Kassandra Thomsen Photography

I’m a clueless dad of two boys, and the thought of photos was completely overwhelming—but Kassandra made the entire process seamless. She was a rockstar from start to finish, patiently emailing back and forth with outfit and location ideas. My youngest absolutely hates photos, yet Kassandra was kind and patient with him, making the experience stress-free. Even in the cold and windy Santa Cruz weather, she made it work beautifully. I’m so glad we chose her for this!

Kassandra was great and super easy to work with! Her recommendations and guidance helped to make the process smooth and the photos look amazing. Highly recommend her to capture your special moment!

I'll be honest -- I was a bit nervous about organizing my proposal (and the subsequent photo shoot). There were a lot of moving pieces and ideas that I had. Luckily, all my concerns were washed away when I reached out to Kassandra and started working with her. She is a flawless communicator who puts a ton of time into planning, and creating backup plans for all sorts of contingencies. She's super creative and clearly has a ton of experience. She was tremendously professional, and was even able to make me and my fiance look like we knew how to pose. The end product -- the most important part -- was stunning. Kassandra edited over 150 photos that we really loved. We tried to choose our favorite photos, and despite trying to limit ourselves to the ones we absolutely loved, we still ended up having 62 photos in our favorites. It was a pleasure to work with Kassandra, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future!

Hiring Kassandra as our wedding photographer was hands down one of the best decisions we made to ensure our day was perfect! From our beautiful engagement photos to the actual wedding day shots, Kassandra's artistic eye and ability to capture moments in such a candid way blew us away. From the initial call to meeting her in person, she brought exactly the vibe and experience we were looking for. She made us feel at ease and confident in her ability to tell our story through her lens. Kassandra has this amazing talent for capturing those special, fleeting moments that you might otherwise miss, turning them into timeless pieces of art. She made sure to listen carefully to everything we wanted, capturing all the key moments in a seamless and timely manner. Her professionalism and ease made the entire process smooth, and we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. We truly felt like she was just another part of the celebration, blending in while still working her magic. If you're looking for someone who not only knows how to take stunning photos, but who is also incredibly thoughtful and intentional in her approach, Kassandra is your person. We couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about capturing the essence of your day!

We are so glad we hired Kassandra to photograph our small elopement. She helped us figure out how to create an experience that matched what we were hoping for and helped us adapt when the weather wasn’t the best. Her calm energy eased my nerves when we had to adjust our plans and put our families immediately at ease. And of course, her work is beautiful! We’re blown away by how she captured the light and the beauty of the woods with our families and the beach as we exchanged vows. We will cherish these photographs forever - thank you, Kassandra!!
