It's a Pleasure to Meet You
Timeless, light-filled, and full of heart.
I believe your wedding photos should feel as beautiful as they look. Based in Geneva, IL, I capture genuine moments—the laughter, the tears, the quiet in-betweens — that tell your real love story.

From intimate backyard brunch weddings to grand celebrations, I bring calm, guidance, and creative direction to make your day seamless and unforgettable.

Client Testimonial
Julie is simply the BEST! Her images are stunning and elegant and always seem to capture the true essence of the subject. Her pictures never feel stuffy or forced or staged. She has been photographing our family for 5 years and I mean it when I say I cherish every image. My home is filled with them. She always manages to capture the perfect shots, even when the kids are crabby or the weather isn’t cooperating. Beyond her photography skills, Julie is a lovely person. She’s kind and funny and amazing with the kids. I promise you won’t regret spending an hour in her presence! Book her!

How many photographs are included?
Expect no less than 40 per hour. Your collection will be delivered to you via an online gallery, where you can share and download files to print.
I feel nervous that I will be awkward in front of the camera and my photographs won't turn out.
Believe it or not, you do not need to worry here. I keep talking to you and moving you. I share about shows, podcasts, and my family. My goal is to bring out that natural smile, and so far, after 14 years, it has always worked.
I would like you to photograph my wedding, but no listed package fits our needs.
I will build a custom package that fits both your style and budget.
When will I receive my wedding photographs?
6 weeks or earlier
I am worried about how many hours and package features I should choose.
I will walk you through a possible timeline and options during our first meeting. We will have another meeting to finalize your timeline about a month before your wedding, and I am always available to discuss or meet with you as needed.
Photographs captured our unfiltered spirit. During your wedding, I capture not only the interactions between the couple but also those between the guests. You will never have this exact group together again, and photographs are our legacy. I cannot wait to add your wedding date to my calendar!
