The first time we spoke to Kassandra we could she was very knowledgeable and forthcoming with her photography techniques, wedding experience and gave practical solutions to issues I was anticipating we would have on the day. She checked in at regular intervals between the date we hired her and the wedding day giving us tremendous peace of mind. On the wedding day she went above and beyond by helping the groom and the groomsmen get their boutonnieres on and helping everyone in the wedding party stay on track. She handled our large family group photos so well despite the many toddlers in our group. Her and the DJ worked together to keep the reception running smoothly as well, a service we were not expecting but greatly appreciated. When family members requested particular photos she was kind and accommodating. We had lots of people on the dancefloor especially little kids and she got the best pictures! The photos she got of us on the beach made us look like models! So perfect! Would highly recommend her! She's not just a photographer, she helps you navigate all the hectic chaos of your special day with enthusiasm and professionalism.

Kassandra & Granite Stag Photography was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning progress. She was so easy to communicate with, instrumental in our planning process, and simply wonderful to work with. The day of the wedding, she somehow managed to capture every beautiful moment without anything feeling posed or disingenuous. She made us feel so comfortable and beautiful and we were so at ease knowing she was there. Kassandra got every shot we asked for and had such a vision with lighting, flowers, inside space, and using the property to its fullest to capture the beauty of it too. The sneak peaks came back so fast and they were exceptional. Her photos allow us to live back the day over and over and we are so grateful for that gift. We cannot recommend Kasandra enough!

Kassandra from GRANITE STAG was fantastic and such a pleasure to work with for our wedding day! We would highly recommend her if you’re looking for a photographer in New England! ...

From the moment we first spoke with Kass, we knew we were in great hands! She was just so kind, attentive, and easy to talk to. She was also very organized and detail-oriented throughout the whole planning process, answering any questions we had along the way, and made us feel so comfortable and at ease the entire day of the wedding. We already got our sneak peek back, and WOW is all I can say!! Kass is clearly incredibly talented at what she does, and the photos so far have been absolutely beautiful and stunning!! We’ve gotten SO many compliments from people on how good they came out, and we can’t wait to see all the rest, we’re so excited! Aside from Kass’s obvious passion and true talent for photography, she’s also so sweet and so kind. She listened, worked within our budget, and helped us create exactly what we had hoped for our vision for our wedding day! Not only was she awesome with us, but she was also incredibly sweet with and did a wonderful job including our daughter in the details of the day, so that she also felt included and special too, even letting her be a part of helping her with some of the photography before the Ceremony started. We are so thankful and so appreciative to have had such a wonderful, positive experience working with Kass, and again highly recommend her company (GRANITE STAG) if you need a photographer! 😊 Danielle & Scott

irth. I simply could not recommend anyone else! My recent maternity photos were stunning and not only captured the excitement and anticipation of welcoming a little one, but captured the essence + personality of myself, my partner and our relationship as a whole. Kassandra has an immaculately talented way of telling a story through her photos without using any words, and I could just feel the love and adventurous persona of my partner and I upon receiving and reviewing our maternity portraits. I will never not recommend her to people looking for a photographer to capture any and all of life’s adventures, moments, and events ❤️❤️

ly recommend using her for any photography needs! She is willing to do anything to get the best shot, even if that means climbing a mountain at 3am for engagement photos. She is professional, caring, and is always quick to answer any questions you may have. Kassandra was always so responsive to my many questions I had. I could expect a quick response from her within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. Both of us are awkward people when it comes to getting our picture taken and well Kassandra did everything she could to empower and coach us into feeling comfortable, like nothing was out of the ordinary. When we got our photos back we were blown away with every single one. It felt like we were back on our wedding day, she captured every emotion and moment you could think of. She really does go above and beyond to make every photo absolutely perfect! We will treasure these photos forever thank you so much Kassandra for everything.

I feel so lucky to have found Kassandra to capture moments during my big day. When I first met her in person for my engagement photos it was like I had known her for years, she is ...

very personable and fun! When it came to my wedding day we had a very small intimate wedding and I wanted to travel locally to a waterfall for my bride and groom photos, she made my dream come true and blew me away with the final results. 1,000% recommend allowing her to capture the love and happiness you’re special day will have!

Her style is so unique and creative and her energy is the energy you WANT on your special day and any day you need photos done! She also truly cares about her clients and has a way of bonding with them bc she is so genuine. 100000% recommend Granite Stag!

Kiana B

Kassandra is a rock star! She defines the term artist in all of its form. She is so kind and down to earth that she fit right in with our wedding party and guests! From the moment ...

we met we knew she was our photographer. We started our journey together with our engagement photos. This wasn't any old day, this was middle of winter. -20 degrees outside and dangerous conditions. I already had my hair and makeup done and Kassandra found a way to make it happen. It was absolutely the coldest we have ever been, but the pictures made it all worth it. Hire Granite Stag Photography- you won't regret it!!

dding photos. Kassandra is confident in what she does and it shows. I was nervous because I’m not super comfortable in front of the camera but she made me feel at ease. One of my favorite things was each time she took our photos, she wanted to try something “artsy” and the photos came out so cool every time. We wouldn’t have chosen anyone else!

d, caring person and she clearly has such a strong passion for her work and the art that goes into it. Prior to the wedding she was sure that she understood our priorities for the day and she did a great job capturing our special moments! And the photos themselves were just gorgeous - truly amazing. We loved all the different shots and it was so great to have an array of different types of photos. Kassandra and her assistant stayed well throughout the day and we are so happy that she got to capture the entirety of our wedding. We are so happy with all the beautiful photos we received that let us relive our most special, favorite day!

When we first started looking for a photographer we didn’t know anything about Maine coming from Connecticut. I started searching online and when I came across Kassandra‘s photos, ...

that was enough for me. I contacted her online. She got back to me within a few minutes and we talked about our date and our venue at the Cliff House Maine, she said it was one of her favorite spots to photograph. She was so friendly and informative, she even told us the best time of day to have our ceremony. When I spoke to Kassandra she was amazing, she understood exactly what we were looking for and reassured me everything would be perfect! When she showed up to do our photography she was so sweet and so professional, we loved her right off the bat. She was so fun to work with. She had so many great ideas. I explained to her in the beginning that we really didn’t want any portraits but we want to mostly candid shots, our guest never knew she was around you barely noticed her, but when we asked her to do certain pictures she was more than accommodating. She sent us a couple of sneak peaks of our photos and we were stunned. They are the most beautiful pictures I’ve ever seen. I absolutely couldn’t wait to see the rest. I highly, highly recommend Granite Stag Photography and Kassandra for your wedding or family photos or for any of your photo needs…she is in my opinion beyond the the most creative, beautiful soul and every bit of that shows in single photograph. ♥️

From the first moment I spoke with Kassandra I knew that she would become "my photographer". Little did I know that our wedding would have become one of those completely derailed b...

y covid-19. We ended up having a small ceremony at a family lake house in Maine. Kassandra was an absolute trooper, driving over two hours to get into the water with my husband and I for the most magical photos! Fast forward a year (May 2021) and Kassandra was able to make a second appearance at our SECOND wedding celebration and having her there was an absolute blast. Kassandra has a way of making everyone feel so comfortable from behind her lens. Her professionalism shines through in every photo and we were honored to have her at both of these big events! Cannot wait to see what other events she can capture for me in the future!

If you are looking for a photographer who is going to be genuinely invested in capturing your story, relationship, and the most precious moments of your Wedding Day - look no more!...

Kassandra is hands down one of the most talented, understanding, and accommodating photographers out there and does such a wonderful job of alleviating any stress you feel about your big day. If I could give her 10 stars, I would! Book Granite Stag + you will not be disappointed.

r I would want to remember forever. I have had people say ‘I didn’t even realize you had a photographer’. Kassandra is an exceptional photographer & knows what she is doing. She makes you feel so comfortable & knows exactly how to place you for your pictures. My favorite thing she did for us was let us enjoy our day, but knowing when the right times for us to step away to get more pictures, setting up different areas & moving decor to be in our pictures, allowing my husband & I to have many varieties of pictures. As long as she is doing photography she will always be our photographer!

them in our yard. Boy was I wrong! Kassandra found some wonderful spots with great lighting and everything turned out beautiful. We could not be happier with our pictures! She is pleasant, helpful, timely, and really knows her craft. She really helped make our day memorable. She captured some great candid shots that no one saw coming. She was so patient and kind with everyone, especially some of my older family members who can sometimes be a bit difficult. She has a great eye and comes up with some awesome poses on the spot! We loved all of our pictures, and it was so nice to get them back as quick as we did. We can’t recommend Granite Stag enough!

As a photographer my standards were pretty high when searching for a wedding photographer. Kassandra’s albums online blew me away. Then When our large celebration for July 2020 was...

cancelled Kassandra stepped up and provided us with the most magical pictures to remember our intimate ceremony by! She was so professional and fun to have there on our special day. I cannot wait to do it all again next year. I’d highly recommend that anyone looking for a photographer seriously consider booking with Kassandra at Granite Stag Photography. I’ve found MY photographer! You won’t be disappointed!

Kassandra went above & beyond for our wedding day. I was nervous because we had not met in person and were traveling from MD to ME for our wedding but she made everything as smooth...

as possible. I met her the day of as I was getting ready and she made me so comfortable. During the ceremony & reception it was like she wasn’t even there but she somehow captured all of the important aspects we wanted. After the wedding we got all of our edited pictures in less than a week, to our surprise! The pictures are absolutely stunning and I feel so lucky to have had Kassandra capture our day!! Highly highly suggest.

he streets were flooded and she still managed to be on time and completely ready. She wasn't even rattled! Upon arrival, she took my accessories and did a thorough shoot of those, then she did photos of my bridesmaids. She made us all feel so comfortable and any photo that we asked her to take, she would do! Kassandra is incredibly creative. She spent the whole night coming up with these incredibly shots and they are incredibly stunning. She has the eye that everyone wants in a photographer and I could not reccomend her more! She is professional, sweet and so hard working. 5 Stars was a no brainer, she deserves a million! My husband and I feel so incredibly lucky to have had her and her assistant apart of our day.
