  Wonderful to work with!

  We cannot thank Sweetwater enough for giving us Hieu and Cheryl for our wedding day! They were absolutely fantastic. They were so go with the flow, so positive, and so flexible! We are so appreciative of their patience and understanding (the Groom tore his achilles a month before the wedding!) and all of our many family members that they had to wrangle. I really can’t say enough good things about the experience we had with Sweetwater, including all of our planning phone calls and emails with Hieu!

  All I can say is… WOW! Julie and Dutch are THE BEST!

  They made the planning process absolutely seamless and simple. They made us feel so incredibly comfortable on the day of our wedding. And they delivered the most incredible pictures just over 2 weeks after our wedding date.
  
  We received SO many compliments from both friends and family about how amazing Julie / Dutch are and how much fun people had with them on our wedding day! And as we have shared our pictures, we have received even more compliments about how gorgeous their work is!
  
  I cannot say enough great things about Sweetwater Portraits! LOVE them and hope for annother opportunity to work with them again soon!

  Fantastic and fun

  Julie was wonderful to work with! She capture our welcome party perfectly. We wanted photos that would be fun & cozy, and capture friends and family we hadn't see in a while. Her photos showcased emotion and charisma, and Dutch edited them perfectly. I loved the style and can't wait to share them with our friends.

  Amazing on every dimension

  Our wedding photos are simply spectacular! Everyone we've shared them with has remarked how perfectly the Sweetwater team captured the energy of the event. Sweetwater truly went above and beyond, delivering exactly what we hoped for and more. Just a joy to work with and great communicators, too. We can't wait to spend the rest of our lives cherishing these photos.

  Great photographers!

  Julie, Dutch, and their team at Sweetwater were incredible to work with. Julie was always organized, responsive, professional. The weather on our wedding day put a wrench in our previously set photography plans and Julie was quick and calm to come up with a plan B and still delivered beautiful wedding photos. Highly recommend!

  Outstanding

  All I can say is WOW!! We have spent the last hour reliving our wedding day through these photos and are just so unbelievably happy! Julie and Dutch’s ability to capture every moment as it happened is incomparable. Every single photo is breathtakingly beautiful and we truly cannot thank them enough! These two are seriously a dream team and we hit the jackpot with them. They made us feel so comfortable and natural, and we’re truly shocked how many photos were taken that we didn’t even know they were there for! And I will say, the photos with Teddy (our dog) are amazing!! Picking favorites for the album is going to be hard! The biggest thank you to Julie and Dutch from the bottom of our hearts—having these photos for the rest of our lives means the world to us!

  Book them!

  Julie and Dutch and the whole Sweetwater team are incredible!!! They made my husband and I feel so comfortable and supported through the whole wedding planning process, and especially on our wedding day. We loved how easy and relaxed everything felt. We loved that their style was natural and candid focused. We wanted our pictures and film to feel like us and really showcase how the day went. We could not have been happier with how our photos turned out, and not to mention we received our photos within 2 weeks of our wedding!!! Highly recommend working with Sweetwater for all things photography and video!!

  The Perfect Wedding Photographers

  Sweetwater Portraits was amazing! We can't imagine a better way to capture our wedding, and we cannot recommend them enough.
  
  Julie and Dutch were recommended to us by some family members, who had also used Sweetwater to photograph their weddings. We are so glad we asked them to help with our wedding. From the very outset, Julie and Dutch were in tune with our wedding vision. We were a bit nervous about the wedding planning process, but they helped us at every step along the way. They even offered helpful insights into other aspects of our wedding planning when we asked them for help. On the day itself, Julie, Dutch, and their teach seamlessly fit into the festivities and captured the day perfectly. We were amazed when we received our photos, which proved just how great they are!

  Simply the Best

  Julie and Dutch of Sweetwater Portraits were exceptional to work with. Not only were our wedding photos stunning, our engagement photos were amazing as well. From the moment my (now) wife and I met Julie via Zoom, we knew we wanted to work with her and her team for our photos. Both Julie and Dutch are extremely friendly and warm and made us and our guests a feel so comfortable throughout our time with them. I swear that every time our wedding is brought up by our friends and family, our ‘wonderful photographers’ and pictures are mentioned too. While we had ideas of where and what kind of photos we wanted for both our engagement photos and on our wedding day, Julie and Dutch came up with additional amazing shots that we’ll treasure forever. We very highly recommend Sweetwater Portraits for all your professional photos.

  The Perfect Photographer Experience

  Sweetwater and Julie really were the perfect photographer experience for us and worth every penny. The photos turned out even better than expected and Julie really helped to make our special day absolutely perfect. Nothing felt forced or super posed, everything was natural and beautiful and captured us perfectly. We had a very unique and minimal wedding experience and Julie ran with our plan seamlessly and helped to ensure it went off with our a hitch. We could not recommend them more!

  Look no further! Sweetwater is amazing.

  Let me just start by saying Julie is the most calming, comforting person to be around on your wedding day. If that alone doesn’t convince you to hire Sweetwater, then just keep reading!
  
  While searching for wedding photographers, we had a couple of important things in mind. 1- My husband & I are not particularly comfortable in front of the camera. We wanted to make sure we hired photographers that could really highlight the candid moments of the day. Natural, happy photos without much posing. 2- We didn’t want the photos to look over white-washed or edited, we wanted them to look like amazing natural photos. Sweetwater absolutely NAILED both of those details.
  
  I warned Julie before our wedding day that it really is not easy to get my husband to stay still long or to pose for photos. She & her husband, Dutch, had no problem at all with that. They captured the most stunning photos of our day & made it absolutely painless. Our portrait sessions were natural & organic. Our family photos were quick & easy. They ended up being the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen in my life. We have had so many people reaching out saying that they couldn’t believe how stunning our photos came out. (Not kidding, people I haven’t spoken to in 10+ years reached out to let us know that the photos were some of the best they’ve ever seen)
  
  Julie & Dutch listened to our vision & asks for the day & made sure to address & deliver on each & every one. Julie & Dutch are so amazing to be around & were truly a breathe of fresh air on our wedding day. I’m so thrilled we hired them & I already am making excuses to get photos taken again in the future. It was such a highlight of our day & I could not be more thankful.
  
  Julie & Dutch, we adore you both. Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully. We could not recommend you more!

  Easiest Choice You Can Make During Wedding Planning!

  Julie and Dutch we're incredible, we can't put into words how much we'd recommend them! They put us completely at ease, we’re so on top of every detail, and made it fun! They have such a relaxed, confident demeanor that they blended right into the day. We never like having our pictures taken , but we genuinely enjoyed every minute of it with Julie and Dutch. Even our friends and family are still telling us how great they thought our photographers were. And the pictures are incredible! They capture the day exactly as we remembered it and showed us things we didn’t know, especially how happy everyone looked. They look and feel authentic and almost like documentary style shots. You'll be glad you hired them for your wedding.

  Amazing Wedding Photography

  Working with Sweetwater Portraits was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Julie and Dutch were so wonderful throughout the entire planning process, helping us capture every moment of our wedding perfectly. They are equally kind and talented, and provided a calming presence on what can be a very hectic day. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the way our photos turned out and couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience.

  Dream Photographers - Best in the Biz!

  We are SO grateful to have been lucky enough to work with Julie and Dutch for our wedding!!! Having already been completely captivated by their photos/online portfolios I was thrilled to have been even more assured after my initial call with Julie. She was SO kind, informative and I really loved working with her from start to finish. We had every bit of confidence in Sweetwater's expertise and talent and were still blown away by how amazing our photos turned out. They captured the joy of the day in a way I truly didn't know was possible. We absolutely had the very best talent at our sides and also had so much FUN shooting with them! Their energy was so calm, reassuring and comfortable and it was truly just such a pleasure working with them. If you are lucky enough to find that Sweetwater is available for your special day, do not give it a second thought!

Having already been completely captivated by their photos/online portfolios I was thrilled to have been even more assured after my initial call with Julie. She was SO kind, informative and I really loved working with her from start to finish. We had every bit of confidence in Sweetwater's expertise and talent and were still blown away by how amazing our photos turned out. They captured the joy of the day in a way I truly didn't know was possible. We absolutely had the very best talent at our sides and also had so much FUN shooting with them! Their energy was so calm, reassuring and comfortable and it was truly just such a pleasure working with them. If you are lucky enough to find that Sweetwater is available for your special day, do not give it a second thought!

  They’re Pros Who Make You Feel Beautiful

  All I can say is wow. Just wow. As many brides can attest, planning a wedding makes you realize that you have opinions on things that you never thought you’d have an opinion on. For me, that was wedding photos. There are a lot of photographers who produce highly stylized - and to be clear, very beautiful - photos. Some give off a dark, glamorous vibe; and others use a sort of tan/whitewashing filter. While I really like those looks, for my wedding, I wanted a photographer whose photos looked less stylized, and more like really good quality, truer-to-life pictures. When I saw Sweetwater’s pics, I knew I’d found my photographer…and that was reaffirmed after I chatted with Dutch, and after he helped my husband and me make decisions about where to take photos, what we wanted to capture, etc.
  
  On the day of the wedding, Dutch and his team were AWESOME. They were organized, attentive, and kept everyone on track. They were also so fun to work with, and they more than played along with the very goofy sense of humor that my husband and I have. Everyone in my wedding party was talking about them, saying how great they were, and for good reason. They killed it.
  
  As for the photos themselves, I’ve gotten so many compliments since posting them. As self-conscious as I am, they made me feel so beautiful, and I cannot recommend booking them enough.
  
  Dutch and his team at Sweetwater are true professionals who know what they’re doing and know how to herd tough wedding parties with a firm, yet warm approach. I’m so, SO glad we hired them for our wedding day.

  Beautiful photos

  We used Sweetwater for our wedding ceremony in May and our reception in October. Dutch and Hieu did our ceremony together and Hieu shot our reception. Our ceremony photos came out so beautifully, and I know our reception pictures will be the same. They both have such a wonderful, optimistic and calming presence which is so helpful on these big days when so many things can go wrong. I really had a wonderful experience.

  I first met Julie when I had been a bridesmaid at my now Maid of Honor's wedding at the Union League back in 2014. I absolutely loved Julie's sweet and calming demeanor, and the photographs from my best friend's wedding were stunning. When Julie and Dutch were available for my recent October wedding, I was ecstatic and knew right away that they would do an amazing job. They didn't disappoint! Both Julie and Dutch worked so well with all members of our wedding party and guests, and our photo gallery is absolutely phenomenal. We've been receiving so many compliments on the sweet moments captured and the quality of the pictures. They are truly masters of their craft and love their work -- it's reflected in the end-product. We absolutely loved working with them and couldn't provide a higher recommendation.

  Fantastic Photographers!!!

  My husband and I loved working with Julie and Sweetwater! Julie knows all the best places for a wedding shoot in center city Philadelphia. She made us feel at home in front of the camera and worked with us to create a special intimate event for a Father's Day wedding. Julie is quick to respond to questions and a very clear communicator. We highly recommend Sweetwater!!

  best of the best!

  Sweetwater is as top notch as they come, really the best of the best! Choosing the right photographer was a job in itself but we couldn’t be happier with how Julie and Dutch treated us from the initial consultation to the end result. There really is a big difference in a high quality photography team and average and that was immediately evident with Sweetwater. Julie and Dutch were friendly, personable, professional and extremely knowledgeable. It’s clear they have been doing this for a long time. They gave us guidance throughout our entire wedding day, treated us like king and queen, and took every shot we had hoped for. They really made us feel like our wedding was one of a kind. Constantly posing for different pictures can get long and awkward, especially if you’ve never done it before, but Julie and Dutch led the way perfectly. And most importantly, of course, their finished product was amazing! Afterwards, they delivered prints to us in a convenient, easily viewable and timely manner. They don’t just dump thousands of pictures on you, they take their time to choose and edit them carefully and proficiently. We can’t wait for the final album! For a day that would create a lifetime of memories, we are so glad to have chosen Julie and Dutch to capture it for us.

  Outstanding

  We cannot recommend Sweetwater Portraits enough! From the start, we knew we chose the perfect photographer. During our engagement photos, we were immediately grateful for Julie’s calm energy and attention to detail. So, we couldn’t wait to have both Julie and Dutch for the wedding day! Not only did Julie and Dutch produce beautiful photos, but they both were so wonderful to work with. They made our bridal party and us feel so at ease the day of the wedding, and were unfazed by the 9 flower girls and ring bearers under the age of 9! Aside from their amazing energy the day of, they were able to capture every moment perfectly! Julie and Dutch are true professionals, and there is no doubt, Sweetwater Portraits is the best of the best.

  Worth every photo.

  Julie and Dutch honestly may have been one of our favorite parts of wedding planning.
  
  We had that “instant friends” chemistry at our friends wedding and we knew they had to be on our team!
  They allowed us to feel comfortable and at ease with our day of plans so we could enjoy every moment of our big day. More so, they easily became a part of the family and we could feel that they genuinely enjoyed taking our photos and shared the joy that we had that day.
  
  Icing on the cake of course is the magic that results any time either one of them has a camera in hand.
  
  Best decision ever.
