Julia and I became besties practically immediately. I was visiting my parents, touring venues, and when my mom called up the stairs to ask if I was coming to dinner, I realized we’d been on the phone for nearly two hours. From that moment on, she was the ear I vented to when other vendors let me down, my second set of eyes for design choices, and the recipient of every third meme I came across. It didn’t matter that we’d never met in person. We just clicked.
Became Besties When:
We had interviews with vendors who felt like perfect matches for us, only to find in the following months that they reserved that energy for that first phone call, but once booked it became clear their effort and energy was just a selling tactic. Not Julia. Julia is the real deal, and her effort and enthusiasm for me and my husband only grew the closer and closer we got to the wedding day. Her kindness, love, and support of her couples is unmatched.

Literally the second we met on the beach - Ha! I mentioned this above, but truly Andrew and I still tell everyone to this day that we cannot believe you came back to take that final photo of us in front of the tree. It is one of our favorites from the day and it meant the world to us that you remembered when we completely forgot! Also, there was a black cat running around Wrightsville Manor and you kept saying it was good luck so i wouldn’t blame the cat on the rain.
Became Besties When:
We will never forget how special & loved Julia made us feel the entire process - from engagement pictures all the way to the last hour of our wedding. She went above and beyond in everything she did - constant check ins throughout the wedding process, detailed itinerary and timeline for day of, showed up extra early to set the detail shoots, had open conversations and educated us instead of just saying yes to everything, and even left our wedding (after staying over anyways) and came back just to get a picture in front of the lights in the tree at Wrightsville manor because she remembered we said we wanted one and forgot about it in the midst of the crazy!

Following our dinner, we got the opportunity to go take sunset photos with Julia near the marina on the property. At that point in the day, we had our typical wedding stresses that were starting to let up and were excited to get to the party! We loved chatting with Julia and joking around during this part of the wedding experience, it truly felt like we were catching up with a friend as compared to our photographer! To top it off, the pictures she captured of us at sunset on a boat were absolutely stunning! We love you Julia!
Became Besties When:
Julia made the photo experience for the groomsmen the “best that it could be”. She was clear with her expectations and instructions and made the process as efficient as it could be. I personally had a lot of groomsmen that hate taking pictures and I don't think I heard one complaint throughout the whole process. I have also been a groomsman myself multiple times, and having experienced a lot of what-not to do I was very happy with Julia.
To my grooms: HOW DID YOU FEEL THROUGHOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE?

It was POURING rain the day before our wedding and the entire morning of. I'm talking borderline monsoon. I woke up to a text from Julia just reassuring me everything was going to be okay and that things were going to turn out beautiful no matter what. It felt like my best friend was texting in to check in on me because she just knew that I was freaking out. She was checking the weather (what seemed like) every 10 minutes so that I didn't have to. It stopped raining right before the ceremony and ended up being a beautiful day. She captured every ray of sunshine, glistening leaf, and even made sure to grab us when it was sprinkling to get the pretty rain picture!
Became Besties When:
We would share to absolutely, 100%, book with Julia. She is the most professional, kind hearted, amazing soul of a person you will ever meet. She gets everything to you quickly, she checks with other vendors to make sure everyone is on the same timeline, she creates beautiful works of art, and she treats you like family.

Documenting every aspect of your day is incredibly important to me, and I'm so happy to offer my couples both photo and video coverage.
Wedding films allow you to relive your wedding day and be pulled right back into the moment – seeing your partner wipe the tears from their eyes when they see you for the first time, hearing your maid of honor's toast, and capturing the hidden moments you may not have seen in the background.
Having a photo + video team ensures the same level of attention to detail and consistency in communication, style, direction, and editing.

Rob and Kendall fell in love on the water, spending their days exploring the Masonboro islands on their boat. For their engagement photos they wanted the same breezy, coastal feel, with candid posing and the perfect golden light.

Engagement on the Boat
Alexis and Andrew’s winter wedding at Wrightsville Manor kept things warm with their boho-inspired florals and inviting energy. They were married underneath the giant oak tree before heading inside to dance the night away next to the fireplace.

Kevin and Casey wanted to incorporate aspects of both of their families’ backgrounds – a southern feel with rich traditional Chinese symbolism. They curated details that spoke to their histories, eye for design, and love of making everyone feel at home.
Inspired by blending cultures, traditions, and costal colors
Chinese American Wedding
Tim and Sheldon’s coastal wedding at River Dunes had all of the aspects of a classic southern wedding – black tuxes, big porch sunrooms, pretty patterned bridesmaid dresses, and florals grown by her mom’s gardening club.
