Casey Hendrickson Photography
Casey is a wedding and boudoir photographer who loves capturing the romantic and joyful sides of couples, both near and far. Casey's career began in 2011 when she decided to take the plunge to pursue her lifelong dream after studying for six years in psychology and medicine. Although she is based in Charlotte NC, she often travels to the DC area and down to Charleston SC, and is always willing to hop a flight over to new places. Her little four-legged partner in crime is her westie Molly, and she can easily be found visiting local vendors to give out cuddles and nose kisses.
