I can't say enough wonderful things about Julia, her team, her work, and her products. We are thrilled beyond words.
We found Julia's blog accidently while searching for other vendors, and we immediately fell in love with her romantic yet... super urban work. We also loved her mix of beautiful portraits and fun photojournalism. If you haven't checked out her blog yet - that's a must!
Julia was delightful to correspond with (returns emails quickly, professionally, clearly) and was wonderful to meet with. What we loved about her is that she's a super cool and artistic personality and totally loves what she does without being a "pushy" photographer (we've all worked with those!), and we knew she'd fit in with the crowd at our wedding. Also, she's completely on top of things professionally and we trusted her with the important task of capturing our big day within moments of meeting her.
We had an engagement session with Julia about 3 months before the wedding which was an awesome trial run, and made my husband and I feel really at ease with our decision to work with her. It was fun, relaxed, we all got to know each other, and we got some great techniques from Julia about how to look great in photographs together. Plus, we got some AMAZING shots and a beautifully designed picture guestbook for our wedding day. I highly recommend doing an engagement session!
Julia was professional, on-time, calm, and completely in-charge on our wedding day without ever making us feel rushed, pressured, etc. Her team was wonderful, warm, and equally professional. In fact, I got really sick in the middle of taking our pre-wedding portraits with my husband and family, and she couldn't have handled it better... she never once contributed to the inevitable stress of the wedding day, she made us all feel at ease, and whenever I needed to take a break, she responded immediately, and was off photographing other people and details of our wedding while I rested.
At the wedding Julia set up a slide show presentation on a computer of some of the portraits we had taken earlier in the day. Our family and friends loved looking at the pictures during the reception, and we all thought it was a really special and creative touch to our party.
The greatest compliment I can give Julia is that she completely captured our day without ever imposing on it. Many of our guests didn't even notice her and her team, and yet she captured beautiful, special moments of everyone. She was everything we could have asked for in a wedding photographer, and every penny spent on her services was well spent!
