Cass

ohio wedding photographer

Hi, I’m Cass

Originally from Nashville, TN, and now based in Ohio, I’m always ready to travel for love and adventure.

Speaking of adventure- I have been a bride myself, and I eloped! I learned the beauty of bending tradition, while keeping value in all the right places. While I've created and worked in environments that are loud and flashy, I still thrive in the ones that are intimate and secret, too. After all, that's the kind of wedding day that I chose for myself. Experiencing the nature of events in both my personal and professional life has allowed me to bring a deep understanding to every kind of bride.

When I picture my “happy place,” it looks a lot like a coffee shop -cozy, welcoming, and full of great conversation. And that’s exactly the kind of energy I bring to my work: connection, comfort, and creativity.

My dream clients are the ones who trust my vision, embrace spontaneity, and crave a little adventure.

It’s funny how the moments that seem so small end up meaning the most; the soft smile, the inside joke, the unplanned in-between. That’s where the real story lives. My favorite part of photography is catching those honest bits of life, so you can hold onto memories that feel real long after the day is over. Getting to help you remember that feeling is something I’ll never stop being grateful for.

Moments fade, but the feeling stays forever.

Because the best photos aren't a result of posed-perfection; they’re born from real, raw, meaningful moments. I focus on those truly special, in-between moments that capture how it actually felt to be there.

Connection

Your story unfolds in movement, laughter, and light. I capture it as it happens, turning those gentle, fleeting moments into a visual story that feels alive.

Storytelling

From inquiry to receiving your final gallery, I want you to feel comfortable, seen, and completely taken care of, so you can be fully present in the moment.

Experience

What matters most

[I build with purpose, lead with honesty, and put heart into everything I create.]

Unforgettable images that capture your moments; exactly how they felt.

I focus on the moments that actually matter. The shared laughs, embraces, and the energy between you and the people you love most. No awkward poses, no pressure; just real, raw moments, documented as they unfold. The result is a gallery of photos that take you right back to the moment.

"She captured timeless photos that were not only perfect but truly reflected our relationship dynamic."

"Once we received our photos, our jaws were on the floor with how beautiful they turned out.She was innovative and creative when it came to taking pictures, thought about what was best for us, and was graceful throughout the process."

fun facts

An iced decaf latte of any kind would surely be a front runner. But if we're talking really sweet, ice cream would have to be THAT girl.

What's your go-to sweet treat?

EASY. Jesus, and being a wife and mother. There is no greater joy for me than knowing my Creator and honoring Him through the way I love others and the work that I do on the daily!!

what makes you happiest?

I am a thrifting machine, finder of new recipes, and a gal that loves to see her girls. A random craft or a hole-in-the wall restaurant also hates to see me coming :)

What are your hobbies?

HMMM. Now that's a tough one. I would have to go with the Oregon Coast, or a little beach town in Maine. If we're talking international maybe going BACK to Greece or Italy?

Where is your dream shooting location?

I love sunrise sessions. The lighting is different, the air is more crispy, and there's this magical feeling of creating before the world wakes up.
