When you select Julia to be your photographer, you're actually choosing someone who cares about your life events as much as you do.
We knew our special day would go by quickly and wanted to feel secure in who we picked to be our photographer. She was experienced and prepared, she knew what pictures we would want even before we did. Julia made our day relaxed, fun and orderly! We felt that her presence was calming and direct so she captured every moment we wanted to cherish. Thanks Julia! You Rock!
"As you can tell from all the praise in the other reviews, Julia is an awesome photographer. She was flexible and a joy to work with on our non-traditional special day. We'd recommend her to anyone looking for a brilliant photographer with a keen eye and a great sense of humor. Thanks, Julia"
Julia was a joy to work with! She showed up early, stayed late and had great ideas on how to make our special day even more special. Not only does she have an eye for detail, but she makes you feel like the most beautiful person on the planet for the day. She took so many great pictures. Julia’s attention to detail and willingness to help made our day a great success! She kept a great timetable and everyone she came in contact with kept telling Anthoni and I "how great our photographer was". I highly recommend her to others."
We researched many wedding photographers, and feel very lucky to have found Julia. She is simply amazing! Julia is friendly, and co-operative which makes you very comfortable to interact with her during your photoshoot. She respects your ideas and tries to bring best in every photos she clicks. We definitely recommend her to anyone without a shred of doubt. Cheers!
Julia is truly the BEST photographer out there and she makes everyone look SO GOOD!!
We booked her for both our engagement session and our wedding because we loved her so much! She is so skillful at finding beautiful angles and working with natural lighting, and she was great at directing us with suggested poses that didn’t look forced or unnatural.
She was also really easy to work with: we met up beforehand to communicate our vision and discuss the kinds of photographs that we wanted for the engagement session and we did that again for our wedding. On our wedding day Julia brought her husband Leo who is also a photographer to assist her and they came early in the morning to begin taking scenery photos, details, and other things while the rest of us got ready. She was there with us throughout the entire day all the way til the end of the evening and she went out with us to take some sunset photos in the middle of the reception, which turned out so beautifully! Finally, Julia was super prompt at sending us the final photographs, which I know she worked hard on because there were A LOT!
We can tell that Julia truly enjoys what she does and really wants to get the best photos possible so she always goes above and beyond. I think the phenomenal photos that we’re sharing here can speak for themselves. She was such a joy to work with and we can’t wait to find some other excuse to hire her again!!
I found Julia based on her works on the site of wedding photographers. I liked your portfolio the most. All discussions were held remotely, so the risk of something going wrong was very high. We were very pleased with her work on the wedding day, and a few weeks later with the photos. The weather added to the difficulty. Because of the rain, I had to take a large photo in the majority, most of the photos in the hotel room. But the creative approach and experience gave impressive results on 3 square meters! We absolutely do not regret our choice. Julia, thank you very much!!!
