Photographing your moments in San Francisco, California

ABOUT cassie

With a camera in hand and a joke (or two) at the ready, I’ve been turning real laughs, happy tears, and spontaneous dance-floor moves into lasting memories for couples across Chicago for over eight years.

Whether we’re racing through Millennium Park at sunset or sneaking a quick high-five behind the scenes, my approach always puts you at ease—so your genuine smiles are the stars of the show.

My love for photography began at my best friend’s backyard wedding. I was the unofficial “guest photographer,” sneaking off to capture every petal in the wind and every teary hug.

I fell hard for the magic of candid moments—the ones you can’t plan but never want to forget. From that day on, I traded my 9–5 for a camera strap and set out to document love stories that feel as authentic and joyful as those summer afternoon vows.

It all started when...

I believe photography can spark change—so I donate my time and talent to local nonprofits, capturing community events, Pride parades, and equality rallies across Chicago. Turning my lens toward causes I care about keeps my work meaningful and my heart full.

Whether it’s the classic espresso martini or a bright French 75, nothing says “we made it through another beautiful chaos of wedding planning” like sipping something bubbly and bittersweet. It’s my little ritual to celebrate every gallery delivered and every happy couple’s review.

Daisy is more than my studio mascot—she’s the reason I’ll drop everything for a cuddle break. Her go-anywhere attitude and boundless energy remind me to chase every spontaneous moment with as much enthusiasm as she chases a squeaky toy.

“She caught every tear-jerking first look, every belly laugh, and even got my grandma to crack a smile on the dance floor. Our photos look like us—fun, in love, and totally ourselves.”

"Cassie was an absolute dream!"
