My husband and I got married this past June 2024 and absolutely LOVED working with Julia and her team! Julia goes above and beyond for all her clients. We had an immediate connecti...
on with her, and she made us feel comfortable during our engagement photo session and throughout our entire wedding day. Not only is Julia so easy to work with, but she is also highly organized and thoughtful, and her work is just incredible. Our family and friends still tell us how blown away they are with our wedding photos and video. If you are on the fence about booking a photographer to capture your special day, GO WITH JULIA!! We could not have had a better experience, and I am so grateful Julia captured these memories for us to have for the rest of our lives! Thank you SO MUCH again, Julia! You are the B.P.O.A.T (Best photographer of all time!!).
Julia is so amazing at what she does!! Absolutely blown away by our wedding photos. We are extremely happy that we chose Sydni Media as our wedding photographer.

apher was one of my top things to do once I got engaged. I found Sydni Media and really loved the style of her photography and quality Julia delivered in her work. Starting with our engagement session, Julia was so good about getting us comfortable in front of the camera and made the session fun. Julia is such a a nice person and instantly felt like she was a friend when we met her.
Leading up to the wedding day, she was great about touching base and provided a thorough timeline that helped the day run so smoothly. Julia is very professional and organized.
Julia captured the entire wedding day so perfect. Catching every important moment. I’m blown away at how beautiful our day was captured by Julia. Our wedding photos are my very favorite thing to look at, I have looked at our full album 100 times already because they are all so good. Friends and family are blown away when we have shown them our album and have given her so many compliments to. We even got sneak peaks the day after.. not 5 sneak peak images, a whole collection. It was amazing and exciting to see them so soon.
We highly recommend Julia photographing your big day! She is such a genuinely nice person and so great at what she does. The thought and love she puts into everything she does amazed me. We felt so appreciated the entire time we got to work with her.
Working with Julia is an amazing and stress-free experience, starting with the very first introduction call! She coaches you through the in’s and out’s of the wedding process, and ...
provides keen insight that will keep you and your fiancé level-headed and enjoying every step of your engagement. She is extremely organized and guides you through the ever growing to-do lists, but most importantly she truly cares about getting to know each of her clients, not just booking the job and getting the paycheck. Day of, Julia kept us on track (both physically and mentally) and stepped in when needed, never batting an eye. We are so appreciative of her skills, leadership, and developed friendship throughout this whole process!
After speaking with Julia once, I immediately knew I wanted to hire her. She made me feel confident that she could execute my ideal wedding video and she pulled though! I didn’t wa...
nt a classic wedding film and that did not scare her away. She delivered on everything I wanted and I truly thing I have the best wedding video. Her edits are beautiful. She was also so on top of everything, communicating with me throughout the entire process from the moment I hired her to delivering me my wedding videos.
Julia was professional, timely, and produced a beautiful video that captured the spirit of the weekend perfectly! We can’t recommend her enough!
Julia was an amazing photographer for our wedding. I am 100% happy with my decision in choosing her to capture our special day. She had a game plan already together before she arri...
ved and made it happen so smoothly it was no worry to me or my now husband. She gave perfect direction on what to do and where to go for the perfect photos. She is incredible! Take it from me, someone who is a perfectionist and values my hard earned money, Sydni Media is the way to go and is worth every dime!!!!!! I promise you won't be anywhere near disappointed!
Choosing Julia with SydniMedia Photography was one of the best decisions that we could have made during our wedding planning process. From our first conversation, Julia made me fee...
l so comfortable and confident moving forward with her team. After our engagement session, I absolutely knew that we picked the right photo and video team for our wedding. Working with Julia feels like working with your best friend - she is so fun, flexible and makes you feel comfortable instantly. Leading up to the wedding, Julia was extremely detailed with her photo timelines, shot list, and communicating the necessary items/ steps for the day of. She captured our love and all of our favorite people so perfectly - I will forever use her for any photos in the future! She even came back to the venue after leaving because she remembered a specific photo at night that we talked about getting but forgot about as the night went on. Cannot recommend working with her and her team enough!
Sydni Media is amazing! We used her for both our engagement photos and pur wedding! Professional and fun to work with and very easy to communicate with. I wish i had more events I ...
could use her for. Highly recommend!
Julia and her team are the absolute best! We never got to meet Julia in person before our wedding, but we felt like we already knew her because of the time she took to get to know ...
us and what we wanted! She made sure to capture everything we envisioned and did so beautifully. While looking through our pictures, it felt like flipping through a wedding magazine! There's a few that should be on magazine covers! When we pitched the idea for the picture under the lit up live oak, she was all for it, and it exceeded all our imagination!
Using Sydni Media for my wedding photography and videography was a no brainer! Julia was such a pleasure to work with and not only captured every moment on my wedding day but was a...
lso by my side throughout the day helping me to stay calm in the midst of all the craziness. I couldn’t recommend her enough as she was such an integral part of our special day and helped us capture memories that will last a lifetime!
I could not imagine my wedding day without Julia and her team! The process was so enjoyable from start to finish and I enjoyed every phone call with her. She was so professional an...
d somehow managed to get the most amazing photos and videos of our wedding day! We didn't have the easiest wedding party between all the drinkers and toddlers but she was able to capture us perfectly. I highly highly recommend getting Julia for your wedding day. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she's super fun to hangout with as well!
I 100% recommend Julia for your wedding photographer!! She was the absolute best to work with!! She’s so friendly, sweet and literally thinks of everything you could possibly need....
She’s super punctual and organized, which was very relieving during such stressful planning.
Our pictures turned out AMAZING. I’m so thankful we have those to look back on and cherish forever! We can’t thank her enough for all she did to help make our wedding so so special.
Julia (and her team) did an absolutely phenomenal job from start to finish!! She focuses on building an actual relationship with her clients so that there is no awkwardness when sh...
e comes to shoot and had amazing recommendations across the board. She acted as a day of coordinator, photo and video of our elopement and we could not be more pleased. Best money I ever spent! Get yourself a Julia for your perfect day!
Ok y'all...let's talk about this woman. She is absolutely AMAZING. From our first phone call you could genuinely tell how much she loves being a photographer. From climbing into t...
he bush (and coming out looking like she got hit by a porcupine) during our engagement session, to being the protector of my sanity on our wedding day (seriously-she could tell when I was getting too overwhelmed and sent my husband and I inside for alone quiet time). Not only was she our photographer, but over the past 8 months she became our friend. Constantly keeping me informed about what her plans were for our wedding day to checking in and making sure I wasn't getting too overwhelmed. She even sent us a Christmas present. She made sure we were all having a great time and made taking pictures fun! You can truly see how much she loves her job and making sure our pictures were everything we wanted. Investing in Julia was the easiest decision I had to make when it came time to plan the wedding. She is absolutely amazing and I'm so lucky to have gotten to know her.
Julie was incredible! Dare I say our “favorite” vendor for the big day, and we had a bunch of great ones! During the photo sets we did with her, she was prepared with poses and bac...
k drops in mind, but spoke to us in a very friendly manner while still giving us good direction for the photos. She kept us smiling and laughing even in between photos. You can tell she genuinely cares about the work that she is doing and wants to produce great, lasting portraits. She sent us (quite a few) gifts over the course of our engagement and scheduled several calls to go over specific details with us to ensure she was able to capture exactly what we wanted. She is truly a lovely individual and FANTASTIC photographer. I’ve heard of (and seen) less than ideal wedding photos, so I had mentally prepared for anything. However, I have to say that my husband and I could not be more thrilled with every single photo from our big day. We were initially in shock about how beautiful they all were!! I/we HIGHLY recommend Syndi Media for anyone in search of a photographer in the Wilmington area, and anywhere else she is willing to do business!
Julia we love you!!! We are so so happy that we found Julia and are so LUCKY and blessed to have gained a friendship, too. Julia made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera,...
she was so communicative throughout this whole process, and most of all, she is one of the most genuine person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We are so unbelievably grateful for the hard work and dedication that Julia put forth, she was with us every step of the way. Her photography is just as amazing as she is -- we just love how ALL of our photos came out, and can't wait to cherish them forever. Photos mean so much to us, being a military couple, photos bring us closer when we are apart-- and we have Julia to thank for that. Julia, thank you endlessly for everything you have done for us. You are such a wonderful, beautiful, real and compassionate woman and we are so lucky to have you in our lives!
Where do I even begin? From the very beginning, Julia was absolutely amazing. Our first phone call involved us just chatting to make sure we would be a good fit for each other. It ...
was never about the money for Julia, she truly just wants to offer the best experience possible from start to finish. Our engagement session with her was amazing (although we had to reschedule many many times due to weather 😂) and then our wedding day was just magical. Julia saw how stressed I was on our big day (what bride isn’t?!) and was there to make things easier on me from the very start of the day. We can’t recommend Julia enough!! She is absolutely amazing and we are so thankful that we found her!! ❤️❤️❤️
Julia is just so much fun to work with and goes above and beyond for her clients! She is a true talent!
