Professional, passionate and genuine soul

From the moment we met Julia we felt that she matched our personalities and was a true professional with a passion for what she does and her photography style was exactly what we were looking for, a bright, editorial, and elegant aesthetic. For our engagement photos even though we were a bit nervous she made us feel like we were having our photos taken by a very close friend. Our wedding day went off without any hitches, and she made our family feel comfortable while getting all the shots we wanted and more. Just when we thought she couldn’t be more amazing she gave us a sneak peek of our photos two days after the wedding, and let me tell you that sneak peek is more than we were expecting, words have no way of capturing how grateful we are to have met and worked with Julia, she will always have a special place in our hearts and we know that anyone else who works with her will get to experience the expert and genuine human being she is.

Captured Every Moment Perfectly!

We are beyond thrilled with our experience working with Julia at Julie Summers Photography! From my daughter’s very first meeting to the final gallery delivery, they were professional, warm, and incredibly talented.

Julia made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera, nothing felt forced or awkward. She captured every important moment, every little glance, every burst of laughter, and every happy tear with such authenticity and beauty. The photos are absolutely stunning—timeless, full of emotion, and beautifully edited. We’ve looked through them a hundred times and still tear up!

Not only is Julia a gifted artist, but they were also such a calming and positive presence on the day itself. She helped keep things on track without ever making anyone feel rushed and worked seamlessly with all of the other vendors.

If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to capture your day exactly how you want to remember it, we can’t recommend Julia Summers Photography enough. These photos are something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you for giving our family the gift of these memories!

— Mike and Terri Barnett, parents of the bride

Julia is the BEST!

Julia was our photographer for our wedding and did an absolutely incredible job. We spoke with her a few times before our wedding and she was always available to answer questions. The day of the wedding she was SO easy to work with, handled our huge wedding party like a pro, and made us feel so relaxed. She made sure to get the perfect shots and paid attention to every little detail, shadow, and pose to make sure they were perfect. She sent us a sneak peak of the photos two days later and there were so many photos! Every single photo is so bright, airy, and absolutely beautiful. We can't say enough good things about our experience with Julia and how obsessed we are with all of her photos! Highly recommend.

Incredible Wedding Photographer

Julia and her team are the best! Julia did our engagement photos and was so creative and got incredible natural shots of us in many different locations. She then prepped Deanna our photographer for our wedding day who made the day go by so smooth. We did not do a first look and thus had less time for photos but still got everything we wanted and more bc she "got the shot" and was supper prepared and efficient. I can't recommend enough.

Working with Julia

From the moment we met Julia, it felt like we hit it off immediately. She's a total pro and clearly has a passion for her work. Her photography style? Exactly what we were hoping for – bright, editorial, and classy.

During our engagement shoot, we were a bit nervous, but Julia made it feel like hanging out with a close friend. One piece of advice I'd give to anyone working with her is to trust her instincts. Some of the poses might feel a bit awkward at first, but the results were fantastic. Our wedding day went smoothly, thanks to her skill in capturing all the shots we wanted while keeping everyone relaxed.

And let me tell you, she surprised us in the best way possible – just two days after the wedding, she gave us a sneak peek of our photos that blew us away. We can't put into words how grateful we are to have met Julia. She's a true gem, and anyone lucky enough to work with her will see what an amazing professional and person she is.

Phenomenal engagement shoot!

We were referred to Julia by a friend, and we just did our engagement shoot with her, as our wedding will be out of town. She did a fantastic job! Our shoot was at the beach in December, and she was wonderful about helping us stay warm enough and choosing a variety of backdrops that were perfect for our beach theme. She turned the pictures around way faster than expected, and we had a ton of shots that we loved.

If our wedding was in the area, we 100% would have hired Julia for that as well. I can't recommend her enough!

The best photographer EVER!

Julia was absolutely amazing! My husband and I had an unfortunate situation with our original photographer that left us stressfully searching for a new photographer WEEKs before our wedding. We were devastated and almost sure we wouldn't find anyone available that we liked in that short amount of time...but our prayers were answered when we heard back from Julia.

From day one of our initial phone call, she was so sweet, organized, ensured us that she could provide everything we needed and even worked with our strict budget. After our first virtual call, my husband and I looked at each other and said... this must be fate. Without losing our previous photographer, we would have never stumbled across this outstanding Julia :)

She took the most beautiful portraits of me getting ready with my mother, our first look with my husband, spectacular ceremony photos, family formal, and the most elegant and timeless couple portraits at the Jefferson Memorial in DC.

We could not have asked for a more professional, knowledgeable, caring, fun and easy to work with photographer! If I could rate her 100 stars I would!!

Julia is an absolute GEM!!!

We knew immediately after our first conversation with her that she would be our photographer, and she delivers. Her talent aside, Julia's energy and charisma make it so easy to work with her and feel like a natural in front of the camera. She's thorough, comforting and so obviously in love with her job, and it will show in your photos. Oh, and she's just a LOVELY person. We highly recommend Julia for your next event or photoshoot!!!

Fantastic Photography!

Julia and her team were absolutely wonderful! Julia captured our day in such a beautiful way and we are so grateful we will have her work to look back on for years! Julia was so helpful throughout the planning process and in putting together the schedule of the day. She was very responsive and we got our sneak peek so quickly! We could not recommend Julia enough!
