Elopement & Wedding photographer based in Oregon
Hello, I'm Cassie
Or Cass.
Whichever rolls better.
I PHOTOGRAPH MOMENTS THAT ALTER YOUR BRAIN CHEMISTRY
I celebrate and observe people's love and Moments that leave you in utter awe.
I'm a creative in many formats. I dream and create in photos, film-cinema, and words, both written and read. I feel a deep connection to many mediums of art, and they all influence my work. The rhythm and melodies of music, the narratives and visuals of cinema, they all pull at me, causing tides of thought and feeling that inspire my work. Ask me about my playlists and favorite films, I'll chat your ears off.
I appreciate your interest in my photography and consideration for your wedding. I'd love to work with you and capture the vision you have of your wedding day, in all the ways that you would like. I’m here for you every step of the way!
My Values, Who I Am for You, and a Glimpse Into How I Tell Your Story
If you're here, you're probably wondering who’s behind the camera, capturing the magic of your love story along the stunning Oregon Coast. Should I tell you about my journey to photography? Or share the moment I realized this was my calling? Maybe I should start with my coffee order from this morning (Iced Dulce de Leche from Starbucks)—because let’s be honest, that’s where all good stories begin.
I've always been surrounded by a certain kind of magic. ‘Magic’ might sound vague, but let me clarify – I’m referring to the creative, artistic kind. It’s present in movies, music, books, breathtaking landscapes, and in our core memories. That magic feeling. It’s the palpable anticipation in your heart when you’re mustering the courage to confess your love to the one. It’s the exhilarating rush of a last-second victory. It’s the electrifying moment when a book pulls you into an ethereal world. It’s the rainfall of confetti as you watch your favorite singer perform live.
It’s so intoxicating and contagious that it compels you to smile, cry, sing, and dance. The energy and excitement it stirs within you might even make you feel like you’re about to float away into the clouds.
Fireworks. Butterflies. Sparks. Magnetic forces.
Even when my camera is on the shelf, the magic persists. It thrives in the playlists that echo through my speakers, the films that flicker across my screen, and the books that transport me to other realms. This magic I engage with – the one I read about, listen to, or witness in cinema – is not an illusion. It is as real as the world around me. I experience it in elopements, weddings, adventure sessions, and even in my ‘off the clock’ moments.
I immerse myself in your story. Who are you? Who do you love? What’s your love story? Just like the magic I experience through books, music, and film, I see, hear, and feel your story as I capture it.
You embody the magic. I capture this and highlight the key moments of your story with a hint of dreaminess. Your love story is one of those irresistibly charming, feet-kickin’, can’t-stop-cheesin’ cinematic tales.
Ever find yourself smiling at strangers? That’s me, every single day. A love and happiness so infectious, it radiates warmth. I’m so invested in you and your love that I can sense your unique frequency. This understanding inspires me to capture the essence of you and your loved ones. I can envision what your gallery will look like even before I’ve photographed it. That’s how in depth, in detail, how personable, and intentional I am with your experience.
My story is deeply intertwined with the magical essence of my life. For the past seven years, I’ve been on an enchanting journey, each year offering richer insights into storytelling, art, and love. Each year, I’ve witnessed more magical moments, more cinematic love stories, and more captivating narratives. My investment in my craft extends beyond passion – it’s a profound obsession with my work and the unique experiences I deliver.
Are you with me? That’s what I chase – it’s not elusive, it’s not hard to keep up with, it’s simply a slice of heaven on earth.
So, let’s make some magic
stay with me here

As your creative
My aim is to create a narrative that transcends the ordinary and captures a cinematic experience. Every image is thoughtfully composed to convey a sense of drama and scale, encapsulating the grandeur of the moment. I utilize a variety of techniques and perspectives to elevate each photograph from a mere snapshot to a frame from an epic story. Integral to this process, is my intentional approach, where every detail matters. From the placement of objects within the frame to the emotions etched on your face, every element is meticulously considered. This allows me to capture the underlying essence of every moment, transforming them into tangible memories that you can hold onto. Complementing this is my distinctive style characterized by soft, ethereal, and dreamy aesthetics. I strive to capture the magic and enchantment of each moment, creating images that transport you to a world of beauty and wonder. This dreamy aesthetic not only defines my work but also enhances the emotional resonance of each image, making them all the more memorable.

C+H | MOUNTAIN ENGAGEMENTS
We had NO idea what to do for our engagements, but we wanted something that was 'us' and out of a movie. After she asked about our interests and style, she put it all together for us. And we mean everything. The location, the outfits, and a few recommendations for heirlooms.
Cassie has gone above and beyond to create and deliver magical images.
Lisa & Steve | chicago WEDDING
From our first DM to her, and throughout the process, she has been clear and respectful of our preferences. She went above and beyond to make sure she covered every base. During our photoshoot, she would get so excited after taking a picture and would show it to us. We viewed our photos right after we took them. They excited us and made the session go smoother! It gave me a confidence to really let my inner self shine. Thank you, Cassie. We've loved you so much!
We seriously could not be happier! We wholeheartedly recommend Cassie!
E & J | Antelope Engagements
During my first photoshoot, I was astounded by how comfortable and relaxed she made me feel. At first, I felt awkward striking poses. I don't usually like having my picture taken. But, she clearly explained everything and made sure I was comfortable. She'll be my go-to photographer from now on for all my photography needs!
My family was blown away when they saw the beautiful photos.
