Intentionally getting to know my couples, who they are and forming relationships with them, is at the heart of my business. And it starts the moment you inquire. When I respond to your inquiry, I ask questions to learn more about your love story, and also share a little about me--that's only fair, right? I take time to answer any questions (in person, by zoom or email) so that you feel comfortable before committing to a wedding photography investment.
You want all the love, emotions and treasured relationships captured on your wedding day.
Yes! That's for me!

"Having Julie be our wedding photographer was one of the easiest decisions my wife and I made during the entire wedding planning process!
She was so nice and encouraging the entire wedding day and during all of our engagement pictures. Julie is willing to go out of her way to make sure your pictures are absolutely perfect and that they are exactly how you want them.
Julie is prepared for any possibility during the photo shoot, whether that be having a mini sewing kit on hand, ibuprofen readily available, or a snack in her purse because you got a little hungry.
Julie has surprised us with so many little gifts throughout the process which made our experience so much more fun. Julie has the kindest heart and will do everything in her power to make sure you are satisfied with your photoshoot.
"Julie is simply amazing! Just a few days after we got engaged, my husband and I asked Julie to be our wedding photographer and it was one of the easiest decisions we made! For our engagement session, she was willing to drive 2 hours to the place we met, Purdue University. We walked allover the campus to our favorite spots. The pictures were stunning and a fun way for us to not only celebrate our engagement, but also our graduation from Purdue.
Leading up to the wedding, Julie helped us make lots of decisions like whether we wanted to do a first look or not. She was so patient with our indecisiveness and did everything in her power to make sure our day was set up to be perfect.
On the day itself, she worked quickly in the cold, and gave us easy, effortless instructions to follow. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and helped ease our nerves. Julie captured the most stunning images! We were so fortunate to have a beautiful fall day before the ceremony and then gorgeous snow after! Julie was so excited with us to take advantage of new scenery. She was able to take pictures at all parts of the day and we cherish them all! We highly recommend Julie!

"I could go on forever about Julie and how amazing she is!! She has captured so many special moments in our lives. My husband Brock and I were so fortunate to have her photograph our wedding! She was so understanding, patient, and thoughtful. She captured moments from the ceremony that seemed impossible, and managed to do it without anyone noticing.
Our wedding was in the middle of January. It was freezing!!! We decided to take our First Look photos and Bridal Party Photos outside. While we all complained about how cold we were and smiled

Our wedding was in the middle of January. It was freezing!!! We decided to take our First Look photos and Bridal Party Photos outside. While we all complained about how cold we were and smiled through gritted teeth, Julie worked her magic in record time!! She gave us SO many gorgeous photos that hang on every wall of our home!!
Julie also photographed my best friend’s wedding this fall and it was amazing to see everything she does from a different perspective. She takes the most beautiful pictures without adding a bit of stress to the day.
Any couple would be so extremely fortunate to have Julie be a part of their wedding!! We will always remember our special day like it was yesterday thanks to all of the amazing photos she has given us."

"My husband and I asked Julie to be our wedding photographer after we experienced how effortlessly our engagement photo session went with her.
Not only did Julie go out of her way to drive to one location for our engagement photos, but she then drove to a second location where my husband proposed to capture memories there.
We have her pictures displayed all over our home and share the wedding album we purchased every chance we get.

She captured our special day with ease and worked around every bump that may have happened. She did not add to the stress of the day, but alleviated the stress by being on top of the ball and always knowing where to be.
We are very pleased with every product that Julie has given us.
Her work is a 10/10 and worth every penny!"

I was in nursing school throughout the entire wedding planning process, which made scheduling very difficult! Julie was so patient and flexible when it came to scheduling.
...on the wedding day she was on top of getting pictures of everything I wanted and more! I didn’t have to worry about any pictures getting missed or forgotten about, I knew Julie had everything taken care of!
