I've had a camera in my hand since 2005. I got my first paid gig in 2009 - a birthday party for a friend of my mom's. I started photographing weddings in 2013 and have almost always had a job where a camera is in my hand.

Most commonly, I work in the Greater Philadelphia Area.

I've photographed as far north as Rhode Island and as far south as lower Delaware. I've gone as far east as the New Jersey shore, and as far west as Lancaster, PA.

For any travel outside of 60 miles round trip, I include a travel fee of $0.57 per mile.

Approximately 50-75 images per hour of coverage, but really it depends on what's happening. If you have a lot of meaningful details or traditions during your ceremony or reception, you'll end up with more photos than if you have a simple wedding with mostly candid photos.

Wedding galleries are delivered 6 weeks after your event.

If you have an outstanding balance, your gallery will be delivered 6 weeks after your balances are paid.

PLEASE print your photos. I can't stress it enough. Hang them on your walls, hold them in your hands. Give them to your friends and family, use them for holiday cards. Your hard drives and flash drives will fail eventually, and your cloud storage will fill up in time. I could talk for a long time about the importance of printing your photos. You can order prints directly through your online gallery or through any professional printing service you'd like. If you need recommendations, I'm happy to offer suggestions.

Absolutely. Please post your pictures online - and please tag me! The best advertising is word of mouth and sharing your photos online helps new clients find me.

You can find me online on Instagram at @cassondrawoodphoto, on Facebook under Cassondra Wood Photography, and on TikTok under @ohsnapcass.

All images delivered receive what we call global edits - color correction, cropping, exposure correction and general adjustments. In addition to this, I go in further and correct blemishes and skin tone to ensure you look your best on your wedding day.

Extensive retouching includes face swapping, background editing, and advanced skin retouching and can be done for $20/image.

For any wedding package over 6 hours, a second photographer is built into the package.

For any wedding 6 hours and under, you're welcome to add a second photographer for $60/hour.

Honestly, yes. Adding a second photographer allows me to be in two places at once. You'll get multiple angles of important events, both a wide and close-up shot of the kiss at your ceremony, and guest reactions to your speeches. It helps condense your timeline too - both partners can be photographed getting ready at the same time. Two photographers means we can photograph you coming down the aisle AND your partner's reaction to seeing you, the candid dancing shots AND the group photo of your friends from college, the reaction of your parents AND your vows, etc.

Second photographers are included in my 8 and 10 hour packages, but you can add a second photographer to any shorter wedding for $60/hour.

This depends on each couple and how you envision your day going. Want a sneak peek at your fiancée before the ceremony? Do a first look. Want the wow factor of first seeing your partner as they walk down the aisle? Don't.

First looks help ease nerves, give the couple a moment to themselves, and generally help the flow of wedding day timelines. Doing a first look allows the photographer to get most, if not all, of your "formal" photos finished ahead of time, leaving you free to enjoy cocktail hour with your guests. This way, you get to celebrate with your friends and family right after the ceremony rather than have someone chase down your extended family while they've got a cocktail shrimp in their mouth or a beer in their hand. It helps with the flow of the day, with multiple locations, and makes sure we get the photos that are important before anyone has had a few drinks.

I love to incorporate travel with photography. Depending on your location, I may even offer you a discounted rate.

All weddings and sessions require a 25% retainer to hold your date up front. Full payment is due two weeks before your wedding and funds are always held in a separate account until your event is complete.

Portrait sessions can be paid in advance or at the time of the session.

Payments can be made by credit card through your client invoice. I can also accept cash, check and informal methods such as Venmo, Zelle, Paypal, and CashApp.

Yes! Please add an engagement session to your wedding package. Engagement sessions help us get comfortable with each other and see how we work together. This way, on your wedding day, we can hit the ground running and feel like old friends. Plus, you're gonna need something for your save-the-dates.

Engagement sessions are included in my top two packages, but you're welcome to add them on to any other packages as well.

The short answer: whatever makes you feel your best.

I always suggest wearing something that flatters you, but that you can move in. A lot of my engagement sessions involve movement - walking, spinning, dipping, dancing - so you're going to want to be able to move.

Some of my favorite outfits have been jeans and cute tops, dresses and skirts, matching jackets, and cocktail attire.

Absolutely. If we're nearing the end of our contracted time, but you need me to stay longer, we can add on time the day of.

Additional hours of photography are $400/hour and galleries are not delivered until 6 weeks after any outstanding balances are fulfilled.

This is tricky. You can absolutely tip if you'd like to. Is it expected? No. Is it appreciated? Always. If you're satisfied with the service you received and you'd like to give a tip, please do. If you don't want to tip but you're still happy with your service, a great review is always appreciated too.

Uncomfortable tipping in cash? That's okay! A tip can be anything unexpected - a handwritten note, a to-go bag of dessert, a bottle of wine, or a gift card. The options are endless and anything thoughtful is appreciated.
