Caitlin is the BEST! As I was planning a surprise engagement, I found her online and quickly realized how talented she is based on sample pictures. She got back to me very quickly after I messaged, and she worked kindly and patiently with me over the next week to figure out details like location, timing, and even which side to walk on as I came up to the proposal location. Caitlin is very professional and organized - it was super easy to communicate with her in the days and hours leading to the event to make adjustments based on weather. On the day of, Caitlin was hidden so that my fianceé didn't suspect a thing before I dropped down on one knee! She then popped out right on time and captured the moment beautifully. Even though we are both camera-shy, Caitlin made us feel comfortable and guided us through many poses that felt natural in our hour session. She also had a very quick turnaround for the pictures, and we received many more frame-worthy images than expected! She did a phenomenal job... all of our family and friends are still amazed at how well the pictures capture our love and joy. I could not have pulled off such a special engagement without her help, so I would highly recommend Caitlin to anyone.

Caitlin was absolutely amazing! My fiancé and I did engagement photos in the snow in Stowe. Caitlin gave multiple options for locations since we aren’t from the area. She showed up with 2 cameras and even got in the snow to get some super fun shots. The photos came out INCREDIBLE! Caitlin was so fun to work with, made the entire experience comfortable and professional. Will be working with her in the future when we need a photographer!

Caitlin was a fantastic photographer for our Proposal and we'd recommend her to anyone looking to have someone by your side who is passionate about her craft.
My fiancé contacted her to set up a surprise photoshoot and capture our proposal. He found her through Google and saw some photos of past shoots that were captivating and beautiful. She was very communicative throughout the booking process and gave great recommendations for picturesque spots in Stowe as well as things to do/places to eat as we are not VT natives. They set up a plan for where he would get down on one knee and when she should pop out to take the photos.
When he proposed and I said yes, it was the happiest I had ever been, and the photos she captured absolutely showed that! She seemed to make use glow and look so warm and happy, even though it was snowing!! She was an absolutely trooper, taking multiple photos while it snowed and the wind howled. She made us feel so comfortable and let us even have a moment to ourselves to take the moment in and hold each other (which she also captured!) At the end of the shoot she even checked to see if there were any photos we wanted to grab before saying our goodbyes, so if you have any pose in mind, she would definitely capture it!
She told us it might be a few weeks before we saw any pictures but the next day she was able to give us a sneak peek at a couple and we were blown away! We had a great selection of images and a variety of options to choose from. I felt like I was in the moment all over again. Before the end of the week we received our pictures and we couldn't be happier! I couldn't wait to share with everyone just how beautiful they came out.
From the start of our communications to the delivery of our gallery we couldn't be more pleased with her work! She is a very kind and talented photographer, and we have nothing but positive things to say!

I am so thankful to have found Caitlin to photograph our surprise engagement in Stowe. As someone who has never hired a photographer (nor been engaged), Caitlin went above and beyond to create a truly unforgettable moment for us.
Her excellent communication and knowledge of the area was instrumental in preparing the perfect setting. Her easy going personality and humor really helped my fiancé and I who are typically not "picture people" relax and be ourselves which helped create incredibly personal pictures that are uniquely us.
My fiancé can't be happier with the pictures and I couldn't be more pleased with how comfortable and confident Caitlin made me feel in preparing the day. We received a great variety of photos that came out beyond expectation and as an added bonus, very quickly, so we could share with our loved ones immediately.
I highly recommend Caitlin and would have no reservation hiring her expertise again in the future. Thanks again!

I hired Caitlin to take surprise proposal photos of me and my now fiancé. She was truly awesome. I had never been to Stowe, and therefore, I had limited ideas for where I could/should get on one knee. Caitlin walked me through my various options and helped transform my general vision into a reality. She is patient, communicative, has great ideas for poses, quick with her turnaround time, and obviously takes incredible pictures. She also went above and beyond when she provided a comprehensive list of various activities for my fiancé and I to check out during our stay. You can tell that she genuinely cares about her clients’ experience. Ours was an 11 out of 10.

We are so grateful to have found Caitlin on the Knot to capture our big day this fall 2024 in VT. She was so amazing to work with and she saw our vision and captured each and every detail. Not only were our engagement photos absolutely stunning but our wedding photos still bring tears to our eyes. She was so helpful throughout the process with planning and suggesting things to help make our day flow beautifully. She captured everything we could've ever wanted and more. Our wedding photos are simply PERFECTION and STUNNING. She felt like family at our wedding and we would ABSOLUTELY suggest her to everyone and anyone. Her work is amazing, detailed, and she is so professional. She was an essential part of our day and made me feel so special and beautiful as the bride. So amazing her work and her personality. Love loved Caitlin and her work. A MUST have photographer.

Caitlin was absolutely wonderful to work with. My fiancé and I got engaged in stowe July of 2023, but I knew I wanted engagement photos taken during peak leaf season. Fast forward to Oct 2024, she took my long-awaited vision and completely brought it to life. She was very kind and patient with two people who had never had professional photos taken together before. She also was a fantastic communicator, as we had to travel to VT from our current home in MN. I hope to extend our relationship and hire her for our Connecticut wedding as well. The photos are absolutely beautiful, and turned out better than I could have previously imagined. I highly recommend her if you are looking to get pictures done in the Stowe/Vermont area and beyond.

I decided to hire Caitlin last minute to photograph my rehearsal dinner and I’m so glad I did! She was professional, super laid-back, and easy to work with. She captured beautiful photos of us with our guests and made the experience so fun. She sent us the sneak peeks the very next morning, which was such a fun way to start our wedding day. I would highly recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a photographer (for a wedding, event, or anything else) in Vermont!

Absolutely Amazing Experience!
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our engagement photos! From start to finish, the entire experience was professional, fun, and relaxed. Caitlin has such a natural talent for making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the results were beyond what we could have imagined.
The attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture our genuine emotions and personalities in every shot made our session truly special. The final photos are stunning—vibrant, romantic, and full of life. We’ve received so many compliments on them!
If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your special moments last forever, I highly recommend Caitlin.

Caitlin Kelly did our surprise proposal pictures in Stowe, she and the pictures were fantastic! There were a couple of small mishaps that were out of her control and she worked around them beautifully. She was so fun to work with while we were getting our pictures. My fiancé chose her because she was the only person who helped him work out all of the details of the engagement, even the ones that had nothing to do with the photography. We got our entire gallery the next day! We were expecting several weeks. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing photography in Vermont!

We could not recommend Caitlin enough! She was absolutely phenomenal - from the initial conversations through our vendor selection all the way through providing us our wedding pictures. She went above and beyond each and every time! Day of, she was there when we needed and otherwise she in the background blending in. Thanks again so much for capturing such beautiful and meaningful pictures of our wedding, Caitlin!

I’ve never booked a photoshoot before and Caitlin has been most helpful and responsive answering my questions when I first reached out to her. When I told Caitlin that it’ll be a surprise proposal, Caitlin was overjoyed and sent me some samples on where to take the photos at the Von Trapps Family Lodge where we’re staying. On the day of the shoot, Caitlin helped us pose and flow to get the best pictures. During the proposal, she blended into the background and let me do what I had to do. We are the picture-shy types but felt very comfortable working with Caitlin. The turn-around time for our picture gallery was super-fast and we are very happy with the result!

We hired Caitlin and added on her second shooter to photograph our August wedding. Her communication leading up to our date was excellent and she captured the most beautiful wedding photos. She was fun to be around, organized, professional, and kept a great pace on the day. Plus we got our photos delivered SO quickly!

We are so, so happy with our decision to go with Caitlin as our photographer for our wedding. Both my wife and I are so thrilled with how our engagement, wedding, and reception photos came out. Caitlin and her second shooter were both consummate professionals, and more importantly, great humans! We all really vibed right away, and the entire process felt like we were taking photos with folks we’d known for years.
Considering that, it was very easy to follow Caitlin’s lead. She had a ton of great recommendations for locations in the Stowe (Spruce Peak) area and you can tell from her other work that she knows that space intimately. Despite iffy weather, she made the best out of everything and created a beautiful set of photos that we both will cherish forever. The amazing photos of our pup were icing on the cake – we have them all over our house 🙂
If you’re having a special event in the VT area, you should book Caitlin with confidence – we certainly would again!

We were lucky enough to have Caitlin take photos of our wedding, wedding welcome party, and a mini engagement session the day before our wedding . And we can't say enough positive things about Caitlin!
We knew Caitlin would be a great choice for us from the moment we spoke with her on the phone due to her laid back/ go with the flow demeanor. She brought this energy the entire wedding weekend and was calm and collected amongst the chaos of the wedding while executing beautiful photos. Caitlin was extremely friendly and made us feel at ease, which made our photos look that much more effortless.
The quality of Caitlin’s work is simply stunning. Caitlin did such an amazing job capturing all the moments of our wedding. Our friends who could not make it to the wedding all commented on how well she captured the emotions so beautifully. We also loved how she was able to capture the beauty of Vermont as well in our photos which is something that was important to us.
Caitlin got our photos back to us faster then we thought which was a pleasant surprise and you can tell that she spent a lot of care and effort when editing the photos that she shared with us.
We highly recommend Caitlin for any photo needs especially wedding photos!

My fiance and I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Caitlin for our proposal/engagement photos, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the entire experience. Living out of town, the logistics of planning such a momentous occasion from a distance were undoubtedly challenging. Caitlin exceeded our expectations in every way possible. From the initial coordination with my fiancé to the execution on the day, her professionalism was truly exceptional.
One aspect that stood out was Caitlin’s thoughtful location suggestions. Being unfamiliar with the area, my fiancé was pleasantly surprised when she went the extra mile to send him a detailed video of the chosen location. It included insights on where to walk, stop, and capture the big, perfect moments. This level of dedication and attention to detail made the planning process seamless, even from afar.
During the shoot, had a calming and lovely presence that made the entire experience enjoyable. The post-engagement hour was particularly memorable, as she effortlessly blended professionalism with a lighthearted atmosphere. Her ability to let us be ourselves, embracing both the silly and serious moments, created an environment that perfectly encapsulated the essence of our relationship.
We were also amazed at Caitlin’s swift turnaround time. To receive preview shots during our celebratory dinner was a delightful surprise that allowed us to share the joyous moments with our families almost immediately. We received the full gallery in under a week from our proposal!
In summary, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional work of Caitlin. Thank you for turning our surprise engagement into a beautifully captured memory that we will cherish forever. Your talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for your craft shine through, making you a photographer we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking a truly memorable and stress-free experience.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Caitlin capture our October wedding in Vermont. From our initial conversation, it was clear that she was the perfect fit for us. Her passion and dedication was apparent every step of the way.
On the big day, Caitlin seamlessly captured every part of the wedding so that not a single moment was missed. The results are timeless and surpassed our expectations. We are left with a collection that beautifully tells the story of our special day.
Caitlin is not just a skilled professional but also a delightful person to work with. Her creative vision and attention to detail are evident in every shot. We couldn't be happier with the memories she created and captured.
If you're in search of a photographer who not only delivers exceptional work but also adds a special touch to your wedding day, Caitlin is your gal! We highly recommend her services.

Caitlin’s photography is truly ethereal and timeless. We had no idea what we were doing when selecting a wedding photographer, and Caitlin far exceeded our expectations. Caitlin went above and beyond to capture every special moment starting the night before at our welcome party all the way through our ceremony and reception the following day. Caitlin was fantastic to work with and is a master of her craft. Highly recommend!!

If I could give her 10 stars I would. Caitlin did our engagement photos and made my dreams come true. She made us feel so comfortable and was so easy to work with. She got our photos back to us in record time and was extremely responsive throughout the whole process. So professional but so personable and sweet to work with. The photos came out exactly as we wanted and we will definitely use her in the future. Thank you Caitlin!!!

Caitlin is incredible and was absolutely the key to making our wedding as magical as possible. We immediately felt that we were in good hands during our engagement photo shoot and where we might have felt awkward being posed and being in front of a camera, Caitlin really brought the best out in us. She went above and beyond at every turn and even found a second photographer at the 11th hour. Caitlin gave amazing advice on our schedule, tips to keep our dressing room photo-ready, and where to take pictures for the best light… we would have been lost without her. She is so personable and put us at ease. She calmed our nerves and did a perfect job of capturing all the moments we wanted to remember forever, while staying in the background and letting the event play out naturally.

Choosing a photographer for our wedding was the decision we agonized most over getting just right when we started planning. We needed someone who could capture the entire day - the joy, the emotion, the fun - through images, in exactly the way we experienced it. Caitlin far exceeded our expectations. We knew from the first call with her that we were in good hands and didn’t have to worry about anything. Caitlin is extremely professional, easy to communicate with and on top of all of the details. Our wedding hangovers had not even subsided before Caitlin had already sent us a sneak preview of edited images from the day before.
We were nervous about feeling, and therefore looking awkward in our photos, as we had never taken professional pictures. Caitlin immediately felt like a friend and was able to get us to feel and look more natural. In recapping the big day with our friends and family, we have heard several times how much our guests loved our photographer.
I can’t imagine our wedding day without her.
TLDR; Caitlin is amazing.

We could not recommend Caitlin enough!! My husband and I hired her to do our wedding photographs and she made the entire process so relaxing and enjoyable. We haven’t been super comfortable around the camera historically, but we had so much fun taking our pictures with Caitlin and she made us feel like we could be totally ourselves. We did an engagement shoot the week before our wedding with her, and it was the moment we began to feel so ready and excited for the big day because we realized how easy and fun taking photos could be. She was such a positive presence on our wedding day and did such a great job of balancing making sure we got the shots we wanted and also allowing us to do our own thing and not worry about the camera. She honestly just felt like another friend at the wedding and seemed so happy to be celebrating with us. Her photos are absolutely stunning and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding such a wonderful day!

We were so grateful to have had Caitlin as our photographer for our wedding on October 5th 2024 in Stowe VT! Long story short, my now husband hired her originally for the proposal on Mt. Mansfield, where she hid in the woods and surprised me later after he popped the question! Fast forward to our wedding, she did such an amazing job on the proposal photos, we needed her for our wedding! Caitlin has a true eye for photography and goes above and beyond for her clients. She captured every moment in our wedding perfectly. Her style is about being in the moment and capturing the candid moments instead of posed. She adds a personal touch to everything she does and I was so glad she was a part of our day! If you are looking for a photographer for you wedding, look no further and hire Caitlin!

Working with Caitlin is a top notch experience and one of the few that you’ll be sure not to regret when planning your wedding and selecting a photographer. She’s willing to hike mountains, plans timing appropriately with lighting/sun, and will recommend items to bring to ensure the experience is elevated. I won’t divulge her secrets here, but they were thoughtful and made for unforgettable photos. Her experience shined in her timing and ease of navigating stress on our wedding day. Stowe Mountain Resort asked to use her photos of us because they’re that remarkable. To this day people we meet on the mountain or off still comment on how amazing our photos are. Do yourself a favor and book with Caitlin!
