xx Juliana
It was so wonderful chatting with you both and hearing all about your vision, I’m genuinely so excited about the day you’re dreaming up.
Not many couples choose to do things differently, and the fact that you are? That’s amazing.
Wherever you decide to say your vows, it’s going to be unforgettable, and I’d be honored to help bring it all to life.
This is where our adventure together really begins.
You’ve decided to elope or have a small wedding, and it finally feels like your wedding. No pressure to perform. No traditions that don’t make sense. Just space to create something intentional and real.
I work with couples who want something different. People who care more about meaning and connection than checking boxes. You’re not here for the show, and you’re here for the experience.
You’re dreaming of a day that feels like you from start to finish. A little luxury, a little adventure, and a whole lot of heart.
But when there are no rules, it’s easy to feel unsure about where to start. That’s where I come in! I'm here to help you turn this vision into a plan that actually works.
When you work with me, you’re not just getting a photographer.
You’re getting an elopement planner, travel guide, dress fluffer, bouquet wrangler, personal hype-woman, and your go-to adventure buddy—all in one.
Whether you're dreaming of mountain views and forest trails...
Or prefer hopping around the city, soaking in museums and sipping cocktails on rooftop bars...
I’ll help you craft a day that feels like you from start to finish. A day so good, you’ll be telling everyone you know about it.
My goal? To encourage to create your own traditions and plan a wedding experience that’s intentional, unforgettable, and entirely your own.
"When we initially reached out to Juliana, we weren’t exactly sure about how we wanted the day to look like. After talking with her, she helped us create the perfect day, including narrowing down timelines, finding amazing photo ops in the city, and securing permits. From the first conversation with her, we couldn’t help but to be filled with excitement of what was to come.
From the moment she arrived, she jumped right in and was hands on with helping us every step along the way. She was such a vibe, and it felt like she was a part of the family! Not only did she make us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera, but her creative eye was able to capture angles/moments that made us fall in love all over again!
Our entire day was nothing but amazing and that was largely attributed to Juliana. We were still floating on cloud nine. We received our full album, again in an impressive amount of time, and I love that we’re now able to cherish a TON of absolutely stunning photos that will allow us to relive that day for the rest of our lives. If you have the opportunity to work with Juliana, my advice is to jump at the chance with no hesitation as she is an absolute gem and we’re forever thankful that we were able to experience her on one of the most wonderful days of our lives."

"She was there with us at every step of the way, rolling with our indecisiveness and providing helpful suggestions as we planned out an elopement day that felt meaningful to us. She was always easy to get in touch with, and her advice was helpful and very much appreciated.
When it rained for our engagement pics and I thought the day would be ruined, Juliana arrived with clear umbrellas and a smile, and proved that rainy photo shoots can be fun. On our elopement day, Juliana's texts of support and calming presence were exactly what I needed to stay grounded and enjoy every moment. She was easygoing, professional, and just a delight to be around.
It felt like Juliana truly made an effort to get to know us as a couple throughout this process, and that paid off immensely when we received photos that took us right back to that wonderful day. Not only that, but Juliana managed to capture a few moments that I'd missed or forgotten about.
Juliana really heard what we were looking for, and helped us craft a meaningful elopement day while capturing every special moment. I'm so grateful that we will be able to look back at her photos for years to come."

"It’s a rare and beautiful thing to see someone find their calling. She is caring, passionate, and easy-going during a potentially not so easy going time. I’m not someone who enjoys being in front of a camera. I was tempted to have a court wedding and just go through the motions.
But the one thing I’ve always wanted were epic elopement photos with my now husband. I wanted to go on an adventure with my best friend and just happen to be in a white dress. I found Juliana pretty easily as her style and talent stood above the rest for me. I was never really nervous about the process because it was easy to trust her. She is extremely intelligent, meticulous, and prepared for anything.
The photos brought tears to my eyes and I’m really not one to be very emotional. I felt like I made a friend during the process as well. Juliana has an amazing soul and it is no doubt this is her calling. Ask her questions, be curious, tell her what you’re looking for because she will make it happen. My entire family is raving about how gorgeous the photos are.
So please, if you ever for once want to take a stranger’s advice on the internet, at least shoot Juliana a message. She will shock you in ways you never thought. To Juliana: David and I are deeply thankful for what you did for us. We appreciate you more than we can put into words. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."

YES! I love including couples’ closest friends and family and can usually accommodate up to 25 guests for elopements and up to 50 people for a small wedding. We even could plan a private adventure with just the two of you and then meet up with your guests!
Keep in mind, though, that there are some guest restrictions to some locations such as National Parks as well as logistics tend to get more complicated the more people you have (seating, parking, food, etc.). So, if you have more than 25 guests, you'll need to look at small wedding venues if you want. a bigger elopement guest list in addition to adventure locations, but don't worry, I got you!
Heck no! Not if you don’t want to. My philosophy is that 1) Adventure is for everyone and 2) Adventure is what you make it and more of a state of mind. You can find adventure anywhere, it’s simply your mindset and attitude.
There are so many incredible locations with 1-2 mile hikes or drive-up lookouts and not to mention city locations.
The most important part of your elopement is that it’s an intentional choice to spend the day in a meaningful way with your love – whatever that day may look like.
"Juliana made what could have been a stressful day easy and enjoyable! She made sure that we were comfortable and confident each step of the way. We planned “long distance” with Juliana and had full faith in her process and plan. She heard our vision and made it come to life. She created a beautiful “day of” plan for our micro wedding and found the most beautiful locations! We just received our “sneak peeks” and we are so blown away. The photos are more incredible than we could have ever imagined! Thank you, Juliana!"
-Karen & TJ
"She was so professional and easy going all at the same time. In the weeks before our ceremony she guided us on what we might need and was supportive of every idea to help further that this day was about us. On the day of Juliana let us do our thing and made my husband and I feel like naturals in front of the camera. Our love really shined through in all the shots we’ve seen so far and our friends and family who weren’t present for our elopement got to enjoy the photos right away and didn’t miss a thing. Thank you so much!"
