Hi, I’m Joalize Griesel the eye (and laugh) behind Candid Click Media.

Founded in 2019, Candid Click Media was born from a love of storytelling through the lens—real, raw, and joyfully unfiltered. I’ve had the privilege of honing my craft under the wing of the incredibly talented Izette Krogman of PixlPixi Photography, who taught me everything I know about wedding photography. Her guidance (and endless patience) has been priceless, and I’m forever grateful.

As a lifestyle and wedding photographer, I specialize in capturing the in-between moments—the spontaneous giggles, the windblown hair, the quiet glances that say more than words ever could. I believe the best photos aren’t posed—they’re lived. And yes, I will probably crack a terrible joke just to catch your genuine smile!

Let me create something real, beautiful, and uniquely you.
