About

Sydni Media is a traveling, award-winning wedding Photographer & Videographer based out of Wilmington, NC. Owner Julia Sydni DeNigris bases her entire client experience around the idea that how you feel in front of the camera directly affects how your images turn out. Because of this, Julia works with a limited number of couples each year to ensure that she can truly get to know you two, build a genuine friendship, and make you feel special and confident in front of the camera. Julia provides a complimentary engagement session to all her couples so she can get to know you in person and help get all the pre-wedding-photography-jitters out before your day.

On your wedding day, Julia will be by your side every step of the way, making sure you look and feel amazing! She works with her clients and their planning team to provide a photography timeline that captures everything you want while still placing a priority on giving you time throughout the day to actually enjoy your wedding and spend plenty of time with all of your loved ones and spouse. Julia caters her posing style to her clients by providing prompts for candid photos that make your personality shine or a more hands-on, posed approach for those who prefer it! There is a reason her clients rave about their experience working with Julia: as much as they love their images and films. Julia and her team are always the same people, and her clients always talk about how much they loved working with them! Julia specializes in natural light photography and edits for natural skin tones and colors in her images.

Sydni Media has received awards for her photography on both Wedding Wire and The Knot and has been featured in several publications.

Outstanding Photographer

When I first started planning this wedding, it dawned on me and who I would want to photograph my wedding. This was an easy choice because I was lucky enough do you have gone to high school with Julia and we also majored in the same things for film television and media. Her and her team were absolutely amazing throughout the whole entire process. She went above and beyond with, including all the information I would need to know for the day of. She provided me with a booklet that breaks down the whole process leading up to the wedding, Ideas for engagement shoots, and continuously had open communication through text, Zoom calls, and other phone calls. On top of that, she even sends you a personal gift for getting engaged and other goodies. She is truly an amazing person inside and out and loved loved how my pictures turned out. If you need someone who is willing to travel from NC she is your girl. I promise you won’t regret this decision. I highly recommend her !!!!

Amazing!

My husband and I got married this past June 2024 and absolutely LOVED working with Julia and her team! Julia goes above and beyond for all her clients. We had an immediate connection with her, and she made us feel comfortable during our engagement photo session and throughout our entire wedding day. Not only is Julia so easy to work with, but she is also highly organized and thoughtful, and her work is just incredible. Our family and friends still tell us how blown away they are with our wedding photos and video. If you are on the fence about booking a photographer to capture your special day, GO WITH JULIA!! We could not have had a better experience, and I am so grateful Julia captured these memories for us to have for the rest of our lives! Thank you SO MUCH again, Julia! You are the B.P.O.A.T (Best photographer of all time!!).

The best!!

Julia is so amazing at what she does!! Absolutely blown away by our wedding photos. We are extremely happy that we chose Sydni Media as our wedding photographer.

Booking a photographer was one of my top things to do once I got engaged. I found Sydni Media and really loved the style of photography and quality Julia delivered in her work. Starting with our engagement session, Julia was so good about getting us comfortable in front of the camera and made the session fun. Julia is such a a nice person and instantly felt like she was a friend when we met her.

Leading up to the wedding day, she was great about touching base and provided a thorough timeline that helped the day run so smoothly. Julia is very professional and organized. Our wedding photos are my very favorite thing to look at, I have looked at our full album 100 times already because they are all so good. Friends and family are blown away when we have shown them our album and have given her so many compliments to. We even got sneak peaks the day after.. not 5 sneak peak images, a whole collection. It was amazing and exciting to see them so soon.

Highly recommend Julia photographing your big event! She is such a genuinely nice person and so great at what she does. The thought and love she puts into everything she does amazed me. We felt so appreciated the entire time we got to work with her.

Sydni media went above and beyond!

Julia (Sydni Media) is an absolute gem!!!!! When I first started looking for a photographer for my wedding, Sydni Media was one of the few I reached out to. Her response to my inquiry was the nicest response I got back from any vendor the entire planning process. She was REAL and super down to earth. I got the same vibe from Julia during our first phone chat. She was so excited to hear about the proposal and our love story. It was so genuine and honestly is what made me book her! From there, things only got better! She sent us a thoughtful engagement gift and Christmas gift and I was so shocked... I couldn't believe it! She made us feel so special. The gifts she got us are some of our favorites from all the gifts we received during our entire engagement/wedding season! When we had our engagement session with her, my husband and I were a little nervous. We hadn't ever really gotten professional photos taken, but Julia walked us through the whole process and made us feel so comfortable and confident pumping us up the entire time, which made for some really awesome and candid photos of us just being ourselves! When it came to wedding day, we knew what to expect and we had already met her so everything went so smooth! She blends in and takes amazing photos while we were just living it up and enjoying our day. We got sneak peaks back THE NEXT DAY!!!!! Still crying over how beautiful those have turned out! We had a magical day and Julia captured it PERFECTLY! These pictures are what we will have look back on in 5, 20, 40+ years and we could not have choose a better person to capture those special moments! Any time I show friends or family the pictures, the first thing they say is OMG those pictures are amazing where did you find your photographer!? So trust me when I say you will not regret booking with Sydni Media! Thank you again Julia!!!!!

Couldn't ask for a better vendor!

Working with Julia is an amazing and stress-free experience, starting with the very first introduction call! She coaches you through the in’s and out’s of the wedding process, and provides keen insight that will keep you and your fiancé level-headed and enjoying every step of your engagement. She is extremely organized and guides you through the ever growing to-do lists, but most importantly she truly cares about getting to know each of her clients, not just booking the job and getting the paycheck. Day of, Julia kept us on track (both physically and mentally) and stepped in when needed, never batting an eye. We are so appreciative of her skills, leadership, and developed friendship throughout this whole process!

Not just a vendor, a friend.

From day one, Julia made me feel like my day was just as special to her as it was for me. Of all the vendors I ended up having to hire for this major day in my life, she stands out, a clear winner, as someone I want to maintain a friendship with. She is genuine, dedicated, and in your corner for your day, without fail.

Talented, professional videographer

After speaking with Julia once, I immediately knew I wanted to hire her. She made me feel confident that she could execute my ideal wedding video and she pulled though! I didn’t want a classic wedding film and that did not scare her away. She delivered on everything I wanted and I truly thing I have the best wedding video. Her edits are beautiful. She was also so on top of everything, communicating with me throughout the entire process from the moment I hired her to delivering me my wedding videos.

Julia is an amazing and talented Photographer!

Julia was an amazing photographer for our wedding. I am 100% happy with my decision in choosing her to capture our special day. She had a game plan already together before she arrived and made it happen so smoothly it was no worry to me or my now husband. She gave perfect direction on what to do and where to go for the perfect photos. She is incredible! Take it from me, someone who is a perfectionist and values my hard earned money, Sydni Media is the way to go and is worth every dime!!!!!! I promise you won't be anywhere near disappointed!

Hire SydniMedia ASAP!!!!!

Choosing Julia with SydniMedia Photography was one of the best decisions that we could have made during our wedding planning process. From our first conversation, Julia made me feel so comfortable and confident moving forward with her team. After our engagement session, I absolutely knew that we picked the right photo and video team for our wedding. Working with Julia feels like working with your best friend - she is so fun, flexible and makes you feel comfortable instantly. Leading up to the wedding, Julia was extremely detailed with her photo timelines, shot list, and communicating the necessary items/ steps for the day of. She captured our love and all of our favorite people so perfectly - I will forever use her for any photos in the future! She even came back to the venue after leaving because she remembered a specific photo at night that we talked about getting but forgot about as the night went on. Cannot recommend working with her and her team enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
