Testimonial
" I can’t say enough good things about working with Cassie on one of the most important days of our lives! From the pre-wedding consultation where she made sure to know any details we wanted captured on our special day, to the wedding day where she moved room to room putting everyone at ease & silently capturing candid moments. And finally during the private post-production presentation where she spent time going through each photo and presenting examples of prints/albums/frames…all top notch quality. Her edge over many photographers is in the editing process! She can make your photos look as natural or as magical as you prefer! It’s a true gift rarely seen in a saturated market. You won’t go wrong choosing Cassie! You may even make a new best friend (our family from the wedding still inquire about her)! She’ll make all your wedding dreams come true!! (Ask her the story about our cross picture I wanted so badly. She produced something better than I had seen on Pinterest or could have ever imagined!!)"

Real Wedding Galleries from Hocking Hills Portraits
Real Wedding Gallery - Jared & Morgan
This is an example of a small wedding at the Hocking Hills Lodge and Conference Center. The couple, Morgan & Jared booked 3 hours of coverage with 1 photographer (Cassie).
Bride Morgan left this generous five-star review on Google:
"Breathtaking and jaw dropping are the only ways I can describe the photos that Cassie captures! She did a phenomenal job with our wedding and we are through the moon with how they all turned out. She is so talented and the sweetest human to work with. If anyone is contemplating any kind of photos in Hocking Hills she is without a doubt the best choice!"
- Morgan Flores, Bride
Real Wedding Gallery - Kaitlyn & Jeremy
This is an example of 6-hour Wedding Day with 2 photographers. The couple, Kaitlyn & Jeremy chose a first-look style timeline. I share this gallery in particular because off-camera flash was needed throughout the ceremony and reception to accommodate this venue. This is a great example of how I navigate both indoor and outdoor lighting.
Real Wedding Gallery - Michelle & Kristina
This is an example of a 6-hour wedding day with 2 Photographers.
The couple chose a first look timeline.
One of the Brides Left This Generous 5-star Review on Google:
" There are no words to describe how amazing Cassie is! The first time we met with her to describe our vision for our wedding, we just clicked! We knew immediately that she was the person to capture our special day. From that first meeting until the day of our wedding, Cassie went above and beyond to reassure us and make us comfortable.
Cassie's enthusiasm for her subjects immediately puts you at ease. Having your picture taken can sometimes feel awkward, but Cassie alleviates your nervousness with her excitement and makes you feel like the whole process is natural.
Cassie is PASSIONATE about photography and this passion is recognizable in every picture she takes. we haven't received all of our photos yet, but each time I look at those shared in that first day, my eyes fill with tears. She made us feel beautiful and it is so apparent in the pictures. "
-Kristina, Bride

"Cassie is fantastic! Cassie did an amazing job capturing our wedding! Our photos are absolutely perfect and bring back the feeling of our special day every time we look at them. Both our posed and candid shots are just beautiful. She was extremely easy to work with and accommodating to all of our requests. She was thoughtful enough to bring a beautiful umbrella for me to walk down the aisle with (it rained for our outdoor ceremony). We are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with her and would recommend her 1000 percent!"

Testimonial
- 2022 Bride Kellie Ford
" We were incredibly lucky to have found Cassie when searching for a photographer for our wedding. We weren't really certain what we would need or even want from a photographer for our special day, but we put our trust in Cassie and couldn't have asked for better results. Our whole album captures how natural we wanted to feel at our wedding, and Cassie was amazing at going with the flow and catching the most amazing candid shots of us and our guests. She knew the venue, she knew what we wanted out of our wedding, and she knew us! We couldn't have been happier to have her along for the ride. Thank you, Cassie!"
