FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love a chat over the phone. If possible I like to meet in person over some coffee and get to know my clients as well as help them dream about their upcoming shoot.

About
Hi! My name is Nate and I am the founder of Candid Captured.
I shoot anything from weddings, to real-estate, to graduation pictures, to
family photos, etc. You name it, I shoot it!
The only services I don't provide are newborn photography and boudoir photo shoots.
I've been shooting for 8 years and don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
I shoot on a Canon R6 MII.
I love shooting with natural light but I'm not opposed to use lighting of my own.

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos! From the first consultation to the final edits, Nate was professional, warm, and incredibly talented. He captured every emotion—with such artistry and attention to detail.
The lighting, composition, and candid expressions made each photo feel like a scene from a romantic film. We were blown away by how beautifully everything was documented. We especially loved the way Nate made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, turning what could’ve been a stressful experience into pure fun.
If you’re looking for someone who can turn your wedding day into timeless visual poetry, look no further. We’ll treasure these photos forever.

We loved working with Candid Captured for our corporate happy hour in Indianapolis. He arrived early, communicated clearly, and asked thoughtful questions to capture our vision. Sharing photo previews during the session was a great touch, and the final images were delivered quickly and seamlessly. The quality of Candid Captured’s work truly speaks for itself. We highly recommend Candid Captured (Nate) for any photography needs!

Nate gave me exactly what I was looking for! He did candids for my workout photoshoot and they came out perfect - lighting, quality, and conceptually. He was punctual, professional, patient, and his price was more than fair. Whenever I need more photos he's who I'm going with!
