Hello, lovers!
I’m Cassandra, a South Florida-based photographer with over 10 years of experience doing this thing that I love. And gah, how I love shooting weddings! There's something so exciting to me about being a part of one of the most important days in someone’s life, and immortalizing all those memorable moments with my images.
My goal as your photographer is to make you feel as comfortable as possible with the whole process- not only because I really do care, but because if you’re having a good time, your pictures will reflect that. I want you to soak up all the love surrounding you on your day, and I promise to take that love and turn it into the best gallery of images you ever imagined for your wedding. In addition to being your friend, guru, confidante and fly on the wall when the moment calls for it, I’ll compose a story of your day that highlights your unique awesomeness, while still letting events unfold naturally to capture the stuff you’ll want to remember.
At my own wedding in May of 2022 near Joshua Tree, CA- finally the bride. The only photographers I knew for sure that I could trust with my big day were my second shooters Julieta and Ksenya, who obviously did a knock-out job!
How I got here…
I remember the first time I looked through the lens of a camera (I must’ve been about 6) and snapped a picture of my mom by a lake in my home state of Minnesota. I felt such a rush at the thought of shaping that moment into a rectangle and making it last forever, and I’ve followed that feeling throughout my life.
I’m one of those rare unicorn photogs who actually went to school for photography- my dreams of being a hardcore war photojournalist morphed pretty quickly into aspirations of shooting beautiful weddings, I’m very happy to report. Lots of experience (photography-related and otherwise) has helped me cultivate a style that’s journalistic and intimate, focusing on the emotions that make us humans such endearing little creatures.
Little nuggets…
I live in a neighborhood of Miami called Coconut Grove with my husband, his two kids and our doggos.
My ride-or-die rat terrier Nugget is my life partner, travel buddy, supermodel and soulmate (and she gives the best hugs).
My little sister Savannah is my bestie and also a badass photographer- watch out for her second-shooting with me on weddings and laying down the sick ninja photo skills I taught her.
When I’m not on shoots or nerding out editing photos, you can find me traveling, hosting game nights, riding my bike around town, ordering everything on the happy hour menu, slaying Xbox dance games, reading novels on my Kindle or shopping for more boots.
