The best photos live in the pockets of raw emotion and real connection.
The wind catching your veil halfway through your vows.
Your partner tearing up the second they see you.
The nervous laughter, dirty hiking boots, champagne sprayed a little too early, and that feeling of realizing you actually get to marry your favorite person in the middle of the mountains.
That’s the kind of storytelling I care about.
Hi I’m Cassandra! I’m the photographer behind Wild Lupine Photo. I was raised here in the Gunnison Valley, and after years spent traveling, creating, and learning from people all over, I found my way back home to document love stories in the place that has always held me.
I’m an elopement photographer, artist, location scout, hype girl, timeline helper, and “what do I do with my hands?” guide all rolled into one.
My work is rooted in connection and documenting your day as it genuinely unfolds. Honest moments, unscripted emotion, and photographs that feel like memories when you look back on them years from now.
I’m also Leave No Trace Certified, which means helping couples experience these beautiful places intentionally and responsibly is deeply important to me too.
Whether you already have a mountaintop dream location in mind or have no idea where to start, I’m here to help you plan, explore, and create a day that feels fully like you.
Here for the moments that are unscripted, connected, adventurous, and deeply human.
Just the way it should be. đź’›
