Sweetwater Portraits

Our wedding was in September 2024 and we couldn’t recommend Sweetwater Portraits enough! Working with Julie throughout the planning process couldn’t have been easier. She was extremely responsive and worked with us when I asked one million questions, haha. On our wedding day in September, Julie, Dutch, Naomi, and Laura were so sweet and fun and made the whole day easy and smooth. We genuinely had fun with them and their personalities were fantastic on such a busy day! Having them with us all day made the day special and they made us laugh and connect and it truly shows in the photos. We got our pictures back so quickly!! I was amazed. And they are all incredible. I wouldn’t change a thing.

The groom and I don't consider ourselves photogenic and were nervous about photo time taking away from our enjoyment of the day. It was clear after the Zoom meeting with Sweetwater that they would make it as painless as possible. What neither of us anticipated was how much we would actually enjoy and value the time spent with Julie and Dutch as well as their video team--Naomi and Megan--on our wedding day. They made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the cameras, by letting us just be ourselves and be together...and providing helpful posing adjustments when needed lol. Instead of taking away from us experiencing our wedding, they gave us quiet moments to just be still and connected. Everyone told us the day would feel like a whirlwind, but with Julie and Dutch guiding us--it didn't. We spent long quiet moments snuggling on the couch, and we took a lovely walk down to the ceremony space, and while everyone was eating dinner we got to go off into the vineyard at sunset. Not only did they give us these priceless moments, but they captured them so beautifully. Now we--two people who typically cringe at photos of themselves--are excited and proud to hang these in our home and show them to our grandchildren.

We love our engagement and wedding photos from Sweetwater so much! They captured our memories authentically, and we get to re-live the happiest day of our lives whenever we want through their pictures. Julie and Dutch put us both at ease on wedding day, which helped us relax and enjoy the moment. Our photos look natural and romantic – they are just amazing! I would recommend Sweetwater to anyone!

After being in and attending so many weddings, we knew how important it was to have quality photographers who were professional, talented, organized, and personable. To say Julie & Dutch have those traits would be selling them short. They were very easy to coordinate and communicate with and even helped us add an additional setting only weeks before the event. They shot our welcome event and wedding (at the Bok Building in Philadelphia) and they truly felt like our friends and family with how warm and enjoyable they were. They were very organized and helped us stay on track while capturing all the important moments throughout the day. We received tons of compliments from our friends and family with how impressed they were. We loved working with them and that increased exponentially after receiving our pictures. They captured some of the most amazing moments of our day and the quality is top notch. We've shared the photos with our loved ones and they all commented on how they were some of the best wedding photos they've ever seen. We are so grateful we chose Sweetwater to shoot our wedding and I have no doubts you'll be elated with them too.

Working with Sweetwater Portraits was the best decision we could have made. Julie and Dutch are both wonderful people who made taking the many wedding day portraits a breeze. J & D did a beautiful job with both formal portraits and capturing the more candid/authentic moments, which is exactly what we wanted. Julie also helped put together pretty much the entire day's schedule, which was so appreciated and well-done. They are so extremely talented, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results and communication. The best part was receiving our full album in just 11 days! (wedding date was 4/27, so it was before peak season) Note: in exchange for this speed, we did not receive a sneak peek before that - if that's something important to you, I would address it beforehand. Cannot recommend Sweetwater enough!!

We cannot begin to put into words how grateful we are for Sweetwater. From the early planning stages, Julie was responsive and organized. She understood exactly what we were looking for with our wedding photos and made it happen. Every member of the team was professional and fit seamlessly into the day. Julie and her team put everyone at ease during photos and made every smile genuine. Our photos turned out fantastic and we will cherish them forever. We cannot say enough great things about Sweetwater and have recommended them to everyone we know!

Dutch, Julie and the entire Sweetwater team exceeding all of our expectations. Not only were they the type of people who you’d want to grab a coffee and get to know better but their work was brilliant. They made us feel relaxed and comfortable being photographed which I was very appreciative of. And the photographs came out beautifully! I’m speechless. Would more than recommend for anyone looking for engagement or wedding photography!

Julie and Dutch were phenomenal in every aspect. Their style, professionalism, and help leading up to and throughout our wedding day was a weight off of our shoulders. The still/video capture was top notch, they are our first reccomendation to anyone getting married.

What we wouldn’t give to have a every life event captured by Sweetwater Portraits. Our photographers somehow were able to capture beautiful and authentic family portraits AND frame worthy candids of your loved ones. Your wedding photos are how you visually remember your big day (everything happens so fast and you think you will remember but alas) and I wouldn’t trust anyone but SW to capture these moments.

I am so happy we booked with Sweetwater. We are not photo people at all and were worried about feeling awkward or uncomfortable. Our lead photographer, Chloe, made things so easy and we really enjoyed working with her. Nothing felt awkward, uncomfortable, or staged. We felt natural and our photos are evidence of that! About 2 weeks after our wedding we got some sneak peek shots and they are incredible. So many friends and family have commented on the photos themselves and how beautiful they are. Dutch sent us the perfect mix of candid, portraits, B&W, and more. The aesthetic of their portfolio was what drew me to them and I’m glad we picked them. Julie was incredible during the planning process. I am excited to see the rest of our photos and know they will be beautiful. I’m also excited to see our film because guess what! They do video too :) please don’t hesitate to book them!!

This is probably the longest review I’ve ever written but I just absolutely loved Julie and Dutch! They were amazing! They kept the whole day so calm and organized. Everything went perfectly. I didn’t even need a day of person because they kept everyone on schedule while keeping it light and fun. They just thought of everything. They got there early and timed how long it would take us to walk from the venue to the park next to it for pictures. They also recommended we go inside for the rest of the photos instead of going to the park which I’m so happy we did because 1) the photos inside are gorgeous and 2) my husband was profusely sweating by the end of the ceremony. He definitely would have been a mess if we had done photos outside. I felt like I could trust every decision they made, and I’m so glad I did!          I cannot say enough good things about them. They made us feel at ease from the moment we met. We’re not the best models, but they made it so easy and comfortable. It really just allowed us to be present and soak in the whole day. Nothing felt forced or awkward, it was just like we just had two friends along photographing our blissful day. You can feel all the joy and happiness of the day from the photos. My sister was looking at them and said to me she felt like she was there again. Not only do the photos emanate the emotions of the day, but Julie and Dutch had such a creative eye and photographed everything beautifully. I love every single one of our photos. They captured everyone perfectly and the photos of us and our families are ones that we’ll cherish forever. From our very first conversation, they made it a joyful and authentic experience, which is exactly what I wanted and is perfectly reflected in our photos.             I loved working with them and I highly recommend using them. I promise they will help make it the best day ever. I can’t thank them enough for everything.

I felt so calm and comfortable from the first time I talked with Julie over Zoom. She listened to my priorities, helped guide us through the booking process, and brought an incredible team to photograph and videography our day. We really wanted photos and videos that felt natural and captured the day as it really was. Her entire team was extremely kind and professional, I never felt rushed or pushed out of my comfort zone. Their experience and expertise made the entire day so seamless, and the final photos and videos beyond exceeded our expectations. We love everything and are so thankful we have these pictures and videos to remember our day and share with friends and family. If you're getting married in Philadelphia, they're incredible!

All I can say is… WOW! Julie and Dutch are THE BEST! They made the planning process absolutely seamless and simple. They made us feel so incredibly comfortable on the day of our wedding. And they delivered the most incredible pictures just over 2 weeks after our wedding date. We received SO many compliments from both friends and family about how amazing Julie / Dutch are and how much fun people had with them on our wedding day! And as we have shared our pictures, we have received even more compliments about how gorgeous their work is! I cannot say enough great things about Sweetwater Portraits! LOVE them and hope for annother opportunity to work with them again soon!

We cannot thank Sweetwater enough for giving us Hieu and Cheryl for our wedding day! They were absolutely fantastic. They were so go with the flow, so positive, and so flexible! We are so appreciative of their patience and understanding (the Groom tore his achilles a month before the wedding!) and all of our many family members that they had to wrangle. I really can’t say enough good things about the experience we had with Sweetwater, including all of our planning phone calls and emails with Hieu!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Julie and Dutch. Their professionalism, their talent, their fun and eager attitudes; everything they touch turns to gold. Working with Sweetwater was truly an exceptional experience. Our gallery of photos made my jaw drop. Every portrait, every candid shot, every detail...perfection. They captured every moment in such a sweet and beautiful way, and made us feel so comfortable the entire day. Thank you Julie and Dutch for an incredible experience!!!!!

Our wedding photos are simply spectacular! Everyone we've shared them with has remarked how perfectly the Sweetwater team captured the energy of the event. Sweetwater truly went above and beyond. We can't wait to spend the rest of our lives cherishing these photos.

Highly recommend Sweetwater. Our photos are gorgeous. They were wonderful to work with. Our photographers on our wedding day made us feel so at ease.

Julie, Dutch, and their team at Sweetwater were incredible to work with. Julie was always organized, responsive, professional. The weather on our wedding day put a wrench in our previously set photography plans and Julie was quick and calm to come up with a plan B and still delivered beautiful wedding photos. Highly recommend!

Sweetwater Portraits was amazing! We can't imagine a better way to capture our wedding, and we cannot recommend them enough. Julie and Dutch were recommended to us by some family members, who had also used Sweetwater to photograph their weddings. We are so glad we asked them to help with our wedding. From the very outset, Julie and Dutch were in tune with our wedding vision. We were a bit nervous about the wedding planning process, but they helped us at every step along the way. They even offered helpful insights into other aspects of our wedding planning when we asked them for help. On the day itself, Julie, Dutch, and their teach seamlessly fit into the festivities and captured the day perfectly. We were amazed when we received our photos, which proved just how great they are!

Julie and Dutch of Sweetwater Portraits were exceptional to work with. Not only were our wedding photos stunning, our engagement photos were amazing as well. From the moment my (now) wife and I met Julie via Zoom, we knew we wanted to work with her and her team for our photos. Both Julie and Dutch are extremely friendly and warm and made us and our guests a feel so comfortable throughout our time with them. I swear that every time our wedding is brought up by our friends and family, our ‘wonderful photographers’ and pictures are mentioned too. While we had ideas of where and what kind of photos we wanted for both our engagement photos and on our wedding day, Julie and Dutch came up with additional amazing shots that we’ll treasure forever. We very highly recommend Sweetwater Portraits for all your professional photos.

Julie and Dutch we're incredible, we can't put into words how much we'd recommend them! They put us completely at ease, we’re so on top of every detail, and made it fun! They have such a relaxed, confident demeanor that they blended right into the day. We never like having our pictures taken , but we genuinely enjoyed every minute of it with Julie and Dutch. Even our friends and family are still telling us how great they thought our photographers were. And the pictures are incredible! They capture the day exactly as we remembered it and showed us things we didn’t know, especially how happy everyone looked. They look and feel authentic and almost like documentary style shots. You'll be glad you hired them for your wedding.

Julie and Chloe shot my May wedding and both of them were truly amazing. On a day that is usually very stressful, Julie was a calming presence from morning to the end of the night. I never once felt rushed or pressed for time. I credit her for keeping me calm throughout the day! Chloe was with the guys all day and they had so much fun with her! From the day we booked to even after the wedding, Sweetwater has been amazing and so helpful. They even gave us our wedding photos 2 weeks after!!! I ended up going with Sweetwater after she shot my friends wedding in 2021. The second you meet Julie you’ll want her to photograph your wedding too!!

Julie and Dutch, and the whole Sweetwater team are incredible!!! They made my husband and I feel so comfortable and supported through the whole wedding planning process, and especially on our wedding day. We loved how easy and relaxed everything felt. We loved that their style was natural and candid focused. We wanted our pictures and film to feel like us and really showcase how the day went. We could not have been happier with how our photos turned out, and not to mention we received our photos within 2 weeks of our wedding!!! Highly recommend working with Sweetwater for all things photographs and video!!

All I can say is WOW!! We have spent the last hour reliving our wedding day through these photos and are just so unbelievably happy! Julie and Dutch’s ability to capture every moment as it happened is incomparable. Every single photo is breathtakingly beautiful and we truly cannot thank them enough! These two are seriously a dream team and we hit the jackpot with them. They made us feel so comfortable and natural, and we’re truly shocked how many photos were taken that we didn’t even know they were there for! And I will say, the photos with Teddy (our dog) are amazing!! Picking favorites for the album is going to be hard! The biggest thank you to Julie and Dutch from the bottom of our hearts—having these photos for the rest of our lives means the world to us!

We are so grateful for Julie, Dutch and the whole Sweetwater Portraits crew for capturing all of our special wedding day moments so beautifully. From our initial consultation all the way through the big day they made the process smooth and stress free. We are absolutely in love with our photos and are still receiving compliments on our gallery months later! Julie and Dutch are an absolute pleasure to work with and really know how to help you and your guests stay "in the moment" to enjoy the day. We highly recommend Sweetwater Portraits to anyone looking for gorgeous and innovative photography.

Sweetwater is the best! We absolutely loved working with Hieu. He made me feel so at ease on the big day. He took incredible pictures of us that were candid and posed. Our venue was intimate and our crowd small. The entire time he captured the best moments. He engaged our guests in moments that drew out the best of them. By the end of the night I am pretty sure my mom was going to invite him to Thanksgiving. He captured the best spontaneous moments with friends and family. Our favorite was when he saw the opportunity for a photo under a bridge and jumped into traffic to get it!! Anyone would be lucky to have him capture your special day. Thank you to Sweetwater and a special thank you to Hieu!

Sweetwater and Julie really were the perfect photographer experience for us and worth every penny. The photos turned out even better than expected and Julie really helped to make our special day absolutely perfect. Nothing felt forced or super posed, everything was natural and beautiful and captured us perfectly. We had a very unique and minimal wedding experience and Julie ran with our plan seamlessly and helped to ensure it went off with our a hitch. We could not recommend them more!

Let me just start by saying Julie is the most calming, comforting person to be around on your wedding day. If that alone doesn’t convince you to hire Sweetwater, then just keep reading! While searching for wedding photographers, we had a couple of important things in mind. 1- My husband & I are not particularly comfortable in front of the camera. We wanted to make sure we hired photographers that could really highlight the candid moments of the day. Natural, happy photos without much posing. 2- We didn’t want the photos to look over white-washed or edited, we wanted them to look like amazing natural photos. Sweetwater absolutely NAILED both of those details. I warned Julie before our wedding day that it really is not easy to get my husband to stay still long or to pose for photos. She & her husband, Dutch, had no problem at all with that. They captured the most stunning photos of our day & made it absolutely painless. Our portrait sessions were natural & organic. Our family photos were quick & easy. They ended up being the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen in my life. We have had so many people reaching out saying that they couldn’t believe how stunning our photos came out. (Not kidding, people I haven’t spoken to in 10+ years reached out to let us know that the photos were some of the best they’ve ever seen) Julie & Dutch listened to our vision & asks for the day & made sure to address & deliver on each & every one. Julie & Dutch are so amazing to be around & were truly a breathe of fresh air on our wedding day. I’m so thrilled we hired them & I already am making excuses to get photos taken again in the future. It was such a highlight of our day & I could not be more thankful. Julie & Dutch, we adore you both. Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully. We could not recommend you more!

All I can say is wow. Just wow. As many brides can attest, planning a wedding makes you realize that you have opinions on things that you never thought you’d have an opinion on. For me, that was wedding photos. There are a lot of photographers who produce highly stylized - and to be clear, very beautiful - photos. Some give off a dark, glamorous vibe; and others use a sort of tan/whitewashing filter. While I really like those looks, for my wedding, I wanted a photographer whose photos looked less stylized, and more like really good quality, truer-to-life pictures. When I saw Sweetwater’s pics, I knew I’d found my photographer…and that was reaffirmed after I chatted with Dutch, and after he helped my husband and me make decisions about where to take photos, what we wanted to capture, etc. On the day of the wedding, Dutch and his team were AWESOME. They were organized, attentive, and kept everyone on track. They were also so fun to work with, and they more than played along with the very goofy sense of humor that my husband and I have. Everyone in my wedding party was talking about them, saying how great they were, and for good reason. They killed it. As for the photos themselves, I’ve gotten so many compliments since posting them. As self-conscious as I am, they made me feel so beautiful, and I cannot recommend booking them enough. Dutch and his team at Sweetwater are true professionals who know what they’re doing and know how to herd tough wedding parties with a firm, yet warm approach. I’m so, SO glad we hired them for our wedding day.

From our first meeting I had with Julie, I immediately felt calm and excited to chose her as our photographer. Julie and Dutch were so incredible from our first meeting together all the way through to the end of our wedding. They worked with us, listened to what we wanted while also using their photography expertise to make sure we had the best pictures. They blended in perfectly with our wedding and we never felt overwhelmed with having to take pictures. Our guests even commented on how amazing Julie and Dutch were! Thank you Julie and Dutch for making our day SO special!

Words will never be enough to thank Julie, Dutch, + the Sweetwater team for all of their amazing work with our engagement & wedding portraits. THEY ARE STUNNING! Julie + Dutch are an amazing team and breath of fresh air. So calm cool and collected making the entire process + day smooth and enjoyable! We had a tight timeline and they were professionals throughout the entire day! We also used them for videography and cannot wait for our wedding video - we already know it’s going to be breathtaking! Don’t think twice about hiring Sweetwater. Down to earth, genuine, and enjoyable team to work with! 🤍

Julie and Dutch are THE BEST. They are professional, cool, fun, and so so talented. Our photos came out so beautifully and truly captured the emotion and love from our wedding.

We cannot say enough great things about Julie and Dutch at Sweetwater Portraits! We spoke to many photographers, all of whom were great, but after speaking with Julie about our expectations and our vision for our wedding, we knew immediately that we wanted her as our first choice. It goes without saying that planning a wedding is a very stressful process, and there was something very calming about Julie that put us at ease because we had no doubt she would capture everything we wanted. And after viewing the final photos, Julie and Dutch did NOT disappoint. They were just absolutely wonderful to work with, and their passion and creativity comes alive in their photos. We appreciated their honesty and their ability to find solutions to all of our concerns pertaining to logistics with scheduling and family. We feel so grateful and lucky to have had Sweetwater Portraits capture our special day and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their special moments captured through the lens of such creative and talented individuals!

Cannot recommend Sweetwater Portraits enough! We had a wonderful experience with both Julie & Dutch for our summer wedding and the photos are absolutely incredible and timeless. They did an amazing job not only on portraits, but capturing all of the emotions and beautiful scenery of the day. We feel like we are completely able to relive the day through the photos they took. Our family and friends also commented on how well both her and Dutch integrated into our day, very much feeling they were a special part of it as well. We worked with Julie directly throughout the whole process and cannot say enough good things. She was receptive, organized (and kept me organized), extremely friendly and we highly valued her expertise and opinions. I hope to get the chance to work with them again on a future event or milestone.

We had a wonderful experience working with Julie + Dutch for our wedding at Front and Palmer. They helped us feel both comfortable and confident! Their attention to detail is unmatched, and they bring such a lovely energy to the work that they do. We are absolutely in love with our pictures! Can't recommend them enough!

Sweetwater Portraits is the BEST! Julie and Dutch are incredible - from the very first phone call we had with Dutch about planning and logistics to each subsequent call we had leading up to our wedding day both of them responded with care, patience, and professionalism. We knew off the bat we were in good hands never once questioning our choice. On the wedding day we couldn't have asked for a better team - Dutch tag teamed the event with Hieu. Both of them were so helpful and made us feel incredibly comfortable. We can't even begin to count the number of people who were amazed by how Dutch and Hieu seamlessly immersed themselves into the day while blending into the background. They made sure to make us feel special but also made sure to capture everything else happening at the same time. The pictures absolutely 100% prove it!! We can't stop looking at them - they show the raw emotion and the absolute joy each step of the way. We were so lucky to have been able to work with such an amazing team. Anyone who has the chance to work with them is incredibly lucky and in the best of hands!

We are SO grateful to have been lucky enough to work with Julie and Dutch for our wedding!!! Having already been completely captivated by their photos/online portfolios I was thrilled to have been even more assured after my initial call with Julie. She was SO kind, informative and I really loved working with her from start to finish. We had every bit of confidence in Sweetwater's expertise and talent and were still blown away by how amazing our photos turned out. They captured the joy of the day in a way I truly didn't know was possible. We absolutely had the very best talent at our sides and also had so much FUN shooting with them! Their energy was so calm, reassuring and comfortable and it was truly just such a pleasure working with them. If you are lucky enough to find that Sweetwater is available for your special day, do not give it a second thought!

Working with Sweetwater Portraits was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Julie and Dutch were so wonderful throughout the entire planning process, helping us capture every moment of our wedding perfectly. They are equally kind and talented, and provided a calming presence on what can be a very hectic day. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the way our photos turned out and couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience.

Where do I even begin! Julie and Dutch are the real deal. From the moment of contact until our wedding day they have been so on the ball, even through Covid. They are caring and made myself and my husband feel so comfortable. They even managed to perfectly deal with some tough personalities in our bridal party haha. Look no further for photographers. Our engagement session came out beautiful and I just know it will be the same for our wedding photos. They deserved this review ASAP. Thank you for everything!

Sweetwater Portraits did a fantastic job of capturing all the special moments of our big day. From the getting ready photos to the ceremony photos to the portraits of us and our families to the reception photos, everyone looks natural, which we were looking for with our wedding photos. When I look back on this day, I want to remember how comfortable and effortless the day was, thanks to Julie and Dutch being there to document every step of the day. If there's one thing I want everyone to know besides that Julie and Dutch take the best portraits, they can bring a calming approach to taking photos throughout the day.

Julie & Dutch were an amazing team, as were the videographers. We knew that Sweetwater was the perfect fit for us after our engagement session, which Julie did very thoughtfully, and made fun for us. Julie & Dutch came early to our wedding to scope out spots that would be great for our wedding pictures, and took the time to capture unique photos that were perfect for our wedding day. I really enjoyed working with them, and Julie's calming presence helped ease our nerves and make everything very fun and lighthearted. I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married!

Julie and Dutch are absolutely amazing to work with. My husband and I feel pretty awkward when it comes to "staged" photos, so I was afraid I wasn't going to like how I looked in any of our wedding pictures. But they made us feel so comfortable, I can't stop looking at them! They take the time to get to know you while taking pictures, which instantly put us at ease. When we had to choose photos for the album that came with our package, I had to add extra pages because I love our pictures so much. The best part is they have such great experience that they can offer suggestions if you need them. I really can't say enough great things about them as a team - they made the whole process so easy and fun. We loved working with them!

Sweetwater is as top notch as they come, really the best of the best! Choosing the right photographer was a job in itself but we couldn’t be happier with how Julie and Dutch treated us from the initial consultation to the end result. There really is a big difference in a high quality photography team and average and that was evident with Sweetwater. Julie and Dutch were friendly, personable, professional and extremely knowledgeable. It’s clear they have been doing this for a long time. They gave us guidance throughout our entire wedding day, treated us like king and queen, and took every shot we had hoped for. They really made us feel like our wedding was one of a kind. Constantly posing for different pictures can get long and awkward, especially if you’ve never done it before, but Julie and Dutch led the way perfectly. And most importantly, of course, their finished product was amazing! Afterwards, they delivered prints to us in a convenient, easily viewable and timely manner. They don’t just dump thousands of pictures on you, they take their time to choose and edit them carefully and proficiently. We can’t wait for the final album! For a day that would create a lifetime of memories, we are so glad to have chosen Julie and Dutch to capture it for us.

My husband and I loved working with Julie and Sweetwater! Julie knows all the best places for a wedding shoot in center city Philadelphia. She made us feel at home in front of the camera and worked with us to create a special intimate event for a Father's Day wedding. Julie is quick to respond to questions and a very clear communicator. We highly recommend Sweetwater!!

It does not get better than these two. They will make you feel comfortable during the most anxious day of your life. They take the time to learn about you and your people and know exactly the moments to capture to help you relive the beauty and joy of the best occasions of your life. I highly recommend Julie and Dutch. You will not be disappointed!

Julie and Dutch honestly may have been one of our favorite parts of wedding planning. We had that “instant friends” chemistry at our friends wedding and we knew they had to be on our team! They allowed us to feel comfortable and at ease with our day of plans so we could enjoy every moment of our big day. More so, they easily became a part of the family and we could feel that they genuinely enjoyed taking our photos and shared the joy that we had that day. Icing on the cake of course is the magic that results any time either one of them has a camera in hand. Best decision ever.

We LOVED working with Julie and Dutch and sweetwater portraits! They made the day and night flow perfectly despite some crazy wind and cold. We still got amazing outdoor pictures and reception pictures without even knowing they were there. They are awesome people and my brother will now use them as well! Can’t go wrong here !

We cannot recommend Sweetwater Portraits enough! From the start, we knew we chose the perfect photographer. During our engagement photos, we were immediately grateful for Julie’s calm energy and attention to detail. So, we couldn’t wait to have both Julie and Dutch for the wedding day! Not only did Julie and Dutch produce beautiful photos, but they both were so wonderful to work with. They made our bridal party and us feel so at ease the day of the wedding, and were unfazed by the 9 flower girls and ring bearers under the age of 9! Aside from their amazing energy the day of, they were able to capture every moment perfectly! Julie and Dutch are true professionals, and there is no doubt, Sweetwater Portraits is the best of the best.

We had the absolute BEST experience working with Sweetwater Portraits for our wedding! We couldn’t have picked a better photographer to shoot our engagement photos and wedding, Sam was fabulous to work with and shot the most amazing photos. Our guests are STILL (5 months later) complimenting our photographer's style and quality of the photos we received. Thank you for capturing the best moments of our wedding day . THANK YOU!

Julie and Dutch from Sweetwater Portraits were a true pleasure to work with. We had an amazing day and knowing that Julie and Dutch had the photos completely under control gave us a sense of confidence from the beginning. They went out of their way to ensure all of the photos we requested happened. Julie was highly organized and accessible throughout the planning process. They also have lovely wedding album choices, and my husband and I are very excited to see the finished product. We would highly recommend using Julie and Dutch!

We used one of Sweetwater's associate photographers, Tiffany, for our September 2016 wedding (this review is long overdue!), and we were very pleased with the experience! I spent a lot of time researching photographers and knew Sweetwater's photos would be nice, so what I really want to review is the above and beyond service that I received from Julie specifically. I was very picky about a lot of aspects of the wedding, and a lot of those aspects involved the photographers, and Julie listened to me patiently, made sure we were on the same page about a detailed plan, and she didn't make me feel crazy, even though I think I was a little bit crazy :) Even after the wedding, I still had more questions for Julie, and she took the time to answer everything. When my husband and I sent our thank you notes, we used 4 photos from the wedding for the card, and based on the thank you note, friends of ours who were engaged hired Sweetwater, too. Julie sent us a handwritten thank you note for the referral, and I mention that for two reasons, one, because the photos spoke for themselves, and two, just to underscore how professional, responsive, and committed Julie was before AND after our wedding. I highly recommend Julie and Sweetwater Portraits!!

Sweetwater was the perfect choice for stunning, natural, un-posed photography on our wedding day! We chose Julie and Dutch for both their photography style and their calm, warm personalities. They were a pleasure to meet and plan with leading up to the wedding day. Even when Dutch wasn't able to make it last minute, they brought in a talented, creative associate to shoot with Julie and we didn't feel like there was even a single moment of uncertainty! Julie made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and the moments she captured were so full of raw emotion. We got the photos back a couple of months ago and I still can't stop flipping through them. Very highly recommended!!

We feel so fortunate that Sweetwater photographed our engagement session and wedding. Choosing your wedding photographer is one of the most important wedding-related decisions one can make. The wedding day itself goes by so fast, but the photos really do last forever and help keep the memories of the day alive. We were especially drawn to Julie and Dutch's style of photography. None of their photos are too staged or unnatural. They are candid and truly reflect the subjects of the photos. And that's exactly how we feel about our wedding photos. They are literally perfect. I love looking at them and am so impressed with the quality of their work. Julie and Dutch were also wonderful to work with. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day, so you want to make sure that you choose someone you like! They are just really nice people and so easy to be around. Our wedding party and families also commented on how impressed they were with them. We can't recommend them highly enough!

We cannot recommend Julie and Dutch highly enough! For starters, they are simply the greatest people to work with. As a nervous bride being the center of attention, both Julie and Dutch totally put me at ease. They were professional and incredibly nice, and we had the most fun hanging out with them all day. On top of them being generally awesome people, our wedding photos are incredible!! Julie and Dutch captured our day perfectly, and they are beyond what we ever hoped for. You won't regret choosing them as your wedding photographers!!

Julie and Dutch did an incredible job at my wedding on July 29th 2017. They are so sweet and easy to work with! My husband and I are both quite shy, but they made us feel very comfortable and captured all the special aspects of our wedding day perfectly. I highly recommend them to any bride looking for an amazing wedding photographer.
