About

Hi! My name is Julia and I'm an Elopement & Intimate Wedding Photographer based in Northern California! I love traveling all over California for our couples and the best part is we get to witness them commit their lives to one another .

My goal is for your intimate wedding & elopement to not only be an unforgetable experience but to deepen your relationship even more. From your 1st anniversary to your 30 year anniversary, your wedding images should bring back all the emotions you felt that day. Reliving your day will make your bond stronger and flourish more love for another.

We don't have to be in the middle of nowhere to have an adventure (although that sounds amazing), because your love story is an adventure, we will follow whereever you desire to say your vows because your day is too important to make compromises!

Amazing Adventure Elopement Photographer

My fiancé and I were a little nervous about hiring a photographer to do a photoshoot, but we were recommended this photographer based on a friend who saw her work on Instagram. Her photos were so incredible that I was hesitant if she would even consider working with us, but she responded right away and was very enthused. We initially were stuck by how awesome and nice she sounded over the phone. The contract she wrote up was very clear and she was very helpful in walking us through what to expect on our big day. I remembered thinking that she was incredibly professional, well organized, and an excellent communicator. Julia was so exuberant about all the sites we are going to visit for our shoot, but really tailored the final decisions on what best reflected our core interests as a couple and working with the best lighting.

One thing that we were especially impressed with was her care and detail in terms of building up a rapport ahead of our elopement day. She also sent us a short survey to fill out to get to know us and as a way to share our story. It was the perfect way to help my fiancé and I rediscover things about each other and remember why we had initially fallen in love. Julia really set the stage for the photoshoot and our elopement to follow to be one of the best experiences of our lives!

We spent five hours with her on the day of our elopement. Initially we thought that would be too much time, but in the end, we felt like we could have spent a whole weekend with her. Her enthusiasm and fun nature really allowed the day to feel like a fun adventure with a close friend and the perfect start to our lives together as husband and wife. She also was very experienced in how to guide us during the shoot in a way that felt easy going and natural. We ended up laughing and having a blast the whole day!

When we saw the photos were totally blown away!! They were gorgeous – even beyond what we were expecting. Hiring Julia was one of the best investments we made (not just for having the incredible photos to look at and share), but also starting us off on our next adventure in life as a couple. Thank you Julia!!

Couldn’t of asked for a better photographer!

I can not rave about Julia enough!! We booked her before COVID. And when the pandemic changed our original 200-300 person June 2020 wedding, she was so flexible and helpful with us! She took the time to discuss ideas on how our new elopement day could go. We switched gears and went with an under 15 person elopement day. Our wedding day went perfectly and they were a huge part of it! Her and her husband Don perfectly captured our day!! The photos are more stunning than I ever could of imagined! They made us feel so comfortable and we had such a fun day going around Big Sur taking photos. It felt like an adventure day with old friends. We feel so lucky we chose them to be our photographers! I’d definitely recommend Julia to any family or friends!

Amazing Experience

My husband and I loved working with Julia and her husband. I found them through a friend that was also getting married. I got see their work through their engagement and wedding photos (as well as their other gigs they published), and we both liked their photography style.

Our first meeting went great, and we signed the con tract as soon as we could.

Julia was great about answering questions and offering advise from her experiences. The advise was more than welcomed as my husband and I had never planned a large event and had been to so few weddings.

Come the day of, Julia and her husband were on time, friendly as could be, and very professional. They captured everything I could have thought of and we got through our shot lists smoothly. Overall, they were amazing to work with. I could not recommend them enough!!

Our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures are beautiful! I can’t wait to work with them again in the future!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
