If the thought of a big wedding never felt right… you’re not alone.
You want something smaller. More personal. A day that feels like you, not a performance.
The beauty of an elopement is that it can be whatever you want, which opens up an entire world of possibilities. Isn’t that amazing?! My goal as a photographer dedicated to Virginia and Washington D.C. elopements (and beyond!) is to help you create a wedding day that feels special to you; one that you can look back on with joy for years to come.
Whether that looks like eating pizza on the sidewalk as a nod to your first date or frolicking through the cherry blossoms, every moment will be magical.
Juliana is caring, passionate, and easy-going during a potentially not-so-easy-going time. She is extremely intelligent, meticulous, and prepared for anything—thank goodness we found her! She captured such pure moments and you can’t unsee the joy. So please, if you ever for once want to take a stranger’s advice on the internet, send Juliana a message.
After losing my dad in 2015, my worldview has been profoundly changed. It made me realize how incredibly precious photos are and how important every experience really is.
So as your photographer, my approach is simple: I want to create an intimate, intentional experience that truly reflects who you are as a couple. Whether it’s an elopement or a micro wedding, your day should be about your journey, your connection, and your people. I’ll always treat your celebration with the care and respect it deserves, preserving memories that can never be replaced.

“Juliana makes having your photos taken a comfortable experience while being laid back yet professional. She has truly honed her craft in capturing the natural personalities of couples, and she makes the planning process organized and streamlined.”
You deserve to feel connected to your wedding celebration, so if you want to choose a path that’s not “traditional,” I’m all for it. And, I’ll help you make it happen.
Creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience for my couples is an honor. I’ll do everything I can to ensure your day is exactly what you envisioned.
Adventure is everywhere—whether you’re into hiking mountains or you want to wander the city, your day will be both exciting and meaningful.
“The minute I spoke to her I knew she needed to be our photographer; she offered me assurance and guidance, and truly made me feel like she wanted to get to know us. She truly loves what she does and her passion is reflected in not only the images but in how she treats her clients and her brand. On our big day, she was patient and very fun to be around...”
