Natalie and Andy chose to get married at one of my favorite venues in Big Sur, the incredibly stunning Wind and Sea! This venue is located on a cliff right over the ocean and has some of the most amazing views. They celebrated their day with all their friends and family. They chose to save their bride and groom photos until the next day so they wouldnt have to take time away from their guests. The next evening we met again and did a Trash the Dress shoot. We ran all around Big Sur. Frolicking in the surf and posing them on the cliff sides with their adorable dog Biscuit.
Review from Natalie and Andy:
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Julia who is an extraordinary wedding photographer and transformed our special moments into timeless treasures. From the very first interaction to the final delivery of our breathtaking photos, every aspect of our experience with Julia was nothing short of exceptional.
Julia immediately stood out for he kindness and genuine passion for capturing love stories. Her warm and welcoming demeanor put us at ease right from our initial meeting. It was evident that she not only had a keen eye for photography but also a deep understanding of the emotions that come with weddings.
Communication played a crucial role throughout the entire process, and Julia exceeded our expectations. She was always prompt in responding to our abundant questions. Her professionalism and transparency created a sense of trust that allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our special day.
What truly sets Julia apart is her ability to capture the essence of our relationship. The engagement session was a delightful prelude to the wedding day. It helped us get used to being in front of the lens and the resulting photos perfectly reflected our connection. On our wedding day, Julia seamlessly blended into the family, capturing both candid moments and the grandeur romance of the day. The trash the dress shoot Julia offers was a breathtaking memorable experience that we would recommend all couples do. In addition, Julia was so amazing including our dog Biscuit. My husband and I wanted pieces of art for our home that balanced both the most incredible day of our lives and the beauty of our favorite place on Earth. Julia gave that to us. For that we are entirely grateful.
The final photo collection surpassed our wildest dreams. Julia has an incredible talent for turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. The attention to detail, the play of light and shadow, and the genuine emotions captured in each frame left us in awe. Looking through the pictures felt like reliving the joy, laughter, and love that filled our wedding day.
In summary, Julia is not just a photographer; she is a storyteller and artist who crafts narratives through the lens. Her kindness, passion, welcoming nature, understanding, excellent communication, and trustworthiness set the stage for an unforgettable collaboration. We wholeheartedly recommend Julia Goldberg to anyone seeking not just a photographer, but an artist who transforms moments into memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.
