Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
We believe your wedding photos should feel like the day felt—not just what it looked like. We capture the real, unscripted moments that make your celebration yours: the way you look at each other when no one's watching, the tears during toasts, the laughter you didn't know was caught on camera. We approach weddings as stories, not just photo ops.
Our style is documentary at heart—natural light, genuine emotion, and an unobtrusive presence that lets your day unfold. No stiff poses, no interruptions, just thoughtful composition that captures who you actually are together.
Based in southern Maine, we work with couples throughout Maine and New England who want photos that feel true to them—images you'll recognize yourselves in years from now. Please reach out, we can't wait to meet you!

- Julia WarnerPhotographerHi, I'm Julia! I'm one half of Ned & Julia, the husband-and-wife team behind Ned Warner Photography. I come to wedding photography with a background in education and a deep love for human connection — I'm also an independent college counselor, which means I spend a lot of my days listening carefully, building trust with people, and helping them feel seen. That same instinct shows up on wedding days. I'm the one you'll find coordinating family portraits, keeping the energy calm when schedules shift, and making sure you actually enjoy your day instead of just getting through it. Ned and I are rooted in Maine and photograph weddings throughout New England — we'd love to hear about yours.
- Ned WarnerPhotographerI believe in the power of real moments. The quiet, stolen glances. The belly laughs. The way your hand fits perfectly in theirs. These are the moments I'm always looking for — and after years of photographing weddings throughout Maine and New England, I've learned that catching them means getting out of the way and letting your day unfold. As a visual artist and MFA photographer, I bring a fine art sensibility to every wedding I shoot. I teach Mindful Photography at Colby College, which is just a fancy way of saying I've spent a lot of time learning how to be present — and that's exactly what I bring to your day. No two love stories are the same, and I never treat them that way. Whether you're eloping on a mountainside or celebrating with everyone you've ever loved, I'll tailor my approach to fit the energy of your day. Let's create something beautiful together.

What can’t I say about Ned? He has such a good eye for photography and does not back away from a challenge. When our wedding venue in Boston cancelled last minute, my husband and I...
opted to get married in our hotel room. When we made this decision, we were unsure if our vendors would cancel - but Ned did not waver. He traveled down to Boston prior to the storm and joined us on this crazy adventure. He became such a crucial part of our big day - setting up our hotel room suite for our ceremony, scoping out places last minute for beautiful portraits, and calmly helping us keep our schedule on time throughout the day. He is the absolute best!!!
Any questions?

I wish I could leave more than 5 stars for Ned. He did an incredible job with both our engagement shoot and our wedding. He has an eye for capturing the most important moments, esp...
ecially the small ones you don't always expect. Ned is very communicative and flexible, as well as open to last minute changes or quirky suggestions (we had a few). On our wedding day, his professionalism and calm presence truly helped set the tone. We're so grateful for Ned and we encourage you to give him a holler for your event!

Ned and Julia were absolutely amazing photographers for our wedding! From start to finish, their calm presence helped us feel relaxed and fully present, during both the busy, excit...
ing moments and the quiet, intimate ones. They worked with us to capture all the family photos we requested, and then focused on the moments that truly mattered - the sweet, candid interactions, the laughs, the smiles, and all the genuine emotions that made our day so special. Their thoughtful suggestions, attention to detail, and seamless teamwork ensured that every angle was captured beautifully.
Our first look photos perfectly reflected the love and joy of the day, and receiving them the next day was such a wonderful gift. From the ceremony to the reception, Ned and Julia captured the magic, emotion, and energy of the day in a way that exceeded our expectations. We felt so cared for every step of the way and we’ll be forever grateful to them for documenting memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

Ned is a truly exceptional photographer with an incredible eye for detail and emotion. He has a unique ability to capture both spontaneous, candid moments and beautifully composed,...
staged photographs—while still preserving a sense of authenticity in every shot.
My fiancé and I are both naturally camera shy and tend to feel awkward in front of the lens, which had us feeling nervous going into the shoot. However, Ned’s calm, encouraging presence and gentle guidance helped us relax and let go of our anxieties. He created an environment that felt comfortable and genuine, allowing us to truly enjoy the experience.
The final images blew us away. They were not only visually stunning, but they also captured the spirit of our relationship in a way that felt deeply personal. We’re so grateful to have these moments preserved so beautifully and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ned to anyone looking for a skilled and thoughtful photographer.
We cannot wait for Ned to photograph our wedding after seeing his amazing work with our engagement shoot!

documentary styled shots like we really wanted!
We loved Ned’s documentary style and are so glad that he captured true moments from our day! He also loves night sky photography and was able to get a few shots for us as well!
Ned worked with our budget and time flawlessly and was open to discuss options if our budget changed.
If you go with Ned for your special day you will NOT be disappointed!

Couldn't recommend Ned enough! My husband and I are not big photo takers and we gave Ned a tough task - a very short window for posed pictures and a VERY high bar for luxurious, cl...
assic and timeless photos, with the vast majority being live, unposed candids. He nailed it! Beyond the photos he took of us (which are absolutely beautiful), what really stands out are the photos he took of our immediate family that really reflect their personality. I know that may sound obvious, but a lot of friends have complained about photographers not taking photos of family members. I love the photos he took of my family the most.
Finally, Ned is just a great guy. We had a very stressful life event happen right before our wedding that could have easily ruined the day. Ned has been such a positive and bright light during and after the wedding - helping us feel relaxed during the moment and being super responsive to photo requests since then. Couldn't recommend him enough!

We can't recommend Ned highly enough! He’s pretty popular in the area, so we feel lucky that we booked him when we did. Not only was Ned incredibly accommodating for our difficult ...
schedule, he made us feel so comfortable that we were all genuinely laughing by the end! I’m usually uncomfortable in front of a camera and my fiancé and I came in a little nervous, but Ned’s professional yet genuinely warm manner gave us the confidence to shake the nerves off and actually have fun! It was worth it for just the experience itself. Then we saw the photos and they knocked our socks off! The best ones were the pictures we didn’t know he was taking. He finds those perfect moments and captures them so beautifully. Ned is a deeply talented artist who also has the rare gift of making people making people feel comfortable right away. Thank you so much for the beautiful photos and great memories of a fun & special day!

We feel so lucky that we were able to nail down Ned when we did. We reserved him later than most couples usually do. It still amazes us that he was available on such a popular week...
end (9/21), because his talent, personable touch, professionalism and quick thinking place him at the top of the pile for Maine, or New England for that matter, wedding photographers. We connected easily from our first meeting and he was always in regular communication in the months leading up to the day. He was punctual, efficient, and knew very well who he could rely on for any information he needed as to not distract us from focusing on the moments. He got along very well with everyone he spoke to, and by the end of the night he felt like another guest we had invited. He even went out of his way to help the event coordinators get us anything we needed, like water and sodas to keep our energy up for the rest of the night. I couldn't imagine our big day going any better, and Ned was a huge part of the success. He had some samples for us to see the very next morning and knows how to keep up the excitement even after it's all over. We'll be recommending him personally to anyone we can in the area, and I hope this review helps with wider exposure. He's the best and you'd all be lucky to have him!
