Storytelling wedding photography grounded in place, presence, and meaning
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA & BEYOND - Farms, coastlines, gatherings of the heart
You’re not just planning a wedding…
You’re marking a moment in the greater story of your life.
Whether you're celebrating on windswept coastlines, among fields and fog, or beneath a handmade canopy on a family farm, you're drawn to beauty that feels real—and a photographer who can reflect it honestly.
You’re in the right place.
Fine art photography meets award-winning journalism
My approach to weddings combines a deep love of art and beauty with years spent working as a professional journalist, deeply immersed in the art and craft of storytelling.
At the heart of my approach is a fundamental journalistic principle: that the greatest beauty comes not from trying to shape your story, but from your story itself.
Hi, I’m Julie.
Raised near the rugged shoreline of Marin County, I see the world in light, story, and layered meaning. I'm drawn to wild places and rooted celebrations—gatherings that reflect your values, your people, and your place in the world.
My lens is grounded in stories, emotional honesty, and care. I’m here to document the fleeting, with reverence.
"Julie tells beautiful stories with her images. We were in complete awe. I remember lying in bed and crying as we flipped through the photographs together (probably a dozen times!)”
