Marianne Wiest Photography Kalispell Wedding and Family Photographer serving Kalispell, Whitefish, Glacier and the Flathead Val I’m enthralled by the love and emotion of these subjects.
(253)

I’m Mom to three of the cutest kids on the face of God’s green earth and I’m blessed to be married to my best friend. I’m a fourth generation Montanan and I’m in love with this place I call home! From the shores of Flathead Lake to the peaks of Glacier Park, I am continually inspired by my surroundings. Whether you’re local, or just visiting, I’m so excited to share with you some of my favorite s

pots, both for photos and where to grab a bite to eat! (see here )

I’m easy-going, with an eye for detail, a passion for warm, natural, beautiful light; and a love for family and wedding photography. I want to capture the ones you love with all the beauty and personality that you see in them. My goal is to provide you with amazing photos and a great experience. In fact, I believe you can’t have one without the other. I am happy to photograph little kids, large family groups, or grooms that would rather be at the bar than taking photos (that’s right, your man isn’t the only guy who doesn’t like getting his photo taken). All you have to do is bring your cute little selves and I’ll worry about the rest! Taking photos with me will be fun. I promise you’ll be laughing, even if it’s at me! I will direct you and guide you so you look your best in your photos. And yes! I retouch your photos, so don’t worry about that zit that always breaks out on your wedding day or the bruise on your two year old’s head he always manages to get right before family photos. I received my degree in Fine Arts from Montana State University. I have over seven years experience as a professional photographer and ten years of experience working with Photoshop (this really comes in handy when I need to combine smiles from different photos so your 1 year old, 3 year old, and 5 year old are smiling in the same picture). My work has been published on Style Me Pretty, The Knot, Rocky Mountain Bride, Montana Bride, Mountainside Bride and The Huffington Post, to name a few. The Mountains are Calling! So contact me here to schedule a session and I’ll take care of the rest!

Marianne did a great job with our engagement photos in Glacier National Park! She offered lots of advice on outfit selection before the shoot. During the shoot, she made things quick and easy for my fiancé who does not like taking photos. The photographs we received are beautiful and will serve as a wonderful memory of our trip to Montana.⁠

Wildflower Feature: Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja)⁠
⁠
Late June–August in open meadows and alpine slopes throughout Glacier National Park, especially near Logan Pass.⁠
⁠
“Bold and impossible to miss. These fiery red spikes rise above the grass like brushstrokes of sunset against the mountains. Look closer and you’ll see the tiny flowers tucked inside — a wild reminder that even in rugged places, color finds a way.”⁠

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁠⁠
"Marianne just shot our wedding in July. We are beyond thrilled with how everything turned out. Not only is her work stunning, but Marianne and her second shooter were kind, fun, and made us feel very comfortable throughout the day. If you are looking for a photographer with the experience to get you pictures like no other, and also have fun with you while doing it, you’ve found the one! Cannot say enough good things!!⁠"⁠
