Christina + Josh | Dutchess Manor Wedding | Beacon, NY

I met Christina and Josh during their engagement shoot last fall and I could immediately sense their deep bond as we adventured around Lake Minneswaksa.
These two have it.
The thing that people search their whole lives for. The ‘it‘ factor of a great love story, that radiates from their souls towards each other and that everyone that comes to know them can see and feel!
Their wedding day was filled with an outpouring of love from their family and friends - and so much dancing! OPA! Not only did they have a DJ spinning the hits, but they also had a traditional Greek band so everyone could take part in the classic wedding dance, Sirtaki!

Best Photography Choice We Could Have Made!

After seeing Cassondre's photography portfolio, we knew we needed her talents to capture our wedding day. After speaking to and meeting Cassondre, it was even more clear that she was the right wedding photographer for us. From the very beginning, Cassondre's expertise and guidance was extremely helpful with the planning of our big day. My husband Josh and I had booked an engagement shoot with Cassondre, which was included in our wedding package, in October of 2018. Not only did Cassondre do an excellent job but on the day of our scheduled photoshoot, we ran into trouble and were unable to take pictures at our originally planned location. Cassondre was very flexible in this situation and accommodated us by meeting at a different location, just minutes before our originally scheduled time. Even though this was Josh and I's first time in front of Cassondre's camera, we felt comfortable and were very much ourselves on the other side of her lens. On our wedding day, Cassondre and her team exceeded our expectations. They did a wonderful job of capturing our day, ensuring that we were both calm and enjoying every minute leading up to our big moment. Cassondre and her team were very professional when it came to working alongside our other vendors and were non-invasive during setup and throughout the ceremony and reception. Josh and I have just finished proofing our wedding album and cannot wait to receive the full album, which was also included in the wedding package we selected. Josh and I would highly recommend Cassondre and her team. If we had to do it again, we would choose Cassondre all over again!
