LOVE wedding, engagement and couple photography by Cassandra Dieterle Photography

Val and Malu hold a special place in my heart! I photographed Val quite sometime ago before we ever planned on taking on weddings. She was beautiful then and as you can see nothing has changed! Always a great time with old friends! Can't wait till the big day!





Couldn't resist splashing!

We had the honor of traveling back to our home state of Georgia to photograph an old friend and roomie of ours (from Hawaii Pacific University and Georgia Tech) who FINALLY decided to tie the knot!!! Taylor was stunning and Jordan was well...Jordan, always excited and happy to be doing what ever it is at the moment! But he was even more elated on this day and we all know why! The wedding and reception was held at the Chateau Elan, Georgia's only winery.
















It just wouldn't be the same without him doing a back tuck!!! Some things never change!!!



Brooke and Patrick... All Smiles!

Grace and Patrick...not so much! :)

It's almost as if he was saying "this isn't a good idea!!!!" As Brooklyn ever so softly convinced him to keep going, saying "it's ok...it's ok..."




I love the photo above...Brannon asked her oldest son to give her a kiss (in the backgound) and when she did Brooklyn and Bailey couldn't decide if they too should kiss...it was a very sweet moment!

His shoes fell apart!


Sorry Brooks...this is too funny!


Rather than "kiss" to the ringing of the glasses....they enjoyed their beer!

Melissa and Tony's wedding had the feeling of home...I loved it! But my favorite part about the whole thing was the speech the father gave...I know I won't do it justice but I will try because it's a great story and soooo true. He began by talking about how him and his wife did not have lots of money when they were starting a family...and went on to say how even though they didn't his wife tried to make the best of everything...his example was one that was both funny and a great example for anyone...She had been preparing a special dinner for the two of them all day...it was to be an intimate dinner by candle light and they were going to use fine china they had received from their wedding. Only problem was they had no table to eat on...so the wife decided to get creative and use an ironing board with a pretty table cloth on it. Everything was all set and they went to sit down and eat when somehow the ironing board gave way and the food went flying! The point of the story is of all the meals she has ever made that was the most disastrous, they had the least amount of possessions, and yet it was the most memorable and best meal they ever had. Life does not have to be perfect to be great and money does not always make things better...this is so true!!!! Of all our memories together (besides the ones with Brooklyn) most of them involve something funny that did not go to plan! Ironically at the end of the night their getaway car broke down…they left in a cute little jeep…hopefully a memory they won’t forget!

David and I have known Josh for over 10 years now, so we were honored when he called us and asked us to photograph his wedding...then for David to be one of the groomsmen ( I thought this should be interesting...photographing a wedding you are in....) AND for Brooklyn to be their flower girl! So as with all our couples we took them out for a few engagement or get to know you shots to see how they were in front of the camera...lets just say they liked the kissing part- ALOT! They did great and we all had fun doing it...well except Scarlet (the dog) she was not too fond of the water!

What a beautiful couple and totally in love! I can't wait to photograph their babies :) One of my favorite things about this wedding was the bubble wrap poppers- it sounded just like fireworks when the lions came in- it was awesome...I think it would be a great idea for children friendly fireworks on fourth of July...no fire but lot's of noise!!! Thanks for a wonderful time!

Crystal and Ben... What a cute couple! Crystal put a lot of effort into her wedding as did the team at HWC to make it a day everyone would remember.

Natalie and Danny celebrated their wedding at Luana Hills on the windward side of the island. They are so sweet with each other- one of those couples you can look at and say "they are in love." And talk about a romancer... Danny was singing to her as they danced and tears trickled down her cheeks, I even cried! Thank you Natalie and Danny for sharing these special moments with us! So often we see people "hold back" at their reception when we know they have more in them to share, thank you for being yourself!
