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
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!!!

I am a professional photographer, husband, and a father of four! My wonderful wife will often be found behind the second camera capturing weddings with me! It never gets old seeing two people enjoy such a big moment and milestone in their life! For several years it has been our focus to help couples prepare for their big day and to freeze those special moments in time!

From our first conversation, Julius Bonner made us feel like he genuinely cared about our wedding day. His communication before the event was thoughtful and detailed, and on the day itself, he had an instinct for capturing moments we didn't even know we wanted: the quiet glances, the unexpected laughs, the details that made our day uniquely ours. What really sets Julius apart is how intentional he is about understanding what matters to each couple. He delivered photos that exceeded what we imagined, and every single image felt like a memory we'd treasure forever. If you're looking for a photographer, choosing Julius is a decision you won't regret. We're grateful he was there to document our special day.

The biggest rave of the day from our guests came from Lakeland BBQ! They did a massive grazing table for our cocktail hour (at my request and they delivered TENFOLD - it was almost gone by the time of the reception) and we did an Italian buffet for the reception. During the tasting, we absolutely loved loved loveddd their food and tried out all sorts of cuisines they offered. Melissa, the catering manager, was very nice and super helpful throughout the process!

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!

I found Clabo Event Services on Zola at the beginning of 2025. My wedding was 10/11/25 and Sarah was an absolute joy to work with! I hired her as a day-of coordinator and she went above and beyond. She was available for questions at any point from the time I booked with her, to the wedding day, to even after the wedding. I had multiple calls and meetings with Sarah in the months leading up to the wedding to make sure our day looked perfect. On my wedding day, Sarah and her husband were there literally all day setting everything up the way that I had envisioned. There were a couple small hiccups with vendors that I didn't even hear about! They handled anything and everything without having to bring me into it which I appreciated so much!

I am si happy we found JES wedding films and that we decided to go with them. It was very easy to communicate with them. They would respond to emails promptly. Their form was easy to fill out and to the point. They helped make wedding day a success and worked great with our photographer to make sure we didn’t have to do things twice. The end product was beautiful! Absolutely loved! I would definitely pick them again for any event.

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.

Andy was so great to work with! My husband and I were very comfortable talking with him and having our pictures taken by him. Both the candid-type photos and the posed photos turned out incredible. He made all the photos look so colorful and beautiful, which is exactly what we wanted. We would absolutely recommend light up photography to any couple looking for a photographer.

I highly recommend Kiersten to help with all of your sweet needs! My husband and I found Kiersten off of a Facebook promo post and from the moment we booked with her, she has been nothing shy of top-tiered service! You can tell that she pours her heart and soul into her cakes and desserts because, in the last few months, she has flourished in the details of her work! We booked her services almost one year ago for our wedding in Sept, but due to a tragic emergency surgery, the wedding had to be postponed very last- minute to December and Kiersten did not waiver in her gratitude towards my husband and I. Her effortless generosity meant a lot to us because, in a moment of stressful events, she brought light to us and did not hesitate to postpone her services back a few weeks. She offered a delightful selection of flavors, fillings, and options. We ordered a two-tiered wedding cake with all the fillings and different flavors, alongside a groom cake that we added at the last minute and both were very decadent and beautifully designed. On our wedding day, the cake was just as we had envisioned. We asked her to keep the wedding cake very sleek, simple, and plain because our florist would be decorating the cake in a very unique way. The intricate floral details and elegant design were absolutely stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better centerpiece for our reception. And the best part? The cake tasted just as good as it looked! I cannot recommend Kakes By Kiersten highly enough. She truly made our wedding experience sweeter and unforgettable. If you're looking for a wedding cake that combines artistry, flavor, and exceptional service, look no further! Thank you, Kiersten, for being a part of our special day!
