Justina Johnson Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves St. James, NC

Justina Johnson Photography is an international wedding photographer based in Wilmington, North Carolina. Owner Justina has years of experience and is dedicated to giving clients a fun, memorable time in front of the camera. Having grown up in Germany, she is multilingual and works to accommodate each soon-to-be-newlywed's unique needs and wants. Combining traditional and modern photography techniques, Justina creates enchanting collections that can be cherished for years to come.

We’ve been using Justina as our photographer since we got engaged. I knew she was featured at the best family photographer in Wilmington, and even before kids, I loved her style so much that I knew I just had to have her! She has been capturing moments for our family for the past 4 years, and I always recommend her to everyone I talk to (although hesitantly - sometimes I selfishly want to keep her all to myself). I couldn’t imagine a better photographer for our wedding. She accommodated every single request, knew what I needed before I even knew what I wanted, and sometimes has few a secret spots up her sleeve. She had a vision that exceeded my expectations, all while capturing all of my requests - every single time. I cherish all of the sweet moments she was able to capture, including the precious time with my mother getting dressed, the first look with my husband, the tears in my eyes as we read our vows, my bridesmaids bowing their heads during prayer, my uncle choking up as he expressed how words cannot describe how much we miss my father, the pure bliss displayed by my mother-in-law as she danced with my husband, not to mention all the surprises I didn’t notice until viewing the photos - our friends on the dance floor, the kids who made funny faces during dinner, the friends who passed out on chairs because they didn’t want to miss out on the fun. I could go on and on. These things don’t happen by accident, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t express enough how incredible our experience with Eugene was and how perfectly he captured our wedding day. After Hurricane Helene, we had to change our venue and it was a little farther away from our original venue and Eugene made it happen and didn't want any extra travel fee or anything from us. On the wedding day he made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and made sure no moment from our wedding went unnoticed. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he’s also a fantastic person, and we truly hope our paths cross again in the future. We highly recommend planning your special day around when Eugene is available to document it—you won’t regret it!

  • Serves St. James, NC

I am from a small town in North Carolina. I grew up being in front of a camera doing pageants and modeling. I know what it is like to have no direction at a photoshoot and leave disappointed. I strive to never make anyone feel this way when they leave a session and certainly not on your wedding day. I coach you and help pose you so that you do not feel or look awkward. Photos are not only about how you look, but also the memories that go along with them. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me hanging out with my husband and two kids.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding venue owner we see many photographers here. Stephanie Small is one of our favorites. She captures the beautiful scenery along with the love each couple shares. One of the most important elements you want to consider when selecting a photographer is can she or he do a fabulous job quickly so you don’t miss out on your reception. We are always impressed that Stephanie and her assistants work so efficiently and produce amazing photos. She also has a well organized gallery of photos for the bride & groom. We highly recommend Stephanie Small photography for your wedding!

They truly listened to our wants and needs, and their caring approach put us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, their creative and dependable artistry shone through, as they captured every special moment with an eye for detail. Would've liked more "getting ready" photos up in my room but we didn't have enough time, so make sure to book enough hours so that won't happen. Our engagement photos turned out beautifully, and Rachel even helped us pick out outfits that would look best for the time of year. The wedding day photos turned out so good, and they made sure to try and incorporate all of our input on what we wanted. Overall, the final product was of great value, and we highly recommend getting the raw video footage in addition to the edited version to ensure you don't miss a single second of your special day. Kingdom Shakers Photo and Video was a joy to work with, and we're very happy with the results.

Kelsey is a dream to work with. I looked through her portfolio and knew I wanted to work with her. Not only did I love the engagement shoots she has done, but it was amazing to see that she had done a lot of weddings at the venue I picked. I had her do my engagement photos & 6hrs for the wedding. She was very responsive anytime I reached out. I know wedding season is very busy, I never felt like I was left hanging. While my new husband is comfortable in-front of the camera, I was very much not. Kelsey is great at guiding and making you feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were something different from her portfolio, the arcade, and she did a phenomenal job like I knew she would. Stephanie assisted us on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful too. I provided a detailed shot list for the family portraits and she did a great job navigating the family. After dinner Kelsey was able to provide me with a sneak peek of my photos. I am so excited to see the rest of my photos!
