Cassia Karin Photography

e a picture of THAT!" And she just smiled and got the shot. She offered to meet w us in person before the day of and we couldn't find time so she offered video chat to get to know us and talk details! Quality: her portfolio speaks for itself! She has great talent at taking soft and romantic photos. Overall Value: compared to other photographers of her caliber she was the most reasonable we could find for our budget. Contract was straightforward with no "set hourly package." We got footage of the ENTIRE event. She was there from the beginning until the last guests were trickling out. Above and Beyond: she ended up driving me and my husband around from place to place day of our wedding bc last minute our family didn't have room in their car, and we would have been stranded or have to take uber LOL. She even sent us a very sweet and special wedding card a few weeks before our wedding. Of course everyone wants beautiful pictures of their wedding, but our day was EVEN MORE special because she felt like part of the family. Cassia is a wonderful photographer but her personality, flexibility, and eagerness to keep us happy is what makes her standout among the sea of professionals. My husband and I STRONGLY recommend her. THANKS CASSIA!!

ey artistically crafted, but they do an impressive job of capturing the emotions and essence of the moment. This was true for both our engagement shoot and the wedding itself. We decided against having a videographer, and looking at Cassia's photos confirmed the fact that we absolutely didn't need one; the photos are filled with life and feeling. Not only is her work gorgeous, but Cassia is a beautiful person that added so much to the experience of our wedding. Having her there as part of the day felt as if we had another close friend around. She went above and beyond to make us and our families feel comfortable, and we could not have asked for more. Thank you, Cassia and Elizabeth, for everything! To anyone who is thinking about hiring a photographer for your event—grab her!!

o detail, preferences, and listens to your desires. She's incredibly thorough, professional, creative, reliable, and COMPLETELY trustworthy! HIRE HER! THANK YOU, CASSIA!

osemite, outdoor shooting, her knack for capturing moments and her personality. We took the engagement photos which turned out amazing and better that either of us expected. She coached us and helped us to feel extremely comfortable in front of her camera despite being camera shy people. This was a nice addition and was included in our package. We got a better idea of the type of pictures we liked and it helped the awkwardness wear off. We also used those in a guestbook. When it came to our wedding Cassia and her husband Tommy went above and beyond the call of duty. Cassia did an excellent job of calming our nerves and making us laugh. The day flew by and was the best day of my life. I feel like this was really reflected in the pictures. We wanted the photographs to capture the memories and feelings of the day. We got the posed shots (which I feel like don't look posed and are gorgeous!) and tons of memories and moments captured. Looking through our pictures really allows me to relive the day. I don't feel like I'm missing anything. We also asked our family and friends not to take pictures during the ceremony-- they were somewhat anxious about not having their own pictures but after seeing Cassia's pictures they were so happy and I was happy no cameras were in her shots :) I can not recommend Cassia highly enough. She is passionate, professional, and I can't believe how blessed I am to have her as my wedding photographer! I wish we weren't moving away so she could take our baby pictures.

ing I looked into. It was then that I notice how important reviews are. So here is my review for Lux Aeterna Photography! I have to say that I was a bit skeptical at first because I didn't know how reliable the website I found this photographer on was. So I emailed her and she immediately contacted me. The day Cassia phoned me, I was at my daughters gymnastics practice so I was having a hard time understanding her. So I figured the same was on her end. The conversation was short and I told her I'd contact her after class. She asked for my email and said she would sent over her rates. At the very end of her email she wrote to me "keep your eyes on that tumbling girl of yours" and I was astonished at how much she had paid attention to my details that had nothing to do with my wedding. Little did I know that this was just the beginning of an amazing experience with this sweet photographer. She contacted me more than once after that phone call. I was still looking at other photographers but she not once forgot about me. Eventually 2 weeks before my wedding day she called me once again(on her anniversary vacation may I add) and at that moment I said this is the one! I didn't get to meet her until my actual wedding day being that it was in only 2 short weeks I had tons to do so I didn't meet her until the day! She was great that day. She arrived at my house to get pictures of me getting ready and let me say I thought it was only me but she captured beautiful pictures of my two daughters putting their dresses on. I loved that she included everyone that was at my house that morning. When I got a glimpse of some of the pictures she captured that night, I was in tears she captured the most beautiful images. Cassia is by far the best!!!!

ations we wanted too. The actual shoot was very intimate and easy. She was so great to work with. I never thought I was very photogenic but the photos were amazing. She kept us laughing and relaxed. The best part was that all of our family and friends said you could see how much we love each other in the photos. She captured everything we wanted. I could not have asked for a better experience.

creative and fun. She is incredibly professional in all aspects of her job from timeliness (day of and delivery of final product), consultation of services and interactions with anyone and everyone at the wedding. As for the photography itself, they pictures turned out phenomenally. Her creative and artistic eye capture every photo I wanted, and every photo I didn't know I wanted :) The lighting, framing and quality all went above and beyond my expectations. My only regret is that I didn't find her and her work sooner!

eing lots of photos that were just “ok”, I came across Lux Aeterna. When I stumbled upon Cassia’s website and blog, I just knew she was the photographer I HAD to have! Her photographs capture details AND emotions, exactly what I was looking for. Then much to my surprise, I found out that her prices were reasonable too! My husband and I got married on 3/21/15. Cassia was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. She was willing to travel to our destination without even charging us an extra travel fee. She traveled on two separate occasions (3-4 hours each way) with no extra fee, once for our engagement photos and second to our wedding. Taking the time to do our engagement photos at Cassia’s request (which I might add were at no extra charge), gave us the opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera and with Cassia as our photographer. It also gave us all, the opportunity to figure out what the best kinds of shots would be for our wedding day. I got to know Cassia going through the process and can’t help but feel like she takes a personal interest in us as a couple and family. Cassia as a person is genuine and easy going. Cassia as a photographer is a stealth ninja! She takes charge when she needs to and she can be in five different locations at once to get the perfect angles and shots for her photographs. During our wedding I had no idea where she was, but after seeing our pictures, I can’t believe how many locations she seemed to be in, all at once. While getting ready and at the reception, I felt like I had an extra bridesmaid who would help me with whatever I needed, like fixing the snaps on my dress that kept popping open. Having her there on our wedding day was such a pleasure. We are so happy with all of our wedding and engagement photos, and friends and family raved about them too. Cassia was also willing to make her photo packages work so we could get exactly what we wanted as far as picture orders. I would highly recommend Cassia to friends and family! Now we have wedding photos that we can cherish for a lifetime!

It was so worthwhile to have so many wonderful photographs of our wedding!

told a story and shared an emotion. She's a delight to work with and communication with her was always easy. She responded to my emails in a timely and friendly manner. Definitely recommend lux aeterna!!!

tant spent the day with us from morning til night at our wedding. We have so many fond memories being able to look back at our gorgeous photos. We have had so many compliments on the quality and beauty of our pictures over the last four years! I certainly would recommend Cassia!

hang onto. When I found Cassia’s portfolio online, I loved what I saw. Her journalistic style retold the story and captured all the emotions of a couple’s wedding day. We contacted Cassia and she sent us her pricing, which is very reasonable considering the quality of photography she’s delivering. From the beginning, Cassia showed care for us as individuals and a couple; she found out what was most important to us and delivered on it. She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. She is present, involved in the action so that she can photograph it, but she isn’t intrusive, which allowed us to feel at ease. At the same time, she’s vocal enough to get the job done. My husband is from a VERY large family (there are about 60 people in the extended family) and she managed to get them corralled for a group photo in just a few minutes, which is quite a feat. Cassia maintains the perfect combination of professionalism and fun. We were so, so pleased with all of our photos. Cassia has a knack for using natural light and landscape to her advantage. We took our photos at the Maravilla Gardens in the early afternoon; the owners, who are personal friends, were concerned about the lighting at that time of day. After seeing our photos, it seems that Cassia’s eye helps her work through any obstacle: she found every workable spot and took amazing photos. Our families were also impressed with her. Everyone she interacted with at our wedding has only said good things. We are incredibly thankful to have had Cassia with us, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who will render beautiful photos.

ommodated my requests as far as . I love how our wedding photos turned out and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for quality photos from their wedding.

ed the contract and was up front about the different packages she offered. We decided to take our engagement pictures in Pasadena. She came prepared with an assistant and we came with a few outfits and a group of balloons. It was so much fun, she had a plan and was definitely telling a story with our pictures! For our wedding, we were married in Redlands and I had discussed with Cassia where exactly we should take bridal party pictures. We decided to take them at the University of Redlands. I was so thankful that she was prepared with having scouted locations already and had a plan of where to shoot the pictures because the campus is so large. I was so impressed with her professionalism and her talent. She has an eye and it just made my special day so much better! I was definitely pleased with her work, I have recommended other people to her work and will continue to refer brides-to-be to her!

can't redo the wedding day events because they didn't get a good shot. I looked at different websites of photographers I was considering. I really liked Cassia's style; it was very natural, even the group shots. She had a great eye for some amazing candid pictures. I thought the price was a good value, and everyone who has ever seen my wedding pictures say that they are great pictures. My husband and I are not models; Cassia helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and made me look awesome. She delivered everything and I was very pleased with the whole process.

nds the perfect amount of professionalism, talent, and fun-loving personality that is a MUST in a wedding photographer. I was a groomsman in over 15 weddings before my own, including 2 that were shot by Cassia. I learned quickly that if your photographer is too bossy, serious or cheesy then you are going be very annoyed by the whole experience (no matter how "blissful" you think that day is going to be). That is exactly why we chose Lux Aeterna; because the photos are stunning and because Cassia has the perfect personality. She's strong enough to politely get family members moving through the staged shots (a must for efficiency!) and yet stealthy enough to get killer pics without you even knowing she was right behind you the whole time. She captured dozens of moments that I never even knew happened at the wedding...and I'm so thankful she did. Lux Aeterna was the right choice, and money well spent!

photographer. The day of our wedding, she took my husband and I to several perfect, out-of-the-way locations that highlighted the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest which she had scouted out the day before for a private photo shoot. She did similar shoots with both the bridesmaids and groomsmen that really captured the personality of the subjects as well as the charm of our small town. When we received our photos after the wedding, we were thrilled with Cassia's creativity displayed in each photo, expert use of lighting and color, impressive editing abilities, and the way all of these photos were presented in a gorgeous, leather-bound album that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Cassia really is an artist in the true sense of the word. Let her work her magic, and you won't be disappointed.
