Best Decision Ever

We could not have asked for a better experience and photographers to capture our wedding day. From the very first meeting, Cass made us feel comfortable, understood our vision perfectly, and brought such a warm, calming presence to the entire experience. I truly felt like I had made a new friend who wanted the best for us. On the day itself, Marcy, Ellie, and Lauren did it all. They felt like family even though we had just met, and captured not just the big moments, but the tiny, candid ones that mean so much to us. The photos are beyond anything we could have imagined - and that is just speaking on the sneak peaks!! Every time we look through them, we’re instantly transported back to those exact moments, and that is such a priceless gift. Our family and friends have not stopped talking about how stunning the images are and how fun Marcy, Ellie, and Lauren were to have around. If you are looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and truly passionate about their craft, look no further. We will treasure these photographs for the rest of our lives and are endlessly grateful to C.Mae for telling our story so beautifully!

Don’t look anywhere else for your photography needs, you have already found the best if your reading this review. From our initial conversation, to the thoughtful text on the morning on my wedding, to touching base just to make sure I was good, through the entire process they have been incredible. We worked with Marcy and Ellie for our wedding day, they made us feel so comfortable, like we had been friends for years, which translated to us having the most amazing wedding photos! Stop your search and book with them now.

Amazing work!

Communication was amazing throughout, they helped build a timeline, we hired their videographer as well. We received a complimentary engagement shot with our package and our photos are amazing. Two photographers got all the right shots and went above and beyond.

Dream Photographers

Working with C.Mae Design for our November 2022 wedding in Milwaukee was an absolute dream. Cass was such a calming presence during the entire planning process and Marcy and Ellie were an incredible team day-of. We had a high wind advisory and sporadic rain throughout the day (plus the cold and darkness typical of November in WI) but we never once worried about our photos because Marcy and Ellie knew what they were doing. They made us laugh so much, stuck to the timeline, and remembered all the small details. Our photos turned out better than we could have imagined and we are so thankful we had an experienced team of photographers by our side. Cass helped us through all the pre-wedding details like our timeline, which included important details we never would have thought of on our own. Choosing C.Mae was the best decision we made for our wedding and we highly, highly recommend them to anyone who wants piece of mind, incredible photos, and a fun, energetic team of talented photographers.

Best wedding decision!

Selecting Cass and her team as our wedding photographer was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! Cass was incredibly helpful and organized as we tried to figure out not only the plan for our wedding photography but our run of show overall. As soon as we spoke with her on Zoom (we are on the east coast but planned a WI wedding) we knew we had our photographer. We were left with such good vibes and felt super excited to work together. We were assigned Ellie as our day-of photographer, and the communication with her and Cass was top notch leading up to our wedding. Ellie was amazing day-of, and directed us through poses that felt natural. She effortlessly floated amongst our small group (we hosted a micro-wedding for 20 people) and captured so many unscripted moments that we'll cherish. This was the first time our families were meeting in person - for such a big and momentous occasion I can't image how we would have felt with a photographer who didn't have the attention, organization, and humor that Ellie did! We got our gorgeous (GORGEOUS!) sneak peak photos early the next day, and got to share with family and friends which was an unexpectedly moving moment to share. Overall we can't say enough great things about Cass and C.Mae. I've seen that they are limiting their bookings a bit more in 2023 to ensure that they have adequate time to devote to their couples, so if you're still searching for a photographer we HIGHLY recommend that you reach out to them and see if they'd be a good fit! It was pure luck that they were available for our date, and we're so grateful we found them!

Don’t think twice, book them

I cannot say enough great things about this company and Cass. We hired C.Mae for our wedding this fall and they were absolutely amazing. Our pictures are beautiful and I kept getting compliments from our wedding guests on how great our two photographers; Marcy & Ellie were. They definitely were a dream team and I’m so glad they were able to capture our day. Cass was great as well, very organized and professional. She created a timeline for me for wedding day and it was a life saver. It definitely took some stress off my plate. Don’t think twice, book them now. Thanks again C.Mae ❤️

Look no further -- this is it!

C.Mae Design needs to be at the top of every future bride's photographer list. This team is INCREDIBLE -- to say the least. From the first phone call with Cass, I knew this was my team. She is the calming force behind a stressful time in wedding planning. More importantly, Cass ensures that this is a good match, which I never realized was so essential to a smooth day. She consistently checks in and ensures that each couple is comfortable and excited about what's ahead. Once everything is scheduled you meet the rest of her incredible team. I was fortunate to have the ever-powerful, mother-daughter duo, Marcy and Ellie and my goodness they are EXCELLENT. From details you wouldn't have ever thought of to impromptu pictures of guests during the ceremony, no detail is left undiscovered. They allowed me to feel so confident and relaxed throughout my entire day -- plus, I don't think I ever stopped laughing! I will forever be thankful to them for capturing a day with such true emotion!

I received a sneak peek of both engagement shots and wedding shots within 12 hours of having my pictures taken. I also received our entire gallery of shots about a month after our wedding date. Everything was done with such attention to detail and each shot was beautiful!

If you are looking for a caring, fun, high-spirited team this is it. I will never recommend anyone other than Cass and her team. My entire family has SO much love for them! Thank you, C.Mae!!

Best Photographers Ever

Amazing company! Would 1,000% recommend!
We had Marcy for our engagement pictures, which turned out amazing. Taking pictures isn’t my husband’s favorite thing to do, but Marcy made it fun for both of us the whole time. Then we had Marcy & Jackie for our small wedding ceremony and received so many compliments on how fun they both were to work with. And those pictures turned out just as amazing. Finally Cassie & Laura did our 1 year anniversary celebration which was also, well, amazing! C. MAE photography makes it easy and natural to take amazing pictures. I highly recommend them for any photography you need. Seriously, book them.

Amazing Team & Experience!!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Cassie and the team! From our first meeting with Cassie, we knew this was who we wanted to shot our wedding. We loved her vibe and how much experience that she has in the business. Let me start with the engagement session! Marcy was amazing, she was so kind and made us feel some comfortable. I had planned on wearing a scarf with my outfit, but in the hustle of the morning I forgot it. Lucky, Marcy had one in her car that she so kindly let me use for the photos. We love how the photos turned out! Next, we loved that Cassie helped us plan out the whole day, because to be honest we had no idea what we were doing. We had Marcy and Abby shot out wedding, they got every detail shot that we really wanted. Marcy and Abby were nothing but a joy to work with once again they made Slater and I feel soo comfortable. We loved the option for the sneak peak slideshow during the dinner, it was amazing. I tell everyone that if they need a photographer C.Mae are the people. I just can’t thank Cassie, Marcy and Abby enough. I get sooo many complements on my photos, and I can’t stop looking at them!

C. Mae Design LLC is wonderful!

Cassie is not only a fantastic photographer but a superb human being! She was present and in the moment every time we met with her and made all the time needed as we navigated planning a wedding during Covid 19! Daniel Lesniak and I have loved her photography for quite some time and it truly was an honor to have her capture our love at our engagement photos and on our wedding day. She made our first look photos feel like it was the first time we met or said "I love you" to each other! We will forever be grateful for the memories we now have in photos!
