We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Jade! From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable, understood, and completely taken care of. Her energy is so warm, fun, and uplifting, and she brought such a calming presence to our wedding day. It felt like we had a close friend by our side cheering us on, while also capturing every moment so beautifully. Jade has an incredible talent for finding the perfect balance between artistic and authentic. She captured every little detail and every big emotion in a way that felt so true to us. Looking through our photos, we were immediately transported back to each moment, and we could feel all the love and joy of the day all over again! So many of our guests commented on how wonderful she was to be around, and we couldn’t agree more. She blended in seamlessly while also somehow being everywhere at once, making sure no special moment was missed. We feel so grateful to have had Jade document such an important day in our lives. Her work is absolutely stunning, but it’s her kind heart and genuine spirit that make her truly one of a kind. We cannot recommend her enough to any couple looking for a photographer who will not only deliver gorgeous photos but also make the entire experience unforgettable!

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!

Cassie was the nicest and easiest photographer that I’ve ever worked with. She was great with our kids during our family session and amazing with our entire family during our wedding photos. She completely blew us away when our gallery was delivered. We will never use anyone other than Cassie in the future.

Hey there love birds! My name is Lauren, the owner of Lighthaven Photography. My business is named after my grandparents - I’d love to tell you the detailed story behind it one day! I’m an experienced wedding photographer offering soft, timeless & vibrant images that joyfully captures the essence of your whole day!

Outside of wedding, I am a portrait photographer who can grow with you and capture your memories / milestones for years to come!

Lighthaven Photography was phenomenal to work with for our wedding. Lauren was very quick to respond when needed and had great communication throughout the planning process. Their work is captivating, stunning and clean/clear. My wedding was 100% outdoors with no indoor option, and when it rained on our big day, Lauren stayed calm and made the best out of the difficult circumstances. She captured beautiful pictures despite the challenging weather, and was soaked by the end of the night but still seemed unfazed. I cannot say enough great things about Lighthaven Photography and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional photographer.
