Cassi Claire Photography

o capture our special day is not only due to their great abilities but also their love for each one of their couples. From spending the whole engagement photo weekend together, to Cassi and Chris being guests at our rehearsal dinner and morning after brunch we became lifelong friends! Kate and I can’t thank them enough for making our day something we can treasure forever!

wesome they are! They are both extremely talented photographers and a joy to work with. The kindness, silliness and honestly they display as they work together show a truly beautiful relationship that is so encouraging to see! ​It also immediately makes you feel comfortable with them (which is great when your husband is a little camera shy) and like you are spending time with good friends! Any insecurities you may have (like an unconventional height difference) seems to disappear. Cassi has such a great eye to position the photo to make it seem so flawless and natural! Both Cassi and Chris are genuinely excited for you and become almost like family on the wedding day. Chris was able to spend the morning with my husband as he was getting ready. He got some great shots of him and the groomsmen enjoying the morning. Cassi brought pure excitement and encouraging words when my butterflies began to kick in. She made me feel so beautiful, special and that it really was my day to celebrate! They are also very well organized with the wedding day timeline which helped me be more organized during the day! They captured the true feelings of the day from both bridal parties and guests while they snapped photos that will keep those beautiful memories in tact. I knew the photos from Cassi would be great, but they were STUNNING! I love each and everyone. I am so glad they were able to travel to the West Coast and be part of our big day.

made in the wedding process. We recommend her with the fullest enthusiasm. Why specifically? Well, 1. Her stunning photos. Words can't fully express just how bright, natural, and filled with joy they all are-- you need to see her blog. Her work speaks for itself. 2. She runs an impeccably organized and professional operation. We were looking for someone who could operate with little oversight, but Cassi blew us away in this regard. She was on top of every possible thing and always two steps ahead. 3. Her talents had ripple effects on the wedding outside of photography, helping us with vendor suggestions, advising on the ideal schedule, and reminding us of important details we would have otherwise missed. 4. She goes above and beyond. The best example of this was during pre-wedding photos when my dress had an unfortunate run-in with some goose droppings in the grass. Before we knew it, Cassi was crouched down with a tide stick trying to get the stain out. Truly above the call of duty! 5. She has this gift of a personality that makes everyone feel happy at at ease, which is very helpful both when we felt awkward taking posed couple photos for the first time, and when she was coordinating our massive families for group photos. 6. Finally, she is a fast friend and the best person (besides your new spouse!) you could ask to spend your wedding day with. Thank you Cassi (and Chris and Kerri) for making everything about our wedding so amazing!!

a photographer that we could feel comfortable with, and we ended up getting a photographer that not only made ME feel comfortable but made ALL of our bridesmaids and groomsmen feel comfortable (and some of them hate getting their photo taken)! A couple of my bridesmaids have already said that when they get engaged, they will book her immediately. Cassi & Chris went above and beyond our expectations for our engagement photos by staging us in all of our favorite beach spots. We felt so comfortable with Cassi & Chris that we had them stay at our beach house for our engagement shoot. We are obsessed with all of our engagement photos and wedding photos, and now we have massive canvases covering our entire home because we can't stop looking at them. Not only is she a fantastic photographer, but I loved how she artistically displayed our details for our photos. Any of our wedding planning worries immediately disappeared as soon as Cassi walked us through a perfect wedding timeline that fit in all of the pictures that we wanted. Thanks to Cassi's organization skills and attention to detail, our wedding day went flawlessly. For example, Cassi noticed weeks before our date that I had accidentally left one of our nephews out from our family photo list. My family and friends couldn't believe that Cassi & Chris had everyone's names AND nicknames down. They are incredible!

ng worked out for us. The best part, we have amazing pictures for the rest of our lives now. I can not recommend her enough!!

were going for. Everything felt so natural and the final results also look very natural and not posed at all! Going with Cassi Claire was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

ough in her photos. Pre-wedding, I spent days searching for the perfect photographer that had high quality pictures that were light and airy AND was willing to shoot long hours without breaking our bank. I’d narrowed it down to a few people, but after meeting with Cassi I knew she was who I wanted to work with. As someone who is a bit Type A, I loved that Cassi was detail oriented. She helped me iron out a timeline and revise it if needed. I went to her for suggestions on dress shops and videographers and she never disappointed, always giving me multiple suggestions and her honest opinion. I shared my hair/make up trial and dress pics with her, invitations, etc so she could not only get a feel for our wedding beforehand, but it was nice having someone just as excited as I was. Also, my fiancé and I had really wanted to do the engagement photo shoot at a beach since it is our special place. Cassi and Chris were so sweet and drove all the way to Asbury Park to do the shoot and really utilized all the different scenery. On the day of, Cassi was a crucial reason our wedding went so smoothly. She kept us on schedule, managing the bridal party and parents in a bubbly and polite manor, and worked around the light rain. I was a little disappointed about the rain at first, but it’s kind of hard to be sad around Cassi’s upbeat personality and I knew she would do everything possible to make the pictures amazing no matter what the weather ended up being and she did! We were supposed to go to a park, but it would be muddy so she ended up getting wonderful shots right outside of the venue. We were on our way to the limo when Cassi was the one to realize we didn’t have the rings! After the ceremony, we went through family and bridal party photos so efficiantly, we were able to actually attend a bit of cocktail hour. My bridal party and family all said they were impressed by her. After the wedding, we received the pictures back quickly. Coworkers and friends saw our pictures and said, “This looks like a celebrity wedding!” and “You look like you should be in a bridal magazine!”. I chuckled and said thank you, but the second comment ended up sort of happening. Our wedding was featured on the newjerseybride.com website where they post about real weddings and shared many of the pictures! The day went so fast, but now all we have are our memories and these pictures which will hang in our home forever. We can’t thank Cassi (and her team) enough and we hope you check out her website/blog and reach out to her to see for yourself how awesome she is!

she exceded our expectations in both categories !! From day one she was 100% there, commited to anything and everything related to our wedding. Starting with the engagement photoshoot, she made both of us feel so relaxed and at ease with having our photos taken. It was non-stop laughter and in general great conversation so there werent any awkward silences or anything. She has a gift for bringing people out of their shell. Not only was she able to get awesome photos of us, she even got our german shepherd to sit still and look at the camera for some great shots !! Flash forward to closer to the wedding, Cassiewas on top of her game and always available to go over scheduling for the entire day with me. She planned every second of the day with me and made sure that even if we were running late we would be ok. We had a lot of moving parts with our wedding because we were far from home and it involved a lot of cooridnation with the church, transportation, venue etc. Cassie sat with me on the phone on more than one occasion to rehash the schedule to make sure that everything would go smoothly. On the day of, as expected, Cassie and her team showed up with bells on ready to go! Every girl loves to get a compliment every now and then (am I right ladies !?) and she made not only me, but my entire (12-person) bridal party feel like a million bucks. She kept us smiling and laughing the entire day. As with any wedding, at least one thing is bound to go a little wrong, well my day of snafu was the bag with all the tip money going missing ! Right as I was on the verge of tears, Cassies assistant leaps up, runs into the hotel and emerges 30 seconds later with the bag, real life superhero style and saved the day! After the ceremony she scoped out the most amazing places for photos at our venue, and her husband even turned out to be a real life horse whisperer and coaxed a beautiful white horse into our photos and even to look at the camera ! The entire day was a dream and that was in no small part owed to Cassie and her team. The photos we received were beyond words, and we will cherish these for a lifetime. She perfectly caputered the best day of our lives <3

immediately put us at ease with her happy and bright personality. She was on point at the wedding and made sure to get all of the photos we wanted and captured our big day perfectly. If you're looking for someone to shoot bright and happy pictures, who will put you at ease, and let's face it, make you wish she was one of your friends, I would definitely recommend Cassi!

every NY/NJ bride. It will be one of the BEST decisions you can make for your wedding, without a doubt. She was very responsive and made the entire process so enjoyable and stress-free with her top-notch organization skills. We are so thrilled with how all of our pictures turned out!! She captured so many beautiful moments from our big day that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

nitial meeting to getting within a week of our big day- Cassi was so organized, present and attentive to what we wanted- what we wanted to avoid and how we wanted the day to flow. They captured so many beautiful shots and her perky, cheery personality kept us going too! Every emotion, pose, photo was well worth it- their work is beautiful and we can't recommend them enough!

of a close friends in 2014, I simply could not afford to work with anyone else on OUR big day! If I could have booked her 5 years in advance I would have! Cassi's positive energy when shooting is simply contagious and it's reflected in her photographs. The big, happy grins and tears of joy are all REAL emotions experienced by everyone in her presence, because she treats a bride's wedding day like it's also the most important day of her life! She even told me she has trouble sleeping the night before weddings because she gets so excited... how can you not love that?! Leading up to the big day I was naturally worrying about a million things but Cassi's organization and timeliness put my OCD-self to shame! To relinquish control and know that you can rely on your photographer to ensure that the day runs smoothly and on schedule is literally priceless. I've never received so many genuine, positive compliments from family, friends, co-workers, etc. who were gushing over our engagement and wedding pictures. People are literally in awe of the the angles and intricacies Cassi highlights in her photographs, because her artistic eye sees what so many of us cannot! I simply cannot find enough words to express how amazing Cassi is as a photographer and as a person, and how much she contributed to the success and overall happiness of our wedding day. I never truly believed I could have a fairy-tale wedding, with fairy-tale pictures to back it up, but Cassi made it all happen. I might need to start planning a vow renewal soon so I can get some more photos out of her ;-)

photography. But beyond her insane amount of skill, Cassi has 2 key qualities that truly set her high above the rest, and I believe she is the reason my wedding had zero hiccups from beginning to end: 1. Right away you will learn that Cassi's personality is the equivalent of sunshine and rainbows and all things happy and magical. Her energy is so infectious that you immediately feel overwhelmingly happy when she's around. This is SO important in a photographer - an all day photo shoot can be exhausting and even uncomfortable, but with Cassi it feels like the most joyous, fun experience and there is no doubt in my mind that this translates in her photos. 2. Cassi is SO organized and prepared. She does careful research on the venue/date/weather/sunset/all other details; creates a meticulous schedule and list of "must have" shots down to each person in the shot and the order they'll be called; orchestrates/directs shots effortlessly and in a way that never feels posed; and overall just thinks of EVERYTHING. The photographer controls the day's schedule so I cannot emphasize enough how important this is. I have been to countless weddings that ran behind or were chaotic because of poor organization on the photographer's part - except for my own wedding which ran EXACTLY as Cassi scheduled. Every shot we wanted Cassi made sure to get and she somehow managed to heard the cats that are my family into portraits in a matter of seconds. Working with Cassi has been seamless and stress-free from the start and when there are a million things to think about for your wedding, it is such a blessing to know that you do not have to spend one second worrying about your wedding photographer. In closing, there are not enough positive adjectives in the world to do this review justice. I am incredibly thankful for Cassi - not only do I have the most swoon-worthy, dreamy and gorgeous photos of all time, but I had the most invaluable gift of piece of mind at my wedding knowing that I could rely on my photographer to capture everything perfectly and do so exactly as planned.

made the right choice–Not only do we adore our photos, but we genuinely enjoyed spending time with her both at our engagement session, wedding day, and all the communications we had with her on the side. I thought I would feel uncomfortable having my picture taken, especially for the engagement photos, but she totally makes you forget she even has a camera with her. She is fun, energetic, trustworthy and professional and I would recommend her to anyone!

ssi's photos are just as beautiful (her eye for detail is AMAZING) as they are meaningful. She captures every part of your wedding day flawlessly; from decor to bridal party to reception to flowers. As a bride, you can rest easy knowing that if there are certain shots you want, she will ensure that you not only get those, but every photo you could ever dream of beyond that. Cassi is not only a talented photographer, but she is one of the bubbliest, sweetest women you will ever meet. I can't thank her enough for everything she did for us during and leading up to our wedding day, and even more so, for putting her whole heart into what she does. I now have such stunning memories of my wedding day and everyone I love.

e amazed by the brightness in her photos. Her photos really stood out and made us drive an hour to look at a venue that we never would have considered otherwise. She has the ability to bring life and joy to photos in a way unlike any other photographer. From the moment we saw her work, we knew that we had to book her for our wedding! Not only is she EXTREMELY talented (seriously look at her blog...it will knock your socks off!), but she is a wonderful person who will work tirelessly to make your entire wedding experience better than you could have ever hoped. From thoughtful surprise gifts in the mail, to personal phone conversations, she feels like a friend through the whole process. Cassi really takes the time to get to know you as a couple and as a result, brings out the love, laughter and absolute best of you in all of the photos. I always considered wedding photography to be an important vendor for my big day, but I never could have imagined that the photos would become my prize possession that I will cherish for the rest of my life! I honestly believe that every couple should hire Cassi for their wedding (or at least try, before she books up)!! I promise that you will not be disappointed in the slightest bit! Hiring Cassi was the BEST decision that we made for our wedding and she was worth a lot more than she charged. Our bridal party is still talking about how much fun she (and her team!) was to work with and how great she made the day! You are so lucky that you have the chance to work with Cassi, so please do yourself a favor and don't turn down the opportunity!!

il-oriented planner (the highest compliment)! The quality of her work speaks for itself - check out her blog if you haven't already! - but what really sets her apart from other photographers we talked to is her bubbly personality. Cassi can make even the MOST awkward moments feel natural, and your pictures will be a million times better because of it. She made my husband and I, and our family and friends, feel like the best versions of ourselves during our pictures. On the day of our wedding, she navigated last minute surprises like a rainy day and additions to our family photo lineup without batting an eye. She made it so that my husband and I spent absolutely no time worrying about a location for the first look, our photography schedule, or that some detail may be overlooked - instead we could just focus on having an amazing time with the people we love most and trust that she would be right there to capture every intimate moment of it. When we got our full photo gallery, we were struck by two things. First, she made us and everyone we love look the best they have ever looked. We have incredible shots of even our most camera-shy loved ones, from grandma to our 2 year old ring bearer and flower girl. Second, she truly captured the spirit of our day - the intense joy that ran through it from start to finish. We were able to relive the love, laughter, and celebration that we felt that day - and we can relive it as often as we'd like for the rest of our lives. Thank you Cassi for putting so much time and love into our photos. We are so lucky we found you!

y of. Cassi and her husband Chris are two of the nicest people (which is a big plus when you're spending the whole day with them) and they really helped us and our wedding party loosen up and have fun taking pictures. She is also super organized and kept the day running smoothly and efficiently. My husband and I could not recommend Cassi more!

ever meet. Her bubbly, happy personality is infectious, and you can’t help but be in a good mood around her. On the day of my wedding she was a wonderful presence. Your photographer is the person you will spend the most time with on your wedding day (aside from your groom/bride) and Cassi was the perfect choice. She was very calming and organized amidst the chaos of the day, and handled a moment of crisis better than I could’ve imagined. She honestly felt like “one of the girls” and I have since gotten so many comments from my bridesmaids and family on how wonderful she was to have around. And don’t even get me started on the photos. I’ve only seen a few as my wedding was just last week, but OMG they are amazing. And just as a side note, I’m not sure what it is about her “Fun Booth", but those pictures are hands down better than any other wedding's photo booth I’ve ever seen. They were posted just a few days after our wedding and all our guests LOVE them! I could go on and on… but basically, just stop looking and hire her. I can promise you, you won’t regret it!

about 50% of their work so I passed them up because I knew I would be even more picky with my own pictures. We almost ended up going with another photographer, I had the contract and was ready to sign but I was hesitant and decided to look around one last time. That's when I came across Cassi and I can't even tell you how thankful I am that I did. From our fist meeting we absolutely loved her. She was so friendly and answered all of my questions and best of all, I could tell from the first call that she was super organized which I loved! I loved everything about her after the first call, the only thing that made me hesitant was that she had never photographed our venue before. We decided to look past that and we are so glad we did. I would STRONGLY recommend Cassi for your wedding photography!! This girl is amazing at what she does and she's just an amazing person. She has such positive energy. You can tell that she loves what she does. After the wedding my mom mentioned to me that most photographers would show up, take pictures and leave but with Cassi you could tell that she actually was happy to be there. After the wedding she creates a cute blog so you have a chance to see some of the pictures before she's done editing the rest. I've only seen the blog so far but I can honestly say that there was not one picture I didn't love. Definitely book Cassi for your wedding!!!

our love through her work (which she does an amazing job doing as well). Cassi and her team were friendly, helpful, professional, HIGHLY ORGANIZED, punctual, extremely hard working, easy to get along with and fun every step of the way (they even put up with my husband and his groomsmen's stupid jokes the whole day without one complaint). We are very grateful to have had Cassi and Lauren be a part of our wedding day. The end product far exceeded our expectations, especially considering our photo time was essentially cut in half (given a late start to our ceremony)! These girls know how to hustle and get the job done all with a big smile and without making us feel rushed. Their work captured the love and fun shared by everyone at our wedding as well as the uniqueness of everyone’s personalities. Everyone who has seen our pictures comments that they have never seen pictures full of life and such happiness. Beyond her expertise in photography Cassi herself is kind, easy going and very personable. She seamlessly becomes a close friend throughout the process and especially the day of. She was very helpful during the planning process on things unrelated to photography, which we really appreciated. I could continue talking about all the wonderful things, but I will wrap up my review with this - I think everyone should use Cassi, it will be the best wedding decision you make… well except for marrying your hubby ;)!

ad sneak peeks the day of, and it was only a matter of weeks before our full suite of digital photos was complete. She's great at capturing all the fun moments, and her photos are so bright, colorful, and alive. She's definitely not your standard fare wedding photog, and she's WORTH IT! The one big thing you get to take away from your wedding (aside from hopefully a long happy marriage, haha) are the photos. It's easy to low-budget lots of stuff, but do not skimp on your photographer. You really get what you pay for, and Cassi is truly one of the best. I mean, honestly, for what you get she's an incredible value. I was absolutely sold when she told me that she includes an engagement session in her package because she wants the opportunity to get to know you better and to help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera on your wedding day. (OK, so I was ACTUALLY sold long before that when I saw her photos from my friends' wedding, but this was definitely an extra sell). She's not there to show up, she's not there to just hit the key moments, she's really there to capture your day and the feel of your wedding. Here are some of the HUGE pluses you get: 1) engagement session 2) full access to digital files that you are free to share all over the internets (provided you use a photo credit, duh!!) - oh, and she does not plaster a huge, big ugly water mark over the whole picture 3) super cute blog posts! 4) a beautiful website with a curated and organized gallery of all of your photos - AND you can order prints straight from it! 5) the FUN booth (costs extra - totally worth it) 6) a super friendly, professional, amazing human to take all of your photos Seriously: if you want pictures that will make people say "wow" look no further.

itting down and chatting with Cassi for the first time we knew that she was someone we wanted to be part of our day. We loved Cassi’s attention to detail and organization. Prior to the wedding she spent many hours listening to what was important to us and she captured all of these moments and people in her photos. One of the photos we wanted needed to be taken at the end of the night. However, my husband and I forgot about the photo in all of the wedding fun. Twenty minutes after the wedding ended, Cassi ran back in to the venue, camera in hand. She remembered the photo we wanted and turned around to make sure that moment was captured. She is truly dedicated and finds joy in pleasing her clients. We loved working with Cassi and her bubbly fun personality. But most of all, we LOVE the quality of Cassi’s work and the beauty of her photos.

and family can not stop raving about her! Even my husband who is usually camera shy felt so comfortable with her and said she had this amazing way about her that it was just so much fun. Her amazing fun personality made it so much easier to take pictures, no awkward moments which translated in the most gorgeous pictures!!! She kept us all laughing and smiling throughout the whole day. Choosing Cassi was hands down the easiest decision we made in planning our wedding. The use of your own personalized photo website everything was effortless and so many of our guests love how easy it is to get their own copies right from her!

are both so talented and such a great team! On the day of our wedding it was overcast and stormy...we were so sad because we thought the pictures were not going to turn out the way we wanted them. Cassi and Chris couldn't have been nicer and assured us that the pictures were going to be amazing...well they were right...the pictures turned out to be absolutely beautiful! They were more than we hoped for! We were so thankful our friends Donna and Oleg found Cassi for there wedding we already knew our pictures would be amazing I knew the second I got engaged I wanted Cassi. I booked her as soon as we picked our wedding date. When we received our wedding photos, we were blown away how amazing they were! Cassi and Chris captured so many beautiful moments and it feels good knowing that every time we look through our pictures, we can relive our wedding day. Thank you so much Cassi and Chris..you guys are the best!!

Throughout the whole process Cassi went above and beyond. She not only surprised us with treats along the way, but she was so on top of her game that it actually made our wedding planning much easier! The engagement session that we had together was one moment we’ll cherish forever. Even though it was extremely hot/humid that day, Will and I remembered walking out of the shoot totally refreshed, happy, encouraged, and renewed. It was getting to know Cassi and her husband Chris that made the whole experience EXTRAORDINARY! They are truly such a special couple and spending the afternoon with them was such a treat. We honestly didn’t have high expectations for our engagement photos because we were such hot messes that day (literally dripping with sweat), but once Cassi sent us our photos, we were completely blown away! On the actual wedding day Cassi and Chris totally did their thing. She kept us on our timeline and helped us feel at ease throughout the whole process. She made everyone so comfortable with her bubbly spirit and was really able to effortlessly capture every precious moment! OH and did we mention we also got our photos back SUPER fast? We got married in mid November and got everything back before Christmas - crazy, we know! Trust us, if you want an unforgettable wedding experience, choose Cassi. You won't regret it!

ever felt like I was being "staged", but instead was amazed at how Cassi captured the real moments in a gorgeous way. Not only are the ending photos great, but I have to say Cassi made the whole wedding planning experience so much easier. I was often overwhelmed by all the decisions that had to be made, but Cassi truly went out of her way to make everything easy and to make sure the day was captured how I wanted. She is so friendly and positive, and I felt like she truly cared about our special day. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Cassi and her husband, and would recommend them to everyone!

y matched the feel we were looking for: bright, colorful, cheerful and natural. She captured all of this and now when I look back at our lovely pictures I can remember how fun, beautiful and truly happy our day was. Her diligence throughout the entire process impressed all of us. Our friends and family can not stop raving about her! The best part, after getting to know her so well it felt like having another friend at my wedding making it so much easier to take pictures ( no awkward staged moments!) She kept us all laughing and smiling throughout the whole day. Choosing Cassi was hands down the easiest decision we made in planning our wedding. From contract signing to use of your own personalized photo website everything was effortless. She also has the best photo-booth anyone has ever seen (super easy to tag and share on social media). My husband and I knew we were in good hands and we are so in love with the results. My one regret? Not booking an engagement session. Don't make my mistake!

i made all of us feel instantly comfortable and happy, and her pictures show that! They are real, fun, bright, and authentic photos! The quality is amazing, and she was able to create the most magical photos in the most unlikely of places. Cassi goes above and beyond what most photographers offer, and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Our day would not have been as seamless without her, and thanks to Cassi, I was actually able to enjoy my day, knowing the beautiful moments were being captured in the most amazing way and never having to worry about the schedule.

ng us how incredible they are. Cassi is the best!

it!

work with, and within my budget and what i got was way more than i could have imagined. When we first spoke via IChat, we clicked.. she is bubbly and cheerful and just makes you smile and laugh and feel happy, which is exactly how you should feel when you are planning your wedding. Her personality alone is addictive and you just cant help but to love her. My husband and I are bubbly, free spirited and she matched us perfectly for this occasion. Through out the planning process she was organized, up front, and supportive of any idea i had and even built upon my ideas. My husband and I were dead set that we did not want to see each other before the ceremony but wanted daylight pictures together and she made that happen and it was gorgeous! She caught all the little details and moments and was so fun and easy. She brought a second photographer with her named Leandra who was equally as amazing and together they created a perfect portfolio of our wedding. I cannot say enough about Cassi and her beautiful work and tremendous personality. She is truly a diamond of a photographer and such a sweetie i would recommend her a million times over. Thank you SO SO MUCH, we love you lady! If you want to see her work from our wedding day feel free to visit our website :) www.johnlovesmaxim.cassiclaire.com

p priority once we started our wedding planning and were thrilled she was available! Cassi captured our wedding, our families and friends, and the overall atmosphere (including all the details) so beautifully with clear, bright, not-too-scripted and fun pictures!! She was also a perfect friend to spend the day with --- her spirit and smile are so easy and welcoming. I would highly recommend Cassi to any couple looking for beautiful and happy photos of your special day, and a wonderful person to spend that day with.

Cassi was available for our date! Her style and attitude were exactly what we were looking for and her portfolio blew me away. The beautiful, bright and soft photos were stunning. I don't recall my wedding being nearly as gorgeous as it looked in the photos. She captured so many perfect moments and so much of the joy of that day completely naturally. I can't imagine how much time she spent editing all of those photos (there were so many!) but the end product came out perfectly. And on top of that, Cassi was a joy to work with and extremely helpful with our schedule and so many other planning questions. My guests were also blown away by her work. Month later, we're still receiving compliments on the photos we've shared, referral requests and, sadly, complaints from other couples that their own photos suffered by comparison ; ). I'm so grateful to Cassi for memorializing our wedding exactly as I would have wanted. Actually, much better than I could have hoped. Thanks, Cassi!

ed for wedding photos half as amazing as some of the ones she took. The photos she took of our wedding certainly did not disappoint! She captured every moment perfectly and we love that we have this timeline of our wedding day to look through to remember all the fun we had and everyone who was there to celebrate with us. I am constantly blown away by how beautiful each picture is and how perfectly they capture the day!

ve to do with it?" let me assure you it has a great deal to do with it. Cassi made us, our friends and our family feel comfortable, in good spirits and kept us laughing. Her fantastic personality *and* her amazing talent combine to create some of the most memorable and personally meaningful pictures you could ask for. We felt extraordinarily lucky to have not just a photographer, but a friend by the time we reached our wedding day, who took the time to get to know us enough to ensure she captured all those memories we, personally, would hold so dear. And don't even get me started on her pictures!! I had trouble not declaring every, single, solitary one my favorite. There are stunning photos not just of me, but of my husband, of our friends and of our families. She absolutely captured the joy, fun and excitement of the day from our morning getting ready to the last person clearing the dance floor. Looking at her pictures even helped me remember wonderful moments I had lost in the craziness of the day. We now have a treasure trove of fabulous photos from our engagement session and our wedding day that we will cherish forever. After spending all weekend pouring over our beautiful photos, I am ever more certain that our split-second decision to choose Cassi as our photographer was the single best wedding-planning decision we made.

ssi Claire did not simply take pictures of our wedding. She captured the very essence of our day, our family, and of us as a couple and preserved them forever in the most brilliant, crystal clear images you will ever find. Anywhere. Looking at Cassi's work is like peering through a window in time; I swear you can hear sounds of laughter and music emanating from the pages. Throughout the day Cassi didn't seem like a person being paid to do a job. She was like a dear friend who cared as much as we did about creating the perfect day. She knew exactly what we wanted before we even knew ourselves. And in the end, when it was all over and the music stopped and the guests went home, and we began our new life together, what was left of this most special day? Our rings, a frozen piece of cake, and Cassi's pictures. And I couldn't be more satisfied. I cherish every single image, every moment in time that Cassi has given to us.

ghout the entire planning process Cassi was organized, responsive, and helpful. Not only is she an incredible photographer but she's also fun, thoughtful, and lovable. She makes everyone feel at ease and you can't help but laugh and smile when she's around. Cassi's pictures are vibrant, colorful, and crisp. She captured details and moments that I didn't even realize were happening! Thanks to Cassi I have beautiful engagement and wedding pictures that I will cherish forever.

irst met Cassi for our engagement session in West Village and we had the best time with her! We felt like we were just walking around with a friend of ours who just happened to be the best photographer on the planet. My husband and I have never had professional photos taken and were a little nervous we were going to look awkward or stiff, but Cassi made the whole experience so comfortable and easy-going that we just got to be ourselves. We were in love with everything about that day, especially with how our engagement pictures turned out! We are so beyond happy and grateful that she was able to be with us during our experience and on our wedding day. She is not only the most talented photographer ever but also such an amazing, bubbly, fun person! Her energy and enthusiasm for what she does never ever fade’s. We always say how lucky we are to have been able to work with her and to know her. If you are looking to have the most bright and beautiful engagement and wedding photos, Cassi Claire Photography is the best you can ask for! I would recommend her to everyone and anyone!

ctly what we were looking for: modern, bright, and wonderfully creative, she has a sparkling personality that totally clicked with us. Starting from our first meeting, it was clear Cassi is super organized and completely well-versed in all things weddings. By the time we got to our wedding, Cassi had collected every intricate detail of the day and constructed a comprehensive timeline noting our every move from getting ready until cake cutting. It was truly a pleasure to work with Cassi (and her co-shooter Chris) and the photos from the day are just amazing. Of course all the main events throughout the day were wonderfully shot, but it’s those smaller moments that Cassi and Chris captured that are honestly stunning. Further, we were fortunate enough to have our wedding chosen to be featured on Brides.com thanks to Cassi, which only reiterates her fabulous talent and photography expertise. We truly had a fantastic experience working with Cassi and we have an amazing collection photos to show for it. If you’re lucky enough to find that Cassi is available on your wedding date, you would be absolutely crazy not to book with her. Thanks again Cassi and Chris!

o finish, Cassi was very professional with us, gave us different options for packages, recommended great ideas like our first look which we wound up going with, and helped us out with a very wonderful and helpful day of timeline. My husband has red hair, she has red hair, and she loves cupcakes-- WIN! Our phone conversations, meet up appointments, or very thorough emails were so helpful and much more informative than any other vendor we had! She only does a limited amount of weddings per year so you're never just 'one of the bunch' and instead, someone she gets to know- which then shows the day you get your breathtaking photos back from her, all in high resolution and simply 'so us'! We had the pleasure of having her and her husband Chris the entire day of the wedding, taking pictures of the ladies, and groomsmen, the first look, portraits, our dark ceremony which she did wonders with, and the entire reception start to finish. She surprised us with a live montage feed which everyone loved! And when my DJ's photobooth broke, she thought on her feet and suggested impromptu shots with all of our props on the dancefloor! We just got our photos back, very quickly might I add after our wedding, and they're all phenemonal and very organized on her website that she uses. It's all so personalized and so professional with your own blog post, unique website, and an easy way to showcase your whole night with quick clicks for facebook, pinterest, and to order your favorites! We'll always have Cassi in our lives for our very special moments and can't wait to use her again!

e her business card after hearing I was looking for a photographer, and boy am I lucky to have received it! We decided to hire her immediately after looking at her fun, colorful, artistic and genuine photos. She immediately met us over a delicious cup of coffee and opened her ears to what we wanted our wedding day to be like: which included a trip to Shake Shack during our bride & groom photos so that we could eat. She was enthusiastic and on board about every idea we presented to her. Her communication with us was professional and extremely thorough to make sure all of the details were ironed out. We created a timeline to organize the day's events, and she kept us on schedule without any pressure. Cassi's personality compliments her style. It was impossible to not smile when she took the photos. Her bright energy lights up any room she's in. The photos themselves are stunning and arrived in a timely manner, even earlier than planned! Please look at her website immediately to get a glimpse. Many of my guests told me that I have the best wedding photos they have ever received, and I have already recommended her to other couples. She even sent us bride & groom candied apples days before. How adorable! I grant her 5 beautiful, happy and awesome stars.

htful. The whole process is clear and she makes it fun! Her photos are out of this world amazing, she's so fun to be around, and one of my favorite things - she offers sneak peaks of her work the same day! That way you have something to tide you over until the rest of her amazing work is ready for viewing. She makes you feel special and look special. Her photos are bright and clean, and she is genius with light and color. Her style is clean, bright, and most of all - happy. Love the photos so much! She stayed with us for the entire day, from getting ready all the way through dancing and dessert. I feel so lucky to have had her as my photographer, and I'm already planning on trying to book her for something else in the future! She's a delight!

rips, clean, bright, and fresh! I love that she makes you feel so at ease and makes the time fun and not awkward. In fact, I didn't even see Cassie during the ceremony, I knew she would be at the right place at the right time. AND I was right. . .the photos were awesome! She was everywhere at one time. Can I just say, it's been one month since I got married and my photos are READY? That is like, unheard of?!. . .she works so quickly, but with such quality. I loved every moment of choosing her as a photographer! Thank you SO SO much! You are super talented :)

ng, but it feels like yesterday, and the photos from that day never get old--I swear I look at them every day. Cassi's personality fit so well with mine and my husbands. She had this amazing talent of "getting us." She learned about who were were, what made us tick, and made every effort to portray our personalities in her pictures. Cassi's colorful and fun style is unmatched by any photographer I met through the planning process. Cassi truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect (on the day of the wedding she even brought me and my bridesmaids bagels from Bagel Shmagel, I mean, really, what vendor will be so nice as to feed you as well?!) Cassi was amazing leading up to the wedding, absolutely perfect during the wedding, and continued to impress me after the wedding. Cassi posted sneak peak pictures for my husband and I to use on Facebook to create excitement after the wedding. In addition, we had our own wedding website and blog post. Cassi did everything to hype up our wedding and made us feel really special. It was also great because our friends and family stayed connected through the whole process. Finally, Cassi also submitted our wedding to a wedding blog--and we were actually published, which was a great feeling! The quality of service and quality of pictures truly exceeded my expectations. Hands down, Cassi was the best vendor we hired! I can't say enough about Cassi. She was a huge part of the wedding, staying professional and fun through the whole process. We are still friends to this day and I recommend her highly to bride's out there who want a fun, energetic, animated and truly talented photographer for their big day! Kudos, Cassi! YOU ROCK!

n for her art. She listened to our vision of our big day,and was able to capture and deliver special moments that we will be able to cherish for years to come. Cassi put us completely at ease before the ceremony during our First Look shoot. Our enjoyment is reflected in the photographs. The pictures were stunning! I am complimented continuously on the quality of the pictures, and I attribute that to Cassi. We very much enjoyed working with her and are grateful for capturing the most precious moments. I would highly recommend her and her services. You will not be disappointed!

e recommended Cassi! Right from the beginning Cassi was quick to respond to my emails and to set up a consultation. Cassi’s enthusiasm was contagious from the moment we met, and her genuine interest in our plans made it feel like we were working with a close friend. I felt very comfortable getting in touch with Cassi, even for things that might bother other photographers… like me emailing her pictures of my bridesmaid’s gifts! On the day of the wedding, Cassi was very organized and time-conscious. She kept the bridal party on track with timing, and she even drove me to our venue for our first look so that my parents could take their time getting ready at the hotel! I was also impressed by Cassi’s true appreciation for our venue, finding art through her photos that we didn’t even know was there! Lastly, Cassi’s hard work continued after the wedding. She had sneak-peek pictures posted the very next day and our full blog up within a month. Cassi even took the time to submit our photos to wedding blogs, managing to get us published on two of them: Modernly Wed and The Un-Jersey Bride. All of our friends and family were impressed by the hard-working Cassi on the day of the wedding and the gorgeous pictures she presented to us shortly after. I highly recommend Cassi to anyone looking for bright, colorful, inspirational photography and a hard-working, enthusiastic, and sincere photographer to match!

t to know our personalities and relationship so that she could capture our wedding day perfectly, and our first meeting was very natural and never forced. Feeling comfortable with our photographer was something really important to us, and my husband and I had no doubts about working with her, after meeting. In lieu of engagement photos, we had her capture our city hall wedding, which was amazing. And then the finished product from our actual wedding day at NYC's Manhattan Penthouse were unbelievable. It rained the day of our wedding, so our original plan (capturing photos outside in Washington Square Park) needed a PLAN B. Cassi did her research and helped us finagle our way into a nearby library setting, which was super unique. She really captured the emotion of our wedding. I had guests compliment that they were the best wedding photos they had ever seen. My bridesmaids loved her energy and the vibe the entire day was great. Post wedding, Cassi published our pics to our personal wedding super fast, and even submitted them to several blogs. We were published on "Style Me Pretty New York", which means so much to us, and something I probably would have never been able to do on my own. I would highly recommend Cassi to anyone looking for a wedding photographer or someone to help capture moments for any life changing event. I will definitely use her services again.

nd shooter and he was also terrific. The pictures are amazing and capture every important detail and moment. We are so happy with the final product and would recommend her to anyone!

re than pleased with our pictures! Love you and thanks again Cassi (and Chris!)

wonderful and Cassi is a true professional. Her prices are completely reasonable and she will work with you to build a package that works for you. You get her all day- there is no limit to the number of hours and you get 2 photographers. She posted sneak peeks of pictures just days after the wedding and has a wonderful website to communicate your wedding photos with you and your guests.

Cassi and I had a feeling right away that she would be a great fit. From looking at her site, I loved her style- the pictures captured moments and were bright and clear- all the brides in the pictures looked like they were having fun and I couldn’t wait for that to be me. From my first contact with her, she was always very responsive and organized with checklists, multiple meetings, and a timeline of events which definitely helped me lay out my wedding day as well. The day of the wedding, Cassi and the 2nd photographer were with us all day, kept us on track, made me very comfortable, and her enthusiasm rubbed off on everyone and even rallied the bridal party to take a few additional pictures before heading into Cocktail Hour. In the days following, even on my honeymoon, I got to see early sneak peeks and the website with all the pictures was published before July (some of my other friends using other photographers had to wait months to see their pics!). I also loved how easy she made downloading and sharing the pics on Facebook. The website that she put together had a section for the lower resolution pictures to easily choose your favorites and create a Facebook album – nice perk to share with all my friends!

feel so lucky to have found Cassi and I will use her services for all of my photographer needs in the future.
