Behind the Lens

ABOUT julie

Let them celebrate your story and remind you of your purpose

your wedding photographs

You and I are connected through intuition and curiosity. We’re endlessly inspired by the world around us (and the people in it). For over a decade, joy has driven me behind the camera, seeing life in all of its nuance through a tiny viewfinder–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–the joyful falling apart–tells a much more compelling story. A story that’s true to you.

your wedding photographs are

I’m Julie, a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Austin, Texas. Over the past fourteen years, I’ve made a name for myself capturing sophisticated celebrations, elevated experiences, and refined clientele around the globe. I’m thrilled you’re here.

Over the past decade (and then some), I’ve been to my fair share of weddings. Trends have come and gone. Traditions have fallen away for others to rise. At the end of the day, here’s what hasn’t changed: The universal language of photographs. 

When I’m not behind the camera, a perfect day includes breakfast tacos, a great cup of coffee, and a trip to the farmer’s market with my boys. And if we wind things down in the evening with a glass of wine, even better.

about me

"Julie has a gift, she’s kind and talented and has such an eye for the right shot. The entire process of working with her, start to finish, was flawless! We worked with a lot of vendors for our wedding and she was the one we’ll remember years from now."

Megan + Toni

"Julie is a true gem. She perfectly captured our wedding weekend and was a joy to work with. Julie goes above and beyond to give you everything you want and more! If you’re on the lookout for someone to authentically capture your wedding day and make you feel all the feels, Julie is your person. She is magic!"

Jaclyn + Doug

"I love looking at our wedding photos, and love seeing how happy we both were on the day and seeing my family having fun. It was such a fun day and I wish I could go back. The photos make me just appreciate the day and I'm so thankful I got to have a wedding like that."

Kendall + Ben

Tacos. Breakfast Tacos. Tacos in a bowl. Tacos for breakfast, lunch + dinner. In Austin, we believe they are their own food group!

Food

Bingeing Bling Empire. Starting and never finishing books. Hoarding too many crystals. Blaring hip-hop music in the car by myself.

guilty pleasures

04

My life partner + our two boys (Gray + Ash). Going on adventures, spending hours playing in the water, going to eat tacos together, really anywhere in the world with my three favorite humans is home to me.

I'm Italian and coffee may or may not run in my veins. I like to spend a few extra intentional moments each morning staring out at my garden while making a yummy cup of pour-over coffee - enjoying the peace + quiet before the craziness of the day takes over.

Part of My Day

02

There is nothing that makes my heart happier than experiencing new cultures and seeing new landscapes. Work has taken me places all over the world - from New Zealand to South Africa to the Virgin Islands. But I also love to take my family on adventures, like "living" in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico for a month last summer.

Really getting to know the couples and connecting with their families. I am the luckiest that I get to truly see + experience so many different people as they celebrate such an intimate and important milestone. I get to capture that moment for them to remember forever. Generations, again and again, will get to experience this day through my images - such an incredible honor + gift.
