About

Hello friend, your journey to the best day ever starts right here!

I’m Julie Crawford, the passionate creator behind Magnolia + Ember, and I specialize in designing authentic and awe-inspiring experiences. You deserve a wedding that is a genuine reflection of who you are, filled with elements you love and activities that bring you joy as a couple. My art seamlessly combines the emotional depth of human connection with the enchanting beauty of Mother Nature.

As both your photographer and planner, I accompany you every step of the way as we co-create an immersive adventure and bring your dream to life. Whether you envision a "just us" elopement or want family and friends present for an intimate destination wedding, I offer comprehensive assistance throughout the planning process. This includes, but is not limited to, brainstorming ideas to personalize the experience, providing location recommendations, sharing trail reports, assisting with permit applications, creating a tailored timeline, and educating about Leave No Trace ethics to ensure responsible enjoyment of the outdoors.

Let’s get started crafting your wildly intentional experience.

Amazing photos and photographer!

Our photographer Julie was absolutely amazing and having only seen the sneak peeks we are already so impressed with how they turned out. Even beyond the pictures though, Julie was incredibly kind and personable and our families commented throughout the night how nice and professional they thought our photographer was! Julie went above and beyond the roles of a photographer and made sure that we were taken care of throughout the night and she captured so many precious moments! Thank you so much!

So so happy!

As soon as we began speaking with Julie, we knew that we had stumbled upon someone really special. Julie went above and beyond for us (rescheduled when it rained on the day we had originally planned to take pictures, met us for a drink so we could get to know her before the actual picture-taking day). As someone who is never super comfortable in front of the camera, Julie made the experience not only {{not awkward}}, but incredibly fun. We couldn't be happier with our engagement pictures and the quick turn-around. Julie is talented, empathic, a great listener, funny, and creative. I can't recommend her highly enough and definitely hope this isn't our last time working with her.

Can't say enough about M&E!

I don't know how to put into words how amazing Julie is. Her approach to photography, especially for two people who aren't the most comfortable in front of a camera, is incredible. She made us feel so calm during our engagement session as well as our wedding photos. Her style is very unique and truly captures the love between two people. I can't recommend her enough! She is worth every single penny.
