Trust this woman with your photos, you won't regret it!

Joelle is by far THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER YOU WILL EVER MEET! Not only is she kind, professional and easy to be around, her photos are the most beautiful works of art! She did our engagement photos and flew to Colorado for us, did two days of sessions, and was up for anything! I mean anything..she literally hiked a glacier with my husband and I to capture our hiking style flawlessly!

Finding someone you can trust to capture your wedding photos can be a nerve wracking decisions but with Joelle, you have NOTHING to worry about! She was so creative and never made me feel awkward. Every time I stepped in front of her camera, both my husband I felt comfortable and beautiful! I will be forever grateful to Joelle and I cannot wait to see the magic she created

My husband and I 100% recommend Joelle Julian Photography! ...Why? 1. Joelle made sure to call me (the bride) before we even signed on to make sure that the services she had to offer would fit with what we were envisioning for our Big Day. Once we decided that she was a good fit for us, the contract part was super duper easy (Plus - Her pricing is very affordable... especially for everything you get!). 2. She sent me a whole Joelle Julian Photography magazine/booklet on tips and tricks for the Engagement Photos, getting ready for the Big Day, Wedding Photos, etc. I've never heard of anyone doing that - So Cool!! 3. She's so free-spirited and fun to be around. Engagement Photos were a blast and we didn't even feel like we were at a photo shoot... we were just being ourselves and every photo turned out WONDERFUL :D 4. You only get married once, so how is one supposed to know good scheduling if you've never done this wedding thing before? About a month or so before the wedding, (since she's photographed like a million weddings) she helped me put together a well-thought-through schedule for the Wedding Day, and that relieved so much stress! 5. In a nutshell - the actual wedding day was FLAWLESS, and Joelle (and her 2nd Photographer - included in our contract!) captured every moment perfectly. She knew exactly what she was doing, stayed on schedule and made sure to capture not just the posed shots, but the small moments going on around us throughout the day. 6. Okay... I know this review is getting lengthy... But I just want you to know that Joelle deserves like 10 stars... but I can only give 5... But pretend there's 10, please. Basically - you'll LOVE having Joelle Julian Photography as your photographer & she'll capture moments that you will be able to look back on for the rest of your life.

Joelle is a wonderfully talented photographer. She shot our wedding June 2016 and I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with. From the get go she was responsive, helpful, funny and made us feel very comfortable with our pictures on our wedding day. She remains professional at all times and keeps your best intrests at heart. My friends and family still comment on her pictures to this day 1 year later! We loved our experience with Joelle and love our pictures. Hoping to use her for special photos again in the future!!!

Joelle is SO amazing she made us so comfortable, after only meeting her in person twice, I feel like we're friends! My fiance was having a fit before engagement pictures wondering why we would need more than one or 2 pictures, by the end he discovered it wasn't so bad. And our pictures? AMAZING!!! So amazing! I can not say enough how great Joelle is! She gave us some gorgeous photos to remember our day by!

Hands down the best photographer! My husband and I had Joelle take our engagement and wedding photos. She totally rocked it. My husband isn't much of a picture taking guy and after our engagement session he said "Ok, that wasn't bad. I wish everyone had that much enthusiasm about their job. She's awesome!" We had so much fun! Joelle made our wedding day complete. She captured every little detail and surpassed our expectations of a wedding photographer. We still get compliments to this day about how amazing our photos turned out. Joelle is simply the best!

What more could you ask for from a wedding day photographer? Nothing! Joey Photo made our day special and stress free! She had a lot of people to coordinate and captured everyone's special look. I couldn't ask for someone with more charisma and flexibility to help coordinate and capture our wedding day. We are so thankful for the photos we have from our wedding day. One of my favorites is one she captured of my mother taking a step back and looking at me after she put on my wedding dress. I'm so grateful for this precious memory that I will be able to relive for years to come.

We were truly honored to have Joelle photograph our wedding day. We are blessed by how perfectly she captured every moment, both big and small! We cherished her sweet, spunky personality on our special day, just as we cherished her encouragement, prompt correspondence, and utmost professionalism throughout the planning process. Joelle is a treasure! We can't wait for Joey Photo to capture future memories and milestones in our marriage!

Joelle is one of those people you meet and instantly want to be her best friend. She exudes friendliness, joy, and PASSION. She LOVES what she does. She will giggle when she has an image she likes, she is just so real.

Two years later and my home is FLOODED with both wedding and engagement pictures that she took for us. My husband the other day walked past an engagement picture and said, "that was a fun day." What?! Ladies, if your man says they enjoyed taking pictures, it had to be real, right?!

I can tell you that working with Joelle was far more than any expectations I had. Not only do you get the pictures (obviously), you get a completely customizable date night with your main person, that just happens to capture your love on camera.

Is there anything better?!

Joelle was an absolute JOY to work with from booking, to our wedding day, to receiving our final products. She was so open from the start to learning about us and exactly what we wanted. On the day of our wedding not only did she make everyone feel at ease, she truly captured not just photographs but memories and the personalities of our loved ones. We now have pieces of art in our home that we will truly cherish forever. We still have friends and family comment on our "awesome photographer"! Joelle's personalism, professionalism, and creativity is something that is hard to come by and we are so thankful we were able to work with her!

On our wedding day she captured not only the beauty of our setting but the emotions of the day, leaving us with stunning photos that we will cherish forever. But what really set Joelle apart, making her the right fit for us, was her personality and the relationship that we quickly built while planning for our wedding day. It was an honor to work with her and I'm even more grateful to now call her a friend!
Her work speaks for itself but you're getting much more than a great photographer with Joelle, you're getting someone who truly invests her all into you and your day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
