Cass and her team were amazing to work with! From the initial meeting to the finished product Cass made us feel like friends and not just clients. She was responsive and communicative and helped us every step of the way. We had Marcy and Laura as our day of photographers and they were absolutely amazing. They really made the day special for us and got all of the shots we were wanting and more. The pictures turned out perfect and I couldn't be happy that we chose to use C.Mae Design for the best day of our lives.

C.Mae was amazing! We had them as our wedding photographer and before we even got our pictures back I would have recommended them. We had the pleasure of working with Marcy and Jackie on our wedding day and they made everything run smoothly and were so fun to work with. To top it off, the pictures turned out amazing! We unfortunately had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, but Cassie was extremely accommodating in moving our date and responsive. We have absolutely no complainants about working with C.Mae. Highly highly recommend!

We have been lucky enough to work with Cassie and her team since 2014. C.Mae Design did our engagement photos, wedding photos, and 2 family sessions for us. They have always done a fantastic job, from making my husband feel comfortable taking photos (which he hates) to ensuring our wedding day went as smooth as possible. The only photographers my husband says can take his picture are Cassie and her team!
Recently, we were able to get photos done of our family during one of the pop up mini sessions. Its been 2 years since we had photos taken of our little family and I couldnt be more in love

We have been fortunate enough to work with C.Mae for our engagement photos, wedding + now our maternity photos. This time around we had Laura as our photographer and just like C.maes whole team- she was AMAZING- truly AMAZING. She made us feel so comfortable. One thing I genuinely appreciated as a pregnant lady was she was truly looking out for all the details- lift your chin a little or hold your bump a little more defined. All the pregnant mamas out there Im sure can appreciate knowing Laura truly cares about every detail and making you look and feel your most beautiful.

Anyone looking at these reviews because youre on the fence about finding the right photographer, BOOK. RIGHT. NOW! I started working with Cassie two and a half years ago after we booked our wedding venue at The Landing 1841. She came highly recommended by the staff there as not only a killer photographer with a killer team, but also absolutely bomb to work with. And honestly, that turned out to be a total understatement. She went above and beyond and exceeded every expectation that I never even knew I had. Just wow. From a photography standpoint, our pictures were SOUGHT AFTER. We got so many

I cant say enough amazing things about Cassie and the team! From our first meeting with Cassie, we knew this was who we wanted to shot our wedding. We loved her vibe and how much experience that she has in the business. Let me start with the engagement session! Marcy was amazing, she was so kind and made us feel some comfortable. I had planned on wearing a scarf with my outfit, but in the hustle of the morning I forgot it. Lucky, Marcy had one in her car that she so kindly let me use for the photos. We love how the photos turned out! Next, we loved that Cassie helped us plan out the whole day
