Why did you start Candid Creations?

Favorite part of the day to capture?

The moment when they announce the couple during the reception and all of their loved ones are cheering for them.

After my own wedding I realized how important it is to have someone documenting the raw and candid moments from your wedding day. The day goes by so fast and you are able to relive the happiest day of your life immediately on your own phone.

Fun Fact: 

Hi - I'm Mackenzie Moore!
I was born and raised in San Diego, CA with my two siblings and amazing parents. I have an extensive background in customer service and social media over the last eight years. Having worked in both these fields I understand the importance of the emotions and energy of a special day, while keeping things light, fun, and stress free.

When I'm not capturing content, you can find me selling homes because I am a full time real estate agent.

Hi, I’m Priscyla daCosta—a 28-year-old wedding content creator based in Southern California. With 4 years of experience in social media content creation and marketing, I’ve developed a deep love for visual storytelling. My passion for storytelling naturally led me to the world of weddings—capturing authentic moments, raw emotions, and all the little in-between details that make each love story unique—and I’d be honored to help tell your story.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually shooting film, exploring new places, sipping matcha, or chasing after my toddler.

Hi, my name is Sommer! Im 25 years old. I was born on a small island called Saipan and moved to San Diego when I was 4 years old. I was born and raised by the ocean, and I cannot imagine living anywhere that I cant drive to the beach and be on the sand.

I grew up in huge family with three siblings, two amazing parents, and more extended family than I can count. I love hanging out with them and making memories. This is one of my favorite parts of weddings. I love seeing the special bonds between the bride, groom, and all the guests; and how everyone is there to create memories and celebrate their love. It is truly so special and I strive to capture those little moments between loved ones that make a big day on camera.
