SANTA CRUZ WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Firstly, LOVE IS LOVE!!!
All Love is welcome with me!
My goal has never been just to take pretty pictures. It's to create an experience you actually feel, from the first time we talk all the way through the moment you open your gallery and burst into tears of joy reliving the moments we captured together.
Think of me as not only your Santa Cruz wedding photographer, but your location scout, your styling sounding board, your timeline wizard, your hype queen, and honestly just someone genuinely in your corner from day one. Creating a safe space where your unique love story can be told effortlessly AND beautifully.
I want you comfortable enough to express all your wildest weddings dreams before your wedding. That kind of relationship and comfort/authenticity is what makes the images look the way they do.
I never planned to be a Big Sur elopement photographer or a Carmel wedding photographer. I was supposed to be on movie sets in LA, honestly. But life had other plans and gave me something better than I ever could have mapped out for myself. I get to live and work in one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on earth, shooting love stories against coastlines and redwoods and golden California hills, and I get to do it with people who trust me with something real.
I do not take that lightly for a single second.
If you made it this far and something in here felt like it was written for you, it probably was.

Kassandra was an absolute dream to work with! She came highly recommended by a wedding photographer friend of ours and we were really impressed by her portfolio. We loved the true-to-life colors and natural, effortless style of her photography. We really clicked on our initial call and knew she would be the perfect fit! We can be more reserved and didnβt have a ton of experience in front of the camera, so her more outgoing, direct but kind style was exactly what we needed. And on the day of, Kassandra was super helpful throughout the whole day, helping coordinate and keep everything on track. She is a true wedding pro - working with other vendors, helping button and bustle my dress, corralling/directing friends and family. We could not have asked for a better teammate to make our day as wonderful as it was! And the photos turned out amazing of course, capturing all the joy and love that we will cherish forever.

Hiring Kassandra as our wedding photographer was hands down one of the best decisions we made to ensure our day was perfect! From our beautiful engagement photos to the actual wedding day shots, Kassandra's artistic eye and ability to capture moments in such a candid way blew us away.
From the initial call to meeting her in person, she brought exactly the vibe and experience we were looking for. She made us feel at ease and confident in her ability to tell our story through her lens. Kassandra has this amazing talent for capturing those special, fleeting moments that you might otherwise miss, turning them into timeless pieces of art.
She made sure to listen carefully to everything we wanted, capturing all the key moments in a seamless and timely manner. Her professionalism and ease made the entire process smooth, and we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. We truly felt like she was just another part of the celebration, blending in while still working her magic.
If you're looking for someone who not only knows how to take stunning photos, but who is also incredibly thoughtful and intentional in her approach, Kassandra is your person. We couldnβt be happier with how our photos turned out, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about capturing the essence of your day!

Hiring Kassandra was one of the best wedding decisions we made! From our first call (we talked for an hour and a half!), I knew that we were in good hands. She did an amazing job capturing the joy we felt on our wedding day and for that we are so grateful. Beyond the photos, Kassandra was fun to be around and easy to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Kassandra, for everything!!
Wow⦠Kassandra was above and beyond what we expected a wedding photographer to be. She was extremely professional and gave great tips on how to look our best on our special day, all while being hilarious and keeping us grounded in a pretty stressful day (if I should say so myself). She and Kelsey Currier (our wedding planner) made such a perfect team, and it was pretty much like the Avengers as far as wedding planning teams go. Thank you so much Kassandra, we have all these great photos and memories because of you and your amazing assistant!!


Absolutely thrilled to share our experience with Kassandra!
From the moment we met her, we knew we were in capable hands. Her insightfulness about the area not only put us at ease but also added an extra layer of creativity to our special day. We flew in from Chicago, and after having our original plans fold due to weather emergencies, I really don't think we would have landed on our feet with anyone else!
She made the entire experience memorable. With so few people involved in our special day, I'm relieved Kassandra was one of them. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to entrust with capturing our memories. She understood our vision perfectly and went above and beyond to make it a reality.
Thanks to her skill and dedication, we now have a stunning collection of photographs that beautifully encapsulate the emotions and essence of our elopement. Each image is a treasure, a testament to her talent and the magic she brought to our day-- BOOK HER!
