From the moment I came across Julia's photography, I knew she was the wedding photographer for me. Her moody style was exactly what I had envisioned, and after our first Zoom call,...
I knew we were making the right choice. She immediately put me at ease and made me feel confident about the entire process.
Planning our Ohio wedding from another state could have been incredibly stressful, but Julia went above and beyond every step of the way. She was not just our photographer; she became someone I genuinely trusted. She offered amazing venue recommendations, provided input on outfits for our engagement session, answered every question, and made me feel supported. She has an incredible way of making you feel like your best friend is behind the camera.
The morning of our wedding, I found out of wedding planner had food poisoning. There was a small feeling of panic, but the moment Julia arrived at the venue, I felt way more at ease. She stepped in without missing a beat, kept things moving smoothly, and made me forget all of the stress. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her! When we received our gallery, we were blown away. She preserved not only the big moments but also the little in-between moments that made our wedding special.
Julia is one of the kindest, most talented, and most genuine people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She creates an experience that makes you feel seen, comfortable, and completely yourself. Choosing her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and I cannot recommend her enough. I would choose her a thousand times over!
Working with Julia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she completely understood our vision and absolutely nailed the brief. On the wedd...
ing day, she was organized, thorough, and encouraging, which made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She coordinated seamlessly with her second shooter and team, kept the shot list perfectly on track, and managed a very large group for posed pictures with ease and kindness.
Julia curated a wedding gallery that truly reflects our style while adding her own artistic touch. The result is something unique and beautiful that feels entirely ours. We have never received so many compliments in our lives, every photo is a reminder of how special the day felt. Best of all, Julia worked quickly. She sent us preview pictures within 24 hours of the wedding, and she turned around the rest of the photos quickly too, taking only a few months to edit. She didn't compromise quality and everything is cohesive. Truly stunning!
Her energy was warm, uplifting, and genuine throughout the process. We are endlessly grateful for the memories she captured, and we would work with her in every lifetime
A photographer was number 1 on my list of importance for my wedding day. I didn’t do all of the traditional stuff, didn’t want a ton of posed photos and really wanted mine and my ...
husband’s personalities and sheer happiness to come through in photos. Julia is pure magic! Looking back through our pictures all of those feelings came rushing back. Not to mention I’ve never felt so beautiful, natural, and comfortable in front of a camera in my entire life! I didn’t have to think or try to pose and be something I’m not. Julia created a perfect atmosphere and captured our natural joy without all of the awkwardness. You’ll leave your wedding with a new friend and the most stunning photos heading your way! 1000/10 recommend.
We had the best time working with Julia for our destination wedding, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! From the very first consultation, Julia made us feel confide...
nt and excited about having her capture our special day in the Dominican Republic. She was incredibly flexible, helping us with everything from timeline coordination to location scouting, which made the planning process so much easier.
The photos turned out beyond beautiful — every shot was stunning, and the way she captured the emotions and details of the day was truly remarkable. Julia managed to perfectly capture the beauty of both the location and the emotions of the day, with stunning candid shots and gorgeous portraits that we’ll cherish forever. We’ve received so many compliments on how amazing the photos are. What really stood out was Julia’s ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera, even in the tropical 90 degree heat!
I highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a talented, professional photographer who goes above and beyond to make sure every moment is beautifully preserved. Thank you for making our wedding day even more unforgettable!
Julia photographed our wedding in October 2024, and I can say wholeheartedly that if you want stunning, high-quality photos and a photographer that goes above and beyond in every s...
tep leading up to your event, she is your person. I will mostly let the pictures speak for themselves, but they are exactly what I was hoping for and much more. Julia is also just all-around amazing and a total professional- she was a GREAT help with our wedding timeline, very responsive, provided so many helpful resources, and was the best hype woman you could ask for. For both our engagement pictures and the day of she brought a fantastic energy and made the whole process SO fun and completely stress-free. I can't imagine anyone else capturing our wedding day so perfectly, and couldn't recommend her enough!
If you are wanting wedding photos that capture your love, happiness, desire, and dedication to one another, Julia is your person!! Leading up to the big day she checked in multiple...
times to make sure she was capturing my vision. Day of, she was not only a fun and energetic photographer but also made sure all of my needs were met as well. I always had a drink in my hand thanks to her! She quickly became apart of my family which helped everyone enjoy taking photos even more. The amount of compliments I got for hiring such an incredible photographer who brought the perfect energy to the day goes to show how important it is to hire someone like Julia. She mentioned how happy and smile-ly my husband looked in photos and he said it was because of her making the experience so much fun!! I am not overestimating when I say she should be a world famous photographer!! She truly makes the entire day better and captures the most AMAZING photos. We sobbed when we saw them for the first time because you could truly see our love that she captures!! After experiencing the day with her and the moments she captures, I had MULTIPLE people tell me they will fly her out to their weddings without even a thought. I honestly cannot recommend Julia enough!! But please don’t make her too busy that we can’t hire her for more photos:)
Julia is AMAZING! Cannot say it enough. She was so prompt and easy to get in touch with from day one. From the minute we were in contact, we knew we had made the right choice for a...
photographer. My husband and I aren’t photo people but Julia made us feel so comfortable and excited for the entire experience. She is definitely the ultimate hype woman and she makes it a super fun experience! She was always excited and up for anything with her photos (seriously no vision is too crazy for her to at least try). She listened to us every step of the way of what we did and did not want for photos and she captured exactly what we wanted every time. On top of how wonderful she is to work with, she is super communicative and works quickly to get you your photos. I’ve heard horror stories of photos taking 2-4 months to get back but Julia got us our album in 3 weeks. And let me tell you, the photos were even better than we could have expected. This woman knows how to capture the perfect lighting and the essence of what you want. We cannot say enough about how amazing she is both as a photographer and as a person. You will not be disappointed booking her to capture your special moments!
Julia couldn't have been more perfect for our event. Her vision, communication, and style were unmatched for our ceremony and reception venues, while her energy, enthusiasm, and pa...
ssion were infectious to everyone involved. She made taking awkward engagement photos fun and entertaining, and was a joy to work with every step of the way. Book her immediately!
Julia is seriously the ABSOLUTE BEST— not only in her talent as a photographer but she is also a literal gem of a person. She went above and beyond to help us prepare for our event...
s and helped talk me down and work through my timeline panic just a few days before! We easily connected with her on a personal level, and she made an impact on everyone at our wedding. Julia’s positive energy is infectious and she truly made us all feel so comfortable. (I would be remiss to not include that we had an additional photographer, who was amazing, fit right into the vibe, and her photos were STUNNING!) I will ALWAYS recommend Julia’s Shuttermoments for any photography needs ever. 10/10, 100% recommend.
Julia makes even the most camera-shy people comfortable during her photo shoots and her photos will never disappoint! She is a true artist and always has great ideas on how to make...
your photoshoot beautiful. She’s very considerate of her clients and went above and beyond my expectations to make our shoot comfortable. Even though she works full time as a teacher outside of photography, she is 100% present during the shoot and gets the photos back to you quickly. I couldn’t recommend her enough if you want a fun photographer who will deliver gorgeous photos!!
Words can truly not describe this wonderful woman. Julia is not only the best photographer I have ever seen BUT she is also the most amazing person I have ever met. I was lost when...
searching for a photographer yet just happened to come across Julia. Immediately I knew I wanted her as my photographer. She was instantly warm, kind, and passionate for her work and for capturing love in its truest form. She was always there for a shoulder to lean on, to give advice, and to answer any questions. You cannot go wrong with choosing Julia for any photographs needed. Make this your easiest decision and chose Julia! 🖤
If she’s available on your day, book her. The best vendor I had hands down. Amazing work, great personality. So easy going and such a sweet soul. I had an indoor wedding and I was ...
so worried my pictures wouldn’t have the warm/golden feel that I love due to a lack of sunlight, yet the photos Julia gave us were beautiful and warm. She captured so many amazing memories for us. My husband and I are pretty quiet people, and she was so adaptive to our personalities and made us comfortable. I will be booking Julia for all my photoshoot needs in the future. Worth every penny!!!
I couldn't wait any longer because I love this lady! So far we've only had our engagement shoot but I'll give her another 5 stars for the wedding too. She is super friendly and eas...

Julia is a genius behind the camera. She’s incredibly professional, responsive, kind, and all around one of the most genuine souls around. My husband and I are not the type to take...
pictures on the regular so we are definitely not the most comfortable around a camera. However, Julia made the process so comfortable and fun that our pictures ended up flawless. I could not recommend her talents enough! The best part— you’ll end up with an amazing friendship at the end of it. Love this gem of a business lady! Please do not second guess her— you will adore her and the end product.
BOOK THIS WOMAN!!! Julia shot my wedding last weekend, and I could not praise her enough.
From the time I booked with her, she was enthusiastic about the wedding and offered her h...
elp not only with choosing photo shots but also with wedding planning. She kept in contact with me throughout the planning process which was nice! She is extremely talented, and is so much fun to shoot with! She makes the shoot comfortable and easy, she is energetic and hypes you up. She directs posts which makes the shoot a no brainer! She also had several pictures to me the same day! I can’t wait to do more shoots with her in the future!
Julia was absolutely amazing! My fiancé and I felt so comfortable with her and she made the entire experience feel natural. She knew just how to pose us in ways that really complim...
ented our appearance, too. The photos turned out wonderfully! I loved her editing style because it adds such a warmth to the photos as well. I’m so glad Julia could help us capture such beautiful engagement photos!
I’m very shy when it comes to pictures and Julia made me feel so comfortable that I opened up right away. She truly makes this feel so “normal”. Not some stranger following you aro...

Our session with Julia was definitely my all time favorite. Julia is very professional and has a personality that just makes you comfortable the very moment she arrives. There’s no...
stiff posing. Each “pose” had some fluid motion to capture the true raw moment. The photos came out looking flawless and very genuine. From the moment I messaged her and still to this point, Julia has consistently stayed in contact with us. She shares multiple sneak peeks while she’s editing your images so you can enjoy them during the wait. No amount of words can say how thankful I am that we choose Julia! You will NOT regret it.
