The Best Wedding Vendors in Merkel, TX

Julia James Photography Co. is a portrait and wedding photographer based in Texas and serving clients worldwide. No matter what season of life you're celebrating, I'm here to create images that feel true to you.

Photography became meaningful to me at a young age after seeing how much wedding and family photos mattered within my community. What started with capturing my own family grew into a passion for preserving genuine emotion and connection. Today, I focus on wedding photography with a natural, timeless style. My goal is to create a relaxed experience so couples can enjoy their day while I capture the moments, details, and emotions that make their story unique.

I was born and raised in Joshua, Texas, graduated from Texas Tech University in 2016, and currently live on a ranch in Throckmorton, Texas with my husband and our 3 little girls. I'm a firm believer that whatever is meant to be, will be, but also that the grass is greener where you water it. More often than not, you can find me decorating a new space, redecorating an old space, or just mommin' the day away. I love a good road trip - spontaneous or well planned, and tiny West Texas towns fuel my love for antiques.

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.
