    Stop looking and hire, Julia!

    I originally found recommendations for her on Reddit! Since then we have hired her three different times for engagement photos, wedding photos and then my friend and I both hired her for boudoir. We have had the best experience everytime. Needless to say we are now very well acquainted with Julia and her incredible talent. She's kind, professional, encouraging and very easy to feel comfortable around. My husband is a photography enthusiast and was blown away by all of our photos. Truly her work speaks for itself. Our wedding wouldn't have been what it was without Julia. She helped us with our timeline, and even had great recommendations for other vendors. During our wedding reception Julia got so many wonderful photos and was incognito lol I knew she was there but she's very good at blending in. Like I said stop looking and hire her for your photography needs. Our family will continue to hire Julia.

    Incredible Photographer!

    Julia made our wedding day easy and professionally organized. Even living outside NC, Julia made the time to meet with us over zoom a few times to make sure she knew everything we needed and wanted. She was able to give us additional recommendations on vendors as she has been in the wedding industry a long time. Julia even assisted us on a timeline for our wedding day. Julia had a way of capturing all our beautiful and intimate moments throughout the wedding without me even realizing she was doing it. I look at our photos with happy tears at how she was able to capture such quick moments that held so much emotion. The photos are all well edited and easy to share/download with others. If you are looking for completely special photos that aren’t stiff and cookie-cutter, Julia is a totally perfect fit. She really takes the time to get to know a couple and understand what they wanted to see portrayed in their photos. She was incredibly easy to communicate with and made me, my husband, our parties, family, and guests all feel comfortable. I wish I could have another wedding just to hire her again!

    Absolutely Stunning Wedding Day Photos

    We were so thrilled with Julia our entire (2-day) wedding weekend! She did an excellent job of capturing gorgeous photos, candid in-the-moment shots, and our emotions. She was a welcoming, calming presence and had perfect timing. We couldn't be happier and I can't recommend her enough! Our go-to photographer when we need her again!

    Julia was the best!

    We are so incredibly thankful we hired Julia to take pictures for our wedding! Julia was so communicative, putting a lot of stress of wedding planning at ease. She is super talented, capturing the moments of our wedding beautifully. She truly made getting your picture taken comfortable, easy and fun. I am in awe of the way she was able to capture moments and lighting. You will not regret using her to photograph your special day.

    Amazing work!

    Julia was the best wedding photographer my husband and I could have hoped for! Upon meeting her for the initial consult, we felt immediately at ease. She was super organized throughout the process leading up to the day, and a god send on the wedding day. She kept us on task while also allowing us to have so much fun. She did a great job of guiding us into poses that felt natural and captured our personalities. We're in love with the photos and so happy to have a new friend as well. Thank you Julia!!

    An Unforgettable Engagement Shoot

    How do I even begin? I'll start off by saying no words in this review can ever fully capture how grateful we are to Julia Lilith Photography. We are getting married in North Carolina but wanted to do an engagement shoot for our save the dates in Wisconsin. We found Julia on WeddingWire and booked her for our engagement shoot after talking to several other photographers in the area because we loved her dark and moody editing style, she was open to traveling up North at a fair rate, and she sounded nice over the phone, which was important to us because the chemistry you have with your photographer comes out in the quality of their work and how they capture the true you as a couple.

    Everything seemed to be going according to plan. We had arranged to meet her up in Sturgeon Bay at Cave Point Park (2-3 hours away from home). A couple of weeks before our appointment, Julia had driven up to Door County and swung by our location to check out good shooting locations, so she had a plan for where to take us. The weather was setting up to be a balmy 43 degrees with partly cloudy skies. We had texted each other the day before to confirm details, and were on the last road before the trail head. Then we hit a bump in the road. Literally. We tore open the sidewall of one of our back tires 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of the shoot. No spare tire because the hybrid battery of the car took up the trunk space, and no way to repair the side wall with the slurry kit. To say we were in trouble would be an understatement. No tire repair shops were open on a Sunday evening, and we were too far from home for a tow back. The cherry on top? There was a Packers game on that night, so no business was going to be available to help us. We texted Julia, who had driven up with her husband, and they walked down to see if there was anything they could do to help. They even grabbed their car to see if their spare tire would work for us. An hour into what would have been our full engagement session, we were able to arrange for a tow and an overnight stay at a local hotel.

    Julia was incredibly gracious with handling the situation. We still had an hour of sunlight left, so she drove us in her car to the trail head for us to go forward with the shoot (remember we are now an hour late, and she still has to drive 2 hours to get home herself). The shoot was effortless. We had no idea what we were doing, but Julia made us feel comfortable and gave gentle direction when we needed her to. Since we had to take everything out of our car to leave behind for the tow (change of clothes, blankets to stay warm, essentials), Julia's husband toughed it out in the cold to keep an eye on our belongings while Julia took us to the various locations for our pictures. She helped us construct blanket walls to change in the middle of the shoot, and made sure that we got all of the poses we wanted as we wrapped up. We used up every second of daylight before sunset that we had, and when all was said and done, Julia took us back to our car to see off the tow and then drove us 30 minutes back into town for our overnight hotel stay.

    The next day she reached out to us to check in on our car situation and to let us know that she had put together a sneak peek of our engagement photos. I'll let her work speak for itself. TLDR: If we're ever in the market for another lifestyle or event photography shoot, we are definitely coming back to Julia Lilith Photography and would highly recommend you do the same.

    TLDR; if you are looking for a photographer will go the extra mile to capture the love you have in your relationship, book Julia Lilith Photography.

    Beautifully Authentic

    Julia is a QUEEN! She was so supportive throughout the whole process, from the early stages of planning to the last few hours of our wedding day. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured so many special moments. She has such an authentic approach that is so beautifully presented in her work. 11/10 highly recommend!

    Safe & Fun COVID Non-Wedding Photoshoot

    Julia is very friendly and helpful. She took photos of my fiance and I at the Genesee Theatre in Waukegan, IL during the pandemic. She was great about keeping her mask on at all times and keeping her distance while taking great photos.

    Since we just did a photoshoot and not a wedding ceremony or reception, it was a great deal (financially), and she followed through on her offer (both timeline and results). We ended up with nicely edited photos, and even when we asked about unedited photos, she provided them to us!

    I would definitely recommend her! If I hadn't already paid off my photographer for my non-refundable postponed wedding, I would have hired her again!

    Couples Shoot

    Had the absolute best time with Julia! Having a significant other who does not like taking pictures, she made it so much fun and easy going!! Our elopement-style shoot turned out better than I would have ever imagined!! We love the pictures and always get complemented by friend and family! We love Julia:)

    Julia Lillian Photography

    Julia is such a fun and sweet human to work with! For both our wedding and engagement photos, she made the awkwardness go away with her goofiness and laughs, encouraging us to just be us even though a camera was pointed at our every move. She was immensely helpful the day of the wedding, working with our officiant to keep things rolling on time. She also commited to coming check out the venue prior to the wedding, the rehearsal, and of course the wedding, so she was part of the entire planning process and knew exactly what was going on to capture all the moments.
    My husband is not photogenic and not big into pictures, so to ease his anxiety she had a very short planned/succinct list of shots she wanted to capture with him and his friends so she knew exactly what to get done with them as quickly as possible as well as prepare them for what was coming, all to ease anxiety, which he appreciated.
    Julia's personality really made having pictures taken fun and her enthusiasm made you really happy to have chosen her to capture your special day!
