let's get to know each other

What is Cassiopia?

Cassiopia is a photography house dedicated to artists and couples alike. Our goal is to creat incredible documentary style portraits that you'll still love in 50 years. Pictures that look and feel true to who you are.

Here's what we're about:

Personalized Photography


We're here to create images that are beautiful, timeless, and genuine. Pictures that capture the authenticity of who you are. Portraits that feel comfortable and natural, and candids that show off every special moment of your day. We're aiming for photography that is perfectly tailored to what you bring to the world as a couple!

Local Artists


We're also here for our artists. A career in art isn't for the faint-of-heart. Our goal as a studio is to help create opportunities for our photographers consistently find work and pursue their passions. Competitive pay and image rights ensure that each of them is able to benefit personally and professionally from the work they do here.

Cultivated Beauty


We believe that art is essential for thriving communities in countless ways. Art is transformational. When you work with Cassiopia you're not only getting beautiful images, you're also helping support local artists who are deeply invested and involved in their communities throughout Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus, and beyond.

Edits and Style


Our editing process is designed to ensure your images look timeless and functional. That means we try to avoid edits that are especially dramatic and/or don't represent colors and skin tones well. There are many names for this kind of edit: but we typically refer to it as a neutral edit.


We do minor retouching (blemishes, cuts/scratches, etc) and more extensive retouching by request.


If you have a preference for a particular look or adjustment don't hesitate to let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

FAQ

How long does it take to receive my Photos?


We understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. Our editing process typically takes 3-5 weeks, depending on our how busy things are. We always try to get them back to you in a timely manner, and if there are any delays we'll communicate throughout the process

Isn't there an "e" in Cassiopia?



Yes. But it's in a weird spot and we decided it catchier and easier to search for if without the "e". Also by "we" we actually mean "Alex" so if you think that's silly: you can take it up with him, but good luck because it's registered with the state.


Your wedding is all about you, your family and dear friends. Be your true self. Show your fun, quirky personality. Do the things that make you happy. Laugh loudly. Kiss slowly. Hug tightly.
