SO...YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED.

First of all, congratulations.

There are thousands of photographers you could have reached out to, and the fact that you're here means the world to me.

Before we talk packages, timelines, or next steps, I want you to know what it's actually like to work together and why that matters just as much as the photos themselves.

Because if we're doing this right, I'm not just showing up with a camera.

I'm stepping into one of the most meaningful days of your life.

It means you’ve gotta be okay with me capturing all the messy stuff.

It means trusting me with the perfectly imperfect moments.

The ones you expect.

And the ones you never even notice happening.

I want it all.

I wanna capture your Dad embarrassingly smoochin’ you on your cheek on your wedding day.
Your crazy, windblown hair across your face as you read your vows.
The Taco Bell run you make mid-wedding day.
Your eighty-something-year-old Grandma wildly gettin’ down on the dance floor.
The unexpected raindrops streaming down your cheeks.

Because someday, these are the moments you'll miss the most.

I'M HERE FOR MORE THAN THE PHOTOS.

The more I know about the people you love and the moments that matter most, the better I can tell your story in a way that feels true to you.

HERE'S HOW WE GET THERE.

  • A bride and groom standing on a grassy cliff overlooking the ocean, with a large rock formation in the background, during a wedding ceremony on a sunny day.

    01 LET'S CHAT.

    This is where we get to know each other, talk through your wedding vision, and answer any questions you have.

    By the end of our call, you'll know if we're the right fit.

  • A bride and an older man, possibly her father, standing together in front of a large window with curtains. The bride is visibly emotional, wiping her tears, while the man looks at her with a gentle smile. The scene appears to be in a well-lit room with ornate wall sconces and patterned furniture.

    02 LET'S MAKE IT OFFICIAL.

    Once you're ready, a signed contract and a $ 1,750 retainer officially reserve your wedding date.

    Then the fun begins.

  • Three women dressed in beige and light-colored dresses, with the middle woman wearing a white lace dress, standing behind a large floral arrangement with white and cream-colored roses and green foliage.

    03 ENGAGEMENT SESSION

    This is our chance to get comfortable together before the wedding day.

    I'll learn how you naturally interact, and you'll walk into your wedding already knowing what to expect.

  • Wedding day timetable and family portrait plan for the Esteva-Robinson wedding, including schedule of events, portrait locations, and family member details.

    04 WEDDING PLANNING

    I’m extremely organized and know the ropes, helping you plan your day from start to finish so everything runs smoothly and you get the most time together.

    Here’s an example of the timeline I’ll help you build.

  • 05 THE BEST DAY EVER!

    Be fully present while I document the big moments, the little moments, and everything in between.

  • A bride and groom holding hands and smiling as they walk down the aisle at their wedding, surrounded by friends and family in an outdoor setting with lush greenery and floral decorations.

    06 (Optional) Reveal Party

    The fun doesn't stop after the wedding! Gather with family, friends, or enjoy a cozy date night as we relive your day together for the first time.

    If you'd like, we'll finish the evening by designing your heirloom album together.

What is a Reveal Party, you ask?!

Great Question! Let me show you…

  • A bride and groom share a kiss under an outdoor wooden pergola during their wedding, surrounded by trees and garden plants.

    Julie as a photographer is extremely talented, dedicated, and will go above and beyond for your photos. Like she’ll fully put herself in a bush if it means a good picture.

  • A bride kneeling and a young girl standing in front of her, inside a cozy, decorated space with a white shelf, plants, and a vintage market sign, during a wedding moment.

    What truly sets Julie apart is her ability to not only capture the moments but also the emotions

  • A bride and groom kissing outdoors in front of a fountain, surrounded by green trees and bushes, during a wedding ceremony.

    I loved her energy of “We’re friends just vibing, but also I’m going to tell you what to do because I know exactly what I’m doing.”

  • A bride in a white wedding dress holding a bouquet of white flowers stands on a staircase, looking to the side. A groom in a dark suit sits on a bench beneath her, looking forward, in a room with large windows and decorative wooden and white paneling.

    She listened attentively to our vision and preferences, and her well-timed reminders throughout the planning process ensured that no detail was overlooked.

 FAQs

  • Since 2015. I started with Maternity + Newborns, but fell in love with weddings back in 2017.

  • October 2022 I hit my 100th wedding photographed mark! So looking forward to 100+ more!!

  • I personally would rather have you add on an additional hour with me over hiring a second photographer (who tends to be a newer/less experienced Wedding Photographer) I talk about everything over on my blog too: Pros + Cons of a Second Photographer

  • Short answer: YES! My whole business is built around the words, “Fun + Personable” and that’s exactly what it will be. Plus, we get to know each other a little bit more and once you feel (more) comfortable around me, it allows for more relaxed, candid, storytelling photos. You can find more on my blog HERE!

  • Dual Card Slots are the main thing you need to know. If my camera(s) do not have this…DEALBREAKER! All my camera bodies have Dual Card Slots which means every photo I take, it writes to two cards. Double Backup + security for you. Otherwise, I’m a Canon girl and have gone mirrorless!

  • Yes! Albums + Wood Photo Box. I help you design + order everything and most of everything happens after the wedding. I can even help you order mounted prints outside of your store in your online gallery. You can share with friends and family and they can make orders too! Easy peasy!!

  • Yes! There will be a non-refundable retainer of $1,750 that will go towards your balance. I set you up on a payment plan through my CRM Software, but you may have flexibility as needed as long as the balance is paid in full 30 days prior to the wedding.

  • I really hope this NEVER happens, but if for some instance, let’s say I break my leg well…then I will hire someone (at my expense, you didn’t break my leg (I hope!! hahaha) and they help me throughout the day. Or let’s say absolute worst case, I can’t be there…well, I will hire an associate photographer who will shoot the wedding for me, but I will still edit all the photos.

  • Let me know if you want to add on anything additional to your base package of 8 hours, 1 photographer and I will then send you what’s called a “Proposal.” as long as I have both emails. Once we sign and pay that, the date is officially YOURS! Did you make sure I have your date available though?? CHECK HERE!
