Julia is so talented! My partner and I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. Julia captured every detail of the day, start to finish. She is very professional, a great communicator, and had an organized plan to make sure all of the most important memories were captured. We can't recommend Julia enough!
Julia was the wedding photographer for me and my now-wife's wedding and she was absolutely fantastic!
Julia was professional start to finish, while also making everyone feel calm and comfortable. Most importantly, she captured all the love, joy, and beauty from our special day.
10/10 would recommend! (And definitely a great choice for LGBTQ+ couples!)
WE LOVE JULIA! We asked her to mostly be a fly on the wall at our fun-centric campground wedding, and she captured tons of really joyful, special moments. It's like she knew exactly where to be, when - and with film! Julia was super chill and everyone loved having her around. She made us feel super comfy during the posed photos - not our forte! - and floated throughout the rest of the party with ease. Julia was a great communicator in the months leading up to the wedding, too. She adjusted graciously when we had to change plans, and she was always quick and friendly in her messages. She sent us 15 amazing starter pics the night of the wedding and the rest within a few weeks. We love every shot and feel so lucky to have found her. Hire Julia! 100% recommend!
I am so happy we chose Julia as our photographer. She took beautiful photos of us that we will cherish forever. She has an incredible knack for capturing joy and emotion. Every photo she took put a smile on my face and made me feel like I was right back in the moment. Her personality is both calm and fun. I appreciated how flexible she was on our big day. We had to make some changes to timeline and she rolled with it without batting an eye. She was also very prompt in all communication and even gave us sneak peak photos the night of the wedding! All of our photos got to us in record time. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Work with Julia, you won’t regret it!
Julia’s art went above and beyond our wildest dreams of what our wedding photography could be. She worked within our budget and timeline in a way that made all the difference when I was a stressed-out bride overthinking everything. She had a relaxing and professional energy that my husband and I both appreciated so much. One of the things I felt most grateful to have her input on were subtle adjustments and suggestions about hand placement and body position that elevated our portraits to an immediate timeless quality. Not only that, she managed to find a beautiful natural backdrop outside of our venue that looked like a completely different location! The framing, composition, and dynamic qualities in each shot of our ceremony and reception are absolutely gorgeous. I don’t know how she’s able to work so efficiently and capture so many different moments and angles, but the treasure trove we received blew us away! We would and will recommend Julia to anyone looking for a professional and personal photographer.
Julia made me and my wife feel so safe and comfortable during out engagement session and on our wedding day. We love the candid and natural photos she capture of us and our family & friends. We are so happy to have these pictures as our forever memories. We would recommend her over and over again!
Julia photographed our intimate elopement at the Seattle courthouse (with some very beautiful locations sprinkled in before/after!) and I can't recommend her more highly. She truly was such a special part of an already extremely special day. Before the wedding day, Julia was incredibly helpful with providing input/guidance on locations and scheduling to help us flush out our general idea for the day. Day of, Julia was fun, personable, and professional. And she was so incredibly skilled at ensuring we stayed on track of our timing, and helping us navigate organically through various poses and backdrops. The end result in the photos she delivered was more than I could have asked for. (As my dad said: "They look like movie posters!" and were "so romantic"). I never thought I'd want to hang pictures from my wedding all over my home, but I absolutely do now! Julia captured such special moments, beautiful locations, and the genuine emotions we felt throughout the day in an extremely artful, natural way. I'm so grateful we chose her as our photographer and would love to work with her again!
We absolutely loved working with Julia. She brought joy, calm and top notch professionalism every step of the way. She's easy to work with, on top of all the details, an excellent communicator and wonderful photographer. She made our special day even more memorable.
Julia was amazing to work with! She was so prompt with communication. She made our engagement and wedding photo sessions feel so natural and relaxed. All of the photos she took were absolutely gorgeous! It was an honor to work with her. You will not regret booking Julia as your photographer. She is a very gifted and professional artist!
Our experience with Julia throughout was 10/10. Julia is professional, fun, easy to work with and really knows what she is doing. On top of this her prices are extremely reasonable. Our wedding was so beautifully captured, she didn't miss a moment. We were worried about the awkwardness of having our photos taken but she made us feel so comfortable in the moment. We are so happy that we went with Julia to photograph our wedding, and you will be too!
Working with Julia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!! We LOVE our photos!!! From our initial meeting with her, to our engagement photos, and throughout our wedding day, Julia was an absolute delight, professional, and made us feel so comfortable. She was always on top of email communication, provided tips and guidance when we asked for it, and delivered our final wedding photos within a month, in a thoughtfully organized website that we could share with friends and family, and download. Julia was our first choice for photographers and we were totally over the moon that she joined us for our wedding.
Working with Julia was just a dream! She was so helpful in guiding us in the experience, with lots of incredible suggestions to help us in our planning and timeline. We are just so in love with our photos, and they feel so true to the experience of the day - candid and full of joy. Also, Julia was such a calm and reassuring presence throughout the day. For someone who doesn't always love being the center of attention or having their photo taken, this was a big deal. We trusted we could just live in the moment knowing we'd have such lovely photos to look back at for years to come! We love them all so much, it took us hours to narrow down our favorites - that's how good she is! She got every shot we wanted, AND MORE!
She was so responsive and helpful in the time leading up to the wedding. Our guests were really impressed with her too. Looking back at the photos, i'm shocked at all the moments she was able to capture - things that felt like they happened in an instant have multiple point of views. She somehow managed to be everywhere all at once.
I had found Julia through a friend and followed her on instagram for a few years, knowing she would hopefully one day capture our wedding. It was better than I could have dreamed and we are so grateful to have worked with someone as caring and as talented as Julia! You'll be so happy you chose Julia to capture such an important day.
Working with Julia was a wonderful experience! She was prompt in her responses and provided great guidance and suggestions. She got all the shots we wanted and more. She was great about coordinating family members of all ages and temperaments for photos. Our families were impressed with how efficiently we made it through A LOT of family photos.
Julia was very quick in getting us a good number of sneak peak photos and had the full album ready for us earlier then we had expected. Her photo sharing platform is easy to use.
She has a fun and calming energy and integrated herself seamlessly into the wedding. We love our photos and can't wait to work with her more in the future!
I'm typing this with tears in my eyes looking at our gallery from Julia. This woman is the best in the biz. The joy, professionalism, knowledge and love she brings to her work is unmatched, and it completely shows in our photos. Julia captured the best day of our lives so perfectly and I cannot say enough incredible things about working with her. Do not look any further for your photography needs—I promise you, she's it.
It's often said that your wedding day is the best day of your life. While it was, and we felt it every minute, it's even better to have the perfect memories captured in photographs. Julia not only takes perfect photos, but also helped with keeping everything orderly and fun. Her quirks and lovely personality were such a pleasant addition to our day. (And she came all the way out to the East Coast for us!) Our friends recommended her to us and we can't wait to recommend her to the next lucky couple. Book her.
It was a pleasure working with Julia. She and her assistant had a lot of good ideas for pictures, knew the best spots near our venue, and were genuinely fun to work with. Not to mention the photos came out looking beautiful! Thank you Julia!
Julia was absolutely a dream to work with! She has such a great energy and did such a great job engaging and connecting with us and our wedding guests to bring out the best photos. We are absolutely obsessed with her photos and can't stop admiring the high quality and authenticity she was able to capture. We would highly recommend her to anyone for any event! We loved getting to work with her and we will cherish our wedding photos forever!
Julia was the picture-perfect photographer for our wedding! She was so friendly and helpful during the lead-up to the wedding itself, and made sure that we were comfortable and prepared with clear expectations and guidelines. On the day, she was punctual, professional, and pleasant in every interaction, and showed an astonishing ability to be completely invisible while still capturing every imaginable shot and angle we could have wanted throughout the ceremony and beyond.
When photographing the Bridal Party, families, and the bride and groom, she was thorough while remaining efficient and conscientious of time, and we got through every set of photos in well under the time we had budgeted, giving us even more breathing room and making it a comfortable and low-stress part of the wedding day.
Julia was able to emphasize the joy of moment and made everyone feel comfortable and confident without deemphasizing the bodies of the people she was working with. Following the wedding, Julia provided us with our finished photos weeks earlier than we were expecting, and they were even more beautiful than we had expected! We would highly recommend her work to anyone, and we are extremely grateful that we had her as part of our wedding day.
I cannot recommend Julia enough! Who knew so much talent and sweetness could come in one amazing package. I spent 2 years planning a pandemic wedding and Julia was so supportive the entire way. Not only that, but she got the most incredible shots and always sent sneak peeks of what we had to look forward to!
Julia was an absolute joy to work with! From the early planning stages to the day of and delivery of our final photos, she was professional, energetic, easy to get along with, and captured the most amazing memories. As we were going through our photos from the wedding day my husband and I kept saying that we didn’t even realize she was there taking the pictures but they were all such intimate photos that captured the emotion from the day. She gave good prompts and guidance for positioning of the formal portraits while still allowing us to be ourselves and not look posed. She was prompt with the delivery of engagement photos and wedding photos – she even gave us a sneak peak the night of the wedding! Julia, thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job. Our photos are truly treasured. Everyone else, Hire Julia!!!
Julia was an absolute DREAM to work with. She was such a calm, natural and encouraging presence for us on our wedding day! We knew right from the start that we wanted her to be our photographer. When we first met over Zoom, we fell in love with her desire to photograph the day as it happens, her eye for capturing candid, real moments, and her warm and welcoming personality. She was so graciously amenable to us when we had to postpone our wedding and was gratefully available on our new day! She kept us at ease at our engagement photo shoot despite us being nervous and awkward in photos, and they turned out beautifully. I loved how she had my husband and I get smiling or laughing naturally with each other. It made the photos that much more real! On our wedding day, Julia was so kind, calm, encouraging, and patient! She effortlessly worked through our photo lists and accommodated many kiddos and large groups for what turned out to be excellent photos. The more I look at them, the more I love them. She captured such special moments throughout the day for us that we will cherish for a lifetime. I cannot recommend Julia more!
We hired Julia to photograph our wedding and she was an absolute dream to work with. From the beginning, Julia was generous with her time and so easy to talk to as we worked out the initial details and then changed everything due to Covid.
Because of our reschedule Julia was kind enough to offer an engagement shoot near our initial venue on Capitol Hill so we could capture some of the pictures we thought we would take on our wedding day. It made us feel like nothing was missed, even though we had to change our plans.
On the day of the wedding Julia made sure we had time and space to capture all of the important moments, and the small ones that may have other wise been forgotten in the blur of the day.
I highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a talented photographer and a caring person to have on your team as you plan your big event.
Julia is an absolute joy to work with- from our first meeting with her to receiving our final gallery, we felt so cared for, valued, and seen through her incredible photography process! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, captured candid moments perfectly, and retained the beauty and vibrancy of color we wanted to showcase on our wedding day. 10/10 would hire Julia again for all future life events we want to capture!
Julia was awesome to work with and my wife and I are happy and grateful that she was our wedding photographer. She is quick to respond and is answers any questions, no matter how silly they may be. She is also extremely easy to work with and she definitely does not add to the stress of an already hectic day. We would highly recommend her!
We cannot recommend Julia enough! After browsing through photographers’ portfolios, we were struck by how skillfully Julia captures each couple’s unique personalities and special moments. After our venue, she was the first vendor we booked. We knew that we wanted to prioritize our photographer since you’ll look at your wedding photos for the rest of your life!
Due to COVID-19, we had to re-plan and then re-re-plan our wedding. Julia was always responsive, supportive, and positive. We are in the Seattle area, where she has tons of experience and knows great places to shoot. Even our other vendors rave about Julia – which is when you really know you’ve picked a good one! While rescheduling, other vendors made us feel like a checkbook, but Julia was ALWAYS empathetic and gave us as much flexibility as she could. In the end, we would have planned our microwedding around her availability to ensure that she could be our photographer. She shared a sneak peek of our photos the night of the wedding and we were able to get announcements printed from those incredible shots, and she shared our final virtual gallery within 3 weeks! We have gotten countless comments from our friends and family about how the photos are PERFECT – they feel like us, they are beautiful, and they capture our day.
Choose Julia!
When we started wedding planning, I knew my first vendor before we picked a venue! After following her work for a while, I was over the moon that we got to work with Julia to capture our big day and I could not recommend Julia enough! Through all of the uncertainty of COVID-19, we always knew Julia would calm our nerves. We changed our plans multiple times and she adapted to each and every new idea and curveball that came our way. Once the big day arrived, it was just a joy to have Julia capture our day. Every moment felt organic and relaxed. Never once did we feel posed or awkward for any picture we took. And the PHOTOS!!! When we got our sneak peek, I was blown away by how stunning each photo was. Once we got our gallery, it was so hard to pick favorites because each photo was incredible. We will cherish these photos forever and we have Julia to thank!
If you are getting married or engaged, Julia Kinnunen Photography is 100 % the business to hire for all your picture taking needs! Trying to get married during a global pandemic is already hard and stressful enough, but Julia was there to help every step of the way. She was able to change her schedule with little notice and offered so much advise about all things wedding, not just photography. She is so understanding, so caring, and so flexible... Just an absolute delight to have on your team for the big day! Trust me, you will not be sorry if you hire Julia and your money will be well spent!
We used Julia for both engagement and wedding photos - and she was nothing but a pleasure to work with! My Katie is really nervous in front of the camera, but Julia was able to put her at ease. She's a calming, supportive presence to have around - and because we had to change our wedding location 3 times (including the morning of, due to wildfire smoke), I really REALLY appreciated her flexibility! I am a photographer myself so I am picky about photos, but I would highly recommend Julia to anyone - the memories she beautifully captured for us on our big day are absolutely priceless and I can never thank her enough.
Julia was an absolute dream to work with, starting from our very first communication with her! She is so easy to connect with that she never felt like a stranger, even when we first met her. We were originally supposed to get married March 2020, and had to shift gears and replan everything multiple times in light of coronavirus. She was patient and accommodating and so helpful every step of the way, and it meant so much to have her on our team! Not only is she the most warm and lovely person to work with, but she is crazy talented. She absolutely blew us away with both our engagement photos and our wedding photos! Everyone who has seen our photos has commented on how stunning they are and wanted to know more about the talent behind them. Julia is truly one of a kind and we wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone looking for a photographer!
Julia has been an absolute joy to work with! She's been so understanding and truly cares about capturing little moments. Our engagement photos were stunning - we had to reschedule due to rain, but it ended up working out perfectly as we had a beautiful, sunny fall morning. Due to COVID-19, we had to reschedule the full wedding ceremony and reception and had a 'minimony' that she beautifully captured. Her dedication and passion truly shine through, and I'm excited to work with her again next year!
I've waited too long to write this review for fear that I wouldn't be able to do Julia justice! There are just so many positive things to say about our experience–I can't recommend her enough! We absolutely loved working with her. Not only is she incredibly taletned, she is responsive, professional, friendly, warm and someone who puts you immediately at ease. For two people who are relatively uncomfortable in front of a camera, she made us feel like superstars and the pictures she took of our private family ceremony are totally exceeded anything we could have ever hoped for. The moments she captured fill me with emotion and joy every time I look at them. Forever grateful for the chance to work with Julia <3
Julia is AMAZING! I’ve been recommending Julia to couples long before I chose her to be my wedding photographer. Not only are her photos heavenly, but her professionalism and care for your big day is one of a kind. She really takes the time to make sure that she captures all of the special moments you want to cherish and takes so much of the stress out of the photography process. My husband and I ended up having a small ceremony 6 months before our planned event as we realized a year engagement just was too long to wait. So I messed Julia and she put in the extra time and care to photograph each of our special days.
I don’t typically enjoy being in front of the camera and my husband and I are honestly a little awkward. But Julia’s photos show the love, joy and brilliance of our wedding day(s) while capturing all the personal, little details. I LOVE my photos and I am so glad I’ll be able to look back on these beautifully captured memories for the rest of our lives.
Julia was so amazing to have as our photographer for our wedding! We absolutely loved working with her, as she really put my husband and I at ease. She captured some truly beautiful photos of our big day. I swore there must have been 3 of her, because she was everywhere and somehow got every shot without being intrusive at all. Plus she is just so sweet and open and easy to get along with. You will not regret hiring her!
We were so fortunate to have Julia be our photographer for our engagement photos and our wedding day. Julia is incredibly talented! Not only does the capture beautiful photos and have a creative eye (we had an indoor wedding with NO natural light, and she worked it!), but she is fun to work with! My husband and I don't get in front cameras that often, but Julia guided us through and helped make us feel comfortable! Julia also has extensive knowledge about great photo locations in Seattle - we really appreciated her insight into where we could get the best photos. I am so glad we had Julia to capture this special moment in our lives!
Julia is simply amazing. Within our first conversation we knew she'd be exactly what we needed in a wedding photographer. She was professional, warm, and went out of her way to make sure our weekend was captured perfectly.. Julia has the ability to make her clients super comfortable, she was flexible and open to any shots or poses we wanted to play with. We had a pretty large wedding party with big personalities and short attention spans and she was so patient and flexible with us throughout the process. From the classic shots (first looks, vows, the kiss) to the small sweet moments (the giggles, the dance moves, the sneaking bites of food) - we loved reliving our wedding weekend through her photos.
Julia Kinnunen was amazing and captured many amazing moments throughout our wedding (including one of the funny faces my uncle made). Thanks Julia!
We've been struggling to write this review for months, because we've not yet been able to put into words just how incredible Julia was to work with! From the moment my partner and I met her over facetime she put us at ease. Like many couples, we had never had professional photos taken together and absolutely dreaded the thought of overly staged wedding photos. We were also nervous about how a photographer would capture our minimalist backyard wedding. But Julia's excitement and enthusiasm for our day was contagious and the stress melted away immediately. She was incredibly laid back and supportive of whatever we wanted to do. At the same time, she offered sage advice to ensure we wouldn't miss out on important moments of the day. While she was photographing us it felt more like hanging out with a good friend than anything else. She so perfectly captured the joy and emotion of our wedding day. The candid shots bring us to tears. Her vibrant colors and eye for detail highlighted the whimsical transformation of our backyard in a way we never thought possible. Best of all, our friends and family absolutely adored her (how could you not!?). I can't imagine loving our engagement and wedding photos more. I can't recommend working with Julia enough!
My husband and I highly recommended Julia for your wedding photography needs. We were very picky when it came to the way our pictures looked edited for our wedding day and her style was natural yet elegant. On the day of, Julia was amazing. We had some unexpected events happen the day of the wedding and she handled it like a pro and was super patience. She happily took another round of pictures for us and I could not have been happier. She made us both feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera as it can be awkward. If you are looking for the best, look no further.
Julia was BEYOND AMAZING to work with! She was quick to respond to our emails, super friendly, and willing to be flexible with our crazy schedules to figure out an in-person meeting. We were able to game plan a backup location for our wedding photos--which she booked on the spot during our meeting--to ensure that we wouldn't be scrambling on our wedding day.
On the day, she was prompt, professional, and self-sufficient in terms of transportation between our getting ready spot and where we were taking wedding photos. She brought in an equally phenomenal second photographer (Shout outs to Meg Prouse!). Their photography powers combined to create an album of absolutely stunning shots from our wedding day. We're so thankful to have worked with Julia and know when the time comes for us to get a photographer for something else, she'll be our first choice.
Julia was absolutely amazing to work with, my wife and I would recommend her to anyone we know getting married in the Seattle area! She made everything so easy for us, from putting together a package that worked with our needs and our budget, to finding the best places to take gorgeous photos on a tight wedding day timeline. Not only that, but she is just a fun, awesome person who made us feel so comfortable straight off the bat. We planned our wedding in Seattle while living in Baltimore, and Julia played a big role in making our day go smoothly despite the difficulties in planning. At the end of the day, we had a great time, and the pictures are so beautiful. We will treasure them for years to come!
Julia was beyond amazing! My husband and I are SO thrilled with the pictures we just received. They are perfect, and we got so many wonderful shots of our day. Julia was great throughout the whole planning process. Very laid back, and never pushy. On the wedding day she helped direct us to the best lighting, and captured every moment. Since my husband and I don't have a lot of experience getting our photos taken, we were a little nervous, but Julia and her second shooter Alex made us feel comfortable. We had a blast with the whole process, and the photos are beautiful! One of my favorite parts of the night was when Julia gave us a few printed Polaroids she had taken earlier. It was so nice to take a special moment with my new husband and reflect on what a great day were were having!
Julia was such a delight to have around on our special day. She came recommended by our day-of coordinator (so you already know she's great to work with), and when we were looking through her portfolio, I was taken with how well she captures couples' personalities - she gets the beautiful, dramatic shots, but also captures the little moments in between. My now-husband and I are incredibly awkward in front of the camera, but she is so good at putting you at ease and finding positions where you can just...be together, and she'll capture those moments for you. If you love the idea of candid shots, but tend to make weird faces when you try to get them (like me), Julia will magically make you photogenic. She's also quick - we had our photos within a month of our day! Take a look at her portfolio, and if that's the style you're looking for, you can rely on her to make it happen for your day. HIGHLY recommend.
When my fiance, Cole, and I got engaged we wanted to book a photographer right away because capturing high-quality photos of our special day was a huge priority. Luckily for us, Julia was the first and only photographer we met with because...when you know, you know! :) From the moment we met Julia, we knew she was the photographer for us! Not only is she super cool, laid back and enthusiastic about what she does, but she has an incredible eye for capturing those perfect moments. From our pug and brewery-centered engagement shoot to the most beautiful wedding day we could ever ask for, Julia was an absolutely joy to work with and we couldn't not be happier with our engagement photos and wedding sneak peaks! We cannot recommend Julia highly enough !!
We loved working with Julia for our engagement pictures and wedding. She was clear and easy to communicate with from consultation through the wedding day. She captured all the groups we hoped for, and even more so, captured the moments that made the day so special. She scoped out great locations for all of the pictures, and really kept our personalities in mind throughout the day. We couldn't be happier with the end product.
We would definitely recommend working with Julia!
Julia is absolutely amazing! We could not have been more thrilled to have Julia be a part of our special day. We LOVE how beautiful our wedding pictures turned out. I would highly recommend Julia to anyone in the Seattle area seeking a wedding photographer, you will have a wonderful experience.
Julia was a delight to work with. Her calm and professional demeanor blended in well to our overall wedding and helped make the day run very smoothly. She was extremely flexible and supportive and clearly knows what she is doing! Highly recommend her!
Julia is irreplaceable. We chose her to be our photographer because her candid, true-beauty photography style stood out among the competition. He photos go beyond the makeup and the clothing and somehow encapsulate the essence of the couples she shoots. So there is no question that Julia takes incredible, memorable photos. On top of that though, she also brought a calming, positive presence during a somewhat overwhelming day. I am an introvert and having so many people focused on me on my wedding day was stressful. Julia's kind words and calm presence actually chilled me out and made me relax more than anything else. Having someone you trust photograph your wedding is worth every penny and more, plus the photos she took are just gorgeous. We cannot recommend Julia enough.
Julia was an awesome photographer - she caught some great action shots and took advantage of the beautiful weather, architecture and flowers in our shots. I felt like we laughed so much while doing the photos which made it so much more relaxing!
I loved having Julia as part of my wedding. She was super kind and attentive. She made sure to capture the entire day in the most beautiful way. I love all of our pictures. Thank you so much Julia!!
I truly cannot recommend Julia enough!!! Not only is she an amazingly talented photographer, but she is also the sweetest! She makes anyone who isn’t used to being in front of the lens feel at ease and is able to capture their true selves on their wedding day. She doesn’t just capture the event, she truly captures the essence of the wedding!! I feel so lucky to have her photos to look back on for many years to come. Thanks so much Julia!!!
Julia is freaking amazing and captured our special day so perfectly! From the first email and in person meeting (we met up for a beer!) to the big day itself, working with Julia was easy and fun! Her style and approach was exactly what we were looking for. True story, when I was looking for a photographer, I saw Julia's blog and looking at one wedding in particular that she shot made me teary eyed! If I can get emotional from wedding pictures of people I don't even know--then I think that's definitely a good sign! Julia helped make our wedding day a success and I absolutely recommend her!
Julia was an amazing photographer, I could not be happier with the photos she captured. I am not big into posed photos, I think they come off awkward and aren't as fun. Julia completely understood and I loved all of the candids that she caught. I love how rich her photos are in depth of color. We got married at the Seattle Arboretum and her photos captured the natural beauty of the venue, which is why we chose it in the first place. Am 100% satisfied with my decision to hire Julia!
Julia is amazing, professional and has a spot-on eye. I can't gush enough about my experience with Julia. She comes highly recommended in my book!
I loved working with Julia and Christine! They made me feel so comfortable and I really felt like they captured the emotions of the wedding!! My husband and I got married in an aquarium - and I'm sure all the water and reflections weren't easy! Thank you again!
Julia was INCREDIBLE. She was unbelievably fast - I got my photos just over 2 weeks after our wedding - and her photos are gorgeous. She makes it a point not to get pose-y photos - she gets stunning candid shots and natural couple photos, partially because she makes it easy to forget she's even there! She did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and I could not possibly be happier with both. You absolutely get what you pay for, and Julia's work was worth every penny and a whole lot more.
Julia is so rad! She did our engagement photos and they came out wonderful and whimsical! Her experience showed through her ability to direct our poses and calm down the awkwardness that can take place when you are not used to having a camera in your face. She is really good at finding those special candid moments that really express a couple's vibe. I can't wait to have her photograph my wedding!
Julia is warm and professional; she set us at ease and gave us a wonderful experience and stunning photos. I would recommend her to anyone!
Julia did such an amazing job for our wedding! Not only is she relaxed and easy going (which is key when hiring a photographer you’re going to spend the whole day with) but she takes the most outstanding pictures!
My husband and I decided to add on an engagement shoot with Julia which was so much fun! Neither of us have spent a lot of time in front of a camera so it was a chance to get comfortable with getting our picture taken as well as getting to know Julia. We had a blast running around the park acting like kids. Her turn-around time on the photos was fast and the quality was stunning. Julia put together a beautiful engagement album we used as our guestbook.
On the Big Day Julia was relaxed and took charge. She was with us all day, taking fun and beautiful pictures. When it came time to do the family group shots, she corralled everyone in a professional and firm way so that we didn’t have to waste the whole cocktail hour doing portraits.
I can’t say enough about how amazing Julia was!
Thank you, Julia, for everything!
Bride to Be's: Julia MUST capture your special day! I don't even know where to begin with how perfect she is!! Firstly, she is a true artist. I cannot say enough about how incredible her work is!! Her photos are impeccable; each a work of art and full of emotion, story, and beauty. And secondly, she is an incredible and beautiful human being. Having Julia with me all day was so calming and easy. She has a beautiful soul and presence, which is so important on your wedding day with all the craziness happening around you! She was with me at every moment and captured beyond what I thought was possible of the day. Looking at the photos, it's like I relive the day every single time I see them!! She answered every question I had from day one of working together, took every shot I specifically asked for, and went above and beyond to make me and my entire family and guests feel comfortable and taken care of. Check out her website to see her work, our wedding is Krystina + Bob and truly, I feel like we are in a magazine or something! It's INSANE how amazing every picture is.
Julia was the BEST to work with for my wedding and engagement photos. Our wedding was an early morning start in Port Orchard. Not only was she able to make us feel so relaxed, but she totally understood my dream of PNW scenery. The photos turned out amazing. Of course, the groom, myself, and the bridal party all looked stunning--but more importantly, Julia managed to capture the genuine feelings from all of our guests. She was unobtrusive and guests acted like themselves, which made the photos truly special.
Julia does photography for other life events such as maternity, labor, and boudoir pics. She would make anyone feel comfortable being photographer in these sensitive moments. I'm definitely keeping her in mind.
