- Candace PaulyOwner, Lead PhotographerI'm a small town photographer with a professional look. Whether you're thinking of eloping in one of our beautiful state parks, or utilizing one of our many wedding venues with breathtaking and expansive views, it's always great to ask a local! My studio is located in Lampasas, TX, just a short drive from dozens of hill country venues.

Candace was a great photographer and even better person to spend our wedding day with. From the first email to the multiple phone calls, she was extremely accommodating with our ou...
t-of-state planning and helping us get exactly what we wanted. On top of meeting us months in advance for an engagement photoshoot, she also provided us with a lot of additional tips and ideas to help our entire day go smoothly outside of photography. Most importantly, her photos are amazing. She captured every emotion and detail of our wedding and we couldn’t have asked for more, even with the limited time that we booked with her. We highly recommend Candace for capturing any event that is worth remembering.

We knew from the first time we saw Candace’s photos that she was the right photographer for our engagement photos and wedding. Her storytelling images are absolutely breathtaking, ...
and she does such a fabulous job directing posing to truly capture the moment. Our engagement photos were breathtaking and well worth the drive to Hill Country to get photos with the buffalos 🦬.
During our wedding, Candace and her assistant arrived on time and were right away capturing photos. They were even able to wrangle the “boys” to get their photos (when, of course, they wanted to shotgun beer). Candace and her team were able to capture a wide array of photos, and I can not wait to see the final cuts! The sneak peaks are absolutely stunning!!!

e experience enjoyable. I know for myself, I was immediately put at ease with Candace behind the camera, which allowed me to relax and enjoy my wedding day. We just got our sneak peeks, and I am just completely blown away with how beautiful our photos turned out. Candace has a way of not only capturing the moment without making it feel staged, but also capturing the atmosphere as well. Even our detailed shots are stunning. I am just in awe of Candace's work and am so thankful she captured my special day. I will truly cherish these photos. I highly recommend hiring her for all your wedding needs.

I have one word to describe what it is like to work with Candace - amazing! She is incredibly professional and also so friendly. She instantly put me and my fiance at ease for our ...
engagement shoot at her bison ranch. The photos are absolutely gorgeous and will remain a keepsake in our family. If you want someone who has clearly invested a huge amount of time and effort into studying her art, Candace is the person to work with.
