Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Juls for our wedding! Since we live in Nashville, it was so hard for me to find vendors— especially as our wedding was on Mother’s Day! From the very first email, Julianne and I connected and she was so professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about capturing our special day. On the day of the wedding, she was such a calming presence, seamlessly blending into the background while capturing every important moment with such artistry and detail. My husband was so incredibly nervous and shy, but she made him feel so comfortable and not at all out of his element. I also absolutely adored her enthusiasm over all the amazing pictures she was taking of us and it was so obvious she enjoyed every second of our day along with us. The photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly encapsulate the love, joy, and magic of our celebration. We are so grateful for the beautiful memories that Juls has preserved for us. If you're looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer, look no further! Highly recommend.

The Turning Page Photo Co. 
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,999
  • Serves Mary Esther, FL

I spent my childhood hanging out in my grandmother's garden collecting rocks, making mud pies, eating wild blackberries & taking pictures nonstop. I would spend my weekends with my mom to print all of my photos and hanging them on the pink walls of her bedroom, and telling everyone that I was a photographer. I went from taking pictures of the littlest details in nature, to capturing pure raw emotion, love, intimacy, and telling stories with my art. I became exactly who I wanted to be, when I was a little girl, and that’s exactly why I am so deeply in love and passionate about my job. I live for capturing the future nostalgia.

I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding.

I shot my first wedding July 2007 on eight days notice for a family friend. It was exhilarating. I fell in love with documenting and creating memories for my first bride and groom, Nicki & Jay. They loved my work. I found my professional calling. In 2009, I opened the business and started officially offering my services as a professional Atlanta wedding photographer. Since then, I’ve prided myself on caring about your special day more than any other vendor participating in your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Danielle was so much fun to work with for my surprise engagement at Chateau Elan! The photos turned out absolutely wonderful. She captured our personalities beautifully, and the quality was above and beyond. We were also thrilled that she was able to take so many photos with our family and friends who were with us that day as well. I was so shocked by the proposal that I kept wiping the tears off my face, but she was quick to step in and help me wipe my face without losing all my makeup! We were in a slight rush to make it to a surprise dinner that my fiancee set up, but she was able to take us to all the best spots within a limited time frame. She also did a great job at suggesting poses that were comfortable for both of us. Dani is awesome and I couldn't recommend her more for your surprise engagement! :)

"I'm a witness of Life in its best moments" Hi, I'm Nacho! A professional Photographer seeking beauty and real life moments, I help nervous & shy couples relax and enjoy their day. First, I am a kind person. Then, a skilled seeker of unforgettable memories. I am the one who appreciates the smallest details. I am the witness of life in its best versions and the custodian of the fact that everything was real. This is me, Nacho! The fortunate stranger who today has the pleasure of saying that he captures love where others only see a simple wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hands down the best wedding decision we made was hiring Nacho - and my husband says it all the time! Nacho is incredibly talented at getting the perfect shots but his service is so much more than his photography. He seamlessly fits whatever role is needed in the moment - handling stressful family situations, helping navigate busy timelines, keeping things moving and bringing a genuine “good energy” to the day. He showed up as our photographer but ended the day as everyone’s favorite person. My 4 year old niece still asks about him every day! He leaves a lasting impression and his photos truly capture every moment and emotion that we all want to remember from our wedding days. (Side note: he is very talented at understanding lighting and I’m blown away at how well he captured the natural sunlight during golden hour.) I am beyond thankful that we hired Nacho and highly recommend him for any event or wedding. Extra: Our photography package included an engagement shoot. However, on the day of the shoot a hurricane came through Florida and we had to cancel so Nacho offered us a photo book after the wedding. And let me tell you, this photo book isn’t just any photo book. The quality is unlike anything I have seen. It truly is an heirloom-quality memory book with thick, archival cardstock pages. I highly encourage you to add on Nacho’s photo books if you can!
