here for the
joyful, whimsical, real
And I firmly believe having a photographer there should only make it better – even if you normally hate having your picture taken.
Before your wedding, I’ll get to know you and understand what is most important to you, so I can capture your wedding in a way that feels honest and joyful.
I promise not to drag you away from your party for hours on end, force you into cheesy poses or leave you hanging with awkward silences during portraits.
Instead, I’ll joke with your mates, chat up your nan and make space for you to genuinely connect so your story shines through in every image.
Above all, I want you to enjoy the moment. This is my job, but it’s your day, and I’m here to help you soak up every second.

"Julia is a genuinely talented photographer and an amazing person. Hiring her to photograph our wedding was the best decision we made and we would recommend her to anyone! From our first meeting she was so professional, friendly and approachable. Leading up to our wedding she was amazing at helping us organise our timelines, inspiration, group shots and all the logistical things.
This was an immense help and we credit her knowledge and experience for helping our day run as smoothly as it did. Jules was so well prepared and had visited our locations to plan the shots and collaborate with our other vendors. We loved that she really took our inspiration ideas into account and was so seamless in how she integrated these shots into our day (to the point where we didn’t even realise that she was taking them.)
We could not be happier with our photos, they truly tell the story of our wedding day in a way that we will treasure forever. She has an eye for detail and captured elements of the day we would have never thought of ourselves but are so grateful to have to look back on.
Amazing photographer. Amazing person. Julia we are so grateful."

ON YOUR WEDDING DAY
I'll be there early, with a big smile, lots of batteries, back up cameras and good vibes. I'll introduce myself to everyone and make sure you feel calm and centred. I'll keep an eye on the timeline so you can stay present.
01 /
When it comes to your ceremony, I take a documentary approach. I'll focus on you, your bridal party and your guest's reactions without interrupting the flow.
02 /
As we switch to group shots, I'll use my 'outside voice' to herd guests with military precision. I'll encourage natural interactions and laughter so you don't all look like deers in headlights. I know everyone will be keen to party so I try to make this as quick and hilarious as possible.
03 /
Your portrait session is a break from the rush of the day - a chance to slow down, soak it in and reconnect. We can get it done in 15 minutes or take our time to get even more variety of wedding photos.
04 /
During your reception, I'll aim to capture those unposed moments of laughter, joy and silliness – your baby cousin eyeing off the cake, your best mates belting out Pink Pony Club on the dancefloor, and you two sharing a cheeky snog when you think no-one is looking.

"Amazing photographer and a wonderful person who helped make our day perfect.
Julia found us the perfect location to suit our pre-ceremony photos and captured the memories of our wedding day. When we got our sneak peak a couple of days later, both myself and my husband were totally blown away. Then to receive the rest a couple of weeks later and getting to sit down and relive it all was so lovely. Seeing the candid shots of special moments of us with our family and friends we didn’t even know we’re being taken was unbelievable.
Julia captured “us” and our personalities shone through, we can’t stop looking at them!!"

editing process
I spend many hours editing each image by hand, removing distractions and perfecting colours, to thoroughly and artistically tell your love story.
I believe edits should enhance the beauty of an image without distracting from all of the feeling. My editing style is dreamy and soft, with film-like grain and a nostalgic feel.
I’m happy to gently smooth skin or remove a pimple, but I won’t airbrush you into oblivion or snip two inches off your waist. You are gorgeous just as you are – wildly alive and wildly in love.
You can expect to receive your sneak peek images within a few days and your full gallery within four weeks.
“OMG Julia, where do I begin? These are the most beautiful photos. You captured these memories so perfectly and we are so grateful."
