Some days stay with you forever—and this was one of them.
I’ve grown up with the groom and his family, so capturing this day felt like photographing my own brother’s wedding.
The sun was shining, the lake view was perfect, and we all felt his mom’s presence in the most beautiful way. 🩷
Every detail was so thoughtfully chosen, every moment filled with laughter, love, and the happiest of tears. And golden hour… literally pure magic. ✨
Thank you for trusting me to document such a special chapter in your story. Love you two. 🤍

Hey hey! I’ve seen a bunch of new faces around here lately, so I thought I’d introduce myself 👋
I’m Casey—a photographer based in the Reno/Tahoe area, here to capture all your favorite moments (and yes, I’ll absolutely third-wheel your love story 📸).
I’m 31, obsessed with golden light, candid laughs, and making people feel like their best selves in front of the camera.
When I’m not behind the lens, you can find me baking sourdough, tending to my garden, or hanging out with my very full house of animals. Between fostering kittens and raising chicks, I’m currently at 24 animals… totally normal, right? 😅
I live for outdoor adventures and love exploring with my three dogs whenever I can. Thanks for being here—I’m so happy to connect with you all! 🫶🏼
Erin + Ryan…
Where do I even begin? Their wedding day felt like something out of a movie — the kind you want to watch over and over again. From the moment I arrived, there was this buzzing, electric kind of joy in the air, no nerves, just excitement.
We experienced every kind of weather (hail, sideways rain, gusty wind, and then the most glowy golden hour for a boat ride straight out of a fairytale). We hit lots of hiccups, from last minute moving the ceremony inside, to photos with umbrellas… but none of it mattered. The bride and groom’s reaction to everything was, “doesn’t matter, all that matters is we get to marry each other.”
These two are the definition of soulmates. They met and instantly knew — love at first sight kind of magic. The real, beautiful, meant-to-be kind. 💫

a warm summer day, tall green grass, ladybugs everywhere, and the sweetest growing family 🤍 man oh man do I love my job and getting to capture these sweet moments ✨
Maternity sessions will always be one of my favorite things to document, the quiet in-between moments before everything changes.
Before they meet their baby girl, before their world stretches a little wider, before their family grows and becomes something new.
The pause… full of anticipation, love, and so much excitement 🩷
Last year, I stood behind my camera as Viv + Jeff said their “I do’s,” promising forever on a perfect summer day.
I watched two little girls become sisters,
and the four of them become one family.
Now, a year later, I get to witness their love grow even more, another sweet girl on the way,
another chapter unfolding 🩷
Thank you for continuing to choose me,
to trust me with the moments that matter most,
it’s a gift that means more than I could ever put into words 🤍
golden hour light, meadows filled with tall grass swaying in the wind, mountain views, pine trees, and a girl soaking in the moment of her graduation… I’ll never get over how special it is to document senior sessions like this ✨
Golden hour, an engaged couple madly in love, and zero ability to take things seriously 😅
We ran through the woods, tripped over who-knows-what, laughed way too hard, drank wine, watched the sun go down, and ended up with the dreamiest photos. It felt less like a photoshoot and more like just… playing outside with your favorite person.
I can’t wait to capture this wedding, we’ll be laughing and playing our way through the whole day 🤍
Warm golden light, empty beaches, and tall pine trees all around us, one of those evenings that feels like it was made just for them. We laughed, wandered through the woods, watched the sun set behind the mountains as their love story begins a new chapter. 🤍
I am so excited to capture their wedding next month. 🤍
