Love Notes

“If you’re on the fence about the right photographer, book. right. now!”

“I started working with Cass 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 absolute 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 compliments on the engagement shoot alone and the wedding pictures were straight out of a bridal magazine. Cass is not only a master of her craft, but she is probably the most down to earth person I know. Her team is truly an extension of her and everything she stands for as a business owner. I don’t even have the words to describe how grateful we are for the ENTIRE C.Mae team. They certainly did much more than just photograph the day’s events and it is appreciated more than they know.

For those of you that are going into the wedding planning process, I (probably like you) thought

I would meet a slew of vendors who only cared about their bottom line. And to be fair, some did. But this business is NOT one of them – far from it. They care about you in a way that feels authentic, personal, and comforting. Planning a wedding is not an easy feat – especially during a pandemic (can I get an amen for all my fellow brides impacted by COVID!?). Cass was a bright light in a dark place and came to my rescue more than once. My husband and I grew incredibly fond of her – so much so that we decided to head to Maui for our honeymoon so we could meet up and do another shoot. Not gunna lie, I almost cried when we had to say good bye.”

Boudoir Session

“I recently did a boudoir session with Cass and it was amazing! The shoot was mainly for an anniversary present for my husband, but also a little for me. She makes you feel immediately comfortable and relaxed when you’re in such a vulnerable and exposed state, and I had a really great time! I was having some body image issues going into the shoot, but Cass really helps you feel gorgeous. I walked out feeling sexy and confident, like a Victoria’s Secret model, head held high and like I could take on the world. I’d definitely recommend this for any woman! CALL CASS!!”

“I was beyond impressed by Cass during my Boudoir photo shoot. I thought I was not a very confident person but within five minutes of working with Cass, I was posing like I have been doing this for years. She creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere that I think ANYBODY would appreciate. I have felt “not good enough”, so I simply look at these photos and fall in love with my body all over again. It’s amazing how one photograph can help your self-image. C.Mae has an act for not only taking amazing photos, but enriching your soul with self love. I would recommend them to anyone!!”

“I had so much fun and felt so comfortable with Cass and her team! I had never done a boudoir session before and had been working really hard to get fit, so for my 29th birthday I treated myself. Hands down one of the most empowering moments of my life and love looking at the incredible photos! Can’t wait for the next one. Highly, highly recommend!”

Surprise Proposal Session

“My surprise proposal to my now fiance was beautiful, but C.Mae’s photography made it perfect. Cass made it fun from the start and I couldn’t have appreciated it more! She kept herself hidden to get some quality candids and spent the latter half of the moment capturing the laughs and smiles all thanks to her enthusiastic personality. I doubt the proposal could’ve gone any better. Thank you C.Mae!”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about this team!! Cass was incredible in our initial meeting - so thorough, passionate, and flexible - all these things, coupled with their amazing photography, made my choice to book one of the easiest ones I made through the wedding planning process. Cass was there every step of the way, in touch, even down to helping me create a timeline for our day. Our photos are breathtaking, capturing the true emotion and spirit of the day (with such a quick turnaround, which is a huge plus!) I could have not asked for a more creative, supportive, and connected team. Thank you, C.Mae Design — you are first class!!”

Boudoir Session

“Cass is amazing, makes you feel so comfortable, tells you exactly how to pose, not to mention she takes beautiful pictures. If you’ve ever debated about doing this for yourself, just take the leap, I promise you won’t regret it! I literally cried when I saw my photos! Us women are all too often hard on ourselves, this session made me feel beautiful and loving myself for the first time in a long time!”

“Cass & Marcy are kind and thoughtful human beings who will do whatever they can to make your day special.”

“From the first time we talked to Cass on the phone (over 2 years ago) she never forgot about us.”

When we were originally talking about delaying our wedding due to COVID in 2020, Cass talked me through everything I needed to consider from a vendor perspective, and helped me feel comfortable in our decision to postpone. We stayed in touch throughout the entire re-planning process. Marcy was such a joy to take engagement photos with in downtown Lake Geneva. She can make even the oddest of locations look absolutely phenomenal in a picture. Our second photographer on wedding day was right there whenever I need a bobby pin, a veil hold, a laugh, and a friend/family member wrangled. Our wedding pictures are STUNNING. We honeymooned in Hawaii and Cass walked me through the whole safe travel restriction policy. I cannot say enough about this company. They will make you feel comfortable and cared for from day 1.”
