Light, Bright, & Effortlessly Romantic
orange county wedding photographer
When you look at your wedding photos years from now, you don’t just want pretty portraits, you want to relive the emotions, the in-between glances, and the laughter you didn’t even notice in the moment. You want light and bright images that feel effortless and true to you, captured in timeless color and thoughtful detail. My work blends digital and film to create a balance of candids and connection: crisp and blurry, messy and meaningful, all beautifully honest.
Real Emotions and Refined Details
an intentional photographer for
(but not awkward)
As a wedding photographer based in Orange County, it’s my joy to capture the beginning of your marriage, not just the beauty of your wedding day. I work with film and digital photography and offer a calm, guided presence so you can be fully present while I preserve it all.
When you work with me, you’re getting more than timeless photos. You’re getting someone who geeks out with you over thrift finds, romantasy books, D&D adventures, who notices the real stuff, helps you feel at ease, and celebrates your story exactly as it is.
All types of love and nerdiness are welcomed here ♥

I'm Cassy Velazquez
Welcome,
Cassy went above and beyond during the entire process, recommending locations, helping with our wedding day timeline, and ensuring we got amazing photos with our fur baby who is not the most focused client! We are not very comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us feel at ease during it all. The photos she captured are stunning, and we can't thank Cassy enough for leaving us with the most beautiful memories to forever get to look back on!
BEAUTIFUL memories!"

Your wedding day is filled with raw emotions and fleeting connections. I’m here to capture them all with precision and care, creating images that celebrate the uniqueness of your love story.
Cassy exceeded expectations as our wedding photographer.
Cassy was one of the easiest & best decisions we've made for our wedding. I love her photography style and knew it would be a great fit after talking to her. Prior to the wedding we were able to do a mini photoshoot with our pups and was so impressed with how they turned out that I knew our wedding pictures will be amazing. We just had our wedding last month and Cassy was so on top of the schedule that we were able to finish all of my requested photos ahead of time and we were able to enjoy the reception and the rest of the wedding day without worrying about pictures. We were also able to get some sneak peeks within 3 days and of course they were gorgeous. (Cassy is a superwoman!) I only have compliments for Cassy and if you're looking for an amazing photographer. She's the one for you!

Where are you located?
I work as an OC wedding photographer! I do service the Orange County, San Diego, Los Angeles, and IE area. And truthfully, I’ll happily travel wherever your story unfolds.
How do we reserve you for our wedding day?
It’s actually really simple. All it takes is a signed contract and a $1000 retainer, and your date is officially yours. After that, we get to dive into the fun of dreaming and planning together.
Do you take traditional "smile at the camera" photos?
Absolutely! While I adore the candid, in-between moments, I know how meaningful it is to have those classic, smiling-at-the-camera portraits. You’ll have both: timeless posed images and genuine candids that feel alive.
What size weddings do you typically photograph?
I've photographed all sizes of weddings in OC and elsewhere. From quiet, intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, I’ve had the joy of documenting weddings of every size. What matters most isn’t the guest count, it’s that your story and vision take center stage.
How are the photos delivered?
ou’ll receive a beautiful, password-protected online gallery that makes sharing with loved ones easy. You’ll also receive a keepsake USB with all of your high-resolution images, a tangible piece of your day to hold onto.
Do you need a shot list?
I always welcome a short list for family formals as it helps us move smoothly and ensures no one is missed. Beyond that, I prefer to let your day unfold naturally so I can capture it as it truly happens. Shot lists can distract from the authenticity of your photos. Of course, if you have specific ideas or must-have photos, I’d love to hear them.
Do you photograph details?
Of course! The details you’ve chosen are part of your story. I take care to document them thoughtfully so they feel just as meaningful in your gallery as the big moments do.
How many images are delivered?
Every wedding is unique, but you can expect about 65 images per hour of coverage. My priority is quality over quantity. I aim to deliver a gallery that feels full, cohesive, and reflective of your love and personality.
