I'm Cassie! Telling a love story through my lens is a constant reminder of what is right and good in this crazy world.
I’m SO incredibly lucky to get to do what I love every day- to capture the love of wonderful humans, to be invited into their lives, their families, their best day ever!
I seriously can’t tell you how much it means to me!
You may be spending one of the biggest days of your life with me, so allow me to introduce myself...
Let's Make Some Magic!
Want a BREATHTAKING PHOTOS AND AN experience that’s a breath of fresh air?
"That can't-eat, can't-sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over-the-fence, World Series kind of stuff!"
I’m mostly known for capturing moody, yet ethereal images that capture the raw emotions of my couples and my 5-star reputation for treating my couples like gold. I’ve been called Mama Cass, the Queen of Styled Weddings and you can consider me like and extra bridesmaid on your big day.
I live for couples that are wildly romantic, head over-heels, mildly (or majorly) obsessed with each other, can’t keep you hands off each other in-love, and that are more concerned about living the heck out of life’s adventures and actually enjoying their wedding than stressing about a stray hair out of place or their dress getting dirty.
If my friends were to describe me in just one word, it would be “real.” I believe in honesty, authenticity and integrity and I think that shines through in my work- the pure emotion.
I’m a textbook Pisces - compassionate, artistic, creative, intuitive and a total empath.
I live in Upstate New York, with my fur baby/muppet, Max (I’m obsessed with him, and you will be too!).
Photos you feel from a Photographer that Gives a Damn
Let's be real (because when am I not?). Weddings are a BIG Investment. And therefore, a big decision!)
When all is said and done, the cake has been eaten and you come back from your honeymoon as newlyweds, what you are left with is your wedding photos. I want you to have not just beautiful moments to remember, but help curate beautiful experiences for you as you start your journey of marriage together!
I built my business on serving my couples with the golden rule and offering an above and beyond service, I would be thrilled to receive - values my parents instilled deeply in me.
While I’ve lost both of my parents, getting to see the love between two people, between families (I’m a sucker for those father-daughter moments), and being welcomed into your inner circle, is such a joy and it’s that love and connection that really inspires me.
The photos I have of them are everything to me and my most cherished possession. If I were to grab one thing (besides my dog) if my house was on fire, it would be these photos.
Someday when you're old and gray, or even long gone, your wedding photos may very well be your most prized possession or memory of the ones you love - or FOR the ones you love, and I don't take for granted the powerful memories, stories, and legacy that lies beneath every photo I take.
WHat's my why?
My Story
Just like my own personal style, I'm incredibly eclectic, mixing the darkness and light, soft and strong, bold and ethereal. I love the unexpected. But overall, I want to make sure my work feels like you!
My photos are often “high contrast” and bold, romantic yet fun, with just right amount of mood and Vogue- a fun mix of all the sides of the couples I work with. People often describe my images as intimate and filled with emotion, and that’s not by mistake.
I provide directions rather than poses to create candid moments, like directing a movie, but I’m also careful to document real moments as they happen.
You’ll never have to worry about what to do with your hands - I do my best to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible so you can just focus on each other, have fun and enjoy the process!
My Style
Laidback + Luxe
I pride myself on making you feel comfortable in front of my camera, so it feel like an old friend is taking your wedding photos the big day (rather than a stranger from the internet), so you can worry about what matters! The two of you and your WEDDING DAY!
I do things a
little differently...
Let me guess, you’ve never planned your own wedding before? I offer planning tips, support and suggestions - from vendor referrals, to wardrobe tips and inspo, I’ve even gone dress shopping with my brides. I really want you to have the best experience possible, so feel free to utilize my wedding expertise in any way!
I do things a little differently...
I work with a day-of wedding personal assistant/coordinator whose sole role is not to take photos, but to be an extra set of eyes, ears and hands to help us out. I’ve shot enough weddings to learn that you can never have enough help, and having someone who can fix dresses, carry your flowers, make sure you hydrate and actually eat the wedding food you’ve paid for, to even running down the block to knock on doors to get super glue to fix a bride’s earring before her first look (true story!). Think of it like having a wedding day fairy god mother, or that extra bridesmaid you never knew you needed. Oh yeah, we are a bit extra, but in the best possible way!
I do things a little differently...
Part-photog, part-day of coordinator! I’ll work with you to gather every little detail of your wedding plans (from family shot lists, to sensitive family situations you want me to be aware of) so that I miss nothing, and craft a timeline to make sure we not only get the best photos but the best experience!
