Candid Studios is a wedding photography and videography studio founded in 2016 by Ryan Mayiras. One coordinated photo + video team covers your day, so your photos and your film tell one story instead of two vendors competing for the same moments. We shoot weddings, elopements, engagements, and corporate and milestone events.
We cover Miami, Fort Lauderdale, the Palm Beaches, Orlando and Tampa in Florida; Denver, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs and the mountains in Colorado; plus Chicago, Columbus and destination weddings. 3,000+ events captured.
What couples notice first: prices published up front (photography from $995, videography from $1,095, photo + video from $1,995), free RAW files with every package, professional editing, a high-res online gallery and print release, and typical delivery in 2 to 4 weeks (rush available). Fully insured, with venue certificates on request.

Our story started in Colorado: Ryan began in tech repair in Steamboat Springs, moved the business to Fort Collins, and built Candid Studios into a multi-state studio after early engagement and wedding work took off. Today the team is focused on authentic storytelling, not stiff posing, and every proposal is tailored to the couple or brand.
