AWARD WINNER

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.

I wrote a review after our engagement session but I absolutely have to write another review to praise the amazing work Kodie does. It goes beyond photography. Kodie & her team made...

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!

Kodie and her team exceeded all expectations we had! She truly stepped in and stepped up to help with everything (including fixing my dress) on our wedding day. Her communication a...

nd attention to detail leading up to the day were unmatched and she made sure everything was done smoothly and to perfection. She was so positive and helped pose us perfectly to get the best photos. She was beyond professional and the best addition to the day. We would not have had such an amazing wedding day if it was not for her!!

Kodie was absolutely incredible to work with. Not only were the photos stunning with so much natural light, but she really listens to what matters most to you on your special day. ...

She’s warm, professional, relaxed… everything the couple needs on what can be a jam packed day! Thank you, Kodie, for capturing moments we will never forget.

Five stars is not enough to give Kodie and her amazing team! I have never met a professional who cares more about their work and clients more than Kodie. From the very beginning, K...

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!

doesn't like taking pictures. We selected her because she does great natural light photography, which we love. So if you want to take pictures in wooded are like we did at My Greener Pasture or at the beach She is the best photography for the job. We will be taking pictures at least twice a year with her. Her work is definitely worth the investment.
