Experience wedding photography that feels beautiful & elevated
I believe the best photographs happen when you are being truly present. That is why my process is centered around you. I customize my approach to fit your unique personalities and celebration. My goal is always to have photography seamlessly flow throughout the day, making space for all those magical moments to happen.

Let’s Make Some Magic
I create custom wedding guides tailored to your vision and celebration. The proposal will take into account the specifics of your photography coverage needs, location, travel and more.
My photographic style is a mix of portraiture, photojournalism and editorial photography. I bring different styles of photography to different moments, from being subtle at the ceremony with a long-range lens, to guiding you through portraits. I take pride in watching the day unfold, and capturing the moments that mean the most.

"Once we were done with the formal portraits, she let the pictures happen naturally. I never felt forced or overly posed, which I really appreciated as we wanted to have memories that captured us being in the moment. We could feel that she genuinely loved being there to capture our day, which made the biggest difference."
“Julia let the pictures happen naturally."

How far do you travel?
There is no distance too far and I love exploring new places! Photography has taken me all over the USA, as well as France, Switzerland, Italy, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Ethiopia & Kenya.
Where are you based?
I’m in historic Wooster Square in New Haven, Connecticut and South Hero, Vermont in the Summer & Fall.
What will it feel like to be photographed?
My photography style is very intuitive. Sometimes I'm by your side and other times you won't even know I'm there. I will give you direction when those right moments present themselves. My goal is for you to feel fully present and comfortable on your wedding day.
How many photographs will I receive?
It depends on the event and the number of hours of coverage. Weddings can expect a range of 800+ and engagement sessions around 60+
Do you work with a second photographer?
Usually, Yes! This enables all those beautiful moments to be documented. When I hear more about your celebration, I'll be able to advise you on how many photographers should be present to document your wedding.
How do you photograph group shots?
I will talk with you ahead of the wedding to identify all the key people. I will organize the groupings and set aside time for all those group portraits to happen, and then get you back to the party!
Can I print my photos?
Yes! You can download and print your photos as many times as you'd like. The private online gallery that I’ll send you is hooked up to a great printing service or you can print on your own.
Should I get an album?
There are moments and conversations with family, friends and future generations that happen around physical wedding albums that just don’t happen when you login to an online gallery or post images on social media. These experiences run deep. Read more about albums.
I don't want my photographs online, is that a problem?
Your privacy is very important to me, and I can adjust secrecy, security and availability of your images based on our arrangement.
Did you get the Covid Vaccine?
Yes! I am delighted to be 4x vaccinated.
How do you feel about LGBTQ+ marriage?
I fully support LGBTQ+ marriage and unions! I identify as queer and use the pronouns she/her. I encourage all my couples to share their pronouns with me. You may have seen my work published on Equally Wed.
How do you feel about Black Lives Matter?
YES!! Black Lives Matter!!!
Do you have any advice for couples planning their wedding?
Yes! I have Planning Resources & Advice on my blog, and I’m always happy to talk with my couples about anything!
Do you have insurance?
Yes.
Are there wedding professionals you recommend?
Yes! I love guiding you to trusted and talented people. Check out my Favorite Vendors list.
