California-Based Wedding & Elopement Photographer

Capturing your love filled moments in the Bay Area & Beyond

Images for the adventurers at heart

did your heart just skip a beat when you saw the word adventure?

Me too…you’re in the right place. In fact, I believe life is one big adventure and it shouldn’t be wasted sweating the small stuff - especially during life’s most special moments.

These special moments should be a stress-free reflection of you. Every minute of your wedding day should be spent doing what you love - things that bring a smile to your face and peace to your heart. I’m here to not only capture your milestones but plan every detail with you.

From your initial inquiry to your gallery delivery, I will help you create light, love-filled moments you can cherish for a lifetime

welcome!!

Hey, I’m Julia!

Animal lover, world traveler, and doting cat mom. Photography is not just a job for me. It is truly my favorite thing to do.

For years, I traveled solo around the world without anything except a backpack and my camera. My curiosity took me to every corner of the world, capturing images of the most remote locations.

These days, my favorite images to capture are the ones of YOU!

“Julia was the absolute best. We loved working with her and the photos came out amazing! I was blown away with the final product, the pictures are amazing.”

Alena & Partner

“Julia is truly a master at her craft.
There is zero chance you could ever regret asking her to be a part of any photography you need.”

Leela, Jake, and Kalea

I don’t know if you’ve heard but…tradition is out.

You can do whatever you want.
You can get married however you want.

  • My fiancé and I are incredibly awkward and overthink our poses in front of the camera, so we were nervous about having our photos taken. Julia is excellent at giving the right level of direction while still capturing truly organic moments and poses. She’s easy-going and fun to work with, and delivers high-quality images. Her service packages are more than reasonable given her level care and attention.

  • Julia's photos have commemorated our engagement, bringing home a new puppy, and most recently our pregnancy announcement. She is accommodating to come to wherever we want to shoot, and also has great destination shoot recommendations. We feel awkward in front of a camera, but Julia does a great job guiding our poses, orchestrating the entire process, and does a phenomenal job at editing - so the end product is always stunning. I can't wait for her to be our dedicated family photographer for years to come!

  • Julia is an incredible photographer and amazingly thoughtful & professional. She was really well-prepared both before and during the shoot, had a lot of experience and good ideas for the shoot, and was also flexible with us wanting to go to a location that she hadn't anticipated. Most importantly, the pictures are amazing and Julia was able to process them quickly and beautifully!
