    Julia and her team are by far the best! We just loved their style. Julia is so kind and creative. I felt like we were on the same page all day. I am in awe of how she was able to capture everyone at my wedding (200 people) without knowing all of them. Shelly followed me around at cocktail hour and captured some great family and friend group shots. Elkin ran the Photo Booth, which I would highly recommend. It's not a typical booth, it's a photographer and backdrop so you get high quality photos and assurance that no one is cut out of the picture. Julia's on the pricier side but well worth it. Pictures last a lifetime and I love every single one of mine! My sister just booked her for next year as well!

    We were first attracted to Julia Newman as she is an incredibly talented photographer, but what makes Julia standout from other skilled photographers is the way she conducts her entire business. Her experience, style, organization, and desire to make the process special for her clients was really unparalleled. We wanted to work with someone we were confident would do a beautiful job and we wouldn't have to worry at all on the wedding day - Julia was the perfect choice! She approaches her work with great care and takes pride in her product. She was a delightful to correspond with throughout the process - responding promptly & clearly to emails and calls. On the wedding day, Julia took charge in a calming but commanding way. Julia has a creative photojournalistic style but understands the importance of the portrait shots for the families as well as part of documenting the event. She made sure all of the portrait shots were wanted were taken and captured the day in a beautifully and stylish manner. We were so happy that we decided to do an engagement shoot where we developed a relationship. You can't underestimate the value of developing a comfort level and understanding of your photographer's style before your wedding day. The engagement shoot was fun to do and we were able to see Julia's high quality work, which allowed us to fully trust her to do the same on the wedding day. I was really glad that Julia set up a call to talk though the day as the wedding was approaching. It really helped to ease my anxiety over the potential pitfalls.

    Julia does the little things that make you realize the caliber of her studio. From the PDF presentation "first look" she puts together for the couple to first experience the photos together to the stylish flash drive delivered in a beautifully wooden box with our names & wedding date carved on it, Julia continued to impress us with her thoughtful touches and skilled photography. We highly recommend Julia!!

    Julia Newman was fantastic and I am so glad that I booked her for my wedding. I'm an amateur photographer myself and photography was arguably the most important element of the wedding. Julia's experience, style, and ability to make her clients feel comfortable and taken care of was really unparalleled. On the wedding day she thought of things that we forgot and really helped to make everything go smoothly, keep us on schedule with portraits, and I was not disappointed when i saw the pictures just a few short weeks later. She was a key element of the wedding day and I'm really thankful I went with her!! When you're looking for a wedding photographer, don't underestimate experience and quality - Julia has all of that. I was so impressed with the images, and I'm just thrilled with them. Worth every penny.

    Julia Newman Photography's reply:

    Thank you, Julie, for such a lovely review. Your wedding was absolutely wonderful and I wish you and your new husband all the happiness in the world!

    Julia was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is a true professional, knows how to get her job done correctly, efficiently, and creatively. She handles large groups of people with ease. Her pictures speak for themselves, but when looking through the 1100 pictures we have from that day, I get a full and complete sense of what happened. Her photojournalistic sensibility is amazing and I have some incredible moments captured that would have lived in my memory only if she wasn't so good at her job. One thing that surprised me was how quickly she was able to get our pictures to us. We had them 2 weeks later - AMAZING! She's fabulous and I feel lucky to have had her document one of the most important days of my life. I feel that photography is the only thing that lasts when the whirlwind day is over. I wouldn't want to trust that to anyone else.

    Julia shot our wedding memorial day weekend and our engagement photos before that. She was amazing and the photos were amazing. 2 points on Julia:
    1 - If you are thinking of hiring her, just check out her blog. She has up all of her events and you can even sort by location to get a feel of her style in different settings. We got a great feel of her work from her website and we let her do her thing on our wedding day and it came out great.
    2 - I liked how organized Julia was. From the day we met, she was talking about schedules with us which made my organized wife very happy. She got all of the information she needed before the wedding so everything ran smoothly that day.

    I would love to work with Julia again. Had a great time with her and she worked very hard at our wedding. My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend her.

    My husband and I really enjoyed working with Julia and her team.

    We got married in New York City, and Julia had so many great ideas on shooting locations and ways to make our portraits stand out from the pack.

    Not only are her photos very stylish, she's also a very organized person -- an absolute necessity on a day with so many moving parts.

    One side of the family that is very large (50+) has a tradition of taking big group photos at every family function. Julia was able to politely yet efficiently wrangle the troops to get the needed shot; I've been in countless situations were people are standing around like this, just waiting to get their group shots taken. Not Julia. It took five minutes max.

    Her team was able to catch the entire range of moments without getting in the way: highlights of the ceremony, funny moments on the dance floor, moving speeches, people goofing off, classic portraits.

    I highly recommend going with the photo-booth option that she offers, too. It was a definite crowd pleaser.

    It's been almost three years since our wedding and I keep hearing about our "gorgeous" wedding photos from family members and long lost friends on Facebook. I highly recommend her!

    Julia and her team at Julia Newman Photography were a complete dream to work with on the day of our wedding and the photos are absolutely stunning! My husband and I are thrilled with the photographs and we would HIGHLY recommend her to future couples getting engaged, getting married, having babies. The wedding photography was very important to us as we didn't want a videographer - Julia has an amazing eye and she captured all of the beautiful moments of our ceremony and reception as well as so many gorgeous couple & family shots. My entire family was very impressed with her professionalism, friendliness, sweet yet directive demeanor and most importantly, the way she and her team blended into the event. While going through our photos, Ian and I were so giddy about how the photos turned out, we continued to say "how did she get these - I don't even remember seeing her!", which in our opinion is how it should be. Amazing work, Julia, Ryan and Kaity - we can not thank you enough for capturing the memories from our day. We will continue to use and recommend Julia Newman Photography for all the major events in our lives and our friends' and family's lives. Thank you!

    Julia was the perfect photographer for us! I had seen her work long before I was engaged and I remember saying "this is my photographer." I was not one of those people who planned their wedding for a long time (maybe 5 months) and I never really thought about it before being engaged but the one thing I did know for sure was that I had to have Julia! She was amazing, fun, and talented. She even bought our entire wedding party ice cream, which made for some fantastic photos on the Brooklyn Promenade. Her second photographer and assistant were also fantastic. They manage to capture all the action without being in the way. My album is a true reflection of our day and incorporates so many details. I love that it's not the typical album of everyone facing forward in a straight line - every picture is artistic and interesting. Julia is extremely talented!

    Julia is amazing. Everyone that has seen our wedding photos has asked who the photographer was. Let her do her thing, have confidence in her talent and hard work and you will not be disappointed.

    Julia is a true artist. She captured every perfect moment without a hint of intrusiveness. The photos are breathtaking. I have had so many compliments on the pictures, and "who was your photographer?!"s that I can't even count them all.

    I GUARANTEE you will not find a better photog in NYC. It is impossible! Julia is absolutely above and beyond what anyone could expect of a photographer! She has true artistic creativity and passion for her craft. Her pictures are without a doubt, magazine quality. You can't do better, trust me! She is worth every penny...especially when the picturews are what you have for a lifetime of memories!

    Julia was willing to travel from NY to PA and she even brought a second photographer with her, which was great. She worked with what we wanted and even got some shots that we didn't even know they were taking! So very nice and has such great vision and the pictures turned out so amazing.

    Though a little pricey, Julia's work speaks for itself. We have yet to see the final pictures but she did post some preliminary photos to her blog. Outstanding

    Working with Julia and her team was an absolute pleasure. From our first phone call, she was warm, personable, and really understood my vision for our wedding day. She took the time to get to know me and my fiance, meeting us on a few occasions to make sure we were comfortable with her and vice versa. She was always responsive to my emails and phone calls. She took explicit notes on us, our day, our families, every detail was captured beautifully. On the day of the wedding, Julia and her team were fantastic. They never once felt invasive to our guests, yet they didnt miss a single person or moment. The presentation she put together for us is stunning and I cant stop looking through it. She knew the neighborhood well and scouted great spots for our pictures, and really did a fabulous job capturing us at our best and most natural. The pictures came out gorgeous! I've had a difficult time choosing for our thank yous and for our prints. I would recommend Julia without hesitation, and would really look for another opportunity to work with her again in the future.

    Julia is a fantastic photojournalist who exceeded my expectations. Because she is a true photojournalist, she keeps group shots to a minimum. The candid photos she took were perfect--capturing the genuine magic of the day. Her talent, professionalism and vision was exactally what we needed for our wedding.

    Julia is extremely talented and willing to travel! She came to Phila. to shoot my wedding. Her photography, which is mainly photojournalistic in nature, is amazing! Highly recommended!

    Julia's photos are nice, but not like what features on her website as sample albums. I thought my pictures came out "fine" but they weren't that unique and not like the other albums with more unique shots and different lenses like in some of her photos on her website.

    She recently got married and I think is concentrating more on that than on her business and job at the weddings. I recently looked on her blog and she changed some of the dates of previous entries to make it look like she updates more regularly than she does.

    Julia Newman Photography's reply:

    I am so sorry to see this review. I don't know who this is as nobody has contacted me with anything but great things to say about their images. I think it would have been fair to contact me in private before posting this review. I would be very happy to give you another portrait session so that you are thrilled with your photos. Also, I have been rebranding all year and have been waiting to post recent wedding for the spring, when the new site launches. Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss this further.
