what I'm into & currently on
California truly has my heart & soul. Where mountains meet the sea, redwoods live, deserts with dreamy sand dunes & lush green gardens make me feel so lucky to have grown up in NorCal, and now to call SoCal my settled home.
I get to spend every day actively, intentionally and lovingly with my fiancée, puppy Robbie, and horses Shorty, Fiona, & Chili.

We'll vibe well if you believe:
your wedding honors you as a couple
your wedding's about spending quality time with each other + your guests
your memories are your legacy
in finding joy & comfort in front of the camera
in having romantic, natural, timeless photos
you want light direction for elegant portraits, but also candid, in-between moments captured too
HOW WE'LL COLLABORATE
what you can expect to experience during our time together
Once we're booked, we'll plan a day that perfectly balances the experience you want to have, with the memories you want most.
Before your wedding day, we can be as hands-on as you need us to be in the planning process- and will check in early and often, in case you want to bounce ideas off of us.
We're understanding of the waves of wedding planning, all while balancing your full-time job, a social life, and more! We work to meet you when you have the momentum to check in when it's best.
During the wedding day itself - we'll step in and lead with creative guidance for certain situations, and read the room to step back back when those core memories are unfolding. Ultimately, we're feeding off of your energy to capture what we know current & future you are going to appreciate looking back on from your big day.
my "why"
learn why i'm here for it all
As an adult, it's easy to look back on your memories with that strong sense of nostalgia- but often times, we forget to keep any proof it- even in this increasingly digital age.
A lot of the time growing up, I actually didn't document much of it, because I wanted so much to be in the moment instead of behind a device. I always wished I had someone by my side to capture those moments while I was living them.
That realization hit especially hard when I realized that I wasn't living to my purpose day-to-day in an office job. In fact, I was striving more than ever to make real, authentic, connections with amazing people in-person, while being able to share something tangible with them. Once I learned how to use a camera, it all clicked (literally and figuratively), and here we are.
Looking back at the past can help you appreciate the present, and what's to come in the next milestone. Memories are 1,000% worth celebrating, along with the unique people in our lives, and we should honor that notion by having it all documented along the way.
a balanced, "experience-first" approach
our philosophy and values behind how we capture moments
Simply put, how you experience your wedding day comes above all else0- and photos come second. Capturing connection means stepping back at the right times to let you be present to take the moments in. After all- I've found after documenting weddings professionally for more than 5 years that the photos that end up mattering most are the moments that were authentically experienced.
Our best work comes when you fully lean into the process, and together trust each other wholeheartedly. On your big day, we meet the needs of the moment with empathy and sentiment, and work to always read the room.
We recognize how fleeting the day can become, so we will capture you as the day unfolds - enjoying time with guests, impromptu toasts, big hugs after you walk down the aisle, and so much more.

Kind Words from my couples
" Julianne added SO much value to our wedding day. It's evident that she wanted us to enjoy it as she captured the essence of it. She not only photographed how we wanted the celebration to look and feel- I also didn't know that we could have our relationship dynamic captured so intricately. She was thorough in the planning process, yet she remained super personable on our wedding day- in fact, she really calmed my nerves in a lot of key moments. It was easy to let our guard down in front of her, while welcoming her into our families!
Jules will go above and beyond to make sure you and all of your people feel respected, comfortable, have fun and feel part of the family - all while she's photographing what matters most"

"By far, one of the most fun adventures we got to experience, frolickinig around downtown.
She really wanted us to think about what would be fun for us- not simply trying to add to her portfolio. We decided it would be a blast to go back to Ironside Oyster bar, where we had our first date! She kept vibes high and forced posing nonexistent. We were able to just "be"!
It was so fun wandering the city with her- she reminded us of how spontaneous we can be, and how to reignite the fun. We are SO grateful to have has her snap it all"

"Jules was an absolute pleasure to work with!
She prepped us on what to expect day of, informed us of the places she was scouting, gave us so much inspo, and she explained her process from start to end- I so appreciated that she was on top of everything.
Throughout the shoot, she was energetic and walked us through prompts that encouraged us to be ourselves.
If you want someone that will cheer you on from start to end, is genuine, thoughtful, listens, works as a team, and will capture your most important milestones in life, Jules is your photographer!"
