I am a portrait photographer based in Roanoke, Virginia. I have always had a passion for capturing special moments, mostly of my family. I have been the designated family photographer for as long as I can remember and have been offering my services professionally since 2021.

Hi I’m Cassie Chisom and I’m the face behind the lens here at C. Chisom Photography. I’m a wife, dog mom, and mommy to the cutest little girl. I’ve always had a passion for photography, but only as a hobby! My husband gifted me a camera a few years ago and I started doing more photos for friends and just fell in love with taking photos! I now am a stay at home mom. My photography allows me to stay at home and it’s been such a blessing! I never imagined I would be able to be a stay at home mom, but here I am! I have a job I love & I’m able to give my little girl the best life!

I highly recommend Cassie! I reached out to her to capture me an my husband's elopement last year. She not only took AMAZING pictures, but she basically planned the entire thing. She turned our day into something truly magical an found the most amazing spot too. She spent hours with us making sure to get every detail in photos, we even drove to multiple locations to get the best pictures possible. I could not reccomend her more for elopements!!!!!! We have our pictures on canvases all over our house. I'll always use Cassie for all our family pictures.

We are Emma and Billy. We own and operate Wedding Photography and Films out of our home base town of Roanoke VA. We travel all across VA and surrounding states to photograph and film weddings for our couples. We shoot in vibrant, true to life color.

From the moment we booked Wedding Photography and Films, their communication was prompt, clear, and thorough. The quality of their work was simply stunning - they captured every special moment with a level of detail that exceeded our expectations. On the day of our wedding, they arrived early and made sure to get every single photo we requested, even wrangling our large family for group shots. We were amazed by their ability to document meaningful moments that we didn't even have planned. We even received a teaser album the very next day. Thanks to Wedding Photography and Films, we have a beautiful collection of images that we will cherish forever.

Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph.

The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

Your wedding day should feel like you, relaxed and joyful, surrounded by the people you love most. It’s about real moments, laughter, happy tears, and the quiet in between times that make the day truly yours. I take a documentary style approach to capture those moments as they happen, so you don’t feel like your day is just a checklist. I step in when needed, like for family formals, but mostly focus on letting you enjoy your day while those candid moments unfold naturally.
