Julia Franzosa Photography

nd exploring new restaurants and travel destinations around the world. Julia is the down to earth, creative, and calm person I have ever met - all of the ideal characteristics to find in a wedding photographer!  We could not have asked for a more amazing person to capture all of the moments of our wedding day. Julia and her assistant did not miss a beat. Julia was extremely professional, patient, thoughtful, flawless communication, and had perfect locations and shots planned throughout our engagement session and wedding. Julia truly has a natural vision and talent and it shows in all of her work.  My family and I have had the hardest time picking out our very favorite photos as there are so many that are so incredible! Such a great problem to have!  We cannot thank Julia enough for our beautiful wedding photos and for being such a special part of our wedding day. We have received so many compliments about how amazing our photos turned out. Thank you for working with us and helping us create personalized touches, an amazing wedding day, and truly unforgettable memories with all of our family and friends. It was a weekend we will never forget, thanks to you and your amazing photos that will forever document our special day!

and my mom started to cry from the raw emotions present in the images, to after the wedding when Julia was timing delivering our wedding photos around my board schedule, she is an incredibly kind person that wants to make your day as special as possible. To be honest, I was a completely indecisive bride and I spoke to many wedding photographers. However, when I met with Julia, everything clicked and I instantly trusted her to capture the most important day of my life. And even more so than that, Julia cared so much about making our day magical. You will find that many professionals are there to get the job done and that's it. With Julia, you gain a friend that makes you feel so comfortable taking pictures and portraits (which otherwise can just be totally awkward). She was also so generous with helping me plan wedding day timelines, photo list requests, and everything else! I am in awe of her talent and I have been stopped/approached by many wedding vendors/friends asking who my photographer was because our photos were just that remarkable. There is no better wedding photographer in Chicago and you cannot go wrong with choosing Julia.

before, and she really was able to put us at ease. And of course our pictures turned out beautiful. On our wedding day, she was able to blend in and take beautiful photos without feeling like you were followed by paparazzi! She even killed the bugs that were crawling up my wedding dress in the park! I would highly recommend her for your event, you won't regret it!

ew right away that we wanted to work with her. Not only were we extremely impressed by her work when she showed us some of her sample wedding albums (all of them absolutely gorgeous!), but we were equally as impressed by Julia as a person-she is very friendly, smart and the ultimate professional. My husband (then fiance) and I had a great time working with Julia during our engagement photo session--and I knew right away from the way that Julia immediately makes you feel comfortable and at ease when taking a series of pictures that she was the perfect photographer for us. Julia captured some great images of us during the engagement photo session that we used for our website, and we received many compliments from family & friends on the pictures. On our actual wedding day--hard to believe that it is almost a month ago now (12.13.14)--we had a great time working with Julia. She and her team captured some fantastic images of us while we were getting ready, during our first look, at the ceremony and then at the reception. One of my favorite aspects of Julia's work is how beautiful and natural her photographs are--she truly captures genuine human emotion in all of her pictures. I absolutely love her work and feel beyond lucky to have had her as our wedding photographer. I would HIGHLY recommend Julia to anyone who is looking for an outstanding wedding photographer who is not only incredibly talented, but really fun to work with too.

We worked with Julia to shoot our engagement photos (in 3 separate sessions) and then our day-of, getting ready, pre-ceremony wedding shoot. Her style is so romantic, but fresh and modern at the same time. She edits photos extremely fast and delivers them in professional manner. Julia put us at ease and made us laugh throughout each photo-shooting experience, when we felt awkward or nervous. It was so much fun having her be a part of our big day and I can't wait to work with her again soon. Would love to recommend her to any bride!
