Talented, Responsive. Flexible, The Best!
Julie was absolutely amazing to work with! (Especially during COVID). When I was originally looking for a wedding photographer, so many people didn’t even email me back. Julie was by far the most responsive which was very important to me. I never worry about not being able to get in touch with her and love following her work on her active social media accounts. Julie was extremely accommodating during the COVID shut down and made rescheduling my big ceremony to next year as easy as possible.
My husband and I decided to still elope this year. Julie was willing to wake up at 3 in the morning and adventure out to Mt Rainier at sunrise to capture our special day. She made me feel very comfortable while shooting and was super friendly and professional. Even though she had 3 elopements that weekend, she was still able to get me a sneak peak within a couple days! The pictures so far look AMAZING. I can’t wait to get the rest of them back and I’m looking forward to working with Julie again for my big ceremony next year.
On top of all that, Julie is not only a talented photographer, but a genuinely good person. I appreciate that she supports all love regardless of sexual orientation and people of all color. Long story short, Julie is the best, and I would definitely recommend her!

Look no further!!
If you're looking for a stress-free wedding day where you can actually be present and enjoy every moment - Julie is your person!
As a self-proclaimed anxious, easily overwhelmed bride, I cannot recommend her enough. From the moment we started working together, I could tell she brings a wealth of experience to every wedding and knows exactly what she's doing. I trusted her judgment completely and gave her full creative control to direct us throughout the day. Best decision I made! She took that responsibility and ran with it beautifully.
Whether you're a Type A bride who wants every detail planned out, or more like me - a little unsure, a little scattered, just wanting to soak in the day, but still expecting beautiful photos you'll actually want to hang on your wall, Julie will absolutely be your savior. Hire her. You won't regret it!

Julie takes amazing photos!
My husband and I can’t be happier that we booked Julie at Sound & Sea Photography to be our wedding photographer. Leading up to our wedding, Julie was communicative and asked great questions to improve our experience and outcome. One the day of, she put us at ease with her kind and calm personality, and we knew we were in good hands. Neither of us are incredibly natural in front of a camera, but you can’t tell from her results! We are thrilled to have a collection of beautiful photos that represent the happiness of us, and our friends and family on our wedding day. We will treasure them for years to come.

Glam & Adventure
Julie Morgan from Sound & Sea Photography gave me the photo session of my dreams. Her expertise and attention to detail left me worry and anxiety free. Being from out of state, we were able to connect via phone and zoom. I gave her my vision and some details i wanted to incorporate and BOY DID SHE DELIVER!!!! She gave me plenty of site options to choose from, and all were exactly what i was looking for. We narrowed it down to distance and ease to locate since we were traveling with little ones. She considered everyone and everything. Her outlook and sense of direction really made the absolute difference. She took factors of the elements, snow, sun, shade, fog, light and gave us the most beautiful moments. Even capturing the little candid moments with the kids and my new husband were so heart warming. She saw what I didn't see. She positioned us in ways that were both flattering and fun! She had the best pricing but and the best accommodations. I would definitely recommend a thousand times!

Better than we could have hoped for
Julie is amazing!! From the first meeting with her to the day of our elopement, she was friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful. She captured our special moment perfectly and followed us to our two extra locations to get pictures. She provided direction to get the best shots and provided insightful recommendations to ensure the best possible photos. If you can get Julie as your photographer, DO IT!

Antonio and the Sound & Sea team have a way of keeping you relaxed, comfortable and laughing throughout the entire process.

Julie was a total pro, incredibly communicative, and her tips along the way helped us feel more prepared.
The photos themselves — and the editing — wow. From the lighting to the color tones and overall feel, their style perfectly captured the look and mood we were going for. We will cherish these images for a lifetime.
We highly recommend Sound & Sea. Their professionalism, creativity, relaxed demeanor and genuine passion for their craft resulted in photos and video that captured our day in the most stunning and heartfelt way possible.

Sound and Sea Photography
Julie and Sophia, the dynamic duo from Sound & Sea Photography, exceeded our expectations. Julie's mastery in photography was evident as she focused on capturing every significant moment. Sophia, handling videography, brought a unique perspective to our memories.
Prior to our wedding, we scheduled an engagement photoshoot with Julie, which turned out to be a fantastic decision. It allowed my husband, who had never experienced a professional photoshoot, to get acquainted with Julie's style. She has a keen eye for backdrops and is able to swiftly capture perfect shots while ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable session.
Julie's efficiency was remarkable; she not only valued the quality of her work but also our time, allowing us ample time to cherish moments with our loved ones. Sophia was also present and let us know anytime any thing needed to be recaptured. Both were a pleasure to work with and communicated effectively to ensure our special day was captured.

Wonderful PNW photo and videography wedding
My wife and I loved working with Julie and Sophia! Julie had fun with our shoots with us and really did a great job at capturing our natural moments. They also did an incredible job of keeping everyone on track with our timeline to keep things moving smoothly while still incorporating a great 'first' first look with my best man prior to the real thing. Julie provided great communication throughout the process and made a clear effort at getting to know the kind of couple we were so she could really capture the things that mattered to us. Sophia provided some awesome viedeography and went above and beyond to get some really wonderfult footage from up in a tree to make for a truly special wedding video!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
