I have a knack for making my couples feel comfortable enough to just let go and be themselves. For me, photography is all about capturing connections and authentic moments that happen between loved ones.

Hi, I’m Vivian! I am a nature lover and visual storyteller who focuses on organic moments while highlighting a sense of space and showcasing your beloved communities authentically. I began my photography journey two decades ago, assisting high-end wedding photographers before branching out on my own. What started as a job became my purpose as I fell in love with storytelling through my art. I am incredibly lucky to spend my weekends surrounded by joy, having now captured over 500 weddings from lavish celebrations at luxury hotels to quiet, intimate elopements by the sea. Photography has been my passport to travel the world, connect with so many remarkable people, and play a part in sharing their stories.
I create and perform ceremonies and rituals of all varieties. In the process of getting to know people, from newborns and their families to nearlyweds to actively dying folks, I craft celebrations of life’s meaningful moments, both big and small.
Kassia Lee Photography is all about capturing real moments & raw emotion. The little things that make life so beautiful, from the laughter, the tears, to the smallest details, I’m here to document your story as it naturally unfolds.
