Julia Beemer Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
Bartow, FL
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,200

Hi, I’m Julia! I photograph weddings throughout Florida (and beyond) with a focus on genuine moments, real connection, and days that feel natural rather than staged. My approach is calm and intentional, helping couples feel comfortable and supported from the very first conversation through gallery delivery. I believe your wedding photos should reflect how your day felt — the quiet in-between moments, the people who matter most, and the story you’ll want to revisit years from now.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation on Zoom to our send off on our wedding day Julia was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had a specific vision for our wedding and she immediately synced with our vibe and vision. Her personality, enthusiasm and warmth show that she is much more than an amazing photographer but an excellent human being. She fit in seamlessly with our crowd and captured the memories that we dreamed of easily. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Julia for your event, you won't regret it!

I truly can't say enough good things about Carissa. She was so great and easy to work with. I'm someone who is particular about makeup, and I was genuinely so happy with how it turned out on my wedding day. When I got my pictures and video back, I kept thinking "wow, I LOVE the way I look!" Carissa made me feel so beautiful on a day that can be overwhelming and stressful. All of my bridesmaids loved the way their makeup turned out as well (and we all know it can be hard to please a bunch of women). I would 100% recommend booking with Carissa.

This venue is beyond gorgeous! And the staff / wedding day management were absolutely amazing and so patient. Cameron and Ana were so great and I’m so thankful for them helping out for our big day ! It was supposed to rain so last minute they had to push evening inside and it ended up being everything I hoped for. I would highly recommend anyone to get married at this venue ( or any of their venues ) and to make sure you get the wedding day management. The bridal bubble was not popped at all and I was as stress free as an already Anxious bride could get. They checked in all the time to make sure I was okay and to keep me on the loop as far as how the timeline was going. Thank you guys for everything you guys did for us on our big day !

It has been a month since my son and new daughter's wedding and I just wanted to tell you that the catering was superb! The food was delicious, the charcuterie table arrangement was beautiful, and your staff was very professional to work with. Not only was everything that was promised delivered, there were extras thrown in as well that made the event even more special. I feel for everything you did for us, making sure that all the details were perfectly executed, made the value of the service you provided more than worth the expense it cost me. Your knowledge of event planning and your professional, friendly approach made the major part of the reception delightful. The best part of all, was when my new daughter in-law told me that the wedding was even better than she had hoped it would be!

The Garden Ballroom was a fantastic choice for our wedding venue. Their communication was pretty good, with a couple of minor issues getting in touch at times, but overall they were very responsive and helpful. The quality of their work and the value they provided was incredible - the space was absolutely beautiful and worth every penny. They went above and beyond in a few ways, like serving Cuban coffee (which was perfect since I married into a Cuban family) and even making sure my mom, who wasn't originally planned to walk down the aisle, was able to do so last minute. The staff was great and made sure our whole day ran smoothly. We loved our experience at The Garden Ballroom and would recommend them 10 out of 10. I'm especially grateful they made sure to include my mom, as she sadly passed away just 4 months later.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Graingertainment for our wedding! We booked them through a concierge package with our venue, Haus 820, almost 1.5 years out from the wedding, and our experience with them was amazing from start to finish! One of my favorite parts was having access to Graingertainment’s planning portal, which allowed us to slowly build out our timeline and song preferences throughout the entire planning process. Their timeline was incredibly detailed and helped us think through every step of the day from an MC and music-perspective, which made planning feel much more manageable. A few weeks before the wedding, our DJ, Antonio, reached out to connect with us. From our very first phone call, it was clear that he was a true professional. On the wedding day, he exceeded our expectations in every way. He honored all of our requests while also intuitively reading the room and adjusting to the energy of the crowd. Everything felt seamless. We had countless guests come up to us saying how much they loved the music and that they had never had so much fun at a wedding before. We truly credit so much of that to Antonio and Graingertainment for keeping the vibe going all night long. We would 1000% recommend Graingertainment, and especially Antonio, to anyone looking for a smooth, fun, and unforgettable wedding night.

My wife, Summer, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2024. This year, I decided to apply to Wish Upon a Wedding in hopes of giving Summer the day she always hoped for. Wish Upon a Wedding is a nonprofit organization that gifts weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal or life-changing illnesses. When they came into our lives, Summer and I were in a season where joy felt complicated and hope looked very different than we imagined. Through Wish Upon a Wedding, we were paired with our wedding planner, Married by Mariella. Mariella donated her time, talent, and heart completely free of charge. What’s important to say is that Mariella didn’t just coordinate our vow renewal. She planned it from the ground up, picking every single vendor and executing the day completely. She took Summer’s vision and brought it to life with care, intention, and deep respect for what this moment meant to us. Every detail reflected the image Summer and I had hoped for, and Mariella carried that responsibility with such grace. She led with compassion and patience, making the process feel calm and supported rather than overwhelming. There was never pressure, never rushing, and never an expectation for us to pretend things were easy. Because of Wish Upon a Wedding and Mariella’s selfless generosity, Summer and I were able to stand together, renew our vows, and experience joy without guilt in the middle of a very heavy season. Mariella and Rachael made this the best day of our lives. We will always be grateful, not just for a beautiful day, but for a memory we will carry for the rest of our lives. We could never thank her enough!

The final photos are absolutely stunning - the dreamiest shots that we will proudly display in our home for years to come. Wellman & Co gave us the wedding photography experience we had dreamed of having, and I would recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, kind, and friendly photography team.

I care deeply about your experience and I hope that your wedding day feels fun and unforgettable. I anticipate moments before they happen; like a burst of laughter or a tearful reaction. That's how I capture genuine emotions. I help my couples avoid feeling overwhelmed on their wedding day. I offer guidance when needed, but also know when to step back so you can be fully present in the moment knowing that your wedding photos are in good hands.

These guys were one of my favorite parts of our wedding! We still look at the pictures and the fabulous album we got. The quality of the prints and the album were above and beyond! Their professionalism and crystal clear communication was exactly what everyone needs for their wedding. Years later, I'm still thrilled with the experience.

Kakes By Kiersten was an excellent choice for our wedding cake09. Their communication was superb, with replies to our inquiries within a few hours. The cake they created was absolutely beautiful, with lovely flower decorations that they added for us. But most importantly, the cake tasted amazing - it was the best gluten-free cake we had ever eaten. Kiersten and her team were very friendly and professional throughout the process, and they delivered the cake on time, ensuring it was fresh and perfect for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better vendor to work with for our wedding. Highly recommend Kakes By Kiersten!
