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
Julia and her second photographer Sarah were absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond to get the shots we wanted for our wedding. They meshed so well with our guests and made everyone feel comfortable to have fun with the photos. The sneak peek photos were so so beautiful, they brought back the feeling of those moments. I couldn’t have picked a better photographer for my wedding!!!

Dorcas was great from the very beginning. She made everything so easy and helped put the whole package together with the catering, bartender, photographer, DJ, and décor. Everyone did an amazing job. The food was delicious, the bartender was fun, the DJ played exactly what we wanted, and Susan made everything look beautiful. It was all set up just the way I pictured it. I felt like I was probably a little difficult because I knew exactly what I wanted and was very straightforward, but Dorcas never made me feel that way. She was always kind and reassuring. The pricing was very reasonable for everything that was included, and I honestly didn't have to lift a finger on our wedding day. Everything went smoothly, and we had such a great time. I would definitely recommend them!

Hello friends! My name is Mariella. I’m 26 year old, a wife, a girl mama, and proud business owner! I have always loved everything about weddings. From start to finish I love the aspect of planning every detail and bringing a vison to life. My passion for this industry has grown throughout the years. After working under another planner my love for this grew even stronger and that's when I decided it's time to start my own business and take this journey at full force. I absolutely love what I do!

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!

Words can't describe how amazing Mary Marsh is. From the beginning Mary was helpful and organized, offering helpful tips, tricks, and leads while we were planning our DIY wedding. Photos were top of priority list, and we knew that Mary's style would capture our day beautifully. Throughout the process, Mary met with us in person multiple times to ensure that we were getting exactly what we wanted out of our experience. During our engagement shoot, Mary quickly made us feel like we were old friends, resulting in some of the most beautiful pictures because over everything, she made us feel comfortable. On the actual day of our wedding, Mary continued to go above and beyond to make our day as perfect as it could be.

Hello, my name is Nestor Correa, and I’m a photographer devoted to capturing love stories as they truly unfold. Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember—it’s how I see the world and how I preserve moments that matter. Before choosing a photographer, I invite you to ask yourselves what you truly want from your wedding images. If you’re simply looking for photographs of a wedding day, there are many talented photographers who can provide that. What I offer is something deeper.

Had a wonderful experience with Nestor for our baby shower. Such a talent and kind soul! Will definitely use him again!

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.

"I'm a witness of Life in its best moments" Hi, I'm Nacho! A professional Photographer seeking beauty and real life moments, I help nervous & shy couples relax and enjoy their day. First, I am a kind person. Then, a skilled seeker of unforgettable memories. I am the one who appreciates the smallest details. I am the witness of life in its best versions and the custodian of the fact that everything was real. This is me, Nacho! The fortunate stranger who today has the pleasure of saying that he captures love where others only see a simple wedding.

Hands down the best wedding decision we made was hiring Nacho - and my husband says it all the time! Nacho is incredibly talented at getting the perfect shots but his service is so much more than his photography. He seamlessly fits whatever role is needed in the moment - handling stressful family situations, helping navigate busy timelines, keeping things moving and bringing a genuine “good energy” to the day. He showed up as our photographer but ended the day as everyone’s favorite person. My 4 year old niece still asks about him every day! He leaves a lasting impression and his photos truly capture every moment and emotion that we all want to remember from our wedding days. (Side note: he is very talented at understanding lighting and I’m blown away at how well he captured the natural sunlight during golden hour.) I am beyond thankful that we hired Nacho and highly recommend him for any event or wedding. Extra: Our photography package included an engagement shoot. However, on the day of the shoot a hurricane came through Florida and we had to cancel so Nacho offered us a photo book after the wedding. And let me tell you, this photo book isn’t just any photo book. The quality is unlike anything I have seen. It truly is an heirloom-quality memory book with thick, archival cardstock pages. I highly encourage you to add on Nacho’s photo books if you can!
