Candid Connection Photography - Red Deer, Alberta

Jessica was absolutely fantastic to work with from our engagement photos to our wedding photos and all the planning and communication in between. Our wedding was in Kelowna and Jessica was so energetic and enthusiastic the entire day! She truly made the entire day so special and memorable. She danced on the dance floor with us and sung her heart out with us as well. Jessica even brought her laptop with her to our venue and was editing photos to pass around on an iPad for everyone to see a couple sneak peak photos from that day (which I totally wasn’t expecting, I was so blown away!) Jessica even gave us 150 sneak peak photos just 6 days after our wedding date and the FULL gallery just 10 days after our wedding date!! I have nothing but good things to say about Jessica and I truly consider her a friend after this experience. I recommend Jessica to anyone needing/wanting professional photos done. Thanks again Jessica! 🙂

Jessica was the most amazing vendor to work with and we could not be happier with how our wedding photos turned out. She has a way of putting everyone at ease and she also has a wonderful eye at catching some truly beautiful moments on film. Do yourself a favor and book her before she fills up. You will not regret it!

I love Jess, that’s it. That’s the review 😂 but really, she is so wonderful and really knows what she’s doing. She makes everyone feel so comfortable and has such an eye for detail! I highly recommend her for any photo needs!

There just aren’t enough words to possibly describe how amazing each and every photo that Jessica snaps. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course expressions.
Jessica is an extremely personable individual, with an artistic eye, she will make your experience memorable!! Great photographer to work with. She is energetic, engaging, and a lot of fun!
Jessica creates magic. She has captured the most special moments of my family’s life. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience. We have done family photos and engagement photos and wedding photos with Candid Connections and we absolutely love all our pictures!

If I could make this 100/5 stars, I would!

My now husband and I reached out to Jessica in a unique circumstance…we wanted to book her for an engagement session and a wedding five months away, but we weren’t officially engaged yet…
Her tone of surprise, yet total excitement to share in our whole journey was contagious! From our very first phone conversation, I just knew that Jessica was not only going to be an incredible photographer, but also an amazing friend. When we did get engaged, I emailed her to share the exciting news and she replied instantly with so many capital letters I could feel her excitement and support!

Our engagement session, was phenomenal! Both my husband and I were a little nervous as we don’t really enjoy being in the spotlight, but Jessica made all of the apprehensions disappear! She willingly drove more than an hour to the location that we desired and proceeded to take hundreds of pictures all the while laughing with us and cheering us on! Who would’ve known that with the photography we also got our own personal cheerleader!

And! Not only is she a cheerleader, but she is also a personal wedding planner! My husband and I knew that we wanted a unique wedding day filled with details that reflected our personalities, but we didn’t quite know how to fit it all together. Jessica gave us such great advice which just speaks to her experience in the field of weddings. She was also readily available as we approached the big day and included all the last minute events. Her recommended timeline was spot-on and the whole day felt so relaxing and enjoyable. She put so much thought into every detail and truly wanted it to be “our day”. We wouldn’t have trusted our wedding day memories to be captured by anyone else!

On our wedding day, Jessica arrived early to scout out the venues where we wanted pictures done and then met us early for pictures!!! We were completely shocked and we felt so incredibly blessed. For her, photography is truly about her clients and capturing their experiences and memories. This permeates through every moment that you spend with Jessica. Also, she not only treats the bride and groom like royalty, but this treatment extends to the whole bridal party and every single guest. My parents, siblings, and bridal party could not stop saying how much fun they were having the whole day and “Jessica” and “fun” were always in the same sentence. Jessica makes everyone feel special and important.

At the end of our time together, she even created a mini sneak peak of pictures for us to watch DURING THE RECEPTION!!! Our family and friends were absolutely stunned to say the least. Now a month later, whenever our family and friends talk about the wedding, Jessica’s pictures AND her demeanour are always highly praised. I have even had family request to get sessions done with her!

Her gift of photography has been such a tremendous blessing, but even more importantly, she has truly become someone who I hope I can always keep in touch with, especially when circumstances deem more memories to be captured. Keep being you Jessica!💕

Jessica was one my best decisions when it came to wedding planning! She helped keep me calm leading up to the big day and calm and mostly on schedule the day of the wedding.
We absolutely love our photos and every time we go back to look I find more that I
Missed the first time. So many candid memories from our special day. Any thing I asked for she was up for and made suggestions to help make photos better or timeline things to.
She was fun to be around and felt more like a friend!
Could not recommend more!

My husband and I hired Jessica as our photographer for our engagement session and wedding, and we could not be any more pleased with our experience and photos! She was incredibly friendly and supportive from our initial contact, made taking photos fun and easy, and was open and understanding to specific requests throughout the process. Jessica responded quickly to any questions we had and offered her professional insight and guidance with wedding day planning and coordination. After our wedding, quite a few guests commented on how lovely our photographer was, and how seamlessly she navigated through the day and captured our special moments. She is incredibly personable and has an eye and heart for photography. We had our engagement session in the mountains and our wedding photos done in downtown Calgary, and in both settings she was able to capture the beauty of the area. I highly recommend Jessica if you are looking for a photographer!
