Cassandra is great

Cassandra just photographed our wedding, she was extremely professional and her experience showed. She made sure she was in the right place at the right time and was unobtrusive as she did... I would wholeheartedly recommend her!

Unmatched talent! Ease, comfort and lots of fun

It was truly an honor and blessing to find Cassandra from CYoung photography and hire her to be our photographer for our Elopement wedding day. Her artistic approach is unmatched! She is a truly seasoned photographer who made everything so easy for us while she created and captured such magical moments that we now get to cherish in images forever. She captures the emotions in each moment! We got married in Mendocino at the cliffs edge and it was very helpful that Cassandra is also very knowledgeable and familiar with the overall area. She made everything flow seamlessly. She also has a natural quality to make you feel extremely comfortable which lead to achieving breathtaking photos of our most special day. If I could give her 10 stars out of five, that is my rating! Hire her and you will be so happy you did!

Cassandra will create your dream photos!

Cassandra was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She's a true artist with vast knowledge of the Mendocino region, particularly helpful for those planning their wedding from afar. She supported us through multiple phone conversations, planning of logistics, and made us feel so at ease during our wedding photography session. She's super fun to work with, has a great sense of humor, and is extremely creative. Do yourself a favor and hire her!

Captured the Essence of Our Special Day!

Every step of the way Cassandra was warm, helpful and incredibly insightful. Her easy going personality relaxed me and put my day of jitters at ease! In fact, she made the whole process a breeze. She was readily available to answer any questions we had and was flexible when we had to make changes to our timelines. She even helped provide leads on other vendors in the area.

She understood how to work with the landscape and lighting to capture stunning photos! I only wish we had booked her for longer!!

IN LOVE with my wedding photos and video

Cassandra was amazing from start to finish. She was easy to reach, responsive, and helpful when making my timeline and schedule. She was professional, but also made me feel so relaxed and at ease through every moment of our special day. Most importantly, my photos and wedding video are AMAZING. I had my wedding during covid, so it was extra important for me to have photos and video that truly captured our day so we could share it with loved ones unable to attend. Every person has told us it's the BEST video they've seen. She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful! I cherish every photo and memory she captured. Highly recommend!!!

Wedding August 2020

Cassandra was phenomenal! She took care to discuss with me before the wedding exactly the style of photos I was hoping for. Not only did she immediately put me at ease on the day (she quickly felt like a friend!), but the pictures turned out incredible - very authentic to me and my husband. She captured the spirit of the day beautifully. Would highly recommended!

Stellar photography and easy to work with

We appreciate Cassandra willing to work with us for a short time for our elopement. She was even willing to accommodate our large German Shepherd dog in our session. Her photography is beautiful and definitely captured 'us'. We are grateful for having her photos to remember our elopement.

Wonderful experience with Cassandra

We were so impressed with Cassandra! She is a pleasure to work with and was responsive from the start. We appreciated her timely communication and after speaking with her, we could sense that she is warm and welcoming. As we were both feeling a bit camera-shy, this was a great comfort to us.

After receiving our first photos, we were awestruck at the quality of her work. She was able to achieve such stunning use of light and capture the natural beauty of Mendocino. She gave helpful prompts to guide us during the photo session yet let us be ourselves at the same time. I can't stop looking at the photos she took. They are truly remarkable!

If you are considering Cassandra for your photographer, I highly recommend her, both as a gifted photographer and a wonderful person to work with. Thank you for capturing our special day!

Absolutely Amazing!!!

What can we say other than Cassandra is an OUTSTANDING photographer! The photos she took are incredible and captured our day perfectly, and we have not been able to stop looking at them since she gave them to us. Having had a "Out of Town/Destination Wedding" it wasn't easy for us to meet all of the vendors beforehand, but one phone call with Cassandra and she was able to get a feel for what we wanted and help us with not only a timeline and photo ideas, but the idea of a "First Look" and we are so thankful we took her advice. My sister told me from the day we got engaged "Make sure you get a good photographer, you will want to reflect back on everything because the day will fly by" and boy did we luck out!

We are not people who like to be in front of a camera, but she made everything so easy and she took such amazing photos of us that are now moments we will look back on and treasure FOREVER! Thanks Cassandra, for making our day so special and giving us the greatest gift of all, AMAZING PHOTOS!! We could not be happier with the end result and would HAPPILY recommend Cassandra to anyone!

SHE. IS. SIMPLY. THE. BEST!

Outstanding wedding photographer!

If Cassandra is available... snap her up! She is a total gem, and was the perfect photographer for us. I'm so grateful for her kind professionalism, reassuring expertise, and stunning artistry. Once we hired her, I didn't worry about photos at all, and everything came out just beautifully.  1,000% recommend.

A few specific notes on our wedding & needs... In the redwoods at a private home, and an unusual ceremony design. She scouted the site with us and walked through the space and our ideas, suggested improvements (which were excellent), and consulted / advised on the timing (which really helped). She was flexible and communicative throughout the process from setting our contract through delivering the photos. And on our wedding day it was clear she's a master at this -- from her kind presence in our intimate getting-ready gatherings, to her creative excellence with our first look photos, to her patience on wrangling family for group portraits AND attention to detail so everyone looked good! Thank you Cassandra :) 
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
