About

Hi there! I'm Caitee, your down-to-earth wedding day bestie based in northern New Jersey and upstate New York.

Specializing in light and airy photography, I'm passionate about capturing genuine, intimate moments that tell your unique love story. From the Northeast and beyond, I journey with couples to preserve the nostalgia and authenticity of their big day.

As your photographer, building a deep connection and ensuring your comfort are at the heart of my approach. I'm not just behind the lens—I'm here to help you every step of the way, while capturing the essence of your relationship.

Each of my packages includes a certain number of hours of coverage, a lead photographer and a second shooter, standard editing and retouching, a complimentary engagement session, a detailed checklist & timeline building, an online gallery, and printing rights.

Some of my favorite wedding day features include:

  • "Project X"-style dance floor photos (the highest compliment I've ever received from a wedding guest!)
  • Detailed flat lays that highlight your invitation suite and sentimental details
  • Fun film photos, shot on 35mm, medium format, or instant film
  • Special, candid moments throughout the day

Not to mention, comprehensive timeline building, along with a comprehensive questionnaire to consolidate all of your wedding day details: important day-of information, your timeline, portrait details, multiple shot lists, vendor information, and other important information.

  • Woman-owned

Caitee is the best photographer ever!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. I cannot say enough good things about Caitee Smith Photography. Being an out of state bride, finding vendors was difficult -- but I knew from the first phone call and look at her gallery that Caitee was our perfect photographer.

She stayed in touch with us the whole year leading up to our wedding, checking in periodically and taking the time to help me develop our wedding timeline which is what we ended up sharing with all the other vendors. She went far beyond the call of duty, becoming a friend during the planning process who I knew would be there for me and was just a text, call or email away.

Now let's talk about quality of work -- WOW. She is a talented photographer and editor. One of the things I told her was most important to me for my wedding was catching the candid moments of emotion on everyone's faces throughout the event. She did that, and I have photos of pure emotion that I will cherish forever. However, she was able to capture these candid moments without sacrificing the more posed elements of a wedding as well. I sent her over an extensive shot list (I was afraid of missing a picture with someone I love!), and she was able to get EVERY photo--she was so professional about making sure I got what I needed with the people I care about. The fact that I have pictures with the people who mean the most to me is treasured.

Somehow, she was everywhere all at once. I have beautiful photos of me and my husband in the ceremony, but also of all my guests. I have photos of us at our cocktail hour talking with our guests, but also photos of my guests with one another! I don't know how she did it with just herself and one other second shooter, but I missed no element of my wedding.

We took a year planning our wedding, but whether you're planning for a few months or a few years, one thing I don't think anyone ever tells you is about how much of your wedding you don't get to see. When you're in it, you don't get to watch the processional, or see your guests taking their seats at the ceremony. You miss seeing the little details. But Caitee captured every moment, and allowed me to relive each and every element of my wedding. She even got a photo of all the details I worked so hard to plan for, like each and every table number (we used photos of special places to us and included a story about that place) and it was such a happy surprise to me to see that she had captured those all as well!

Not only that, but every photo is beautiful, and there are over 1,000 photos. I am obsessed with all of them. She is an artist and has an incredible eye for the special moments. Her editing is light and airy and when I look back at my photos it is exactly what I wanted. They are beautiful. And so many of our favorite photos are recommendations from Caitee, she just knew what would work well. It's incredible to see what she was able to capture. I feel so lucky to be able to treasure these photos forever.

I am confident in saying there is not another photographer who could have done better than Caitee. She was the absolute perfect person to capture our special day. Thank you, Caitee. For anyone looking for a photographer, you will be over the moon if you pick Caitee -- just like we were!

Caitee is amazing!

Caitee was amazing and I am so happy I chose her to be my wedding photographer! Our plans changed multiple times over the course of a year and each time she was so flexible, ultimately having to make a trip to be able to shoot our wedding. I was very nervous the whole day and I was worried it would show in my pictures, but it doesnt at all. Caitee got the perfect angles and made both my husband and I so comfortable. I am so happy with all of the shots she got, I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and day! She really captured the whole vibe I was going for and I wouldn't have had my "pinterest worthy" wedding without her!

Hiya, I'm Caitee! ☺

And I'm a light and airy, documentary-style wedding photographer! My goal as your wedding photographer is to capture your day as it naturally unfolds. It's also my goal to be your wedding day bestie! Building a connection and a level of comfort with my couples is of the utmost importance to me. Finding common ground with my couples is my favorite way to bond – what do we have in common?! And finally, capturing your connection and your love is my number one priority of the day. I want to bottle up the feelings from your wedding day and make them last forever.

I like to describe myself as down-to-earth and laidback, and I love shooting couples and weddings that can be described the same way. Throw in some dorky personalities, and we'll get along famously!

When I'm not shooting weddings, I have too many hobbies I call my own. Cars, hiking, and the ADKs are my obsessions. I love a good horror or sci-fi (or even better, a horror sci-fi) movie. I'm a Computer Science major, so I'm a big computer and programming nerd. My two cats, Atlas and Gambit, are the loves of my life.

Based in northern New Jersey, usually to be found somewhere between NJ, Saratoga Springs, and the Adirondack Mountains.
