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
