Hi, I’m Kassidy
But you can call me Kass
I've always been fascinated with storytelling, journalism, and documentaries. I’ve learned that good story tellers display the human experience in a way that is relatable and emotive, in a way that with not having ever met a person you can feel their story — you smile and don't know why, get goosebumps, maybe even tear up. I believe this is our physical bodies showing us just how badly we want connectedness and community, to share our stories with each other. I’ve fallen in love the ways that being a wedding & elopement photographer has given me the opportunity to help create those memories and experiences for my clients, and share ordinary stories of life changing love.
Behind the photos
I aim to find the balance between being personable & professional on your wedding day — being your friend, helping you stay present and relaxed, while also helping you keep your timeline on track and quickly tackling/directing family photos.
My love & partner in life
This is me and my husband Nathan. Much of my inspiration as a wedding professional comes from our own story and journey as a couple. We love each other a whole lot and our relationship is adventurous and silly and fulfilling and at times confusing and messy — everything that makes life so good. In part, our relationship is why I feel passionately about capturing pivotal season’s of life for couples. It is by looking through my own photos and videos of us that I am often reminded how good life is with him, even when it gets hard. These photos and videos have a way of centering me on gratitude which I believe can be life altering. I hope to play a small part in creating these same sort of heirlooms with my couples.
things that have shaped me
Rock climbing, backpacking, dancing in the kitchen while cooking, eating good pizza, low light & melancholy music, swimming in the ocean, walking barefoot, campfires with friends, star gazing, yoga, and my big crazy family.
To close your eyes and breathe in that mountain air again —
My creativity and work as an artist has always been inspired by nature. Being able to watch a video, close your eyes and breath in the serenity and quiet of that mountain scape, or feel the rush of a cold, ocean wind brush against your skin once again. I believe intentionally made films & images have the power to re-orient us back to what is most important in life — a love where you feel fully known, a sunset that reminds you of the goodness in your own life. I want that for you.
I hope that you are so present during our session that you hear the birds chirping, catch your grandparents laughing in the crowd, and that our time together will be more than posing for pictures, but creating real memories you will one day share with your kids.
MY PHILOSOPHY OF SHOOTING
My goal if to be your photojournalist, to help you pay attention and see the beauty, wonder and Love that is surrounding whatever season of life you find yourself in. I aim to direct softly in movement that is already natural to you and your partner in order to create images that feel like you and this season of life.
MY VALUES
I believe in celebrating Love in every form. The love you share with your partner, the love we get to experience through the Earth and her beauty, and the love you have for your community that surrounds you on your wedding day. I strive to capture each of things simply & honestly just as they are.
