Cassandra is a gem!
Cassandra was our wedding photographer for our destination Key West Wedding at the Hemingway Home in February 2022.
From our very first emails back and forth Cassandra was friendly, kind, professional, and excited to help me. I definitely went through an extensive list of recommended Key West photographers and in the end I went with both my eye and my gut. Once we partnered together, Cassandra worked tirelessly to get our shot list perfect and all of our location demands set up. We chose to have Cassandra and a second shooter picked by Cassandra (Isabelle Eubanks - she was fabulous) for 8 hours, which would take us to the end of the reception. We had a very tight window (about 3 hours) before the ceremony to get both groom/groomsmen and bride/bridesmaids getting ready (at different hotels), a first look, Fort Zach beach portraits, family formals, and pre-ceremony Bride and Groom shots at the Hemingway Home. Cassandra orchestrated everything and even coordinated with the videographer crew to get everyone at the right place at the right time.
Before selecting Cassandra, I asked if I could see some of her nighttime reception photos since it would be dark outside the entire time at ours. She graciously let me see another bride’s online album and that was so kind and helpful of her. Some of my favorite photos were captured with the flash during the reception.
Included in our package we had Cassandra take photos at our rehearsal dinner. Its so lovely to have professional photos from this event and to have been able to meet Cassandra in person before the wedding day.
Two mornings after the wedding Cassandra dropped off a wedding present at our hotel lobby for us to pick up. It was so special and she went above and beyond. And about a week after our wedding we were able to see a “sneak peek” of many beautiful photos which was so wonderful and exciting!
About 8 weeks after that we received our complete edited online album. There were so many photos! And so many photos that I adore! I have gone through them countless times and I just love them so much. I could not be happier.
Included in the package we purchased we were to get a physical album so I started working on selecting photos for that. It was no easy feat! Cassandra worked with me every step of the way helping me select colors of the album cover, fonts, and layouts. She ordered the album, personally checked it, and mailed it to me - along with a special note and personalized hearts. The album is gorgeous, extremely high quality, and will be treasured forever.
Cassandra is one of the sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. She worked so hard on finding the perfect “first look” location, the logistics of going to Fort Zach, and finding solutions at every turn. Through countless emails and phone calls she was in my corner. My bridesmaids, my family, and my new in-laws had nothing but glowing things to say about Cassandra and her team.
I would not hesitate to have Cassandra as my photographer for any special event. She is a gem!
