    I've worked with Judson many times - not only as a fellow wedding vendor, but she's also captured photos of me and my family that I absolutely treasure. At weddings, she expertly captures the most incredible candid photos that capture the moment and the evening perfectly, and she directs friends and family during formal photos so well that it feels seamless! The only personal photos I have hanging in my home are her film photos of my family, because they don't feel cheesy - they feel like art. She's also an incredible person who is inclusive of all folks and captures queer love in such a gorgeous way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Judson was great. She was a joy, very capable and has a great eye. She made us feel comfortable and found a great balance of being present while also giving us space to celebrate. So excited to see the film images she sends along.

    LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! When we decide to have a wedding and not elope we knew our budget would be tight, but the photographer was the one thing we weren’t willing to compromise on. The catering and the venue could be modest, but our photographs will be part of our big day forever. Judson is the most kind and professional person we have worked with for our wedding. She was able to assist us through out the whole engagement through to the wedding day. Her artistic talent speaks for itself in the quality of our pictures. We couldn’t of asked for a more lovely person to work with. She was able to help us express our love and capture the true beauty of how we were loved.

    Being a producer, photographer, and a photographer's agent, finding the perfect photographer for our wedding was actually quite a hard decision to make! Luckily, our planner who is also a photographer, recommended Judson to us. We are so grateful to have Judson be a part of our marriage celebration. The pre-planning was very thorough and thoughtful, and she made sure she got all of the information she needed in ahead of time. She came well prepared, was able to wrangle our families who met for the very first time that evening, and made us feel very comfortable and at ease during out portrait session. Judson captured the essence of our celebration, made us and our friends and family look super cute, and documented all the beautiful moments that happened throughout the night. We were truly blessed by her talent and we are so happy to have such wonderful visual documentation of our special day.
