VINTAGE-INSPIRED EDITORIAL Wedding Photography ROOTED in Minneapolis + La Crosse
In my eyes, photography isn’t about the technical side but about the feelings that quietly bloom — the unexpected emotions and the soft way moments settle in. My approach is to document what’s already there: what you feel, how you move through the day, and how you want to be seen beneath it all. It’s not just about bringing a gallery to life, but about creating room for something meaningful. I want you to feel supported and at ease — so what we capture reflects not just how it all looked, but how it truly felt to be there, together.

JUST AS IT unfolded…
Artfully seen —
hONESTLY felt,
I’M SO HAPPY YOU FOUND YOUR WAY HERE — STAY AS LONG AS YOU LIKE.

Your wedding day isn’t a performance — it’s a deeply personal, intentional day that should feel like you. My role is to help hold space for that. To help you slow down, stay grounded, and be present with each other as the day unfolds.
I fell in love with photography when I was five years old, watching a family member capture moments on a film camera in Germany. It felt like magic — and honestly, it still does. That early wonder shapes the way I see your day: full of quiet, honest moments that deserve to be held gently.
I photograph the moments that happen in between — when you’re not thinking about the camera, when you’re wrapped up in your people, when the day just starts to carry you. Those small, quiet in-between frames often end up meaning the most. As a creative at heart, I bring that perspective to your gallery, thoughtfully shaping it into a piece of art — not just a standard collection of photos.
I want to help create a space where you feel safe, confident, and free to just be with the person you're choosing. I am someone who gently guides when needed but steps back when things are unfolding just as they should.
This isn’t about a checklist or perfect poses. It’s about making room for genuine moments — the ones you’ll remember years from now.
And while photography is what brings us together, I’ll always advocate for video too. The sound of a laugh, a voice you haven’t heard in years — it’s a kind of memory that’s worth having.
More than anything, I care that the two of you feel connected — to each other, to your people, and to the meaning behind it all. I’m just here to document it as it unfolds.
A thoughtful Record OF YOUR LOVE
“We laughed, cried, and felt every moment all over again while looking through our gallery.…”
We are absolutely blown away by our wedding photos from Julia. Julia and her second shooter captured every single detail so beautifully — we laughed, cried, and felt every moment all over again while looking through our full gallery. The photos are not only stunning but truly us.
Julia made us feel so comfortable from the beginning, and it was extra special having someone we’ve known since high school behind the camera. Her professionalism, creativity, and warm energy made the whole experience so enjoyable.
If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to capture your story in the most authentic and magical way, Julia is the one. We are beyond thankful!

LETS CREATE WITH
Intention AND LET THE REST UNFOLD Naturally
This is a quiet corner where intentional, calm moments are preserved in words — where I write about my couples as if I were their best friend (because honestly, I’d love to be). If you’re drawn to storytelling, connection, and a touch of poetry, you’re in the right place. Come in, stay awhile, and look around. There’s a lot of love held here.
