I found Julia Lillian Photography while scrolling through elopement photos on Pinterest, and her soft, candid, storytelling style immediately drew me in. There was something about the way she captured emotion—natural, intimate, a little adventurous—that made me feel like she was the perfect fit for us. And she truly was.
From our very first video call, Julia was incredibly communicative and thoughtful. She helped us plan out every detail, from the timeline to suggesting Airbnbs and beautiful locations for the ceremony. What really stood out was that she came into town days early to scout trails and locations in person, so we’d know exactly what to expect. She even did some of the hikes we had planned, which was such a testament to how dedicated she is.
On the day of our elopement, Julia was a calm, grounding presence. Even when we ran into two other elopement couples at our vow location and opted to change our plan and found a better location off the beaten path. She handled everything so smoothly and helped keep our day on track. I was a little anxious due to all the excitement going into the day, but she helped ease that completely.
She captured so many special, fleeting moments—my absolute favorite being right after our first kiss, when I was just overwhelmed with joy to be married to my husband. Looking through our gallery, I was amazed by how natural and unposed the photos felt—exactly what I had hoped for. And when I asked if I could have just one photo to send to my mom that night, Julia sent me seven beautifully edited shots within an hour.
If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond to make your day stress-free, fun, and unforgettable—Julia is your person. I’d recommend her to anyone planning an elopement, no matter the location. She’s not just an amazing photographer, she’s a truly supportive and kind presence to have by your side on one of the most meaningful days of your life.

Julia was a DREAM. A million out of million recommend. She made the process leading up to the wedding so organized, thoughtful, personal and easy. I felt like all I had to do was show up and be present. She made us feel like we could just be ourselves and she would capture the life being lived and the moments. You can see and feel our joy and our love
in the photos. They are incredibly beautiful, alive, artistic and very "us." We absolutely adore her as a person and an artist. One little example of who she is...I lost the back of my earring from my great grandfather. Without missing a beat, she got down on her hands and knees in the dirt looking for it. Then, she took her own earring off and handed the back to me. We came away from the experience just wanting to hang out with this fun and lovely person. Thank you, Julia for making us feel comfortable in our own skin and making our day so magical.

Julia is an amazing photographer! Since day one when we met she has brought such great vibes. She genuinely cares about the people she is working with and helps you feel seen and heard along the way. My husband and I are not good people to have pictures taken but she guided us and helped us feel comfortable. I would 100% recommend Julia every time. I have only received previews so far and I am beyond amazed. I can’t wait for the whole album I know it’s going to be perfect!
