PHILADELPHIA WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER. DOG LOVER. NATURE ENTHUSIAST.

Timeless wedding photography for couples who value real moments and genuine connection.

Hi, I'm Cassondra.


A Philly photographer with a decade of experience, a chronic over-planner, and potentially your newest best friend.


As a textbook Gemini, I’m a perfect blend of sincere and sassy. I know how to hype up your wedding party and how to handle that one family member (and let’s be real - we’ve all got one). 


My photography philosophy is simple: whether I’m photographing your every day or your biggest day, I want you to feel comfortable enough to be yourself. Once that happens, those genuine moments come naturally.


I’m a firm believer in both having your cake and eating it too, which means I know when to tell you what to do with your hands and when to step back and just let the moment happen.

Here for your big moments...


Geminis get a bad rap for changing our minds a lot or having multiple personalities -  but that's exactly who you want for your wedding day: someone who knows when to take charge of a situation and when to shut up and document the things happening.


I mean, picture it (pun intended): Hyping you and your wedding party up while you get ready, quietly tearing up at your vows from behind my camera during your first look, firmly asking your coworker's girlfriend (who you're meeting for the first time today) to step out of the aisle as you enter your ceremony, and then later getting the best photos of your friends dancing to Mr. Brightside (arguably the best song to get the party pumped).


My talent of seeing the big picture combined with my love for all the small, genuine details that make up who you are means you'll get a mix of real moments juxtaposed with artwork worthy of your walls.


Every wedding collection can be customized, with clients typically spending about $4300 on coverage.

The goal for every wedding is to see the big picture without losing sight of the details that make your day uniquely you.

... and your small moments, too. 


Photography is for all of your milestones, from your annual family photo to your new haircut. My favorite clients are the ones who keep inviting me back to photograph their lives.


Whether it’s a walk through the woods with your partner or embarrassing your teenagers by asking them to explain the latest trends, you’ll still get my special brand of humor and heartfelt photographs you can cherish for years to come.


On average, clients spend about $350 for portrait sessions.

Remember when I said Geminis have multiple personalities?


While I’m in full on extrovert mode during weddings and sessions, when I’m off the clock, I prefer the silence and calm that being in nature brings. 


My husband and I travel a lot - we’ve got 39 states and 23 national parks under our belt - and I use that as time to recharge my social battery and practice new techniques I don’t always get to try during a session. 


I’ve compiled these into a special gallery - but let’s just say, if you wanted to… I don’t know, maybe elope under a waterfall and ask me to be there? I wouldn’t say no.

Meet your new favorite gemini.


My friends call me Cass or Cassie, and you can too. I try not to take myself too seriously. I’m a chronic oversharer and endlessly curious: I want to know everything about you and I want to tell you everything about me. I like to say I’m a perfect blend of sassy and sincere, but I definitely have put my foot in my mouth on more than one occasion (but who hasn’t?). 


I like coffee, dogs, pizza, playing cozy video games, and reruns of The Office. I’ve had a lot of jobs and they’ve almost all involved photography. Wanna know more? Click below.
