I’m so freakin excited

we are already at this stage!!

You must have looked at my work and made a connection to it.

There is NO better compliment I could get than a couple trusting me to document their love story. But first things first, we gotta be a good fit because I wanna be more than just a photographer for you.

What does that mean?

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

That you’ll let me in and document the perfectly imperfect, the moments you’re there for, and the ones you miss. I wanna capture 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.

The big moments and the little ones.

This is why I spend so much time getting to know you!

I want to be more than just another vendor you check off your list

I want to understand your day, your people, and the moments that actually matter to you.

How we will get there

  • 01 Jump on a call

    I want your wedding day to feel relaxed, fun, and like we’re already old friends.

    We’ll talk about your story, how you met, what you love doing together, and anything you’re excited or curious about.

  • 02 Make things official

    I offer a few collections to keep things simple, and during our call we’ll talk through your plans so I can recommend the best fit for your day.

    Once you're ready, securing your date simply requires a $1,750 retainer.

  • 03 Engagement Session

    My process is very hands on and personable. By now we’ve probably connected on Instagram and started getting a feel for each other.

    Next, I’ll send a questionnaire so we can plan a personalized engagement session, not just meeting at a random park.

  • 04 Timeline 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 (Optional) Reveal Party

    The fun continues even after the wedding!

    Either with friends, family, or just the two of you.

    We laugh, cry, and relive the day on a big screen TV with snacks and drinks, then move into an (optional) relaxed ordering session for heirloom albums.

What is a Reveal Party, you ask?!

Great Question! Let me show you…

  • 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.

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

  • 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.”

  • 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!
