About

Coast-to-coast transplant. Daylight chaser. Expert online shopper. Multi-tabber. Perpetually in wanderlust. Fried chicken aficionado. My name is Cassie and I am a hybrid film + digital photographer, completely fascinated by the human story and the parts of it that we all share. My aim is to tell the story of your love and laughter through images that are timeless and intentional. I believe in storytelling through details, emotional portraits, and finding those quiet moments in the midst of celebration. I love capturing real moments that help my couples remember how they felt on their wedding day, through the lens of my own airy and dreamy style. Does this sound like what you’re looking for? If so, I think we're going to be fast friends!

Highly Recommend!

If you’re thinking of having Cassie as your photographer for your big event, do it!!

Cassie was the photographer for my wedding on October 15, 2022, and she also spent a couple of hours photographing the welcome dinner the night before. Cassie’s personality and charm made everyone feel at ease; even the posed photos look natural since we were all so relaxed throughout.

The “sneak peeks” and final photos were delivered exactly on schedule and they are stunning; I am thrilled with how they came out, and now I just have the struggle of deciding which ones to print!

The greatest ever

Cassie and her team were professional, timely, and took excellent photos. They had the vision that fit ours, and captured the spirit of our wedding. She even sent us a set of previews two days after our wedding. TWO DAYS.

The best of the best!

I am not overstating when I say that Cassie's photography is epic! We worked with Cassie for our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding, and would not have changed it for the world. She is a truly a joy to work and her photos are works of art that we will cherish forever!

You just found the best wedding photographer in the world!

We couldn't be happier with Cassie!!

She's an amazing photographer and was SO helpful throughout our planning process.

She's super professional, fun and friendly to work with. She also took control when she needed to so she could wrangle our group and make sure we got the shots we wanted!

We also were blown away by how fast we received highlight pictures to share with friends before our entire package was ready!

Hire Cassie now!!!!

Cassie was a bright spot of 2020

I initially met Cassie when I volunteered to help some close friends with their family portrait session as the official puppy wrangler. I have always felt uncomfortable in front of a camera but after seeing Cassie at work, I knew I had to reach out about my own upcoming wedding. Like most 2020 brides, it has been a roller coaster of a year. We postponed our celebration but decided to elope in Big Sur, just the two of us. On the day, I woke up feeling very bittersweet, especially without my family and friends there with us. I was questioning if this was the right decision for us but now we look back and know this is the day that got us through the most difficult year of our lives. Cassie truly went above and beyond to make it special for us -- scouting the best sites for pictures, facilitating a sweet first look, helping us feel comfortable and like ourselves in front of the camera, giving direction when we were feeling a little hesitant. It was initially difficult for me to trust one person with how our day was going to look but I would do it again in a heartbeat. The pictures really speak for themselves. Cassie is incredibly talented, professional, committed, easy to work with, and truly brought out the best in both of us. I will cherish these pictures for the rest of my life.

If you want to treasure your wedding photos forever, go with Cassie

I found Cassie through my wedding planner Events by Satra. I was interested in having someone with experience with Indian weddings. Cassie was so prompt in replying and sharing photos from Indian weddings (plural!) that she had photographed.

My first thought was shock when I saw those photos and now, when I see my own gallery of wedding photos. Cassie is an amazing photographer! She made my entire wedding look so bright, light, sophisticated, elegant, and just.... perfect.

She is so great at directing couples and made it so comfortable for us follow her directions and not feel awkward. In fact, she helped us loosen up and have fun with it, and it really shows in the photos.

She's professional, has a fantastic energy, a great attitude and a good sense of humor. My husband in particular was impressed - and he didn't understand why I was painstakingly selecting our photographer!

Overall I am so happy we chose her and would do it again in a heartbeat.

She made it easy and fun!

Cassie is an incredible talent and a joy to work with. She was our photographer at our wedding, and nearly a year after the wedding, I look back at the photos as delighted with how they turned out as the very first time I saw them. She captured the event perfectly and was very professional and great to work with from the very first time we met. She got to know me and the groom and made us both feel comfortable and relaxed, and we had so much fun taking our photos (and our bridal party, family and all of our guests did too)! I had very specific requests of the kinds of photos I wanted and when and where and she helped us make it all happen. Highly recommend Cassie and I can't wait to have enough event and photo shoot with Cassie.

Absolutely amazing & Unbelievably Talented!

Cassie, where do we begin. Cassie is an absolute dream to work with. She is extremely professional, yet very personable and easy to work with. She shared in our vision for our wedding and helped us bring it to life. We were new to the area and Cassie helped us plan our entire engagement shoot, and she selected the most perfect location that was aligned with our vision. The photos belong in a magazine. For our wedding, Cassie was extremely prepared and quickly became a part of our family. She traveled 3000 miles to capture our wedding day, and we will forever be thankful. We received sneak peaks of our wedding the same exact night of our wedding day! It was incredible! The photos are incredible! Our wedding day was a dream come true, and Cassie was at the center of it. We highly highly recommend Cassie. She over delivers on her product, is passionate about photography, and works with you to make your dreams come true. Thank you, Cassie.

From the moment I spoke with Cassie, I was immediately at ease. She is so easy going and relatable (have you read her bio?), and her vast experience was so valuable in walking us through our own wedding planning. To add some color, we had a split venue due to our morning ceremony, door games and a tea ceremony inbetween the 7 hour break, with over 200 guests at the banquet.

Despite our large guest list, Cassie was able to deliver our album in exactly one month. The final curation was so thoughtfully chosen, edited, and arranged. Each photo was relative the next, stringing together a series of expressions that told the story of our special day. The shyness captured between my partner and I during our first look, even with 6 years under our belt (those were some of my favorites). The crazed, yet some how perfect shots of my face when I laugh, even with my mouth wide open. Mike's love when he smiles at his grandma. Our parents' open pride and joy. Cassie took all of these fleeting moments and held them still, so that I could relive one of the happiest days of my life twice.

Cassie has a gift of capturing people and places in an honest and beautiful light. Her photography, much like herself, has a very natural and weightless charm. We are so happy to have chosen her and we know you will too.

Cassie was just amazing to work with. I wanted someone who could take beautiful photos, even in simple settings. I was having a small backyard ceremony, so I was planning everything on my own. She made recommendations on timelines for the best lighting, which was super helpful to me. I thought taking pictures would be awkward (we're camera shy) but she made us feel so comfortable, it felt really natural. She was great with the guests, even when they got in her way at times. I could not imagine anyone else taking our wedding photos.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
