★★★★★ REVIEW FROM THE COUPLE

The Best Photographer! Cassondre was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. She was thorough in our pre-wedding appointment, helping us make decisions that we otherwise hadn’t considered and keeping track of all our “must have” photos. On the day of our wedding, she and her second photographer Nicole fit in perfectly with our group and captured every shot we could have wanted and more. Cassondre sent sneak peeks over much faster than we anticipated, and we have now watched the slideshow of our entire gallery more times than I can count. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of looking at the beautiful photos from our beautiful day… thanks to Cassondre Mae!
