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

Hi, I'm Cassondra.



Meet your new favorite Gemini.


Endlessly curious, I want to know it all: where you met, how you got engaged, what your dream wedding looks like - tell me everything.


Geminis might have a split personality, but that just means we're versatile. A fun, down for anything attitude paired with the commitment to doing the job well means you'll get a mix of real moments juxtaposed with artwork worthy of your walls.


With the perfect blend of sass and sincerity, I'll both gently tease your wedding party and earnestly tell you how great you look throughout the day.


Every wedding collection can be customized, with clients typically spending about $4400 on coverage.


Not hearing wedding bells yet? 


I’m also here to celebrate all of your milestones, from your annual family photo to your new haircut. 


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 photos you can put on the fridge.


On average, clients spend about $300 for portrait sessions.

Remember when I said Geminis have two 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 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.

So Who am I?


I grew up in Southern New Jersey and currently live just south of Philadelphia, PA. I like coffee, pizza and playing cozy video games. I read my horoscope almost daily. I like most types of music and a good fantasy novel. I will always order dessert. I laugh at my own expense - a lot. I've had a lot of jobs and they've almost all involved photography. I try not to take myself too seriously. I hated being called Cassondra as a kid, but I've come around to it. Most of my friends call me Cass or Cassie, and you can too.
