    Highly Recommend!

    Julie was hands down one of the best decisions we made in our wedding weekend! She was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. She listened to what we wanted, asked what we needed, and was able to capture all the candid moments. Julie was present and direct when needed (when we had a lot of people and on a tight schedule) but then also was able to seamlessly blend into the background to where we didn't even notice she was there! She took the most beautiful photos AND provided the proofs extremely fast! Highly, highly recommend!

    Wonderful Photography

    Julie is a wonderful photographer! We would use her services again in a heartbeat. She was responsive and her recommendations for photographs helped us to get amazing shots. We couldn’t be happier with everything came out. Even the photographs of the guests are beautiful! Thank you Julie!

    Kind, professional, and genuine person.

    Julie was a genuinely good person who is incredibly good at her job. Picking a photographer that you "vibe" with on your wedding day is SO important - you spend HOURS with this person. She was kind, easy to get along with but not too overbearing. She was flexible with our group photo list and made our couples photos feel relaxed and fun. HIGHLY recommend for anyone getting married in the Kennebunkport, ME area!

    Couldn't ask for a better photographer!

    Julie is absolutely fantastic. She captures beautiful candids in addition to the major moments. She's also an amazing human being and a joy to have around on your wedding day. We LOVED her! Oh, and she turned our photos around in a matter of days... amazing... couldn't recommend her more!

    Obsessed!!

    We are so glad that we found Julie! She shot our wedding at Kingsley Pines last weekend. Julie stuck with us through our COVID postponement , and was professional, personable, and communicative. On the day of of our wedding, she made two awkward people feel at ease. She gave direction, was organized, and flexible. The quality of her work is incredible! She captured everything perfectly--our friends, families, the decor, the waterfront, the cabins, the dance floor, the ceremony, etc. We can't recommend her enough. We already have our photos back and edited not even a full week later (and we can't stop looking at them).

    Wonderful, we would recommend Julie to any couple!

    Julie was communicative right from the beginning and helped put me at ease for the whole wedding planning process. She responded quickly to emails and when we met in person to review the formal pictures list and day of timeline she was punctual, kind, cheerful and overall a wonderful person to work with. Day of the wedding she captured so many amazing pictures and edited them so quickly! We were able to order our Thank you Cards so quickly because of that. I would definitely recommend Julie to anyone who is looking for a great photographer!

    Julie is amazing!

    Julie was absolutely our favorite and best vendor to work with. First, her photography speaks for itself: bright colors, unique viewpoints, and capturing natural moments- all things we really wanted photographed at our wedding! At our engagement shoot she put us at ease, and even suggested some spots in Portland we didn't know about which resulted in some of our most favorite photos! Leading up to our wedding, she was organized, responsive, and responsible: she emailed me a month ahead of time to establish our timeline and "must have shots". She was also flexible in capturing a few getting-ready moments as well :) The photos came out so amazing- I can't stop looking at them! I would recommend Julie to anyone in a heartbeat.

    Julie is the best!

    We initially met Julie when she photographed our engagement and instantly fell in love with her style. We immediately booked her for our engagement photos and August 2022 wedding and could not be more pleased. Julie brings an energy to your special day that makes you feel at ease and so comfortable on a stressful day. She is extremely responsive, professional, and just an overall joy to work with. Julie had our photos back to us within days and they exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend booking Julie and can't wait to use her again.

    Julie is professional, extremely talented, fast, and lovely to work with

    We hired Julie for our engagement and wedding photos, an d she was absolutely incredible! First, she is an absolute delight to work with. She is friendly and down-to-earth and also cool as hell. She put us at ease and we felt very comfortable being photographed by her. She has an incredibly fast turnaround for photo edits, with engagement photos back THE NEXT DAY and almost 900 wedding photos back within a week. Our guests all adored her, and she was never in the way during the reception. Her photos are seriously stunning and bring out the natural beauty and joy in each subject- we all looked radiant! People who normally hate themselves in photos were reaching out to me to see how amazing they are. She does some of the staged photos that are typical, and those are great, but she truly shines in finding and capturing the candid, poignant, and funny moments that really bring the photos to life. The colors are beautiful and vibrant works of art. I seriously can't gush about Julie enough, and will probably have to find more excuses for her to photograph us in the future :) Seriously, our highest recommendation for Julie!

    Easy to work with and stunning photos

    Julie photographed a friend's wedding that I was in and I didn't hesitate to hire her to capture my wedding in May. She has a very calm presence and puts you at ease right away. She has a perfect way of sitting back and capturing what is happening while also giving direction for photography. My husband and I are not people who take a lot of pictures, so we weren't quite sure what to do a lot of the time. Julie would quietly guide us with sort of a "trust me!" look on her face. All of the shots that she gave us direction on are easily our favorites of the bunch! Julie also took beautiful photos of everything happening all day and looking through them allows us to relive the day over and over. We had a beautiful day filled with so much joy and we cannot thank Julie enough for capturing that joy in photos.

    Julie is amazing!

    I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Julie is such an incredible person and photographer. My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera/being center of attention but Julie made us feel relaxed and actually enjoy the experience. She captured the moments beautifully. I wish we had another exciting event coming up so we could work with her again!

    Amazing photographer!

    Julie was amazing to work with! Always responsive, full of great ideas, and able to capture beautiful shots. She not only traveled far for our wedding, but made both my husband and I feel really comfortable on our wedding day. She got gorgeous shots of details, portraits, group shots, and candids. You can tell she has a lot of experience as she got all the important shots I could have every wanted! Lastly, you can tell she is a true artist. She uses color, light, and angles all to her advantage which makes for gorgeous and unique photos. Highly recommend!

    Amazing Experience, Stunning Photos!

    We had the BEST experience with Julie! We had originally planned our wedding for summer 2020, but due to covid-19, our plans changed and for a while we didn't know when/where/what we were going to do. Julie was so flexible and understanding throughout all the uncertainty, and we are so so so happy that we finally had our day and Julie was there to document such a sweet celebration after such a long wait! Julie made our photos so much fun, and we all felt so comfortable with her there. It was such a joy to relive the day when Julie sent us the stunningly beautiful photographs. We cannot recommend Julie enough!

    Wonderful Relaxed Engagement Shoot!

    My fiancee and I are getting married in Vermont next year but really wanted to have our engagement photos taken in Maine this fall and wanted to have one photographer for both occasions. Julie responded to us right away. She was friendly, professional, flexible, responsive, and reassuring as we worked out scheduling and traveling safely during COVID. We ended up with a beautiful day for our shoot and, though we were nervous to be in front of the camera, Julie eased us in and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. She was game to figure out a couple of special shots we wanted and then had plenty of great ideas to fill in the rest of our time. She got our pictures back to us so quickly, and they are wonderful! We're so excited to have her with us on our wedding day next year!

    Julie makes taking photos fun!

    We were incredibly impressed by Julie from start to finish. After reading through many reviews we scheduled a phone call to meet each other as we were not local. Her honesty was one of the things I truly appreciated we had just begun the wedding planning process and had already given a few deposits so I asked if I could wait a month before signing our contract and providing our deposit. Julie said yes and that she would let us know if anyone else inquired about our date. A few weeks went by and Julie reached out saying another bride had asked about our day, I knew it was time to move forward.
    Fast forward to the wedding day, Julie arrived on time with no issues getting herself to the island we were getting married on. We finally met each other in person and I could just tell we were the perfect fit. Having pictures taken can be stressful and uncomfortable at times but we did not feel any of these emotions with Julie we were laughing and just having a really good time. We also had numerous friends and family comment on how great she was!
    I had heard many horror stories about the length of time couples had waited to get their photos back because of this I was ready to wait weeks knowing full well that the photos would be worth the wait. Much to my surprise just 4 DAYS after our wedding we received a link with every photo available at our fingertips. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. Thanks Julie!

    Photos were one of my number one important things for my wedding and working with Julie was AMAZING! She made us feel so comfortable while staying behind the scenes, I forgot she was there for some of the night. The turnaround was SO quick and our photos are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I can't stop looking at them. My guests keep telling me they can't believe how many guest photos she captured. She got EVERYTHING. Her style just lets you relive the emotions and excitement of the day. 10000% recommend her any day.

    Would DEFINITELY hire Julie again!

    I couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer! Julie was so easy to work with, and she has such an incredible eye for shots. We were able to photograph everything we wanted in just 7 hours, which I really appreciated, and we even got to enjoy half of cocktail hour! I can't recommend her enough.

    Fantastic Photographer

    I am so happy that we hired Julie for our wedding! She was so easy to work with in the planning process and accommodated our wedding being re-scheduled multiple times due to the pandemic. She made us feel comfortable, took all the pictures on the list we wanted, and captured beautiful candid moments. I couldn't be happier with the results!

    Amazing photos

    Literally blown away with the quality of the pictures and the moments she was able to capture! I can look through and literally relive the entire day! From getting ready, to having mimosas with my bridesmaids in our robes, my parents reading the card I wrote them and crying lol, then our entire beach wedding photos were great! She did an amazing job with our family photos but also got some really cool fun ones with our wedding party cheering in the background as we shared a kiss. That one is my absolute favorite. At the reception, again I can relive all the moments, including my uncle's family tradition of finger swiping the back of the cake! She went through and found all of these either fun or intimate interactions between my guests and got photos of that. I am actually sending personal pictures to each couple of them at the wedding with my thankyou cards, they are that good! Julie is a very fun and easy to talk to photographer. Even though this was a destination wedding at a beach that's three hours away from us, I would actually consider having her do my maternity photos down the road! Impressive work. Thank you so much Julie for these beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!

    Kindness and flexibility (plus a lot of talent) - a winning combo!

    Julie is wonderful! Because of Covid-19, we had to move our reception to next year and to downsize our 2020 ceremony and Julie was very accomodating. She offered us several options, such as a reasonable "elopement-style" package to fit our shorter ceremony's needs or the option of using the engagement shoot time we had already paid for for this abbreviated ceremony. Seriously, so kind! She made what could have been a stressful time so easy and friendly. She clearly LOVES what she does and loves working with the couples she photographs.

    Not only are her photos magical and effortless, she made my now husband and I (we are very awkward and shy in front of a camera) super comfortable on the day of and we hadn't even met her in person before. A true feat! She was warm, fun to talk to, and very professional while we tried to keep our August 2020 ceremony as covid-safe as possible. Looking at the photos from the day, I'm so impressed that she captured the joy and flow of our very traditional and socially distant church ceremony... Even though there was a lot of mask wearing and not many people there; I can hardly even tell because of her good eye and instincts - every shot is so beautifully done. We are just so pleased!
    I look forward to seeing her again in 2021 for our reception!

    Quality and Quantity

    Julie was incredibly professional and responded to all of my inquiries and questions in a timely manner. She took so many beautiful photos. In general, she was so lovely to have around doing a very important job. As the bride, I missed so much of all the details and Julie did a wonderful job of capturing it all.

    Amazing Photographer

    Julie and her assistant photographer were absolutely wonderful! They were both so professional and helped the day run very smoothly. I had a huge wedding party and Julie was easily able to organize us all with a kind and positive attitude. I was looking for bright colorful photos and Julie certainly delivered. She turned our photos around in under a week! It was just so nice to relive the day so close to our actual wedding. I would highly recommend Julie for any and all of your photo needs!

    Highly Recommend

    We hired Julie for our intimate wedding at a "camp" by a lake in Maine. Ahead of the wedding, she was communicative, organized, and timely. She arrived at the wedding on time and got right to work on photographing the scene (while we were running a bit behind schedule.) Once we were taking couple photos she made it really easy for us, setting us up to act naturally as she got her shots. Throughout the wedding she was engaged and seemed genuinely happy to be there with us. Since we had such a tiny wedding it was really nice to have her feel like she was enjoying being there too. She made she we got all the shots we wanted. And after, she got us the photos within 2 DAYS! They were beautiful and we were very happy. I highly recommend her.

    Amazing!!!

    Julie was patient outgoing and so helpful. We are horrible with posing and taking pictures. She was very knowledgeable and knew what best lighting would work and where to go around the park. She was also really fast with editing and keeping in touch to get the pictures back. Loved her!!!

    Stop looking. Julie is the One!!

    You have found the most talented and kind photographer on earth! Stop your search and say yes—she is the one!! My wife and I were so lucky that we snagged Julie to photograph our wedding. All our guests commented on two things: she was so nice, they never saw her taking photos, and the photos turned out SO INCREDIBLE. She has a style and maybe you think it’s not for you but I am telling you as a friend (well, a friend from the depths of the internet): don’t be an idiot. You are going to look astonishingly good in her photos and they will be beautiful and *elevated* and romantic without being cheesy in the least. You will get them fast and they will be incredible and you will sit there awash in blissful memories. Best of all, you won’t be standing at the altar with your not-Julie-photographer all up in your vow-zone thinking, why, why didn’t I listen to that one review????? I’m just thinking of you.
