Hi, I'm Cassie
Hi, I'm Cassie
Those conversations usually end with something far more interesting than where they started.
Whether we’re talking about a wedding day, a new hobby, or some wild idea that popped into your head on a Tuesday afternoon, I love asking questions, throwing ideas around, and seeing where they lead.
I’m the kind of person who lights up when someone says,
“Okay…hear me out.”
When I don't have a camera in hand...
One of my favorite ways to spend time with my dad is rescuing honeybee swarms.
My mom is one of my favorite people to spend time with. We're usually dreaming up our next project together.
You'll usually find me at my parents' ranch helping with the animals, tending the garden, or tackling whatever home project is next.
Jack is almost always nearby, convinced that whatever I'm doing would be better if I stopped to pet him first.
I love being on the trail. A 14er just hasn't happened...yet.
My houseplants have slowly taken over the house...which is probably why I started filling the garden too.
I have a small circle of friends who mean the world to me. One of them even promoted me to honorary auntie.
I'm a giant tech nerd who genuinely enjoys figuring out how things work.
My family is small, a little chaotic, incredibly close, and some of my favorite people to spend time with.
Margo, my adventure buddy, professional stick finder, and unfortunately...stick eater.
Knitting and crocheting are my go-to creative outlets...at least until I decide to teach myself something new again.
Where it all started.
Before elopements became something people searched for on Pinterest, it was simply how my parents got married.
Growing up, I never thought it was unusual.
I thought it was honest to them.
Their wedding wasn’t about putting on a production. It was about the two of them making a decision that felt right instead of doing what they were supposed to do.
Looking back, I think that shaped me more than I realized.
It probably explains why I’ve always believed there isn’t one right way to do anything, especially get married…
…and that traditions are optional.
A few things I believe.
Everyone deserves to feel safe being exactly who they are.
Who you are and who you love should never be the reason you wonder if you’re welcome.
Curiosity is more interesting than tradition.
If I can make something a little better, I will.
Tradition is an option, not an obligation.
You don’t have to justify what you want.
The interesting answers usually show up after people stop giving the expected ones.
Changing your mind is allowed and supported.
Being yourself is a better plan than performing.
Perfection is boring.
How that shows up on your wedding day.
By now you’ve probably realized I don’t separate who I am from how I photograph weddings.
My curiosity is why I ask so many questions.
My love of organization is why I build detailed timelines and backup plans.
My belief that traditions are optional is why I’ll never tell you there’s a right way to get married.
My attention to little things is why I notice the quiet moments just as much as the big ones.
At the end of the day, I want you to look back and think…
“That was so us.”
