She was super accommodating, had a great recommendation for a makeup artist, and took some amazing photographs while she had us laughing it up. It was very relaxing. I thought I was unphotogenic. But she was really good at posing us. The dramatic backdrops in Mendocino don't hurt either. She told us that she loves shooting elopements and small couples sessions. But she's agreed to take photographs of our family this fall. Her colors are striking. I can write more but her work speaks for itself.

We appreciated her timely communication and after speaking with her, we could sense that she is warm and welcoming. As we were both feeling a bit camera-shy, this was a great comfort to us. After receiving our first photos, we were awestruck at the quality of her work. She was able to achieve such stunning use of light and capture the natural beauty of Mendocino. She gave helpful prompts to guide us during the photo session yet let us be ourselves at the same time. I can't stop looking at the photos she took. They are truly remarkable! If you are considering Cassandra for your photographer, I highly recommend her, both as a gifted photographer and a wonderful person to work with. Thank you for capturing our special day!

Also, I know she must post-edit her images, but it's nothing too over-the top, everything looks very natural. What you don't see in her portfolio is how it is to work with her. She is extremely warm yet professional. For my elopement not only was she able to recommend a wonderful officiant and florist- and picked up the flowers the morning of! she really went above and beyond for her sense of adventure. She was with us the entire action-packed day starting with a walk in the redwoods, a picknick at a winery and even went out on a kayak with us as we free-dove the kelp and explored some other features of the coast. What a great sport! I doubt many photographers would do that, on top of having great skills. I can't thank her enough for helping us our special day, and for capturing it all so well. I look back on our photos nearly daily to remember it.

The magic of the…read moreredwoods, the oceanside cliffs, and the beaches all lured us in, but we had no idea where to start. As we did research, we found Joyce. She was easy to communicate with, highly knowledgable of the area and had all the recommendations we could ask for to help us in choosing all sorts of things: officiants, florists, dining, things to do, etc. She even chatted with me when I was choosing my gown about how it may look in the photos depending on which one I went with. Ultimately, we shared photos of what we loved in Joyce's work, and handed her full creative freedom to lead us where felt right. She was careful to have us as we naturally were, she didn't pose us one time (which made me nervous during the shoot!). In the end, we couldn't be more grateful for the vision she brought to life. Our wedding day was captured so gorgeously; every shot is a love letter to our day -- luminous, timeless, majestic. Here are some quotes from friends who reached out after seeing the photos: "Congratulations! Wow, these pictures are amazing! You look like an ethereal princess" "The photos look like you're in a fairytale!" "Absolutely stunning." Thank you Joyce, for your dedication to your craft.

One moment I'll never forget during our special day is when Emily surprised us with an impromptu church exit/flower petal toss with our guests. I had mentioned the idea to her at the wedding rehearsal the night before but explained it wasn't in our floral budget. She went home that night and handpicked flowers so that we could have that experience. Truly one of our favorite moments of the day and all thanks to Emily! On top of this, a whole year later, she is answering emails and photograph edit requests. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!

She has taken my family photos since I was a little girl. We've always had comfortable and fun sessions -- she makes everyone feel relaxed, including my daughter (which is no small feat ). The photos turn out stunning every time -- natural, beautifully edited, and full of emotion. She has such an eye for capturing little moments you didn't even realize were happening. You can tell she really loves what she does, and it shows in every detail. Whether you're looking for family photos, a special event, or just want to treat yourself to a beautiful shoot, she's your girl. Book her. You won't regret it!!
