Judson Rappaport Photography

Photographer

Known for her easy-going and deeply caring nature with a witty edge, Judson’s appreciation for the beautiful unexpected comes through in her work. She is a natural conversationalist with an uncanny ability to create a lighthearted yet solution-oriented atmosphere. She finds ways to spark humor in the most genuine of ways which helps her couples to fully relax in her presence.

With deep-set laugh lines and an inquisitive nature, Judson approaches each wedding with a passion for her craft, a positive outlook, and a drive to dive deep.

    I've worked with Judson many times - not only as a fellow wedding vendor, but she's also captured photos of me and my family that I absolutely treasure. At weddings, she expertly captures the most incredible candid photos that capture the moment and the evening perfectly, and she directs friends and family during formal photos so well that it feels seamless! The only personal photos I have hanging in my home are her film photos of my family, because they don't feel cheesy - they feel like art. She's also an incredible person who is inclusive of all folks and captures queer love in such a gorgeous way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Judson was great. She was a joy, very capable and has a great eye. She made us feel comfortable and found a great balance of being present while also giving us space to celebrate. So excited to see the film images she sends along.

    LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! When we decide to have a wedding and not elope we knew our budget would be tight, but the photographer was the one thing we weren’t willing to compromise on. The catering and the venue could be modest, but our photographs will be part of our big day forever. Judson is the most kind and professional person we have worked with for our wedding. She was able to assist us through out the whole engagement through to the wedding day. Her artistic talent speaks for itself in the quality of our pictures. We couldn’t of asked for a more lovely person to work with. She was able to help us express our love and capture the true beauty of how we were loved.
