    Our favorite photographer!

    Julie needs to be your wedding photographer! She was so much fun to be around, a consummate professional, so great at directing what to do, how to pose, where to stand, so we didn’t have to worry about anything except looking good! We ended up due for rain on our wedding day, but Julie was so on point with making sure we got outside at our venue (Colonial Heritage) to take photos before that happened, and even did such a great job with touching up some pictures that she made them look just like sunset pictures without any actual sunset. She did our engagement shoot as well, and that was so much fun and so easy as she knew exactly what she was doing in recommending a location and how to work it. During the ceremony and reception I hardly noticed her around, as she was so great at finding exactly where to be to capture the best photos without being in your face, and she caught some incredible moments I never would have known happened had she not been there! Some of our favorite photos were ones where she just winged it and said “hey let’s just try this,” her ideas were so great! Please, do yourself a favor and book Julie for your wedding!

    Julie Martin Photography's reply:

    Ya'll sthappp! I just love you two! THANK YOU for putting your trust in me to make the right decision to go ahead outside before the storm. The pictures turned out amazing! You both were so "go with the flow" and let me run the show which really allows my creativity to grow. Your wedding was also SUPER fun and every guest truly enjoyed themselves....no one wanted the night to end. Thank you again for a wonderful wedding. I'll definitely be sharing photos!

    We are so happy with our wedding photos!

    From our first conversation to sending us our photos, it was a joy to work with Julie! She was very helpful and flexible when talking through our wedding day and the different pictures that we wanted. Julie and her second photographer, Melissa, helped us feel comfortable. We are so pleased with all of our wedding photos!

    Wedding ceremony

    Julie was wonderful and very helpful. She is very knowledgeable also passionate about her craft. It was a cold but beautiful day and she helped us out big time. The pictures were awesome! I would definitely like to get more pictures from her in the future.

    Julie Martin Photography's reply:

    39 degree beach day is COLD! But SO worth it! Your pictures turned out amazing! and definitely worth sticking around for that gorgeous sunset! I'm so glad we chose my "secret spot"....it really is the best beach around here! Congratulations again!

    Julie was amazing to work with and took incredible pictures of us! She was flexible with us as COVID changed our plans, and helped us find the best solution for a split ceremony and reception. We highly recommend Julie!

    Julie Martin Photography's reply:

    Not everyday your get to do TWO weddings within a few months if each other! What a wild Covid ride we've all been on. It was such a pleasure to do the first part of your wedding and the reception months later was so perfect! You two are SO fun to photograph! Gorgeous couple for one, but just overall super fun personalities and laid back. You trusted me and let me do my thing and the pictures speak for themselves! So thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your forever memorable weddings (s). Lol

    Fantastic Choice

    In my opinion, the photographer was one of the most important decisions we had to make when planning our October 2020 wedding, and I could not be happier with our choice! Julie Martin is amazing. She did our engagement and wedding pictures. She was so easy to talk to and fun to work with. When we were considering completely changing our wedding, because you know 2020, she was always on board and even willing to adjust our contract if needed. My husband and I are not the most photogenic people and can be incredibly awkward, but Julie did a great job our helping us relax and capturing great shots. Julie was assertive enough to wrangle our bridal party and family into pictures quickly, which is no easy feat, but at no point did any one get the impression she was bossy or difficult to work with. Our family and bridal party were very impressed and happy with how quickly all of our pictures were done and they could enjoy the party. Candid pictures were just as, if not more, important to us than posed pictures and we have so many great ones. Narrowing down our favorites from the nearly 1000 pictures we got was not easy!

    Julie Martin Photography's reply:

    Ya'll are gonna make me cry! Stop it! OMG what a beautiful wedding from start to finish! And even more beautiful couple inside and out. I absolutely loved photographing your wedding. Even though it was during Covid, you all did the BEST job ever and kept everyone safe and sanitized and were just the most thoughtful people. Congrats again! I can't wait to see what the future holds for you both!

    10/9/20 wedding

    I would recommend Julie for any event. She did my wedding on 10/9/20 and I cried when she sent me a preview pictures. I don’t think she got one bad picture for the whole night. She was fun to work with and had a great sense of humor!

    Julie Martin Photography's reply:

    Your wedding could not have been more perfect! That was my kind of wedding right there! Outside, gorgeous couple, gorgeous sunset, fun dancing and a firepit to top the nigh off! Just perfect! I LOVE the photos! You and Michael were so fun! I laughed all night too! Can't wait to see you all again when you're down in the area!

    Julie and her assistant were great! They're very easy-going, flexible, professional, and fun all at the same time! Julie is unlike many other photographers in that she provides clients EVERY photo. I received around 2,000 pictures from our wedding - and every single one was beautiful! She doesn't over-edit and she is full of originality, which we love about her! My husband and I would not hesitate to recommend hiring Julie for your photography needs!

    Julie Martin Photography's reply:

    Thank you Amber! Your wedding was absolutely a dream come true to photograph! Beautiful couple and beautiful venue. I love how hidden kept secret it was. Everything about your wedding was awesome. Thank you for the kind words. Cant wait to see what life has planned for you and Tommy.

    Best! Photographer! Ever! We had so much fun taking our engagement photos with Julie! She found the perfect locations, came up with the best shots and poses, and the photos were absolutey gorgeous. Julie made us feel so comfortable and made the entire process easy and FUN! We had to have her do our wedding photos as well. We had a simple elopment so the photos were super important to us and Julie delivered so far beyond our expectations! To say that she went above and beyond the call of duty staging shots, moving props, managing weather, and all around amazingness is an understatement. We are so happy with the photos! Julie absolutely made our day!

    Julie is absolutely wonderful and we couldn't be happier with our photos. Julie's work ethic is amazing, her eye is masterful and she makes sure you are having fun the whole time. Our photos are magical and I can't imagine entrusting anyone else with photographing and capturing the special moments in our lives. Not only are the photos gorgeous but Julie made us feel beautiful and was brilliant with suggestions for poses and backgrounds and movement. Her professionalism can't be beat and I give her my strongest recommendation and endorsement. She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we have been extremely impressed with every aspect of her work :)

    Julie was so awesome! I was a total space case and forgot to give her the shot list form she sent me but instead made my own very last minute one and she totally worked around it and was so sweet about it! She really captured every moment and captured them so perfectly. The weather on my wedding day was 85 degrees with 100% humidity and it rained ALL DAY. She worked around the storms and got us really special and unique photos and we can't wait to order some to get them framed! She was so creative with the shots and made us very comfortable so we had lots of fun!

    Julie Martin Photography's reply:

    OMG! LOVED your wedding! Everything was so pretty. Still can't believe we got lucky and got to sneak out in between rain clouds. I love the deck shot with the water reflection. Thank you so much for having me be a part of your special day! You two are so beautiful together! Like seriously, you two found your perfect other half!

    Julie and her team are awesome! I was a California bride getting married in Virginia in February and she made time to have phone calls, emails conversations, and meetings with my family, planner, fiance, and me!

    Her photos are fantastic and I will continue to cherish them. She captured so many special moments and we all love reliving that weekend through her work. She can handle light, kiddos, weather, and anything else that crops up during your day!

    Julie has been incredibly responsive and professional before, during, and after our special day. I wish I could give her SIX stars! Thank you Julie!

    Julie's a great photographer - we really enjoyed working with her. Julie took so many photos and they turned out great! It was really rainy and gray that day and I was worried about how our photos would look but they're amazing, I love them. She got great shots of every stage of the day - getting ready, ceremony, wedding party, reception. And amazing day and night shots! She also turned around our photos in about two weeks! My husband and I have looked through them so many times already! Definitely recommend Julie 100%.

    A little rain isn't gonna stop me! You all were so fun to work with and so easy going. Glad you like the pictures. I loved the night rain shot! Turned out great. Congrats again!

    Julie is fantastic - fun, upbeat, and insanely good at her job. My husband and I appreciated how she kept photo time moving after our wedding, maximizing the number of shots we got to take before it was time to go to the reception. During the reception, Julie seemed to be everywhere all at once, and wherever a group of guests congregated she was always right there with her camera. I can't wait to see the finished product! Thanks Julie for being unflappable and calm on what was a very hectic, emotional day for me!

    I highly recommend Julie for your wedding. It ended up being an extremely hot summer day for our outdoor wedding and we were a little worried about everyone looking hot and sweaty. All of the pictures turned out better than we could have imagined. Julie has an eye for good shots and her assistant did a great job too. We found her very easy to work with, especially my husband who is not really into posing or pictures. It's been two months and we still keep looking back to the pictures and seeing everything she captured that we didn't get to see in the moment. She really captured the faces and emotions throughout the whole ceremony and reception.

    We really enjoyed our session with Julie. She did an excellent job from start to finish beginning with helping us pick a place based on our vision for our pictures. She had a ton of ideas that all turned out amazing and was extremely patient with our outfit changes, humid weather, bug bites, demands, etc. and all of this while she was less than 3 weeks away from her due date. Pictures turned out fabulous! Added bonus....she's funny and super sweet.
