Best Photographer Ever!

Julie was fantastic from Day 1. She has amazing communication, reliable, and is a great sounding board for all of your ideas and questions. My husband and I feel awkward taking photos and she made it so comfortable for us and our photos came out amazing. We can't recommend her enough!!!

Beautiful photos, exceeded our expectations

We were so lucky to find Julie and she seriously was one of the best parts of our wedding vendor team. We booked Julie about a year out from our wedding and used her for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. Julie is so easy to work worth and made us feel very comfortable (we felt a little awkward and nervous about taking photos!) and all of our photos have been beautiful. I was so in love with how she captured the more candid moments along with the more posed ones. I especially love how she worked with us to incorporate different settings - we wanted to make sure the unique vintage setting of our venue was highlighted and she captured it perfectly. I could go on and on but I'll wrap with saying Julie is also super responsive and turned around our photos super fast - even faster than we expected. Thank you Julie for all of your help and for capturing this special time in our life!

So great to work with!

Julie was so great to work with! Since we did not have a wedding planner, she was quick to let us know she could help us stay on track in preparation and day of. We wanted our wedding day to feel relaxed and natural and her demeanor matched that perfectly. We were so surprised at how many nice photos she snapped when we didn't even know she was there. Our photos are so beautiful and feel so candid - thankful for Julie's photos to help us remember our special day!

Love love love

COULD-NOT-BE-HAPPIER!! When searching through a sea of wonderful wedding photographers, I fell in love with Julie's style of vibrant colors and moment-capturing candids. I like the require posed pictures of wedding, but I love candid moments that truly capture the feeling of the day.

She was not only wonderful before the wedding, providing guidance and assurance, but was just fun to have around the day-of.

When we received our pictures, I was completely blown away by every photo. She perfectly captured all of the love, fun, and details of the day. My husband and I will treasure these forever :)

Gorgeous, stunning, timeless- Julie was THE best!!!

Julie was the perfect wedding photographer! She was the epitome of responsiveness and professional the entire process! From the first time that we met her, she made us feel SO comfortable and assured us that she would capture our wedding however we wanted it captured!! She was available to meet with us whenever we wanted, and she responded to emails/calls/texts practically right away! Her organization was key to helping us organize our timeline, and she has an eye for detail!!! She captured every single photo/pose that I found on Insta and sent to her beforehand! She listened and understood our style- elegant, timeless, GORGEOUS pictures! She captured the moments of our wedding PERFECTLY. Every angle of our church ceremony was captured perfectly, and she kept my crazy bridal party organized and having fun during the pictures afterwards. She kept us as a bride and groom organized and sticking to our timeline the whole day. Her personality is so friendly and warm that she was the perfect person to help with the crazy flow of the day :)! Her bright, airy feel to her photos left us and all of our friends and family speechless!!! We have not stopped getting compliments!!!!! We also cannot wait to see the gorgeous wedding album she makes- we know it's going to be unbelievable based off the example she showed us. We will continue to recommend Julie to all of our friends and family for her high quality, beautiful wedding photography!

Beautiful photos...talented photographer!

Julie was fantastic to work with from the start. We did engagement photos with her and couldn't imagine using another photographer for our wedding. Julie is very professional, responsive and her photos were absolutely stunning. She captured our day and all the little details perfectly!

Excellent Photographer!

I’m a hairstylist who’s worked with Julie over the course of 5 years on commercial jobs as well as with brides. I’ve always had such a positive experience with Julie as she’s very easy to work, great energy, thorough in communication and efficient with her time. The photos always come out exceeding expectations and are of superb quality. You’re in great hands with Julie!

Best Quality Photography

Julie was excellent. She did an incredible job organizing our families and friends to get the pictures we wanted. She was friendly, professional and nice in the way she did this, not bossy like some photographers we have experienced at other weddings. The photos speak for themselves. She has an excellent eye and I honestly think these are some of the best wedding photos I've ever seen. Absolutely amazing quality and service. 5 stars and even this review are not enough to describe how great she was. Going with anyone else would be a mistake in my opinion.

Absolutely perfect!

Julie, made our whole day run smoothly. She was great to work with ahead of the date with coordinating times/places/must have photos and an absolute pleasure to have around on our day. She is very friendly, organized, responsive, timely, and professional. She made us comfortable from our first meeting, to our engagement shots and day of our wedding. She was great to help with planning the details and talking things through. The photos are stunning and she was able to get all the shots I had requested with ease and without me even realizing we were checking things off the list. I have nothing but rave reviews for Julie! If you need a photographer, don’t hesitate go with Julie! We had someone in our bridal party contact her within a week to do some maternity shots. She’s wonderful!
