Whitefish2026

A bride in a lace gown holding a bouquet of white roses, ringed by six bridesmaids in chocolate-brown dresses who are fixing her hair and train on a grassy lawn before the pines — the girls

A groom in a tan suit dipping and kissing his bride beneath a wooden hexagonal arch dressed with pampas grass, her white-rose bouquet raised high, guests applauding on either side of the aisle, forested mountains behind — I do, I do, I do

A bride and groom seated close together on a wooden swing hung by silver chains, she seen from behind in a white lace gown and long veil with her hand held by his, he facing her in a tan suit with a white floral boutonniere, bright side light glowing through her veil on a timber deck — just the two of us

A bride and groom standing close together in a meadow of purple lupines, her head leaning toward him as they both look at the camera with soft smiles, she in a sleeveless V-neck lace gown with an long intricate train spread across the grass and a sheer veil at the back of her head, he in a tan three-piece suit with a brown tie and a white boutonniere, a tree trunk at the left and evergreens behind — lupine hour

A groom with wavy light-brown hair and a mustache, wearing a white dress shirt with rolled sleeves and a tan buttoned vest, raising both hands to adjust a dark brown tie on a wooden porch, a red-walled building and green grass soft behind him — his morning

A groom in a tan suit seen from behind with his head bowed while several hands rest on his shoulders and back, a woman in a floral dress holding a bouquet of white roses at his left, tall evergreens and a bright sky behind the group — a moment of prayer

the night's end

Columbia Falls2025

A bride and groom kissing behind a wide-brimmed cream hat held up between them in a golden stubble field, a small black-and-white dog sitting in the grass at their left, a dark line of pines and a great red-veined mountain rising behind them with a narrow band of blue sky along the top of the frame — a stolen kiss

A groom in a brown vest and cream shirt smiling down as he takes his bride's hand, her long veil spilling over her lace gown from behind, a golden stubble field and tall pines behind them in soft afternoon light — when he saw her

In black and white, a bride and groom walking hand in hand through sunlit grass, her veil lifting in the wind beside her lace gown — forever home

A bride in lace laughing between two bridesmaids in a mauve and a sage dress beneath the boughs of an old apple tree, wildflower bouquets in their hands, orchard leaves overhead — her girls

The bride spraying champagne in a golden mountain meadow as her friends in pastel raise coupe glasses around her, evergreen forest and a hazy mountain wall rising behind them — the toast

A bride and groom seen from behind, her head resting on his shoulder as his arm holds her close, she in a white lace gown with a buttoned back and a long train spread across dry golden grass, he in a white cowboy hat, tan shirt and brown vest, both facing a hazy mountain peak above a line of pines in low golden light — the first golden hour

A groom in a white cowboy hat and brown vest standing behind his bride, arms wrapped around her waist with her hands resting on his, both in tan hats looking off to the left across a golden stubble field, a small white dog with black patches and a pale pink bow standing at their feet in the lower left, a dark line of pines and a great forested mountainside rising behind them in warm late-afternoon light — sundown

Flathead Lake2025

A bride and groom dancing at night beneath two strings of glowing bulbs, the groom in a blue vest with his jacket off as he spins her, the bride laughing with her eyes closed, guests blurred in the background — after dark

A bride in an off-the-shoulder white gown with her eyes closed rests her hand on the chest of her groom, who leans in to kiss her temple; he wears a grey-blue plaid three-piece suit over a navy vest and tie with a berry boutonniere, and golden light glows through out-of-focus trees behind them — the quiet moments

A single-tier wedding cake in cream icing with piped swags around its sides and pale pink icing flowers across the top, the words Just Married written in white cursive icing, one slice lifted out and resting on a server at the left, peach dahlias and small flowers in glass vases soft behind it on a white cloth — just married

A bride and groom kissing on a wooden outdoor dance floor at twilight, she in a fitted sleeveless white gown and he in a white shirt with a navy vest, dark tie and grey-blue plaid trousers, his hand with a brown-strapped watch resting at her waist, out-of-focus guests standing behind them and a white pointed tent glowing warm with string lights overhead — a kiss for the room

A bride and groom seen from behind walking arm in arm away from the camera across a sunlit green field toward a dense stand of dark evergreens, she in a fitted off-the-shoulder white gown with a long train trailing over the grass and a bouquet of pale pink and white flowers in her left hand, he in a navy suit and brown shoes, the low sun blazing behind them with a warm flare between their shoulders — into the light

The Photographer

04 / The Photographer

Capturing people naturally and authentically.

hello,

I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a photographer based in Kalispell, Montana, where I’m blessed to enjoy the beauty and adventure of the Flathead Valley.

Photography has been a passion of mine since childhood, and after taking a photography class in high school, I was hooked. More than a decade later, photography continues to be a fun creative outlet for me where I can really immerse myself in a beautiful scene; all while capturing a memory in time.

While I love many types of photography, nothing excites me more than connecting with people and capturing them authentically. Take a look around, explore my work, and let’s see if we’re a good fit. I’d love to connect!

"Capturing a memory in time."— Caitlin Lee

05 / Beyond the Wedding

Your Family Photographer

Beyond your big day, I would love to continue to be by your side, capturing your favorite moments even after the wedding — the year you become a family of three, the ordinary Sunday mornings, when you finally say yes to getting that puppy, or when you decide to renew your vows. Wherever your life goes from here, I would be honored to keep photographing it — nothing would make me happier than getting to continue to witness your love grow.
