Julia and Nikita were truly exceptional! We are so grateful to have chosen them to document our special day with both photo and video. Julia clearly has a deep passion for her work...

I cannot recommend Julia and her team enough! She was amazing and really understood our vision for our wedding pictures. She made us feel super comfortable and the pictures turned ...
out amazing!!
Julia was super professional but also personable. She asked a lot of questions to determine what our vibe was for the wedding and our pictures. Everyone we shared our pictures with are obsessed!
Julia is by far the best photographer! Both her and her videographer were very professional and worked non-stop throughout the night. She was able to get the more goofy/difficult f...
amily members to listen and get ready for pictures in a timely manner. Typically when we take pictures together they are awkward, but Julia made it easy to pose and she knew where the best lightning and locations were for pictures. Not only was she prepared and the sweetest, she was able to deliver 500+ photos two days after the wedding!!!!! We absolutely loved every single picture, even the action shots that captured our goofy pictures. She made the pictures and venue seem lighter, artistic and romantic looking. By far one of the best decisions made was booking Julia. I would recommend her to everyone! 5/5 stars, if I could give more I would!
Julia was amazing! She brought a second photographer at our venue and was wonderful to work with. From some of the shots that she showed me on the camera on the day of, I can tell ...
that the rest will look great. I highly recommend getting her as your photographer.
Very professional! Decided to pick Julia as my photographer because of her aesthetic and she delivered an amazing job. She followed the timeline we gave her and arrived early plus ...
stayed a little later than she was hired just to get the extra sendoff shots, which she didn't have to. The whole time Julia had ideas for where the best lighting was and what poses we should do. She came prepared and had made sure she got all the important shots. Not only this, but the 500 + photos were delivered in just two days after the wedding. They all turned out beautiful!
I don’t have enough words to express how amazing Julia is. She literally gave us the most amazing photos. People honestly thought I spent over 10k just on photography alone. The pi...
ctures literally made me look and feel like a princess. Not to mention the turn around time on her photos! She had all of my wedding photos back to me within a few days and our wedding video a week later. I have friends that were married months ago and still don’t have theirs.
She is extremely talented, kind and honestly one of a kind when it comes to photos.
I promise you will only be happy if you use Fantasmic photography!!!
Great communication leading up to my wedding. She was prompt and on time for my big day. Had a whole list of photo ideas to go through prior to the wedding. Was a pleasure to work ...

OBSESSED with the pictures we got and cannot stop looking through them. She got them to us within 3 days which was such a nice surprise. Couldn’t be happier that we choose her as our photographer.
Julia has an eye and is a true artist. We are still amazed by our beautiful pictures and so greatly appreciate the expediency of the returned pictures!
I don't even know where to begin! I can't say enough good things about Julia. She was super responsive and helped me with any and all questions leading up to the event. She complet...
ely soothed all my fears and worries about the possibility of rain (even though it ended up not raining). She arrived on time and ready to start. I was running late with hair and make up but she got right to work! She jumped right in to start taking pictures of the dress and shoes. She took detail shots of my rings and decor. But the real fun started when we began the pictures of the bridal party. She was so incredibly fun and helpful! She was very good at directing hand placements and leg pops! She helped make every single picture appear candid. She even came prepared with tons of poses that I had never even considered! She sent me the final pictures just days after the wedding and I almost couldn't believe the quality. Her eye for detail, facial angles, and sheer skill blew me out of the water. I couldn't be happier with my pictures and her work! Would most definitely recommend her to any person for their professional pictures, especially weddings!
Julia was fantastic! She was very punctual and professional. Her photos were absolutely stunning. We could not be more pleased with her service.
We are beyond thrilled with our pictures from our beach wedding. Julia was able to capture our special day and really help represent the style and feel of what we were looking for...

We experienced every bride's worst nightmare when we had a rainy day forecast for the entire day! We hoped for the best, but the forecasts were correct and changes had to be made. ...
Julia was fantastic and flexible and had great suggestions for indoor photos that worked out beautifully! We asked for lots of candids and photos of our guests celebrating our special day and that's exactly what we got! From beginning to end, we highly recommend Fantasmic Photography! We had photos back quickly and everyone has loved them, especially us!! As the Mother of the Bride, I couldn't have asked for better for my only daughter on her wedding day!
Fantastic photographer! It rained on us for one of our photography sessions and she was prepared with the cutest clear umbrellas. She was very flexible and had many good poses for ...
us to try. She asked us if there were any poses that we wanted and at our wedding she got all the pictures we asked for. Again she was very professional and the pictures turned out wonderful. She also got all of the pictures back to us within 2-4 days!!! The first session she sent us two days after and the pictures from our wedding she also got to us in two days. She was very friendly and helpful. I 10000% recommended working with her. The whole experience was great. Thank you so much for helping us on our special day.
I first employed Julia for my engagement photo shoot, deciding on her over a less expensive photographer because of the difference in quality. I'm picky since I myself am a photogr...
apher. After the engagement shoot and seeing the beautiful photos, I knew I had no worries for my wedding. I'm very self-conscious but Julia made me look stunning in her pictures. She was always professional and punctual, yet very relaxed. She managed to capture the soft, warm, romantic feeling that I wanted in my photos. If you're on the fence about her, throw your other leg over and hire her! You WILL NOT regret it.
Great photography!!
Cannot recommend this photographer enough. Professional, friendly, and amazing eye for photos.

. It was a very intimate wedding only 20 people. The location was outside and some how she was able to take a very small area and make it look like we were in a national forest.

ographer, she had great ideas and was very personable. In the down time of taking photos while preparing the reception she did not hesitate to assist in setting up and even spent some moments with the children that wanted to talk with her. The photos were completed within the 5 days as promised. I will be sending anyone I know that needs a photographer to Julia. Thank you for making a bad situation into the best wedding day I could've asked for.

lia was right beside me so I didn’t need to go looking for her! The photos turned out absolutely beautiful!! I am so happy I hired her. I can’t say enough good things about her. She was affordable as well and let me tell you - it’s daunting as a bride trying to pick out a good photographer. Well look no further because Julia is your girl! The guests loved her as well. Thank you again for everything! I can’t wait to work with you in the future!

She is very talented, reliable and although we are both not very photogenic, she made us look perfect. The photos are incredible and I am so happy we picked her for our little elopement ceremony.
Thank you Iiulia! You made this day unforgettable for us in the most beautiful way!
I cannot say enough about Julia and her partner’s services. While I was searching, I found that they were not only the most cost effective, but came with two photographers while ot...
her packages only came with a single photographer. We decided to book with Fantasmic Photos, and this was the start to the best decision we made throughout our wedding process.
To begin, they were prompt in their responses before the event, arrived on time, and got right to work. We received the edited photo gallery less than 24 hours later, and the photos were phenomenal. My husband and I, along with our guests, were taken aback by the photos, their professionalism, and how dedicated they are to their work.
Soon after the wedding, I received a text from Julia with a tracking number, and she sent me a USB with a video they had compiled of the wedding. While this was not a part of the package we purchased, it was breathtakingly beautiful and sentimental.
We will absolutely be using Julia in the future, and we HIGHLY recommend her photography services.
DO IT. Hire them!!😊
