Julep & Belle Photography

relaxed style that makes what can be a stressful time, stress free. She was very accommodating and flexible, checking in with us along the way. Day of, she and her assistant were the perfect balance of not even knowing they are there, and being assertive to make sure they get the shot. Not to mention, the pictures are gorgeous!!!

would be in good hands hiring her. She was not only accommodating with our wedding timeline, but assured us we would get all the shots we needed for the day. Her communication throughout the process was also on point. Michelle and Angelique worked perfectly in the background as needed and gave guidance when appropriate for all the staged photos. We would highly recommend Michelle of Julep & Belle Photography for anyone needing a wedding photographer in the Brooklyn and NYC area. -Gerry & Rachel Perlinski

son who is in love with love. Both my husband and I can be awkward for formal pictures - but Michelle's giddy excitement, joyful sounds and exclamations, and overall enthusiasm made us smile, giggle, and act natural. She got the pictures back to us incredibly fast and they are all amazing. Going through the pictures one by one was like reliving my favorite day and I am so thankful to have so many beautiful pictures to capture those amazing memories. Hire her! You won't regret it.

and offered suggestions to help narrow down ideas, making sure she had all the information needed for our special day. Thinking back now, if she hadn’t asked all those questions up front I don’t think the day could have gone as smoothly as it did. A bride’s mind is jam-packed with details and we are bound to forget something, so all the pre-meetings we scheduled were super helpful! I also live out of state, so Michelle scheduled FaceTime meetings, that worked for both me and my fiancé. I didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING on the wedding day. My wedding coordinator was even in a car accident while on her way to the church to prepare for the ceremony, and both Michelle and her assistant stayed until they had gotten pictures of everything promised. I know we went over on contract time because of that delay, but she stayed anyway. I appreciate her work ethic, her beautiful and sincere heart to make us feel so comfortable, and her undeniable talent. Have you seen the pictures?! Crazy good. Do yourself a favor…go with Julep & Belle. Easiest decision of wedding planning EVER.

ble with Michelle immediately while speaking to her on the telephone. Before meeting her we hired her. Our photos are incredible....we love her!

as easy to communicate with, answered all our questions, and checked in regularly in the months leading up. She even came with us to the planning meeting at our venue on a Saturday (took notes, asked questions, was super organized and helpful). We wanted to do wedding portraits on the old subway cars at the New York Transit Museum and Michelle was totally game! She contacted the museum and made sure it would go smoothly. My husband and I are not used to being the center of attention and we were both nervous the photo shoot would feel forced and awkward, but it never did. Michelle was sweet, fun, creative, and made us feel really comfortable. A couple days after the wedding we got several "sneak peak" pictures and we got ALL our photos back in just TWO WEEKS! I'm not exaggerating when I say that every single photo is at least good, the vast majority are great, and a ridiculous number are incredible. She caught every moment beautifully and authentically - none of the pictures have that generic wedding feel. They're filled with love, joy, laughter, and warmth. She was able to make us look good in any light - from halogen subway lighting at the Transit Museum to dancing in a dark cellar. The photos also have a range of styles: the portrait photos are retro, sexy, and quirky; the ceremony photos are warm, romantic, and lovely; and the dancing photos are dynamic and so FUN (you can practically hear the music). Honestly I wish I could attach 100 photos here because I can't put into words how talented Michelle is. Book her! You won't regret it!

e beautiful UK countryside we had no doubts about taking Michelle with us. Her aesthetic is the perfect balance of art and life. Her wonderful feel for natural light and her eye for a moment left us with in some truly timeless images to remember the day by. Michelle worked very closely with us before and during the wedding to bring our wedding vision to life. She captured all of the planned and candid shots we wanted and her positive and personable demeanor made the whole process a pleasure. In fact, we ended up with so many great photographs to choose from it was difficult to make a decision about which ones to print!

t great!

breeze - she was so flexible with our needs and budget. We ended up with hundreds of great photos and especially love the candid shots of us getting ready and our friends and family having fun at the reception. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again and highly recommend her work!

o remember the small details of the day but all I have to do is open our photo book and look at our beautiful pictures. Something I remember is being nervous about taking so many pictures but Michelle made it easy and fun, not just because she was already a friend, but because that is just her sweet personality! We will always think of her when we look at our pictures and that is something I am grateful for. Thanks always, Michelle!

em. Through her consultations with us in the months prior , up to our big day, she made sure that we were all on the same page by providing us with a great timeline, letting us know when and where our desired shots would occur . Her preparation made it easy for us to relax and enjoy every moment. Michelle also provided our photos to us quickly so we could share them with family and friends during the upcoming holiday. Her timeliness and efficiency makes her an easy choice for anyone planning their own wedding day.

y. She seemed to effortlessly take control of a situations which helped a lot when wrangling people for photos. She is super creative and I especially love how she worked with light. It's obvious she understands her craft and has experience. She exceeded my expectations.

and did such a great job of really getting a feel for our personalities. We did a short photoshoot the day before the wedding and she was kind and patient and got us through our initial awkwardness with aplomb. The photos of the wedding day are amazing and so much fun to go back through! We would hire Michelle again in a second!

any other - prompt with responses, super creative, a great eye for unique shots. I didn't want those typical wedding pictures and she turned my vision into a reality. I also used her for my newborn photos and my sons first bday photos and they are incredible! I can't recommend her enough!

e proposal and had a quick turnaround. I could not give her a higher recommendation.

's heard them a million times before from other brides. On the day of the wedding, she was so professional, sticking to our timelines to be sure that she got every shot. She was everywhere, from getting ready in the morning through the last dance at midnight, but her camera never felt intrusive -- she fit in so easily with the bridal party and felt more like she was celebrating with us than working all day long! She got our edited images back to us quickly, and we were just blown away by how beautiful they are -- every time we look at our wedding album we are transported back to that wonderful day. She captured the spirit of the day so well, and we cannot recommend her enough!
