It’s still freezing in New Jersey and I’ve been daydreaming about .

This morning with Zac and his friends was so much fun. They went for a swim in the ocean before getting ready. Just fully committing to the chaos of swimming in red flag waters and sunburn potential hours before the wedding.

At one point, Dom turned to me and said "hold my camera" then ran in to join them as they all yelled DOMMMMMMM!! and threw their arms in the air 🤣🤣

Once we were back in the hotel room, Zac's brother pulled out a koozie with Zac's face on it that said
“Once you go Persian there’s no other version.”

10/10 confidence. 10/10 group. Would 100% trade this cold gloomy weather in a heartbeat to relive Kelsey and Zac's wedding weekend in Mexico again.

Dom was looking through old photo albums last night and he showed me photos of his parents I'd never seen before. This one is my favorite. Not sure exactly when it was taken, but it had to have been the 70s-80s when they were still living in Toronto.

Antonio turned 80 on Valentine's Day, but he asked us not to post about it that day because he said "80 is too heavy."

I'd never seen this photo before, but it's one of my favorites of him and Francesca. I see so much in this one photo. Happiness, pride, excitement. I wonder, were they celebrating something? I wonder who took the photo.

Photos like these are the reason why I became a photographer. Having photos of my grandparents and my mom when they were younger fills me with so much gratitude for the photographer who snapped the shot. I knew from an early age I wanted to pay-it-forward and pass on this feeling and the gift of photos to others.

Someday I hope your kids and grandkids are looking back lovingly at photos like this that I took of you.

I converted this one to black and white, but swipe for the color corrected version and the original in all its red/magenta time worn glory.

P.S. print your photos, and write on the back

Ciara + Joe eloped in Paris, then came home to celebrate with a reception in Asbury Park.

I’ll always love couples who choose what feels right instead of what’s expected.

They got ready together. I’d love to see more couples do this!

No separation. No staged first look.

Just calm energy. Fully present. Side by side.

At one point, her sister was on the floor doing a quick hem because the lining was peeking out past the sequins.

No panic. No pressure. Just laughter and a handful of safety pins.

Would you get ready together?

This is one you're gonna want to swipe through 👉🏼

Elly + Ryan's wedding day was full of fun, tender moments, and explosions of color. From the invitations, the bridesmaids dresses and the .aura_ florals to the cassette tape seating chart and branded E⚡R pins, custom keychains, and candy 🚬s, every detail was thoughtfully designed and full of personality.

THIS is how you make your wedding your own and not some copy-and-pasted version of someone else's from Pinterest.

Only could take a bowling alley/music venue and turn it into a space this beautiful and effortlessly cool.

And only could keep our gorgeous bride looking flawless from day to night on a sweaty dancefloor packed by .

If this wedding feels like your vibe, I definitely think we should work together ⚡Reach out - link in bio!

Italy on film, part I.

Each time I leave Calabria, my heart breaks a little more than the last. No time spent there is ever enough and I always feel homesick when I'm back in the US. To be honest, Calabria feels more like home to me at this point than home does. It's such a strange feeling.

Every time we visit, it feels like we never left, and when we get back home it feels like it was only a dream we were there. When I got these film scans back, the homesick pangs in my stomach hit harder than ever. Film really captured the magic of Calabria.

A face I don’t post enough: mine

It’s been a minute since I shared a photo of myself, so here I am, the person behind the camera.

I’m Cassie. I’m based just outside NYC in Fort Lee, NJ, and I photograph weddings all over—from city rooftops to coastal weekends to intimate celebrations among the neon glow of Vegas. I’m at my best when I’m traveling, collaborating with other creative souls, and capturing moments that feel both timeless and deeply personal.

My approach to photography is intuitive and storytelling-driven. I’m all about the quiet in-betweens, the deep exhales, the warmth and wildness of being surrounded by your people. I love weaving those fleeting moments in with thoughtful, editorial portraits.

When I’m not photographing weddings, you can usually find me in my garden, baking sourdough, or obsessing over the zinnias I’m crossbreeding for fun (yes, really 🤓).

Most of my couples are creatives or sentimental types who want their wedding to feel like them, and who care about photography not just as documentation, but as memory.

If that sounds like you, we’d probably get along just fine 🤍

First day of spring vibes 🌞 These sunny photos will always be a favorite of mine from the branding shoot I did with .

I planted approximately 1 million bulbs (okay maybe 200) last fall and I'm anxiously awaiting their bloom. Any day now!

A little personal film photo dump (are photo dumps still a thing?) in NYC and LA, and LA pretending to be NYC.

The majority of these were taken last fall when we were in the city for Dom's Italian Passport appointment. I'd been wanting to see the Vivian Maier exhibit at , and I didn't realize until we left that it was the last day Fotografiska was open in this iconic building. Clearly, I was inspired by Vivian Maier's work and took a few self portraits in the mirrors inside the museum.

I will always take a photo of an old car.

We did a Paramount Studios tour when we were in LA shortly after. 10/10 would recommend. Such a fun activity. The last photo is Dom standing on one of the NYC sets.

A moment for Julianna’s bouquet 🤍✨

There’s something about an all-white cascading orchid wedding bouquet that commands attention—not in a loud way, but in the way a perfectly tailored gown or a slow turn in a crowded room does. It’s bold, a work of art, and unapologetically elegant—just like the modern bride carrying it.

With its flowing shape and striking simplicity, this bouquet doesn’t just complement Julianna—it mirrors her presence. A statement piece in its own right, yet never competing, only enhancing. Some things, like orchids, make a statement without trying too hard.

Would you go for a statement wedding bouquet like this, or do you lean toward something softer? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments ⬇️💐

From start to finish, Alicia and Steve's wedding felt like a warm hug. Every detail was intentionally chosen to reflect their deep connection to each other and their community of friends and family. Their ceremony was one of the most beautiful I've ever witnessed.

Their college philosophy professor, whose class they met in, officiated the wedding. Steve's best friend led a guided meditation. Family and friends warmed the wedding rings. Alicia's family sang "Consider Me" by Allen Stone and had everyone smiling, laughing, clapping and wiping away tears of joy. It was just really special, and I feel so honored to have played a part in this beautiful day. More wedding days like this, please!
