Hey, I am Kandis!
I would love to tell you how much I LOVE photography, but hopefully my work will speak for itself. Instead I want to tell you about myself.
I am the mom of two beautiful daughters, Elle and Ava. We LOVE to travel! If there is an adventure out there, we are ready to find it. I have been a professional photographer for 13 years! I am currently living in Salt Lake City, Utah until my move this summer to Idaho. I spend a lot of time in both states and I'm excited to be able to have clients everywhere.
I believe life is meant for JOY so I choose joy every day. Let's meet!

Kandis was more than a photographer; she was a friend, confidant and the bridesmaid you didn't know you needed! She took and produced the most beautiful photos from our day that le...
ft us beyond speechless. Her attention to detail, light, portrait, landscape and everything in between gave us the gallery of our dreams.
We were coming away from a previous photographer that ghosted us, had awful communication and we were frantic to find another. Kandis listened, wanted to talk in person and give me a sense of peace and ease to know this would not happen and I could trust her. Kandis truly cared about us beyond just being a couple to photograph. She not only invested in our day but also in the moments leading up to it and our future.
She was so remarkable our guests even saw her weeks after the wedding, remembered her, and approached her to tell her how beautiful her photos were and how fun she was to have at our wedding. We were truly, truly blessed to have Kandis as our photographer and can't wait to use her again.
Any questions?

As the mother of a young bride I had the challenge of finding the right photographer to fit our needs. The most important thing to me was family portraits. Kandis was so organize...
d and efficient in wrangling everyone and organizing us into a small window of time we had.
Never planning a wedding before I really relied on Kandis for her knowledge and the most effective way to get everything of importance within our budget and time frame. Her knowledge and experience showed in not only her skills with the camera but with her communication and her ability to work under pressure.
Wedding days are stressful and I was a mess. The first thing Kandis did was put her arms around me and tell me everything was going to go smoothly.
We ended up running overtime with some of our timeline and Kandis stayed an extra 30 minutes without charge to make sure she got all the important parts.
Her turn around time was fast and gallery we received was filled with a variety of images in both color and black and white. She gave us a variety of formal portraits and candids. A lot of detail pictures as well as things we didn’t even think about having photographed but we are so glad she paid attention to the small details.
I am so glad we landed on her as our photographer and when my next three daughters gets married we will use her again.

Oh Bev, thank you for the kind review. I’m so grateful you decided to have me photograph ...
J’s wedding. I recall seeing you standing in the bridal suite so overwhelmed and stressed that I couldn’t help but give you a hug. I’m glad that meant something to you, it meant something to me too.
I am so grateful for clients like you.

Kandis is an absolutely phenomenal wedding photographer! From the very first email to the final delivery of our photos, she was prompt, professional, and incredibly attentive to ou...
r needs. She made us feel so comfortable and confident, ensuring that every important moment was captured beautifully.
What truly sets Kandis apart is how she went above and beyond to make our day perfect. She took the time to double-check with us not only before the wedding but also on the day of, making sure she understood exactly what we wanted for specific shots. Her attention to detail and dedication to capturing our vision was remarkable.
Kandis provided a stunning variety of angles and poses for similar portraits, allowing us to pick our absolute favorites. Her artistry shines through in every image, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Beyond her talent, Kandis is incredibly kind and friendly, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. She was the epitome of professionalism, and her warm demeanor put everyone at ease.
We would hire Kandis again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who truly cares about their clients and delivers exceptional work. Five stars aren’t enough to express how grateful we are for Kandis and the beautiful memories she captured for us!

I wish that I were here to leave nothing but a glowing review of Kandis and Wish Photography, however, that is not the case. Having been the one to encourage booking her services I...
feel the weight of responsibility as mother of the bride for the short comings of what was delivered at my daughters wedding and reception for the one lasting memory of her special day - the photos.
Kandis was a minimum of 15 minutes late to the church which left everyone and everything feeling rushed just prior to walking down the aisle. The arrangements of people and photos was very disorganized for what the bride had requested as this was done by text message with Kandis prior to the wedding. Upon her arrival to the church all the same questions were asked again and then not many of the requests were followed.
The photos finally received are beautiful. I have to mention though, that there are many repeats of the same pose, some just black and white or a change in zoom.
The biggest issue was the early departure from the reception. No word or text saying there was any sort of issue with the mysterious “bee sting” just now being disclosed, or mention that she would be leaving several hours early. Not that night. Not the next day, or even the next week. My daughter went over a month with no response from Kandis. I had to reach out myself to inquire on delivery of the photos. In fact, my daughter had to finally research and find her personal social media page to get any sort of response to inquire what happened the night of the wedding and reception. In discussing this with another of her clients, there was also an early departure issue at their wedding as well.
While there was a resolution reached between the parties, we would have much rather had photos of the events of the evening. The dance party, the guests at the reception, the bride and groom jumping into the pool. So many memories missed because our hired photographer was simply not there to capture the memories that we had planned to be able to save forever.
Kandis has a great talent ~ and much room to grow and improve professionally. I would definitely recommend a great place to start would be checking in and out with your bride and those that have hired your services.
Just a side note as well, it’s strange that there is really nowhere on her own websites that a client is able to leave a review. Only what she chooses to post. Please be aware.
Response from Wish Photography on 08/27/2024
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. However, I need to address several i...
naccuracies in your review to provide a clear and accurate account of the events.
Firstly, I want to clarify that I arrived at the church on time as scheduled. I was not late, and I captured all the requested photos at the church and all pre-wedding requests. Ensuring that I am punctual and well-prepared is a top priority for me.
Regarding the images, they were delivered within the time frame outlined in our contract. As part of my standard practice, I always verify verbally with every client on the day of the event to ensure that the specific images they want are captured. Additionally, I often provide both black and white and colored versions of the same image, as well as a variety of focal lengths. This is done to offer my clients options, as preferences can vary regarding cropping and focus.
Concerning my early departure from the reception, I did have to leave earlier than planned due to an unforeseen issue, but I refunded more than the time I didn’t cover and offered to provide proof of the reason for my early departure. Despite leaving early, I did capture the dancing at the reception, as well as many other important moments.
Lastly, I would like to clarify that I have never accepted reviews directly on my website. All reviews shared publicly are through third-party platforms where clients are free to express their genuine experiences.
I understand the importance of your daughter’s wedding day and the emotions tied to it, and I regret that there was any disappointment. However, it’s important to address these misunderstandings to ensure clarity. I remain committed to providing excellent service and am always open to further discussion if needed.

Hi! My name is Maranda. I had a wedding that Kandis photographed (kind of) back In July, and she started off great…
I booked her for 8 hours of the day, starting at 3:30pm, so I w...
as expecting to have her closer to midnight. Unfortunately she left about 4 hours early (and i’m being graceful by rounding down to 4 hours) missing photos from the ENTIRE rest of the night including the dance party, jumping into the pool at the end, etc.
I then proceeded not to hear A WORD from her after calling, emailing, texting, dm’ing on social media, etc. up until today, being August 26, 2024, because I did my own detective work and found her personal facebook page to which I messaged her on. Also to which she proceeded to tell me she got a bee sting, so she had to leave. Which is totally understandable except for the fact that you’d think as a professional SHE would be the one to follow up?
We did come to an agreement on reimbursement but truly, I am so heartbroken to not have had a single memory of what was the most fun part of the night for me and my husband. I would not recommend her, if you want professionalism. The two stars is because the photos she DID capture, were great.
Response from Wish Photography on 08/26/2024
While some of Maranda’s review is accurate is not true in its entirety.
I did leave the...
event early due to a bee sting and when my Epi pen didn’t do the job I needed to go to Instacare.
I did not leave 4 hours early but 2.5. And I did acknowledge that I should have reached out and explained the situation afterwards and I failed at that and take responsibility.
I did in fact offer her a refund for more than the time I didn’t cover as well as offer her an anniversary session. I also told her I would provide proof of my Instacare visit. It is an unfortunate situation and I am embarrassed I missed a part of the night that I did. I should have been more communicative like I am with all my clients. This was an exceptional situation that has never happened and I apologized and offered to make it right and I did make it as right as possible.
I have been in business for 16 years and have photographed hundreds of weddings and sadly this happened on this day when I didn’t have a second photographer booked with me.
I have apologized and hoped my efforts would have been ample enough.
She was a lovely bride with a beautiful wedding.

Having a mother as a photographer I knew I was going to be picky finding someone who lived up to my expectations. With Kandis it was easy. She was thoughtful, friendly and fast. ...
I was amazed at how fast she captured everything and moved around. Half the time I didn't even realize she was there. When we got back our wedding images I was in complete shock that she got things and moments I didn't even realize she was getting. I will forever cherish her as our photographer.

Our wedding photographer cancelled on us 2 days before our wedding and we were in a scramble. A friend was familiar with Kandis and her work and suggested we contact and see if she...
could help us. In a last minute effort Kandis rearranged her schedule to help us on our wedding day. She was so helpful and kind. Everyone felt comfortable around her and her professionalism to arrange a large group was amazing. We were so thrilled with the outcome of our images that even though it was stressful having our original photographer cancel we are grateful because we now have amazing images we love. Kandis, you're amazing and we are grateful you were part of our day.
