ABOUT julie
Your wedding photographs are a lifetime
of meaningful connections made
magical
Let them celebrate your story and remind you of your purpose
You and I are connected through intuition and curiosity. We’re endlessly inspired by the world around us and the people in it. For more than a decade, joy has driven me behind the camera, as I see life in all of its nuance through my lens—including you.
From one deep feeler to another, I’ll tell you a secret: I’ve fallen in love with the way people let go in front of the camera. The tears, the laughter, the dance moves, the hugs with a running start—there’s something so beautifully human about all of it. And in an era of posed perfection and hollow photo ops, the delight of letting go tells a much more compelling story. A story that’s true to you.
that's where i come in.
about me
I'm julie
I'm Julie, a wedding photographer based in Austin, Texas, photographing celebrations around the world for more than 18 years. Over that time, trends have come and gone, traditions have shifted, and the industry has changed in countless ways.
What hasn't changed is this: a photograph's ability to bring you back to a moment not just visually, but emotionally. That's what I'm after every single time.
I've loved photography since I was a small girl, learning to see the world through my father's lens. He was an amateur photographer who shot beautiful 35mm images of our family, and I would cradle those prints in my hands and stare at them for hours. What fascinated me wasn't just that the moment had been captured. It was that the photograph could show you how the moment felt. That distinction has driven everything I've done behind the camera since.
I'm drawn to celebrations with a strong sense of place, beautiful design, and people who genuinely love one another. The flowers, the architecture, the fashion, I want all of it. But I'm equally interested in the parent watching their child get married, the friends laughing around the dinner table, the person who kicks off her shoes because she wants to dance.
My work is rooted in beauty, but beauty alone isn't enough. It's the people experiencing it that give it meaning.
my approach
01
beauty
I have a high visual bar and I bring it to everything I photograph. The light, the composition, the florals, the fashion, the architecture, the atmosphere. I want every image to be something you'd want to hang on your wall.
02
Beauty matters to me, but not for its own sake. I want the details to feel personal and intentional, connected to the people and the place. Everything should mean something.

03
people
The wedding exists because of the people. I photograph the couple, but I'm equally drawn to their families, their friendships, and all of the relationships that brought everyone to this moment. I'm not only photographing two people getting married, but preserving the world that surrounds them.
04
presence
I believe a wedding should be fully lived, not performed for photographs. My job is to know when to step in and create something beautiful, and when to disappear into the background and let life unfold. I want my clients to trust me enough to stop thinking about the camera and simply be there.
