MEET JULIE charleston based. passport ready. fully present.
Photographer. Hype girl. Calm in the chaos. Twenty years in and still completely obsessed.
Your wedding weekend should feel like you, not a production schedule.
I bring joyful, grounded energy so you can be fully present while I capture it all as it naturally unfolds. I care deeply about my couples, not just the images, but how you feel from the welcome party to the last dance. The quiet glances, the loud laughter, the in between magic. I see it all.
Flexibility is my superpower.
I can document an intimate Caribbean celebration with no shot list, guided by instinct and connection, or lead a team of five or more photographers for a five hundred guest event with calm precision and clarity. With nearly twenty years of experience, I know when to step in, when to step back, and how to protect the energy of a moment while delivering elevated, editorial imagery.
Polished but never stiff. Candid yet intentional. Elevated and relaxed. Even camera shy couples leave saying it felt easy.
Based in Charleston and traveling worldwide, I take on a limited number of weddings each year so every couple receives my full attention and care. Trusted by world class planners and featured in British Vogue, Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides, Style Me Pretty, and Over The Moon.
This is more than documentation.
It is your story told honestly, joyfully, and beautifully.

A personal note from Julie
My family is everything to me, so I’m honored to work with yours!
Having a background in Painting, Interior Design and Art History has given me an impeccable eye for detail and a love of all things art and culture, which I have applied to capturing the beauty of weddings these past 19 years.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me lounging on my candlelit rooftop, sipping champagne and enjoying the simple things in life, barefoot, with my closest friends and family.
You may also find me diving into a turquoise ocean or jogging around a new beautiful city, scouting out beautiful light-filled places to photograph.
In the end, client satisfaction has always been the most important thing to me. I pride myself on truly getting to know my couples: their love story, how they envision their special day, and keeping that at the center of my work. Extensive preparation and surrounding myself with a team that brings a hard-working, joyous energy has proven to create a professional and relaxed environment on my wedding days.
your experience is everything to me
