Candice Nyando Photography

Candice beautifully and expertly photographed my wedding, including engagement photos. She has an unbelievably sweet and wonderful presence which creates an environment where everything that is natural about my relationship with my husband came through. She created a photo documentary of the most incredible day of our lives without polishing it in a way that wasn’t genuine. If you have not seen her incredible, moving photos of African peoples, you must. She can photograph anything and tell a deep story in the process.

It was such an honor to have Candice capture our wedding day at Convict Lake Resort in Mammoth Lakes, CA. While perusing her galleries, I fell in love with her natural lighting, artistic angles, and modern keen eye for creativity. I knew instantly that she would be able to narrate our wedding through her photography. Candice was straight forward, professional, and connected with us to ensure the style and feel of our wedding day. All of our communication with Candice was through email and phone calls as I live in Los Angeles, CA. She was always quick to respond, dependable, and exceeded my expectations. Her suggestions and opinions were extremely helpful as she has plenty of experience in the wedding industry. I highly recommend Candice to those looking for someone who captures the true and raw moments of emotion. I’m positive you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Candice! XOXO

We were so lucky to have Candice as our photographer for our North Lake Tahoe wedding. We got married June, 2010 and from planning day one, we knew the most important person we hired would be our photographer, as these pictures would be our memories. From the very beginning Candice was warm and made us feel at ease. She even took the time to come meet with us months before the wedding just so we could meet her and make sure the vibe was right. We were impressed with her dedication as well, always following up, asking for pictures of the wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, our website etc, just to get a better feeling of who we were as a couple and what our vision was.
Candice was so amazing day of!!! Right on time and just threw herself right in the mix. She had the perfect mix of blending in and letting things happen organically, but also took control when she needed to, especially during the wedding party portraits (we had 15 bridal party members!). It was so great to be able to relax and be our newly married selves in front of the camera, and that was all due Candice and her easy energy and professionalism.
We got to see our pictures within a month of our wedding and they brought us to tears. She captured so much emotion, and the pictures are beautiful and so real. She captured the whole wedding and every time we look at the book she created for us we feel as if we are being transported back and re-​living the whole day. Its an amazing feeling to actually experience so much emotion by looking at a picture.
We were so happy with Candice and her work from the moment we found her online through when she sent us our final book and prints. She is an amazing photographer. Thank you Candice!

Candice rocks! She is worth every penny you pay for her. She is an artist… I can’t stop looking at my photos!

Candice Towell is a great photographer for both portraits and weddings. Candice has the kind of eye you’re born with, but obviously has worked hard to sharpen her skills. I would trust her to memorialize those once-​in-​a-​lifetime moments and to do it with style.
Plus, she’s a wonderful person. Her work in Africa is just an example of that.

We aren’t local but through word-​of-​mouth, we eventually received Ms. Towell’s name. We hired her for a family reunion and wedding event in Tahoe.
It was the first time the whole family had been together in many years and we asked that she take not only standard wedding shots but also ones of grandparents with children, families etc. It was a very big deal for us and Ms. Towell was excellent, professional and quite engaging with the kids.
I’ve worked with a lot of people in the Bay Area but Candice really provided us with what will ultimately become family history. Thank you!
