My approach is defined by the Henry Saint-Jean Films signature, a commitment to documenting your day rather than directing it. Supported by the production power of Piximpress company, I blend seamlessly into the background to capture unfiltered, authentic moments as they naturally unfold.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first meeting with Henry at Piximpress, we knew we were in great hands. He took the time to really get to know us as a couple and made us feel completely at ease. Henry walked us through his approach with clarity and care, and his attention to detail in planning our wedding video gave us total confidence leading up to the big day. On the day itself, Henry was a calming, unobtrusive presence—he blended in seamlessly while still managing to capture every heartfelt moment. He worked so smoothly with our other vendors and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran effortlessly. When we received our final videos, we were blown away. The way Henry pieced everything together was nothing short of artful—the pacing, music, emotions, and storytelling were all spot-on. It felt like we were reliving the day, but with even more appreciation for the beauty in the details we may have missed in the moment. Henry’s professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for his craft stood out from start to finish. We feel so lucky to have worked with him and cannot recommend Piximpress enough to anyone looking for a deeply thoughtful, talented videographer.

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!

I met Cassie while searching on Facebook for venue and DJ recommendations. While talking to her, she was the sweetest, most down to earth person and I knew I had to book her immediately! Her prices are unmatched and the professionalism that comes with it is surreal. She is not only my photographer but now one of my close friends. The quality of her work is amazing! Her countless hours editing do not go unnoticed, yet she somehow captures such real and raw features and moments. My entire bridal party fell in love with her personality and have chosen to book her for family portraits in the future!

This venue is not your traditional wedding venue and I love it! It has a lot character but you can really make the space your own when decorating. Great outdoor space and a cozy indoor space.

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Allie for my wedding in April and she was amazing. I got the partial package because I had already started planning before realizing I was in over my head and needed a planner. I would have definitely hired her for the full package if I had known this was going to be the plan from the beginning! I had to make some changes in the schedule she updated everything with ease. She took the stress away from planning and everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding. I would definitely recommend!!!
