06/18/16: On THE MOST beautiful day that you could possibly have during a summer in the south, I met James and his groomsmen at The Sheraton in downtown Raleigh to capture some early morning pictures before our easy walk to Caffé Luna where I met Kim and her bridesmaids. From the handmade jewelry and flowers, to the dress(es), cake(s) and ring box, this couple turned the most common wedding accessories into unique details customized to represent them. Meant to get the initial jitters out, the "first look" triggered tears of joy. They lasted well into the groom's speech where he acknowledged his family from Ghana who were not able to attend. He then proceeded to toast his new bride, which was the sweetest! Thank you for allowing me to capture a most beautiful wedding of a most wonderful couple on a most gorgeous day in North Carolina!

I have seen many wedding pictures throughout the years all of which were beautiful but I have never seen such incredible shots as the ones taken at my daughter's wedding. The camera never stopped clicking, but you didn't know she was there. She took beautiful posed pictures but the candid shots were out of this world. She captured the true Clyde - Landy family and friends and created incredible memories for us. We were lucky to find her. Thank you Cassie

As a bride you tend to each and every detail for your wedding day wanting it to be amazing and memorable. You know your photographer is huge, because they capture the details: the moments you are part of and the moments happening around you that day. You look at several photographer's websites and hope you fine someone who will get the job done. Cassie immediately responded to an interest email (within hours) and we set up a day/time to meet. We loved her professionalism and her laid back nature. We were sold immediately! She communicated throughout the process and kicked it into high gear right before the wedding. As your big day goes on, you are in the middle of things and enjoying every moment as it comes. After the wedding you wait patiently for pictures and then this teaser happens, this amazing blog with a sample of what is to come and you can't wait to get more. And then that envelope comes in the mail...and you run right to your computer...and there is your big day, chronicled for you, precious moment after precious moment. I have looked at my pictures over and over laughing and crying (happy tears) every time. Cassie, I can't thank you enough for capturing one of the best days of my life and giving me the opportunity to continue to enjoy it. You were creative for formal shots and were some kind of ninja to capture all the activity of the day. You captured the LOVE in that room, better than I ever could have anticipated!! THANK YOU!
