Julie K. Gray Photography

ork produced by this lovely photographer. We first met Julie during our engagement photo shoot in the Old Port and Eastern Promenade in Portland. We live in Memphis, TN, and came to Maine to wedding plan and meet Julie. Despite being a busy weekend, Julie put us at ease immediately. The engagement session was terrific and she did a fantastic job of capturing our personalities and styles. Most impressively, she had the photos edited and sent to us the same day. The work was beautiful. On the day of our wedding, we received the same level of care and professionalism from Julie. She did an impressive job of documenting all aspects of the big day - decor, guests arriving, the bridal party getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Having seen her work through our engagement photos, we were completely at ease and trusting of Julie during the day of our wedding. Julie had all edited photos returned to us less than two weeks after our wedding date. It was unbelievable and we were so impressed with the results. Although the wedding happened two months ago, we keep reliving the day through Julie's work. We can't recommend her highly enough and will be forever grateful we chose her to be part of this huge moment in our lives. Thank you, Julie! Lots of love and gratitude, John & Jenna

at making us feel comfortable while taking our pictures and also somehow seems to have captured every angle of our ceremony without anyone even noticing her moving around! Definitely recommend, thank you so much Julie for being part of our day!

know each other. Julie made us feel comfortable and at ease during all of our sessions. She was also well prepared for the many family and bridal party portraits and was able to quickly readjust the set schedule as needed when certain groups weren’t immediately ready. We love candid photos and we feel Julie did a great job capturing the fun and love we had at our wedding! All of the pictures turned out AMAZING and she had the entire album to us in just two days after the wedding. Thank you, Julie!

one of a kind. You will not regret hiring Julie

t have a wedding planner and working with Julie helped us to build our timeline for the day. She also was a real pro when it rained the day of the wedding and was still able to get us many of the outside shots we wanted for the first look and with the wedding party. She also did a wonderful job capturing the guests and got everyone on our shot list. The pictures came back so quickly and they look beautiful! I would absolutely recommend having Julie capture your special day for you!

us to reflect back on. The photos were beautiful and we're so happy!

absolutely amazing photos. And she's FAST! We got our photos back in just 2 days. Julie is professional, reliable, very sweet, and really cares about the couples she works with. Our photos turned out beautifully and we're over the moon to have them for the rest of our lives. I recommend contacting Julie as soon as possible to see if she's available to photograph your wedding!

amazing, and she took so many. She was moving during the whole wedding getting all the angles we never even knew we wanted. I would highly recommend Julie K Gray if you have been considering her, and will use her again if I ever need a photographer. She’s a true professional!

, but Julie was flexible and efficient, ensuring we all stayed on schedule and all my must have pictures we captured. Lastly, I was truly amazed by how quickly Julie had our pictures back to us- my friends waited over a month and I received mine within a few weeks. If you need a photographer, I couldn't recommend Julie enough.

, kind, cheerful and overall a wonderful person to work with. Day of the wedding she captured so many amazing pictures and edited them so quickly! We were able to order our Thank you Cards so quickly because of that. I would definitely recommend Julie to anyone who is looking for a great photographer!

t shoot she put us at ease, and even suggested some spots in Portland we didn't know about which resulted in some of our most favorite photos! Leading up to our wedding, she was organized, responsive, and responsible: she emailed me a month ahead of time to establish our timeline and "must have shots". She was also flexible in capturing a few getting-ready moments as well :) She was also extremely quick in getting the photos back to us- we had them within a week! The photos came out so amazing and perfectly captured our day. I would recommend Julie to anyone in a heartbeat.

cial day that makes you feel at ease and so comfortable on a stressful day. She is extremely responsive, professional, and just an overall joy to work with. Julie had our photos back to us within days and they exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend booking Julie and can't wait to use her again.

s looking for bright colorful photos and Julie certainly delivered. She turned our photos around in under a week! It was just so nice to relive the day so close to our actual wedding. I would highly recommend Julie for any and all of your photo needs!

eing photographed by her. She has an incredibly fast turnaround for photo edits, with engagement photos back THE NEXT DAY and almost 900 wedding photos back within a week. Our guests all adored her, and she was never in the way during the reception. Her photos are seriously stunning and bring out the natural beauty and joy in each subject- we all looked radiant! People who normally hate themselves in photos were reaching out to me to see how amazing they are. She does some of the staged photos that are typical, and those are great, but she truly shines in finding and capturing the candid, poignant, and funny moments that really bring the photos to life. The colors are beautiful and vibrant works of art. I seriously can't gush about Julie enough, and will probably have to find more excuses for her to photograph us in the future :) Seriously, our highest recommendation for Julie!

ning while also giving direction for photography. My husband and I are not people who take a lot of pictures, so we weren't quite sure what to do a lot of the time. Julie would quietly guide us with sort of a "trust me!" look on her face. All of the shots that she gave us direction on are easily our favorites of the bunch! Julie also took beautiful photos of everything happening all day and looking through them allows us to relive the day over and over. We had a beautiful day filled with so much joy and we cannot thank Julie enough for capturing that joy in photos.

She captured the moments beautifully. I wish we had another exciting event coming up so we could work with her again!

oughout all the uncertainty, and we are so so so happy that we finally had our day and Julie was there to document such a sweet celebration after such a long wait! Julie made our photos so much fun, and we all felt so comfortable with her there. It was such a joy to relive the day when Julie sent us the stunningly beautiful photographs. We cannot recommend Julie enough!

st taken care of. Both my husband and I have divorced families which means we have double the family members, aka, a lot of "mandatory" photos. She has such a friendly and welcoming personality. Although we had only spoken on the phone (never met in person - I didn't want to do engagement photos) until my wedding day, I felt 1000% comfortable with her when we met! I received SO many compliments throughout the night of how "involved" she was... out on the dance floor capturing every moment, mingling with our guests to get the perfect shots! She was crazy quick to send back our edited photos and USB drive. THANK YOU for making our wedding day so easy and fun!!!

he list we wanted, and captured beautiful candid moments. I couldn't be happier with the results!

ing planning process and had already given a few deposits so I asked if I could wait a month before signing our contract and providing our deposit. Julie said yes and that she would let us know if anyone else inquired about our date. A few weeks went by and Julie reached out saying another bride had asked about our day, I knew it was time to move forward. Fast forward to the wedding day, Julie arrived on time with no issues getting herself to the island we were getting married on. We finally met each other in person and I could just tell we were the perfect fit. Having pictures taken can be stressful and uncomfortable at times but we did not feel any of these emotions with Julie we were laughing and just having a really good time. We also had numerous friends and family comment on how great she was! I had heard many horror stories about the length of time couples had waited to get their photos back because of this I was ready to wait weeks knowing full well that the photos would be worth the wait. Much to my surprise just 4 DAYS after our wedding we received a link with every photo available at our fingertips. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. Thanks Julie!

to enjoy half of cocktail hour! I can't recommend her enough.

e me a few options in between those two extremes. As a COVID bride the plans changed many times and Julie was always quick to respond and to roll with the revisions. She was super helpful in creating a timeline for the day which I used to coordinate other vendors and my wedding party. In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in on the details to make sure nothing had changed. Day of she was fantastic at handling a very large and rambunctious and possibly a little tipsy set of groomsmen, she got some amazing shots without being “in the way” or disrupting the flow and vibe of the wedding, and my one request was to move through formals fast so we could get to cocktail hour, we had a solid 40 minutes of cocktail hour left to eat and visit with guests! Our wedding was at a boys summer camp so not necessarily the most elegant setting but they way she captured these photos it looks like we are in a woodland fairytale. Probably the most important fact, she got almost 700 photos back to me in a WEEK! A WEEK!!!

e card I wrote them and crying lol, then our entire beach wedding photos were great! She did an amazing job with our family photos but also got some really cool fun ones with our wedding party cheering in the background as we shared a kiss. That one is my absolute favorite. At the reception, again I can relive all the moments, including my uncle's family tradition of finger swiping the back of the cake! She went through and found all of these either fun or intimate interactions between my guests and got photos of that. I am actually sending personal pictures to each couple of them at the wedding with my thankyou cards, they are that good! Julie is a very fun and easy to talk to photographer. Even though this was a destination wedding at a beach that's three hours away from us, I would actually consider having her do my maternity photos down the road! Impressive work. Thank you so much Julie for these beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!
