Cassandra is a phenomenal photographer.
We had her capture our engagement on the Mendocino coast line and we couldn’t be more happy with the pictures she took.
Genuinely, the quality of these photos is higher than any of the other work we’ve seen elsewhere.
We knew they would turn out well because she has an extensive portfolio, but it really hits when you see your own photos.
Additionally, Cassandra was a joy to work with. Reliable, always on time, helpful when it came to planning, able to improvise & pivot as needed.
I mis-estimated how much effort it would take for us to get to the engagement site, and she took it all with grace and kept the mood positive, which meant a lot to us.
Anyone would be lucky to have Cassandra capture a special moment!
Cassandra was our photographer for our two-day wedding at Harbor House Inn. We went with her because she was local at Mendocino and her work has a movie and documentary vibe that I liked. We had a couple of meetings before the wedding to go over all the details and plans. She pays close attention to our timelines, guests, and most importantly, what we were hoping to come out of the wedding.
Everything turned out to be great. Cassandra definitely knew her way around the venue as she had worked there a few times already. She took us to a few amazing places for couple shoots. Most of the times she would feel invisible, just capturing all the magical moments which we would giggle every time we look at them.
She is really professional and easy to work with. I would recommend her to all my friends.
It was truly an honor and blessing to find Cassandra from CYoung photography and hire her to be our photographer for our Elopement wedding day. Her artistic approach is unmatched! She is a truly seasoned photographer who made everything so easy for us while she created and captured such magical moments that we now get to cherish in images forever. We got married in Mendocino on the cliffs edge and it was very helpful that Cassandra is also very knowledgeable and familiar with the overall area. She made everything flow seamlessly. She also has a natural quality to make you feel extremely comfortable and at ease which lead to achieving breathtaking photos of our most special day. If I could give her 10 stars out of five, that is my rating! Hire her now and you will be so happy you did! Photography is one of the best investments ever and we were so blessed to have an incredibly beautiful human of depth capturing our precious moments.
Cassandra was lovely to work with for our engagement shoot and wedding day photos in July 2022. Massive benefits to hire a local for our Mendocino wedding: she knew the venue, how to best work with the weather and lighting, and great coastal settings for additional shoots.
She made us comfortable, took the time to understand us and the type of photos we wanted during an engagement shoot a couple weeks before the wedding. She made great suggestions for the wedding day schedule, and did an excellent job corralling our massive family for portraits, capturing candid moments and fun details, and styling beautiful shots of the bride and groom.
She sent a gorgeous set of preview photos a week after the wedding, and the full set of edited images just over 3 months later. Our only regret was not booking her for another hour after sunset to capture more of the candid debauchery!
My daughter was married at The Albion River Inn on 9-29-19. The goal was a small, simple, magical wedding weekend with close family and friends! The venue is a special place and hiring the perfect photographer was a top priority to capture the candid, fun and special moments! And that’s where Cassandra comes in. After looking at her website and talking to her; we knew she was perfect! She explained everything on the phone, answered all our questions, proposed a timeline and sent a contract reiterating what was talked about. She is so experienced and makes you feel relaxed and at ease because she knows what she is doing so you can enjoy the wedding. She knows the Mendocino area so don’t have to worry about her trying to figure out the best place to take photos-she already knows!! Also, there was rain predicted during the ceremony, she remained calm and she said she would make things work no matter what happens! There was a little bit of rain and clouds and it sure made the sky beautiful and added a lot of character to the day!! Thank you, Cassandra, for the beautiful engagement and wedding photos that will bring us back to The Albion River Inn and the Mendocino area every time we look at them!
