    A dream to work with!

    Working with Sound & Sea for our wedding photography and videography was an absolute dream come true. From start to finish, every member of their team was a delight to work with, making our experience truly enjoyable and stress-free.

    Antonio and the Sound & Sea team have a way of keeping you relaxed, comfortable and laughing throughout the entire process. This is particularly important when you tend to feel awkward being photographed, as we do. They instantly put us at ease, allowing us to be ourselves and ensuring that every moment captured felt natural and genuine.

    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.

    Amazing photographer!!

    Sound and Sea Photography is amazing! Julie and her team (Antonio was our second shooter) are amazing photographers and were able to capture all the key moments. They never forced any photos and got photos that look natural and fun (even if they gave us prompts to do). My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera but Julie made us more comfortable doing photos than I was anticipating. Not only is Julie a skilled photographer, she knows the wedding business like the back of her hand. She gave us the best tips when helping build out our timeline, knowing the locations of where we took our engagement and wedding photos, and coming up with back up plans. Her communication from the moment we reached out was above and beyond. You are in the best hands if you hire Sound and Sea Photography for your wedding! We were so grateful to work with Julie and Antonio!

    Top Notch Photography on our Special Day!

    Sound & Sea Photography was absolutely amazing! Their whole team exuded boundless energy, keeping the entire event dynamic and engaging. Their professionalism and meticulous organization from start to finish were truly impressive.

    Their preparation online and seamless execution during the event left me in awe. Antonio, their second shooter, was outstanding, and the groomsmen thoroughly enjoyed their photo session with him. If you're planning a big event, we wholeheartedly recommend Sound & Sea Photography; they are unquestionably top-notch in capturing the most precious moments.

    You will not regret choosing Julie

    Julie and her team were incredible! We owe so much of the smoothness of our wedding to her extremely helpful direction leading up to the day and firm and prepared guidance on the day itself.
    She has so much experience and was a fountain of helpful tips which was extra useful to us given we made the decision to NOT use a wedding planner. She came through with extra suggestions that I overlooked simply because I've never planned a wedding before and they helped make the day a breeze. Her team was also quick to pivot when things went awry (as they do!) such as schedule changes, lighting issues, etc. They always had a quick Plan B which is really when their expertise shone through!
    I think my favorite thing about her was her ability to firmly herd the cats. Let's be honest, on the wedding day everyone is happy, drinking and being silly (cough, looking at you, Groomsmen cough) but we were on a time crunch. She was able to get everyone to quickly focus up and do exactly what they needed to do to keep us on track. This game us more time with loved ones but allowed us to still get all the pictures we wanted :)
    Selecting her team was easily the best vendor decision we made and seeing our sneak peeks only reinforced it. The candids... the black and whites... I was FLOORED that that was me up there on the screen. THANK YOU for making us look so good and being a breeze to work with. I love working with women who get shit done!

    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!

    Perfect Photos and Video

    Julie and the team did everything in their power to make my day special. The attention to detail is unmatched, and they were the best vendors in terms of communication and organization. Our engagement shoot was lovely, and the photos for the day of turned out perfect. The highlight video is so special, I couldn't have imagined a better version.

    Sound & Sea Photography is your next photographer

    Julie was an amazing photographer for us, she brought a wealth of experience and was able to run the show flawlessly. In addition to the photos themselves (which were so beautiful and creative), she provided us with a lot of ideas that helped shape our special day, and even provided us with a recommendation for a day of coordinator who was equally amazing. Julie was willing to work with us to determine the best timeline/price point that fit our actual needs. She didn’t just automatically steer us to the most expensive plan (which was still very well priced), which we appreciated so much! She was also so quick to provide sneak peeks on both our engagement photos and the wedding itself. Anyone that is reading this and considering Julie/Sound and Sea, just stop right now and go with her. You won't regret it at all!

    They are incredible!

    Julie and anyone she has brought along to our photo shoots have been absolutely amazing! Her photography is beautiful and she truly has an eye for the best shot. We flew to Washington for our engagement pictures and immediately wanted to book her for our wedding! We will definitely be using Sound & Sea photography for any other pictures I can think of in the future! We haven’t gotten all of our pictures back because our wedding was one week ago, but I’ve attached some of our engagement and some from the sneak peak of our wedding!

    The best choice we made!

    Julie was the best choice we could have ever made to document our wedding day - both in the experience during (and leading up to) the day, and the incredible quality of shots she delivered to us afterwards. Julie was responsive, on top of things, and listened to our desires and vision for what we hoped to capture on our wedding day. Antonio, her second shooting partner that day, was also a wonderful addition to her team. Together they were so fun, kind, on task, on time, direct and intentional, and went above and beyond to ensure the day went smoothly. We appreciated all lead up communication, a short engagement shoot (which, again, Julie went above and beyond for us!). We are seriously in awe of the photo collection we now get to savor forever. Thank you x1000 Julie. Do yourself a favor and book her!

    Best Photographer Ever!

    We knew early on as we were developing our priorities and budget that photography was amongst the most important things for us for our wedding. We did a fair amount of searching around, looking at styles and packages, and as soon as we found Sound & Sea we just had to reach out. After speaking with Julie we knew it was a perfect match. Julie made us (an extremely awkward couple) so comfortable and collaborated so well with us to work with our ideas for the shot list with her own creative vision. Julie was so accommodating for our ideas for engagement photos as well. The day-of couldn’t have possibly gone smoother with Julie and her assistant, and when we received the photos we were absolutely floored and enjoyed every photo as we re-lived our special day. We wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Julie and Sound & Sea Photography, we plan on working with her repeatedly in the future as our lives evolve.

    Professional, Prompt and easy going

    We met Julie when I went looking for a photographer at the last minute..ver last minute! (2 months prior to wedding). Although she was already booked..she was kind enough to work some magic and managed to get us in her schedule because ours was a "micro wedding". We wanted pictures of our pre wedding reception and then the ceremony the next day. She arrived promptly both days and took beautiful candid shots. Then worked with us to quickly take some portraits of various guests, family and friends. The photos came out beautiful and everyone commented on how easy going she is. Ours was a destination wedding in Seattle so I was concerned about finding the right person for our photos. So glad I found Julie! Amazing attention to detail!

    Great photography/videography team

    I appreciated Julie's professionalism and timeliness in her communication both in the months leading up to our wedding and on the day itself. It really took the guesswork out of everything and allowed us to focus on having fun on our wedding day! The shots Julie and her second shooter, Antonio, took were just amazing and I was really impressed by how they were able to adapt to rapidly changing weather conditions (during our first look and bridal party photos, it was blazing hot and sunny one second, and then windy and rainy the next). They were ready to make adjustments on the go and the photos turned out beautiful. Sophia also made a very touching highlight video for us and our friends have commented as to how unique and beautiful it was. They are a great team and we are happy we got to work with them!

    Exceeded all expectations!

    Sound and Sea Photography was my dream for my wedding photography/videography! Julie and Sophia were quick to reply with all emails and answer any questions. On the day of, they got there before I even did and they knew right away what to shoot. Our photos and videos are a dream. We could not be happier!!

    Sound and Sea -- the photo team you need in your life

    Julie of Sound and Sea and her daughter Sophie (2nd shooter) were absolutely amazing and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Julie sends questionnaires and surveys over email about photo style, family shot-list, your relationship as a couple, and notifications about when payments are due leading up to the wedding. This made the photo prep very straightforward and manageable, and she does a great job of spacing them out in the months leading up to the wedding so you aren't overwhelmed as it gets closer to the big day. On our wedding day, Julie went above and beyond to ensure that we had captured every moment of the day that mattered to us. She was 100% non-judgmental about any requests I made and about complicated family situations, etc. She helped us feel comfortable enough that she could really capture our true selves and our love in a beautiful way. Finally, the photos we got back from Julie were simply incredible. Looking through them was like experiencing the day all over again -- every little detail and sweet moment was captured, often without me even realizing she was there photographing! We really enjoyed working with Julie and Sophie and had an absolutely perfect experience with Sound and Sea!!

    Julie and Sophia did such an awesome job as our wedding photographer & videographer! They were organized, professional, responsive and very accommodating for our change in plan (we had to postpone our wedding during COVID). We loved their style - the incredible candid photos and highlight video will for sure bring up good memories every time we go through them with our family and friends. Highly recommend!

    Expert wedding photographer

    Not only does Julie take stunning high-quality photos, but she is an expert in wedding photography. There is a lot to balance when planning a wedding, and Julie is incredibly thoughtful and organized. We were very thankful for Julie's advice and expertise! We are obsessed with our pictures and absolutely recommend Sound and Sea photography.

    Elopement Wedding

    Anyone who is looking for a personable, talented, and easy going photographer will not be disappointed. Julie and her team were absolute professionals and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the results of our photos.

    Julie took both our engagement and wedding photos and we've gotten so much praise from our friends and family. As someone who has never had the opportunity to work with a professional photographer, I was a little nervous about the whole process. Posing in awkward positions in front of strangers is not something I was used to but Julie made me feel confident and was great at communicating exactly what she needed from us.

    Julie worked closely with us throughout the whole process. Due to COVID-19, we had to make lots of last minute changes and decisions and she was so helpful and supportive through that process. Ultimately, we decided on eloping instead of holding a traditional wedding (or postponing to next year) and it was really important to my wife and I that Julie really captured this more intimate wedding ceremony. Not only that, but we also decided to have our ceremony on top of a mountain, which Julie was totally down for.

    I should also mention that despite the weather being less than ideal, Julie made the best of it and really captured some breathtaking photos. I cannot understate how happy my wife and I are with these photos.

    Lastly, Julie was on time with everything. When she said she would have things done, they were finished. No excuses! She was very transparent throughout the entire process, letting us know how long she thought things would take and then following up with us without prompt.

    Julie really is the full package. Not only are you going to get great photos, but you're gonna get a photographer with wit and charm and grace!

    Truly Love Our Photos!

    We were so happy with having Julie from Sound and Sea Photography photograph our day! From the free consultation to the day-of, she was extremely kind, professional, and helpful. Julie genuinely wanted to get to know us and make sure our day went just as we envisioned it. I especially appreciated her flexibility on the day-of between COVID, our blended family, and wanting a lot of friend photos--she was happy to capture any moment we asked. Thank you Julie and team, we will cherish our photos for all the years to come!

    Sound and Sea are Awesome

    My wife and I got married last Summer. Julie and Sophia were absolutely phenomenal. They were a crucial part of the wedding planning. Julie not only introduced us to most of our other vendors, but also helped us coordinate the wedding ceremony. We initially hired our first 'day of coordinator' and had a extremely stressful experience where we were ghosted 3 weeks before the wedding. Julie really stepped up and found us an amazing 'day of coordinator' last minute. Julie and Sophia are very talented, warm, and professional. The photography and videography look incredible. I highly recommend Sound and Sea Photography!

    My husband and I got married summer of 2021 and Julie was by far our best vendor! Photography was important for us and we had been doing our research for months-Julie was by far our favorite :) Not only is she a talented photographer but she is incredibly kind and calm in high-pressure situations (ie: planning a wedding during Covid and dealing with constant change). As a mixed race couple, we had a few multi-cultural events planned on our wedding day and Julie was incredibly supportive, adaptive, and culturally sensitive. We had two ceremonies/events packed into one day for a 10-11 hour day and Julie and her team remained energetic and positive throughout. About a month before our wedding, our wedding coordinator started going dark on us and Julie helped us through this incredibly stressful situation and connected us to another coordinator who was able to step-in last minute. Julie is incredibly resourceful and knows a lot of other vendors (she also connected me to my makeup/hair vendor). Additionally, we booked her daughter Sophia to do videography and I am so glad we did-our wedding video was incredibly unique and gave the viewer the feeling that they were watching a short film about our love story.
    Hire this incredible team! Our wedding day would not have been the same without Sound and Sea Photography. Thank you so much Julie and Sophia!
