I'M NOT REALLY INTO TRADITIONAL, GENERIC PHOTOS.
AND MY GUESS IS THAT YOU AREN'T EITHER.

You are more than just a person in front of a camera. You are an individual with your own unique story, and my job is to help you see that. My photography is about capturing your genuine self, the raw emotions, and the real connections that make you who you are.

I'm toting almost 20 years of experience in wedding, elopement, music and portrait photography. I've spent my career honing my craft, pushing boundaries, and capturing life's raw moments. My journey's taken me from intimate weddings in Plattsburgh, NY on the coast of Lake Champlain, to high-energy music festivals in Nashville, TN and everywhere in between. I've learned to see the world through a different lens one that's natural, unapologetic, and artful.

As Seen on

Who: Cass b - Mom, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Auntie, Photographer, Artist
What: Portrait & Wedding Photography
Where: Adirondacks of Northern New York
When: Est. 2010 - Present

Why: Because for years, I was the one ducking out of photos too. hiding behind the camera, critiquing every angle, and telling myself I’d “do pictures later” when I felt more ready. Then people I loved weren’t in the frame anymore, and those missing photos hurt in a way that went way beyond looks; there was nothing tangible to look back on the way it felt to be with them before they were gone.

That’s why my photography is built around helping uncomfortable humans actually show up in their own story. This isn’t about perfect poses; it’s about documenting a legacy. making it easy to relax in front of the lens so, years from now, your favorite people aren’t left with empty spaces where you should have been. I long to create real heirloom photos and lived‑in images that feel like being loved by the people who matter all over again.

You'll find me splltting my time each year between New York and Kentucky. I work weddings and portraits in the ADKS from late Spring till Winter, and then my ass heads down South to Country Music Highway Route 23 to work with bands & artists in the winter till Early Spring. Sometimes I am on the road traveling on tour, sometimes just working on marketing kits and album covers. You never really know where you'll see my photographs pop up!

Meet CassB: Your Adirondack Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Welcome to Fairytale Dreams Photography! I'm CassB, and I am a dedicated Portrait and Wedding Photographer specializing in capturing authentic love stories across the Adirondacks, Northern New York, and beyond into Burlington, VT. This isn't just a business name; it's the core of my approach—believing every couple and family deserves a gallery that looks and feels like a dream realized.

My journey into professional photography began over almost two decades ago, fueled by a deep passion for genuine storytelling. I believe the best images are often found in the unscripted moments: the joyful chaos of getting ready, the secret glance during the first dance, or the quiet embrace during a family session. My style blends genuine photojournalistic moments with a hint of classic portraiture, giving you a comprehensive collection that is both timeless and deeply personal.

I am proudly based in the Plattsburgh, NY area, perfectly positioned to serve the stunning natural landscapes of the Northeast. This region is not just my service area; it's where I was born and where I find my inspiration. I am intimately familiar with the unique lighting and breathtaking backdrops of local gems—from the secluded trails near Lake Placid that are perfect for elopements, to the vibrant community spots in Burlington, VT ideal for modern engagement sessions. This local knowledge is an invaluable asset, ensuring your session is scheduled for the best light and at a location that truly resonates with you.

Choosing an Adirondack photographer is about more than just checking a vendor box; it’s about finding someone who feels like an old friend and who can capture your story with heart. Whether you are planning an epic Adirondack wedding, a small, cozy elopement, or looking for beautiful, relaxed family portraits, I promise a fun, stress-free experience from the first contact to the final gallery delivery. I guide you through the process, helping with everything from timeline creation to outfit recommendations.
