    Loved my photoshoot

    I had the pleasure of working with the exceptional Julianne Drake who truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped into the beach in beautiful Whidbey Island, she exuded warmth and professionalism, instantly putting me at ease. Her ability to move around effortlessly while capturing the perfect shot was truly remarkable. Not only was she incredibly talented behind the lens, but her personable nature made the entire experience enjoyable. Working with her felt more like spending time with a friend than a professional photoshoot. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking not only stunning photographs but also a comfortable and enjoyable session.

    Julianne is amazing!

    Julianne Drake photography’s work is gorgeous! My daughter hired Julianne to do her engagement photos on the beach and they are stunning! The session with Julianne was so much fun, and it shows in the photos! We have hired Julianne to photograph our other daughter’s wedding in the fall!

    Perceptive. Fun. Creative. Whimsical

    I worked with Julianne a little less than a year ago for a romantic photo shoot and I can honestly say it was one of the most incredible, fun, easy experiences. She immediately picked up on who we are as a couple and captured it perfectly. I have truly cherished these pictures ever since. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Amazing & so knowledgeable

    Julianne took my headshots and made me feel so confident and comfortable in front of the camera. She was so knowledgeable on how to pose and so easy to talk to. 10000/10 recommend. 🤍

    Exceptional!!!

    WOW!!! We can’t express how amazing all of these photos turned out. We knew they were going to be good based on the sneak peak preview Julianne sent us the other day but we never imagined them to be this incredible. She is truly an artist and a master of her craft. We can’t even begin to describe how blown away we are. As I’m sure you know, brides and grooms can get stressed on their big day and sometimes miss all of the little important things but she somehow made us feel like we were there again with every memory she captured. She is extremely easy to work with and made our entire wedding party feel comfortable and relaxed. We can’t thank her enough and can’t imagine having anyone else capture our special day.

    Julianne Drake Photography's reply:

    You are THE best. 🥹 I couldn’t be more grateful for you guys. Your beach wedding was such a dream to photograph and I will never forget driving in circles in that party bus, having the time of our lives on a Wednesday. Thank you so much!

    Flawless experience

    Hands down Julianne has been the best photographer we’ve had for both our couples shoot and then again for our wedding. She makes everything so easy and our pictures are always so beautiful. Her personality and love for photography makes the whole experience a million times better!

    Amazing Photo Experience

    Working with Julianne for our photos was a dream! She was receptive to our needs, and when we had to reschedule due to an illness, she was accommodating and understanding. We also battled with smoky conditions, and she remained flexible with scheduling to give us the best chance for a perfect experience. These little touches of personal care took so much stress away from the situation! Even though we hadn't met her prior to our session, it felt like working with an old friend. She took the time to get to know us and what end results we wanted from our experience. Everything was casual, fun, and still professional, and the photos turned out exquisite! They look timeless and also modern, with an ethereal touch as well. I hope to book Julianne again one day in the future for a couple's photo session!

    We felt so comfortable and we’re so overjoyed with how the photos turned out!

    Julianne made my fiancé’s proposal to me on Orcas Island such a special memory by capturing the moment so smoothly and with so much care+love. I had never spoken to her beforehand (my fiancé set up the photoshoot as a surprise) yet I felt as though she was a friend instantly. We got the photos back surprisingly quickly and they VASTLY surpassed our expectations. We’ll be so happily looking at these photos forever!! We highly recommend!

    Julianne Drake Photography

    If I could give Julianne 10 stars I would! She was just so amazing, professional, personable and creative. When I went to do my engagement photo shoot I was so nervous as that was my first time ever doing a photo shoot, she helped me feel comfortable and relaxed within minutes. I knew right after our session she was the one I definitely wanted to do our wedding. Leading up to the wedding she was in contact to make sure we had all the final details set and she asked for a list of specific pictures we wanted to get. On the wedding day she had such a positive attitude and was very energetic! That day was just amazing and having the pictures to look back on let me relive that day all over again. I would travel just to have to take our pictures again, that’s how much we loved using her!! I would recommend her a million times over, she definitely takes the time to get to know her clients and makes each connection personal and special.

    Don't question it, book her!

    If I could go back and have Julianne as my wedding photographer, I'd do it without hesitation. But, she has captured our family in two different seasons of life. We are incredibly grateful for the memories she preserved through her art.

    The first thing that struck me about Julianne’s work was her ability to make everyone feel comfortable and at ease. Her friendly and professional demeanor created a relaxed atmosphere, allowing us to be ourselves in front of the camera. She effortlessly blended into the background, capturing candid moments that truly reflect the emotions and interactions between our loved ones. I mean, I found her randomly scrolling insta, and now I have photos that will last my entire lifetime. Can’t ask for a better connection between photographer and client.

    Julianne’s attention to detail is truly commendable. She has a keen eye for capturing the little moments that often go unnoticed but hold immense significance. From the laughter to the glances, I wouldn’t have thought twice about, Julianne managed to freeze those precious seconds in time. It's these small details that make her work so remarkable and meaningful.

    One of the things we appreciate most about Julianne is her ability to adapt to different seasons and settings. We had the opportunity to work with her during both summer and fall, and she flawlessly captured the unique beauty of each season. Her creativity in utilizing the natural elements, such as blooming flowers and vibrant autumn foliage, added an extra touch of magic to our photos.

    The impact of her work extends beyond the day of the shoot. Every day, as we walk past the printed and framed photographs on the walls of our house, we are reminded of the joy and love we experienced during those moments.

    Why are you still reading? Book her already!!

    Cannot recommend highly enough!

    Julianne is the ultimate package - she’s talented, professional, passionate and genuinely delightful to be around! My husband and I are so lucky to have had Julianne shoot our engagement photos and our entire wedding day last summer. From the start, Julianne was responsive, flexible (offering us a combination of her packages to get exactly what we needed), helpful with offering guidance or feedback on anything from location to shirt prints and does all of this at an amazing price point. Our photos turned out stunning; she captures the energy of the moment, the beauty of the surroundings and takes you right back to where you were on your very special day. She also turned them around with remarkable speed considering the volume and quality of the images!

    Beyond being wonderful to work with, Julianne is also a whole lot of fun! We were honestly sad when she left our wedding reception (it takes talent to take great photos while dancing and singing!) and several of our guests remarked on how easy and enjoyable she is to be around.

    If you need someone to capture an important occasion in your life, do not look any further than Julianne!!

    Recommend for Whidbey Wedding Photographer

    We booked Julianne for our wedding June 2022. We recently took engagement pictures with her this winter and they turned out so much better than we anticipated. My partner and I both dread getting our pictures taken and she made it so painless.

    Julianne is very friendly and easy going. She is also super efficient (my fiancé really appreciated this - ha!) She did not spend long adjusting her camera or getting organized. She hopped out of her car, took a bunch of pictures, and we were done in less than an hour - AMAZING!

    Her wedding package pricing is super affordable and we are very excited for her to photograph our wedding in June.

    Julianne Drake Photography's reply:

    Awww you are awesome! Thank you so much, Ariel! I loved taking your engagement photos and CANNOT WAIT for your beautiful wedding in a few short months! 🥰

    So fun with beautiful results!

    I had my first ever solo photoshoot with Julianne in August 2020. I was so nervous, but she made me feel SO comfortable and I had an absolute blast! Fast forward a couple of years, my hubby and I had the opportunity to book her again for our engagement session. The photos turned out absolutely incredible (just see our save the dates for proof)!! She created such a positive, energetic environment and it absolutely shines through our photos. I can’t wait to utilize Julianne’s services again and have another magical experience!!!!

    Great Energy and Beautiful Photos!

    Hiring Julianne was such a great decision! During the event, she brought amazing energy and it was clear that she enjoys what she does. I do not generally like being photographed, but it didn't take long for me to feel comfortable with her behind the camera. The turn around time was super fast! I have so many friends who had to wait months and months, but I had all of the photos within the first month. The quality of the photos is also amazing and captured our wedding perfectly even though our venue was dark and indoors. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone who needs photos taken!

    I wish she could be our forever photographer!

    Julianne is the hidden gem of artistic photographers. She brings a professional and playful essence to your photo session while delivering you true art in gallery form. We’ve had the pleasure of Julianne capturing our special moments twice and would make her our forever photographer if we could. She will climb the side of a mountain to get your perfect shot and tell you all the things you need to hear to naturally prompt the most beautiful poses. She is a true artist so I urge you to go ahead and book with her!

    the ultimate hype woman

    Julianne is SO personable. She has taken photos for my family twice and photographed one of my good friends wedding and has been nothing short of perfect each time. I struggle with confidence and that all goes out the window being in front of her camera 😂 Every shoot I’ve experienced with her I’ve left feeling like I spent time with a good friend.. which is an amazing quality for someone to have. You can’t go wrong! 🤍

    Sweet, hardworking, smart photographer.

    Julianne was professional, flexible, and fun to work with. We brought our dog with us and she brought doggie treats and made sure we were comfortable. We were just our natural selves and the pictures turned out amazingly! Highly recommend!! Thank you Julianne!!!

    Julianne is wonderful to work with. She took couples photos for us this past year and I was blown away with what she captured. She has such a warm personality and can make anyone feel comfortable in front of a camera. Couldn’t recommend her more.
