It's all about the photos that stand out to you. 
The ones that linger in your mind and takes you right back to that specific moment that the the photo was taken. The ones that can capture a whole day or feeling.

The meaningful ones.


If you had to choose one photo to tell your story....
what would it be? 

This is the question we ask the people we have in front of our cameras; To choose one photo that we took of them and tell us why it is meaningful to them. What photo tells their story, captures their feelings, what photo moves them the most. Seeing the photos that they hold dearest to their hearts has shaped us into the photographers we are today.

We are so grateful to tell these stories.


 
 
 

THIS IS THE FEELING I ALWAYS WANT TO BE REMINDED OF AND ABLE TO COME BACK TO."

"I love this picture because that moment had a really spectacular feeling attached to it. This was right after the ceremony was over. We were married! Those moments were filled with so much anticipation for our future. Picturing our lives together and all we had ahead of us. This is the moment/feeling I always want to be reminded of and be able to come back to."

"I'VE NEVER SEEN MORE LOVE IN PICTURES THAN THE ONES They have SHARED WITH US."

 

"It was hard to pick, but I chose this one because we're surrounded by friends and family and so much love, and in all that's happening, Nathan and I are smiling and looking at each other. Our wedding was a chance to celebrate our love with the people we love the most, including each other. I hope that man looks at me like that for the rest of my life.

When we set out to find a photographer all those months ago, we poured over recommendations, nitpicking portfolios. Everyone was good, but who was going to be great? Who was going to capture the love and joy and not just the bride and groom? Who was going to preserve our perfect day in a way we wanted to remember it? Every single time we asked one of these questions, we answered with Cassie and Michael. And let me tell you, they exceeded every expectation.  And every time I look at any of our pictures, the complete bliss I felt on our wedding night takes over. And that's exactly what we wanted."

"Life threw us a curve ball the day before our wedding, and I mean that almost literally due to the baseball-sized growth that was found in Erick's father. He was admitted to the med, wedding plans changed, and... life just happened. Plan B was a small intimate ceremony in my parent's living room. The lighting was poor, the space was cramped, and you can only do so much to make a bright red room look elegant in the nick of time, but they were unfazed by the sudden changes. Their keen eye for detail and heart-felt moments did not disappoint. They even came all the way to the hospital with us to capture our first dance with my in-laws! Aside from phenomenal photos, their comfort and ease with my family added to the joy of their presence.
We couldn't have hoped for a better wedding photographer and life-long friends <3"

"I choose this photo because it was the first moment in which I knew I had a third daughter! It was incredibly eye opening and magical to have Cassie document the birth of little Lettie Grey, and every time I look at it it makes me feel tingly, eternally grateful, and mushy gushy."

“I picked this photo because it was the very first one where Carter turned around and saw me. He looks so excited and happy to see me, which was exactly what I wanted. It makes me feel happy, loved, and beautiful. All the things a gal wants on her wedding day! It was wonderful. Cassie & Michael are now part of the family, seriously. Our kids are obsessed with her. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are perfect in every way. I can't wait to have the next phases in our lives captured by them.”

"This is beautiful, raw, and full of power. This moment, I realized I was a wife.
This moment, I forgot about all else - the planning, the guests, and everything in between. This moment, I realized it was just my HUSBAND and me.
And I think it was this moment that I realized what all the madness was about: joining together as husband and wife. Simply beautiful, raw, and powerful."

-Caroline Farrar


 
 

Every single time we look at this photo (which is ALL the time because it's our favorite), we cannot help but smile. We are covered in bird seed and absolutely giddy. That feeling of complete happiness and contentment comes back every single time we see this picture.You can see the love and laughter shared on not just our faces but our guests' faces as well. This picture perfectly symbolizes the joy and happiness that we have shared in our relationship so far, especially on that day.

"They DIDN'T FEEL LIKE JUST A PHOTOGRAPHER, They FELT LIKE A FRIEND."

Some of our favorite photos are the ones where Amelia snuck away from the girls' room and joined the boys across the hall. It's pretty overwhelming to get your hair and makeup done when that's not really your thing, and sitting around drinking whiskey with the boys, in a much more relaxed setting really helped center Amelia prior to getting dressed and going downstairs. We love this photo in particular because of the looks on our faces—seeing each other, even if we were shirking tradition by seeing each other before the first look or before the ceremony, was like a breath of fresh air. 

We loved having them as our photographer. Our wedding was during the hottest weekend of the summer, but they weren’t dissuaded and was so good natured throughout the whole wedding. But they didn't just feel like a photographer, they felt like a friend. When Amelia realized she wanted to get out of her heels, they tracked down and then helped Amelia into a pair of Chaco’s.They were helpful, supportive, charming, and professional—we couldn’t have gotten through the day without them."

"SHE KNEW HOW TO MAKE US COMFORTABLE."

"I LOVE this picture because at this point, we were able to finally relax and enjoy ourselves a little! I had just changed into a more comfy dress and mentally and physically just felt 100% and the excitement of just getting married was so real! This picture shows the fun we were finally able to experience and silliness in ourselves!
 

They were the most amazing photographer I've ever had the pleasure of working with! Seriously, they weren’t just a wedding photographer they were a friend! They knew how to bring us to our comfort zone to be able to capture all the amazing pictures that they did! It was so hard choosing one photo from our wedding because they were all literally so amazing! It's been three months and I still have people telling me how my pictures look like they need to be in a magazine! I know they mainly photographs weddings, but I've already said, for future references (maternity, newborn, and family) pictures, they will be who we use! They are amazing!!!! & let's not forget about how fast they got me my pictures back! I wasn't even back from my honeymoon when I saw a sneak peak and flipped out! So thankful for having such an amazing photographer! They were a God sent!"
