Wedding Photos

This is a small portion of my portfolio of California weddings, soon to be all Joshua Tree weddings and elopements.

Looking through the pictures always brings back the feeling of that day, the love of our friends and some very magical moments.

“We knew we were creating a non-traditional/casual wedding so we really wanted to find a photographer who got it and would capture the feeling while also being a part of it.

Julie was so great and fit right in to the flow of our wedding! She was able to get up close and personal…capturing amazing moments all while remaining virtually invisible. The way she worked with us individually was super fun and loving. Instead of feeling pressured and on-the-spot, we really felt like we could just be ourselves.

The pictures are BEAUTIFUL! Julie captured it perfectly. It seemed like she was always in the right place at the right time to snap a magical moment. Looking through the pictures always brings back the feeling of that day, the love of our friends and some very magical moments.”

Imagine this...

The setting sun warms you as the quiet settles in.

Today, you’ve wandered and laughed and cried all at once.

You hold your partner and feel connected.

A ceremony more sacred than you’ve imagined; happy to be the magic.

What will your Joshua Tree wedding

look like?

Go for a sunrise hike that you’ll always remember, or enjoy sleeping in and be served breakfast-in-bed.

You can explore Joshua Tree National Park for hours, or just relax all day at your airbnb pool and hot tub.

Have dinner and see live music in Pioneertown, or plan a private, all-night party with all of your friends.

Let’s make it the wedding of your dreams that you may have never dreamed of.

My partner and I (and the rest of our families!) are very camera shy and Julie made us feel very comfortable and special throughout the day.

“I highly recommend Julie! She made all the planning very easy and was in fast-communication all the way up to the day of the event. I appreciated that she checked-in to make sure all our photography requests were honored. My partner and I (and the rest of our families!) are very camera shy and Julie made us feel very comfortable and special throughout the day. She was detailed oriented and so thoughtful in the directions she gave us. Julie has a lovely presence and vibe and we felt so honored she was there to capture our wedding moments. ”
