I cannot recommend Julia enough! If you are looking for a creative, down to earth, and personable artist to capture your special day please book her! Julia made us comfortable from the first meeting. My husband does not like having his photo taken, but she put his nerves at ease and captured some of the most beautiful and raw photos of us we have ever had.
The day of I woke up to a goofy yet empowering text from Julia expressing how excited she was to capture that day. She showed up to our getting ready spot and my nerves immediately went to ease. She just has a way with her clients that makes you feel as if everything that day is going to be ok. She came prepared with anything a bride could need: water, snacks, hair pins, and for my glasses wearing brides you will appreciate that she even had a cleaning cloth which was a life saver when combating my false eyelash smudges!
She led our very large family and wedding party super efficiently. And when I say large I mean large! My husband and I just were able to relax and chitchat in between photos. She gave us all of the shots we were hoping for and more. We have had so many photo watching parties just the two of us and every time we cry because her work put us back to the exact moment it was taken. She captures the raw emotion and immense love in her work.
We left our wedding perfectly at ease because of her and gained someone we hope to work with for the rest of our lives!

Julia made our wedding day easy and professionally organized. Even living outside NC, Julia made the time to meet with us over zoom a few times to make sure she knew everything we needed and wanted. She was able to give us additional recommendations on vendors as she has been in the wedding industry a long time. Julia even assisted us on a timeline for our wedding day. Julia had a way of capturing all our beautiful and intimate moments throughout the wedding without me even realizing she was doing it. I look at our photos with happy tears at how she was able to capture such quick moments that held so much emotion. The photos are all well edited and easy to share/download with others. If you are looking for completely special photos that aren’t stiff and cookie-cutter, Julia is a totally perfect fit. She really takes the time to get to know a couple and understand what they wanted to see portrayed in their photos. She was incredibly easy to communicate with and made me, my husband, our parties, family, and guests all feel comfortable. I wish I could have another wedding just to hire her again!

We were so thrilled with Julia our entire (2-day) wedding weekend! She did an excellent job of capturing gorgeous photos, candid in-the-moment shots, and our emotions. She was a welcoming, calming presence and had perfect timing. We couldn't be happier and I can't recommend her enough! Our go-to photographer when we need her again!
