Julia Franzosa Photography

Julia is an amazing photographer. Julia was definitely one of the best wedding vendor decisions we made!
I saw Julia’s work on Style Me Pretty and a few other wedding sites – then went to check out her awesome (and witty) blog and knew I had to contact her. After talking to almost 10 photographers (yes, picky, I know), I knew instantly within the first 5 minutes over the phone that Julia would be the one. She was personable, professional, and very knowledgable. Although she seemed easy-​going, you can tell she would be meticulous and detail oriented. Throughout our entire planning process, she was responsive and I never waited more than a day or two for a reply. As a matter of fact, I felt like she followed up with us more than we followed up with her!
Our wedding took place in Northern California, so we didn’t meet Julia for the first time until our engagement session. I felt an instant connection to her and she made such an awkward thing to do super easy (no, we’re not natural models). The photos turned out great.
So, of course I had very high expectations for our wedding pictures and she sure delivered! I’m obsessed with the pictures and seriously look at them every night. From the details to sweeping panoramas, she captured everything from our day. We have some gorgeous, emotional shots from almost every part of the wedding.
Thanks, Julia, for making our wedding day so super smooth and being a part of such a huge milestone for us!

Julia is amazing!!!
I cannot believe how lucky my wife and I were to be introduced to her. She captured every moment at our wedding and was such a blast to have with us on our wedding day. If she were not taking pictures, she would have been on the top of our wedding invite list.
I could not have been more pleased with our wedding photos and highly recommend Julia to capture the important moments at any event!

Julia is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but one of the loveliest people I have ever met. I don’t think anyone else could have made our wedding photos more magical. Julia was able to capture the essence of our relationship through her camera lens and it was her calming presence that allowed us to truly be ourselves in front of her. It is rare to find someone who is such a pleasure to work with and who also has such immeasurable talent. Her work is flawless and she is incredibly flexible and open, which is really helpful if you are a nervous almost newlywed. She also edits her work so quickly and posts it so you can see it as soon as it is ready, which was like reliving our wedding all over again. We have her photographs displayed all throughout our home and they remind me every day how thankful I am that Julia came into our lives. She is absolutely the best and I whole-​heartedly recommend her to anyone who is in the market for a photographer and an artist. I will certainly call her any time we want to capture a special memory because there is truly no one better.

If you are on the hunt for a wedding photographer, your search ends here. Hire, Julia, plain and simple. I am a commercial designer but I also do photography as a hobby on the side, so you can bet when I was looking for our wedding photographer, they had to be top notch. At first glance, Julia had a great website, her photos were crisp, clear and the color was right on. She doesn’t give in to filters or over-​editing, which I loved. Her style is classic, elegant, and timeless, exactly what wedding photos should be. Julia sent us an amazing ‘welcome package’ when we first signed the contract — included was a book that was right up my alley, called «The Practical Bride.» I knew we made the right choice. She came up to WI with us for our engagement photos, edited them so quickly and did the same for our wedding photos. In addition to amazing photography, she is the type of person you just want to be friends with. She is down to earth but at the same time, so on top of things. As you can tell, we can’t explain how happy we were with Julia’s work, professionalism and finally, her friendship! Thank You, Julia! You captured our wedding PERFECTLY!

I can’t say enough good things about Julia’s photography. She’s absolutely amazing! My husband and I got married on June 29^th and Julia photographed our wedding. We met her back in February and immediately hit it off. She understood our style and what we were looking for and this definitely translated into the pictures she took of our wedding. She came to our hotel room before the ceremony to capture my mom dressing me in the same wedding sari she wore 43 years ago!!! Julia then shot our small intimate wedding at The Boarding House in River North. We let her know that we wanted more candids than posed pictures and she followed through with our wishes. She photographed my husband and me for about 10 minutes outside after the ceremony and then continued with all of our friends and family for several hours during the dinner and reception inside. The pictures she took are absolutely amazing!!! We’re looking forward to working with Julia for many years to come.

I’m so glad that I met Julia during my wedding planning! Her photos are absolutely beautiful. We worked with Julia to shoot our engagement photos (in 3 separate sessions) and then our day-​of, getting ready, pre-​ceremony wedding shoot. Her style is so romantic, but fresh and modern at the same time. She edits photos extremely fast and delivers them in professional manner.
Julia put us at ease and made us laugh throughout each photo-​shooting experience, when we felt awkward or nervous. It was so much fun having her be a part of our big day and I can’t wait to work with her again soon. Would love to recommend her to any bride!

Julia has the magic touch! I am religious about photographing my boys at each birthday. After several photo sessions at other studios — I found Julia, she is like a breath of freah air. She has a true gift with children. She took newborn photos of my son that I will treasure forever. She captured those precious and fleeting days when he was so new and fresh. I only wish I had known about her for my first son’s birth! Each time Julia takes pictures of our family, we come away with something special that I will treasure for a lifetime.
