About Haley Cassera Collective
Hi, I’m Haley — founder and principal photographer of Haley Cassera Collective, a Maryland based photography collective specializing in weddings, intimate elopements, surprise proposals, and lifestyle imagery throughout the DMV and beyond. If you’re looking for someone to run you through an assembly line checklist of stiff, predictable poses, we might not be the perfect fit — and that’s entirely by design. I founded Haley Cassera Collective with a different vision: photography that allows you to experience the moments you’re investing in, rather than spend them performing for a camera. My approach lives at the intersection of editorial artistry and documentary-driven storytelling. Thoughtful composition, cinematic imagery, authentic connection, and an appreciation for everything beautifully unscripted. I’m not here to force your celebration into a rigid aesthetic or manufacture moments that don’t feel like you. I’m here to protect your peace just as fiercely as I protect your timeline, creating an experience where you can be fully present while I handle the details behind the scenes. Because the most meaningful images rarely happen when you’re looking directly into a lens trying to appear perfect. They happen in the quiet glances, the spontaneous laughter, the beautiful chaos, and the fleeting seconds you didn’t even realize were being documented. Through Haley Cassera Collective, we offer more than traditional photography. Alongside timeless still imagery, our creative team offers cinematic, behind-the-scenes content creation for couples who want to preserve both the photographs and the movement of their celebration. Beyond weddings and proposals, I bring this same documentary editorial perspective to engagements, branding, and corporate events. Based in Frederick, Maryland, serving MD, DC, VA, WV, PA, and destinations beyond. Travel within 30 miles is included, with additional travel rates for locations outside that radius. My goal is simple: to create an experience that feels effortless, imagery that feels unmistakably yours, and an archive you’ll return to for decades. I look forward to connecting!
Reviews
Haley was great in helping coordinate and secretly set up for engagement pictures! She was very responsive, helped me keep the secret, and was so helpful in choosing places to take pictures after the engagement. I would definitely recommend her!
Haley absolutely crushed it. Could not recommend her more! She was great to work with.
Our experience with Haley was amazing! She was very real and open to what we wanted to do. Extremely friendly and her work was better than we expected. Would 100% recommend!
Haley was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish! Her expertise in surprise proposal was vital to me pulling it off to surprise my now fiancé! She was easy to work with, communicative throughout the process and went the extra mile to make the moment so special and capture it all! Truly helped make our moment one to remember!
Haley was amazing! She was able to help me with my surprise engagement within a week’s notice, was very enthusiastic, and a great person to work with. We had some crazy circumstances that delayed our arrival by over an hour and not once did Haley make us feel rushed! She captured our moment beautifully with both pictures and video, and was an awesome photographer to work with. I would recommend her for anyone’s surprise proposal, she is wonderful!!
Haley was great from the minute I messaged her. Then during the session she made it much fun and her enthusiasm and energy made us feel like we were hanging out with a friend. Made for a fantastic shoot and I can’t recommend her highly enough
She got back to me so quickly and so understanding of my budget.
Haley made my fiance and I feel very comfortable throughout the photoshop. She was engaging and supportive. We had a lot of fun!
We had such a great experience! Haley really connected with us on a personal level—it felt more like spending time with a friend than working with a customer. You can truly tell she loves what she does, and that passion shines through in her work.
Everything about my experience with Rooted In Poppy Photography was amazing. Haley did an unbelievable job of taking the best photos possible of my dog and I. My dog is older and Haley was so gentle and kind with her. Haley was engaging, sociable, and passionate about her work. I am so thankful for the experience, I highly recommend working with Rooted In Poppy Photography!
Hayley was wonderful. She was very responsive when communicating, and did a great job taking my son’s senior pictures. She got the pictures edited and back to us very quickly. We will definitely contact her in the future for our next photography needs.
Haley, was amazing to work with and so easy. She stepped right in, for my daughter’s last minute wedding needs! Came in early and after a few questions got right to setting up. Not only were her photos incredible, her easy to work with personality made it effortless for a stressed out Dad lol! Thank you so much Haley!!!
Haley was warm, professional, and came prepared with great poses that made the session feel natural and relaxed. We received many beautiful photos that captured this special moment. She was communicative throughout the entire process and very flexible with location, giving us the option to do an outdoor shoot or pivot to a cozy in-home session depending on the weather. Highly recommend!
I wish I could add more of the qualities, Hayley went above and beyond for our photos and we are so absolutely amazed by the shots she was able to make! we are grateful for her making everything as stress free as possible!
I hired Hayy to do a group photoshoot to with 13 friends while we dressed up in costumes and acted silly for a birthday celebration (highly recommend doing this by the way). She was super responsive from the beginning and was just as excited as we were for the event! Hayy even brought along fun stuff for us to use in the photos once we told her the vibe we were going for. We had such a blast working with her that we invited her to join us at our next destination! The photos came out so great and she was able to turn them around really quickly. No notes - Hayy is the best!
Haley did a great job. She is smart, skilled and very creative. She created great photos from limited resources. The photos for my website were excellent. I highly recommend her.
Haley was so sweet and easy to talk to! She responded quick and even gave ideas for where the pictures could be taken! She is very professional and definitely delivered for our special day!! She absolutely rocks!! Highly recommend!
Our photography experience was absolutely incredible with Hayy. She was extremely receptive to our vision and made that come through in the outstanding photos she captured. I have already began to distribute her name to some friends and will certainly be using her in the future. Some of the things I truly valued was that she was familiar with my area and found an incredible place to take photos. She was also very transparent in rejecting or accepting ideas depending on if she felt it would impede our vision or support it.
i enjoyed working with Haley, from the way she works and the joy she expresses, you can see that she really loves what she does. She is open minded, and she give suggestions too. she just doesn't follow what the client wants. it's good to see someone enjoying what they do. My maternity photoshoot went well, the results were beyond my expectations. i am glad i did it with her.
