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!
This is where our adventure together really begins.
You’ve decided to 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.
Working with me means you get a professional photographer, wedding planner, travel expert, dress fixer, bouquet holder, and your own personal hype-woman.
Whether you both love the outdoors and adventure or you’d much stay at a wedding venue, 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
"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 she 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."
-Ashley & Dee
"She is a breath of fresh air. She helped us not feel so awkward in front of the camera. I have never had a session done where I LOVE every photo. Her editing style is amazing. I would 1000% recommend her and will cherish these photos forever. "
-Victoria & Brian
"She makes having your photos being 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. We knew we could trust her and she has been nothing less than a joy to work with!! I would recommend her services to any friend or family!"
-Sara & Seth

Juliana is Incredible
"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."
-Vonya & Jahkeal
"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."

For small weddings, I usually do 30-50 people, but sometimes 75-100 guests (I take only a limited number of these a year.) This keeps your wedding intimate and the focus is still on the two of you. Any bigger becomes more of a traditional wedding and that includes all of the headache and expenses of a big, traditional wedding.
Absolutely! We can 100% plan a private adventure with just the two of you for a portion of the day and then meet up with your friends and family at your ceremony spot or venue. This way, you can have the best of both worlds! This could include a short hike or a special activity.
"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
"Choosing a photographer seemed daunting to me compared to other decisions we had to make during our wedding planning. I was sold based on Juliana's photos alone and I was impressed with her professional yet approachable manner. Our pictures obviously turned out beautiful. We typically feel awkward in the spotlight, but she did her best to make us comfortable throughout the day."
