  • "She took the image from my brain and snapped a copy for the world to see. THAT is art. She captured moments in time where my future kids will look at and can read the story of our love."

    genesis + anthony

  • "Every time we look at the photos from that day, we immediately transport back to that moment of pure happiness. Incredible photographer, amazing human!"

    scottie + danielle

  • "We instantly bonded with Julia and she truly felt like a member of our family.  We even shared life stories with each other, which made our shoot feel so natural and comfortable. She has a way of making you forget there’s a camera in front of you."

    tim & izzy

  • "Julia captured the feel of our big day so perfectly. The reveal, the guests' reactions, the tears in my eyes as I walked down the aisle. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our big day!"
