Ah, Morocco. I've been twice. Cool place.
Anyway, Khaled mentioned Chefchoen. My one piece of advice would be to rearrange your schedule, however you must and go there. It's one of the most picturesque places I've ever been. The town is carved into the side of a mountain and they tinge the ubiquitous whitewash with pink and blue. At sunrise and sunset... bring Kodachrome.
It's a bit of a pain to get to but if you're flying into Casa there's a direct bus so you can tag it onto the end of your trip fairly easily.
Someone else mentioned Essouaira which is my second favorite place for photos. But Chaoen is truly unique. Even if you decide not to go there, Morocco is at its warmest and most accessable in smaller towns. The further away from the cities you get the nicer time you'll have, guaranteed. The touts in cities there are brutal. I would consider trimming your city time to take in some less tourist-heavy spots if possible. (Fez and Marrakesh are must-sees, obviously, but Casa's not as interesting in my opinion.)
Have a great time. I'm jealous.
