Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Juls for our wedding! Since we live in Nashville, it was so hard for me to find vendors— especially as our wedding was on Mother’s Day! From the very first email, Julianne and I connected and she was so professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about capturing our special day. On the day of the wedding, she was such a calming presence, seamlessly blending into the background while capturing every important moment with such artistry and detail. My husband was so incredibly nervous and shy, but she made him feel so comfortable and not at all out of his element. I also absolutely adored her enthusiasm over all the amazing pictures she was taking of us and it was so obvious she enjoyed every second of our day along with us. The photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly encapsulate the love, joy, and magic of our celebration. We are so grateful for the beautiful memories that Juls has preserved for us. If you're looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer, look no further! Highly recommend.

Nikki was my college senior picture photographer. I wanted to do 3 very different photo shoots, as well as incorporate my college friends and my dog. Nikki was able to execute my vision perfectly!!! She knew the perfect locations and captured the vibe I was going for in each session perfectly. I am very detailed oriented and she made sure to capture all the small personal details I wanted included as well. These are my favorite pictures I’ve ever had taken. She was so encouraging and made me feel extremely comfortable behind the camera. Whether you are wanting something more traditional or something completely unique, Nikki will execute it beautifully!!

I shot my first wedding July 2007 on eight days notice for a family friend. It was exhilarating. I fell in love with documenting and creating memories for my first bride and groom, Nicki & Jay. They loved my work. I found my professional calling. In 2009, I opened the business and started officially offering my services as a professional Atlanta wedding photographer. Since then, I’ve prided myself on caring about your special day more than any other vendor participating in your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Danielle was so much fun to work with for my surprise engagement at Chateau Elan! The photos turned out absolutely wonderful. She captured our personalities beautifully, and the quality was above and beyond. We were also thrilled that she was able to take so many photos with our family and friends who were with us that day as well. I was so shocked by the proposal that I kept wiping the tears off my face, but she was quick to step in and help me wipe my face without losing all my makeup! We were in a slight rush to make it to a surprise dinner that my fiancee set up, but she was able to take us to all the best spots within a limited time frame. She also did a great job at suggesting poses that were comfortable for both of us. Dani is awesome and I couldn't recommend her more for your surprise engagement! :)
