Laura Sent on 10/16/2018Breathtaking photos!
Where do begin! I first met Julie and her team in 2014 when she photographed one of my girlfriends weddings. She has since photographed so many of my friends, and I knew immediately Old South Studios would be my photography team one day. My husband and I got married September 29th and we came home to find our entire photo gallery waiting! Every. single. photo is beyond what we could have imagined. Dana photographed my wedding and captured the most tender and loving moments between our family and friends and will be memories I will cherish forever. I used OSS for our engagement photos, bridal portraits, and wedding and simply wouldn't trust anyone else to capture such special moments. Julie even showed up on my wedding day on her way to photograph another wedding just to say hello. She is professional, prompt, and a total boss-woman in managing such a phenomenal studio. Working with Julie and her amazing team has been a pleasure.Old South Studios's reply:
Oh sweet, Laura! We have loved working with you so much! Your trust in our team means the world to us. You have been a dream bride! -

Julie Staley with Old South Studios is the BEST Photographer Ever
I will say right off that Julie Staley with Old South Studios is the BEST photographer you can find! After finalizing our wedding planner and our venue, The Duke Mansion, the first vendor our wedding planner (who has worked as an event planner for over 14 years) said we needed to secure was our photographer, Julie at Old South Studios. Knowing how important it is to have an A+ photographer, my daughter, her fiancé, my husband and I all met with Julie. We knew immediately Julie was the one. She not only does exquisite work, but her eye for picture taking is amazing--she is truly a master at her craft. Her pictures are timeless (not trendy)--something you can look at in 20-30 years and still love.
As important as that was to us, the real thing that hooked us was Julie's personality. She instantly makes you feel like her best friend--and she will take care of you. As busy as she is photographing weddings, she has the ability to make you feel like you are her only wedding! She is available to help you select your other vendors, answer any wedding related questions, and help you with a timeline to make sure everything goes smoothly. My daughter truly felt like Julie was her best friend and--made a girl who did not really want to be the center of attention--feel totally relaxed and happy because she knew Julie had everything under control.
Julie took Emily and Nick's engagement pictures--and they could not have been better. Julie has a way of capturing the perfect scenes and facial expressions for both formal photos--as well as informal photos--and she takes the stress out of having your picture taken--making it a fun event. Next, Julie took Emily's bridal portraits at The Duke Mansion--again PERFECT! She is so organized, knows exactly what to capture and exactly where to capture it. Julie was so professional that on-lookers thought it was a photo shoot for a model. She made Emily so at ease--and all the pictures were more than beautiful.
Next--the wedding day! Emily, and especially Nick, were not too sure whether they wanted a first look or not--and after talking to Julie, she convinced them that they would be glad they had a first look. Wow, was she right!!! As a result, the bride and groom ended up having two first looks--one before the wedding and one at the wedding. Nick said he was so nervous before the first look that he could not have imagined having it at the wedding. It was the best decision ever! Julie also captured special mother and bride photos as well as Emily's first look with her dad--which was ever so special!! All the wedding ceremony and reception pictures were perfect and taken so quickly--no one missed a beat! Julie even made sure to capture great shots of all the children in the wedding, stunning night shots of the couple outside in the courtyard, final dance pictures of the couple, and excellent shots of the couple leaving at the end of the night.
We will be forever indebted to Julie and Alyssa for capturing everything perfectly. And to top it off, Julie sent out a sneak peek of some of the pictures the day after the wedding--and she had ALL the wedding pictures completed and to us within two weeks of the wedding. I would have given Julie and Alyssa 100 stars if we could have. After seeing them photograph our wedding, it is easy to see why Julie is called upon to capture daughters two and three for some families. Julie runs a great business (Old South Studios) and is truly the BEST of the BEST! I can promise you that you will not be disappointed in any way!!!Old South Studios's reply:
Oh sweet Carol!!! I adored working with you and Emily! Your family was so gracious and kind and telling your story was MY PLEASURE!!!! Thank you so much for your kind review. It means the world to us! -

Danielle Sent on 11/07/2017We loved our experience working with Old South Studios! Julie was so organized and responsive to all of our questions. I love how Old South is set up- they have a staff of editors who take over after the photographers come back from the event. This means that you get your photos back so quickly. We got our wedding photos back after just 2 weeks! She recommended the perfect photographer for us- Lindsey. We worked with her on our engagement photos and on our wedding day. The pictures came out better than we ever could have hoped. Lindsey captured our romantic vision perfectly. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend Julie and her staff enough!

User2395406 Sent on 10/28/2015- Julie with Old South Studios is a joy and pleasure to work with! After issues with our previous less experienced photographer, we were so blessed to have found Old South Studios at the last minute in our planning season. At our first meeting she made us feel so welcomed and put at ease at her companies abilities and commitment to capturing and producing photographs that her clients are proud of and happy with. Her customer service is above reproach and I honestly felt like she cared about me, my fiancé, and our wedding. She wanted to select the perfect team to capture our special day, and with Autumn and Aleta they did just that! Even though we didn’t have the opportunity to have an engagement or bridal session with Old South, they were very comfortable to work with on our wedding day and we felt like they captured every important memory of the day (including a few bridal and romantic shots). Julie’s teams work to capture the moments between people and that was very important to us. We love their use of light and having the creative and unique pictures, but we wanted to have pictures of our family celebrating our wedding with us, and that is what we got. Their level of professionalism and commitment to their clients is exactly what we were looking for and it was worth the extra money for a good photography company. Take it from me, you will get what you pay for and if photographs are important to you and your family, go with a professional company. And if you go with Old South Studios, you will be extremely happy with the results! -
User2153850 Sent on 05/29/2015The weeks leading up to the wedding, Julie helped create structure around family portraits and was willing to hop on the phone to finalize any last details. Alyssa and Dana were great to work with! My husband and I both had nieces and nephews in photos and both Alyssa & Julie went the extra mile in making sure they were smiling. Old South Studios staff is so personable, easy to talk to, they were willing to be flexible when things didn't go according to plan and we had no control, and they were so incredibly creative with our shots. Julie and her team are incredibly talented photographers and we feel lucky that Old South was able to capture our big day.
