Hi I'm Kassandra

 

Firstly, LOVE IS LOVE!!! All Love is welcome with me!

My goal is to create an experience not just stunning imagry. I not only provide you an exceptional service but also a meaningful relationship where my clients really feel the passion I have to help encourage you all to show up authentically and vulnerably with me. I like to create a safe space where your unique love story can be told effortlessly AND beautifully. If you need location suggestions—I’m your location scout. If you need styling advice—I’m your stylist. If you need timeline help—I’m your woman. If you need a pep talk—I’m your hype Queen. I want my clients to feel comfortable enough to ask for advice and lean on me and my expertise. Weddings can be stressful, it is my hope that through your connection with me if you feel any stress around your wedding I can help alleviate some of it and have a rad time while we do!

I never saw Santa Cruz Wedding Photographer in my future. I was supposed to be working in LA on big movie sets… But life has a funny way of giving you exactly what you never asked for and making it even better than you could ever dream of. I feel very lucky to have been raised in Santa Cruz, Ca and now to be based here as a local Santa Cruz wedding photographer.

So here I am—your super chill and really F’in fun wedding photographer.

(Did I also mention humble?! lol)

Wow… Kassandra was above and beyond what we expected a wedding photographer to be. She was extremely professional and gave great tips on how to look our best on our special day, all while being hilarious and keeping us grounded in a pretty stressful day (if I should say so myself). She and Kelsey Currier (our wedding planner) made such a perfect team, and it was pretty much like the Avengers as far as wedding planning teams go. Thank you so much Kassandra, we have all these great photos and memories because of you and your amazing assistant!!

We loved having Kassandra photograph our elopement! A friend referred us to her and we were so happy with the experience. She's so fun and open and we love the photos we got from our day. None of our family was able to attend so we're so happy we have Kassandra's gorgeous photos to share our day with them. Thank you Kassandra!

We hired Kassandra to photograph our wedding. I found Kassandra on a friends IG after she hired her for a family photo session. I knew as I was planning my wedding that she was the one I wanted. Her lighting is dreamy and her ability to capture authentic candids is amazing. She’s a delight to work with, professional and kind. She was prepared and made me feel so relaxed. She thought of all the details and had great ideas.

For those of you reading this considering Kassandra as your wedding photographer... she rocks and here are a few reasons why: -Her personality is hands down the #1 reason we loved working with her. She is someone I laughed with, happy cried with, and really enjoyed just being around her. She is sweet, but also direct and to the point, so she can make sure to capture the moments she needs to capture.

Amazing! Captured the perfect memories and made a life long friend!

I absolutely LOVED working with Kassandra! She was definitely one of the best, if not my favorite, vendor I worked with for my wedding. She captured all the details that made my wedding special to me and love that I have them to look back on since it’s so hard to pay attention to them all on that day.
