  • Serves Essex, MD

For me, photography is about preserving the authentic joy and genuine feelings that make your love story unique. I’m not just a photographer; I’m a storyteller, an artist, and a curator of memories. Your love story deserves to be told in a way that is uniquely yours. I take a personalized approach to each project, working closely with couples to understand their vision and preferences. The result is an individualized experience where every detail is curated to ensure your day is as special and distinctive as your love.

We knee we wanted to hire Jasmine immediately after speaking with her! She has an extremely calming energy that we knew would be reassuring to have on our wedding day. Her entire team was phenomenal to work with. We received compliments from all of our bridal party on how easy the team was to work with. She provided simple poses that made everyone feel comfortable but she also made sure that anything specific we wanted photographed was covered. Receiving all of the short video clips right after the wedding was such a nice touch and had us very excited to get our gallery! The photos all turned out beautifully and we loved having the option of color or black and white. I wanted a focus less on posed photos and more on genuine interactions with our loved ones and all of that truly shines through in her work. We also had Jasmine at our welcome party and highly recommend having her cover that til as it allowed her to meet all of our VIPs prior to the big day. We can’t say enough good things about Jasmine! She is a must hire for your wedding day!

From our very first phone call, Rachel just got it. She was so down-to-earth and easy to talk to—it felt like chatting with a friend I’d known for years. She really listened to what was important to us, especially how much we wanted to capture the real, candid moments with our family and kids. That was a huge priority for us, and she completely nailed it. I felt seen and understood, which made the whole process so much more relaxed and fun. On the day of the wedding, Rachel was a total rockstar. She showed up with the best energy, kept everything moving smoothly, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. Every single shot we hoped for—she got it. And the candids? Literal magic. The best surprise were the polaroids and the sneak peek book she created and shared during the reception – seeing the photos in real time made us so excited for the actual photos. We’ve looked through our gallery a hundred times and still find new favorite moments every time. One of the best decisions we made was adding on her content creator option—it was SO worth it & Jade captured the best moments of the night, set them to music and within a day we had a reel to share with our loved ones. Rachel and her team captured the very best moments that day all while allowing us to have fun and be ourselves. I am also impressed by how quickly everything was delivered – her communication is flawless, and I feel like I blinked, and I was looking at my photos. The turnaround time was so much faster than I expected, and the quality was beyond what I had hoped for. I am forever grateful that Rachel was a part of our wedding day!

If you're looking for a cool, smart, TALENTED photographer, Jenna is your girl.

She offered helpful posing tips and no on ever felt self conscious or awkward. Also sorry this review took me 5 months to write, wedding planning burnout is real y'all. Love you Jenna!

Hi, I’m Haley (most people call me Hayy), founder and Creative Director of Haley Cassera Collective. I believe the best photographs aren’t perfectly posed—they’re the ones that make you feel something years later. My approach is a blend of documentary storytelling and natural guidance, creating space for genuine moments while making you feel completely at ease in front of the camera. I’m there to preserve it genuinely and authentically. My goal is for you to be fully present while I document the moments you’ll never want to forget.

We knew Haley Cassera Collective was the right choice for us the moment we started talking with her. From day one, she brought an upbeat energy that made planning feel exciting rather than stressful. During our wedding, Haley had this amazing ability to capture genuine moments without interrupting the flow of our celebration—she seemed to understand exactly what we wanted and blended in seamlessly with our guests. She picked up on our style right away and delivered photos that felt authentically us. What really stood out was how supportive and fun she was throughout the entire day, making everyone around her feel comfortable and energized. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding.

Kay was an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day. She is everything we needed in a wedding photographer and more. She is friendly, warm, professional, and so much fun! She has a natural ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera (even my incredibly camera shy husband)! Everyone I’ve talked to who attended my wedding had nothing but nice things to say about her. She fit right in with the party and was lovely to everyone. We loved working with her from the moment we met her during our engagement session. She captures such special, natural moments that I will cherish forever. I had heard many brides in the past have nightmare experiences with their photographers and their wedding gallery’s not being delivered in a timely manner. This was absolutely not an issue with Kay, both the engagement gallery and wedding gallery were delivered in 3-4 weeks! We have found a lifelong photographer with Kay and are planning on using her for all of our future life events! Highly recommend Kay for all your photography needs!

She was super professional throughout the entire process, remaining extremely responsive and getting photos to us on time and even earlier than we were promised. In terms of the photos, they’re absolutely beautiful! She knew all the best spots around the tidal basin and we got such a great variety of locations.

My husband I were lucky enough to have Anthony as our photographer with the East Coast Event group. Anthony was with me (the bride) for the morning and he was phenomenal to work with. Very relaxed (at least it seemed haha) and didn't add any stress to the day but gave direction and professional opinion when needed. I have to admit, I didn't have much of a plan when it came to photos but he truly captured everything I wanted and took the best candids that I will cherish forever. He also made a point to ask us several times throughout the night if there was any specific photos that we wanted. Our one wish was to take a lot of staged shots before the ceremony so that we would make it to our cocktail hour and he made that happen, no problem! My husband and I are beyond happy with the photos we received (very quickly after the day) and recommend Anthony to anyone!!

In each wedding, my aim is to craft something different and unique, capturing a set of storytelling moments that reflect the essence of the day. What truly drives me is the moment when my clients receive the picture, and tell me how they love them. Knowing that my work will be forever cherished by others adds a meaningful layer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Villa was absolutely incredible. Her presence, artistic eye, and professionalism were evident from the moment I first reached out to her through the final delivery of our photos. We opted out of engagement photos as my husband really doesn’t enjoy photo shoots, so our wedding day was actually the first time we met her, and she immediately made us feel completely at ease. She scouted beautiful locations and found the perfect lighting. We had a brunch wedding which poses a challenge for a photographer with harsh morning light, but Villa came prepared and used the soft reflections and cloudy skies to capture truly stunning images. Before the wedding day, Villa was exceptionally communicative and quick to respond to any questions. She helped create a photography timeline that ended up being invaluable, especially since we were working with a tight morning schedule for our 10:45 a.m. church ceremony. Admittedly I didn’t fully consider the early timelines when I first decided on a brunch reception. On the day of, Villa and her second photographer were phenomenal. She maintained a calm, peaceful presence and guided photos with a thoughtful, artistic approach. She arrived early, was fully prepared, and remained discreet throughout the ceremony. Her turnaround time was also incredibly impressive in just five weeks! We were blown away by the gallery and will cherish these photos forever. I highly, highly recommend Villa for your wedding.
