James Katt - Owner of Candlewood Photography

Growing up on Long Island, James Katt was a dreamer. Whether longing to explore the local beaches or the twinkling lights of Manhattan, his untrained eye always sought out the small details most children tend to overlook. His first experience with photography seemed innocuous enough: Handed a disposable point-and-click by his Grandfather at a museum, James quickly embraced the unusual thrill of being in control of the camera. The resulting prints showed promise, and his Grandfather was quick to praise young James' composition and creativity. A love of looking through the lens was born.

Life is beautiful - It’s a collection of moments in time, a story longing to be told and to be celebrated…moments to hold onto. James has made it his mission to capture these moments and help tell your story. Photography allows us to hold onto those fleeting moments in our lives and encapsulates them so we can go back in time and relive the joy of our families and have a laugh or two at times when life gets crazy.
