    Best Day Ever!

    Working with Julie was truly positive from the start. On my first conversation with her I knew immediately she was the one…LOL She was very knowledgeable about everything from start to finish. She gave us plenty of plan options for that day that fit exactly what we’re looking for. I’m so thankful I listened to her recommendations because she was right about our views being EPIC! (My new favorite word) Anytime I reached out with any questions or concerns she responded quickly and literally had all the answers or a piece of advice to give if that was what I needed.

    On our day it would be the first time we met, I instantly felt like we had known each other for years. She was on time and got right to work taking detail pictures of my dress and special items we had for our day. After that we got in our cars and started the day of hiking! Julie was very prepared with walkie talkies incase cell service was bad and she knew the route and were the last chance bathroom breaks were. On our hikes she encouraged us to go at our speed, I never felt rushed. She knew all the best places to take photos. I’m so thankful that she was the one to marry us, she did a great job and it was a perfect ceremony, we all (including Julie) laughed and cried with excitement. My husband hates getting his picture taken (like many men) I warned Julie of this fact and she made everything fun and seamless I don’t even think he realizes he got his pictures taken. LOL (and they all turned out beyond amazing, I’d say they are EPIC). Lastly Julie advised of the time frame of when we would be receiving our pictures and was again on time.

    The pictures are EPIC, Julie has a style that I was drawn to immediately (and why I initially booked with her), it is unique and my pictures tell a story, in the most beautifully artistic way. I will treasure them forever. When I share pictures with family and friends they are blown away and it feels so great to get that type of response from those I’m closest too.

    In short, we LOVE Julie, she is amazing in her craft and as a person, I’m so glad our paths crossed and we have thankfully booked her for our One Year Anniversary next year.

    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.

    Creativity, flexibility, comprehensive

    Julie is everything I love in a photographer - she’s creative, detailed, and overall a kind human being. She fights to fight the right shot - even if that means climbing rocks, getting wet - whatever it may be! She’s a joy to work with and I’m excited for the rest of our photos from our wedding!

    Choosing a photographer to capture the most special day of your life is hard. But from the moment I met Julie, I felt like she totally got my vision. She's so passionate about what she does and that absolutely translates to her work and how she treats her clients. We hired her to do our engagement and wedding photography and she did an amazing job capturing who we are as a couple. Our engagement session at our farm turned out beautiful! And our wedding pictures turned out even more breathtaking. She orchestrated all of our first looks and captured every single magical moment during our special day. I cannot say enough amazing things about Julie and her assistant Josh. I would recommend them to ANYONE and would hire them again in a second! Thank you, thank you, thank you Julie!!!

    An absolutely amazing photographer! Taking photos with your significant other can feel awkward but Julie made us feel so at ease and I truly had more fun than I could have imagined! She was even kind enough to give us directions on how to pose or what to do and was so fun to work with. I feel like the quality of the pictures really came down to her incredible talent and amazing personality which kept us feeling happy and relaxed rather than stiff and awkward. I would absolutely recommend her to any couple!

    I would highly recommend Jewel's Photography to our bridal couples.
    Julie is more than a photographer. She is a storyteller. Creativity and attention to detail enables Julie to tell each bride's individual story and capture memories of a very special day.
    Julie's careful adherence to the wedding timeline helped the day unfold like clockwork as she photographed with ease, allowing all vendors to successfully meet the bride's expectations and plans.
    As we share photographs from Jewel's Photography with future bridal clients, they are captured by their own vision for their special day at the farm.

    Julie is a creative force and an absolutely stunning person. Once I saw her portfolio I knew I had to meet with her. I was looking for unique engagement and wedding photos… not your run of the mill, line the bridal party up or hold hands and walk away. I knew if anyone could make that happen it was Julie. After our first meeting I absolutely adored her and knew that there was no one else who could capture our wedding to reflect us. Not only did she meet our expectations, she exceeded them beyond measure. She was able to capture our love and personality while documenting the important moments. Julie truly is the very best!!

    My mother and I found Julie at the Pink Bridal Show in Knoxville, TN. She is wonderful. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. The engagement session, which is included in the wedding packages, was essential for establishing a relationship and comfort level for our wedding. It also provided some awesome shots to hang on my walls! As for the wedding, our photographs are perfect. They captured the excitement, love, and beauty of our special day. We highly recommend her!

    My husband and I used Julie for our beautiful wedding. I was anxious about any big vendor decision like most females, but Julie put our concerns to ease from beginning to end. Julie was professional, easy to work with, easy going, creative, and brilliant in her work. She captured our day beautifully and made each big moment count. She communicates great prior to the event and therefore puts your mind at ease as your big day approaches. I would highly recommend her for any big event you have planned. She has great experience, a positive attitude, amazing ideas, and patience for any hard to get picture. We enjoyed working with her throughout our engagement and wedding, and we are so thankful for her service to us! Thank you Julie!

    I had Julie take my bridal portraits and they could not have turned out more perfect. She adds a level of comfort and ease to the entire experience; bringing in fresh, original ideas and visions as well as incorporating the classic, timeless looks to create a wide variety of cherished memories. I have never felt so beautiful and am beyond satisfied with her work. Thank you, Julie, for your outstanding work. I would recommend you to anyone!

    My husband and I were lucky to be referred to Julie from a friend who had used her as their wedding photographer! We used her for both engagement and wedding day pics and have been more than satisfied with her professionalism, how comfortable she made us feel, and of course the pictures! She is very reasonably priced and a joy to work with! We look forward to using her in the future as our family grows!

    Julie was a pleasure to work with ... very friendly, a lot of fun, and very professional. Our engagement photos and wedding photos were absolutely beautiful. She is very patient and knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her website is top notch. Along with select photos of the event, she posts blogs about the photo session and her selection of words totally describe the events of the day. The USB drive she provides (with all the photos) comes in a very nice gift tin. If you are looking for a photographer for your special event, we HIGHLY recommend Jewels Photography. You won't be sorry! Thanks Julie... we truly appreciate you! :)

    The photographer, Julie, was very professional & creative with the shots that were taken. She placed a few shots on blog with a very interesting story that told step by step what happened at the wedding. She furnished the USB drive of all the pictures. They were very good. I would definitely recommend her services.

    Coming from a wedding photography background, finding a wedding photographer was one of the biggest decisions me and my wife made. We found Julie at the Birmingham bridal show and she was more than eager to talk with each couple and try to get to know them. After talking with her and looking at her work we knew we wanted to book and engagement session and book her for our wedding. No only is she a great photographer, it's like she's been your long time friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone! She is one photographer whose work grows after every person she photographs. She just keeps getting better and better. Which is hard to believe since she's already AWESOME. Thank you so much Julie.

    Jewels did both our engagement and wedding photography, and both were amazing! She found a great place for engagement photos and took some great, creative shots. I was really impressed with her work. Her work for the wedding was even more exceptional. We had beautiful pictures of our day and the albums included in the package were spectacular. I would definitely recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.

    The engagement session included in the wedding package was a great way to get comfortable with the photographer and being in front of the camera before the wedding. Lots of great pictures from both the engagement session and wedding!
