A (non-exhaustive) list of things I love about weddings —
Dogs in bows and bowties. Grandparents smooching.
Big, ugly, lip-quivering tears. Analog photo booths.
Sarcasm. Equality. Boujee babes who aren’t snobs.
Being nice to your mom. Rooftops.
Door County sunsets. Telluride alpenglow.
and a little humble Midwest luxury.
Hey, I’m Cassie!
I was born + raised in Wisconsin + identify as a proud Midwesterner. I lived in Colorado for the last 15 years before moving back to Wisconsin to start a family with my wife, Erin.
I am a helicopter dog mom to my two rescue dogs, Frank + Stella (and two star angels, Tilly + Scout). I am a doting mother to our son, Fozi.
I started my business in 2012 + since then have photographed hundreds of weddings filled with the big and little moments that make a day special.
I am absolutely certain that telling stories, witnessing real moments and loving people through photography is exactly what I was created to do and I feel blessed that it has been my job for over a decade.
creativity has always been in my roots
I grew up seeing my grandfather as a hobbyist photographer, capturing photos of my grandmother’s flowers.
My mom was a creative -- painter, skilled at sewing, my brother is a drawer and custom sneaker designer.
I have lived creatively since I was young. I inherited my first camera from my grandfather, remember making music videos with my friends in the driveway and photographed my first wedding when I was a junior in college.
photography lets me celebrate and capture some of the sweetest moments - to be a part of your story
"Goosebump worthy moments captured by you that make it damn near impossible to choose favorites."

At all weddings, I bring 4 camera bodies, shoot duel memory cards which automatically duplicate each photo while shooting and when I get home I immediately import cards to an external hard and the cloud. I also keep your memory cards stored in a safe until I deliver you images to you!

I require a 50% retainer with contract in order to book your wedding date.
The final amount is due 45 days before your wedding. Payment plans can always be made!

Every photo you receive is edited, therefore, I give you the best photos taken from the day which usually ends up being at least 700-1000 images. I ask that you don't edit any photos, that's why you hired me!

I often gather inspiration from Pinterest, it's a great community to find ideas for projects and share beauty, but I will never copy the work of another artist. You are original, I want you to have your own images that are filled with your authentic love, joy + life! If we work off a list, it often leaves people feeling like they need to be something they are not. I want you to be you. Authentic + wonderful! We will create art that other people want to pin on pinterest!
