Couldn’t Imagine a Better Elopement Photographer I found Julia Lillian Photography while scrolling through elopement photos on Pinterest, and her soft, candid, storytelling style immediately drew me in. There was something about the way she captured emotion—natural, intimate, a little adventurous—that made me feel like she was the perfect fit for us. And she truly was. From our very first video call, Julia was incredibly communicative and thoughtful. She helped us plan out every detail, from the timeline to suggesting Airbnbs and beautiful locations for the ceremony. What really stood out was that she came into town days early to scout trails and locations in person, so we’d know exactly what to expect. She even did some of the hikes we had planned, which was such a testament to how dedicated she is. On the day of our elopement, Julia was a calm, grounding presence. Even when we ran into two other elopement couples at our vow location and opted to change our plan and found a better location off the beaten path. She handled everything so smoothly and helped keep our day on track. I was a little anxious due to all the excitement going into the day, but she helped ease that completely. She captured so many special, fleeting moments—my absolute favorite being right after our first kiss, when I was just overwhelmed with joy to be married to my husband. Looking through our gallery, I was amazed by how natural and unposed the photos felt—exactly what I had hoped for. And when I asked if I could have just one photo to send to my mom that night, Julia sent me seven beautifully edited shots within an hour. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond to make your day stress-free, fun, and unforgettable—Julia is your person. I’d recommend her to anyone planning an elopement, no matter the location. She’s not just an amazing photographer, she’s a truly supportive and kind presence to have by your side on one of the most meaningful days of your life.

Julia shot our elopement in Scotland and it was a dream from start to finish. We braved the Scottish weather and together we had such a memorable experience!!
Julia will make even the most camera shy comfortable in front of her lens.
We ended our elopement warming up in front of a fire, in a local pub, pint in hand with some great food. Julia made our day exceed all expectations just by being her lovely self and going that extra mile to create what became the best day of our lives. An extremely talented photographer and all round awesome person, we couldn’t recommend Julia enough.
Keep up to amazing work!!

I cannot recommend Julia enough! If you are looking for a creative, down to earth, and personable artist to capture your special day please book her! Julia made us comfortable from the first meeting. My husband does not like having his photo taken, but she put his nerves at ease and captured some of the most beautiful and raw photos of us we have ever had.
The day of I woke up to a goofy yet empowering text from Julia expressing how excited she was to capture that day. She showed up to our getting ready spot and my nerves immediately went to ease. She just has a way with her clients that makes you feel as if everything that day is going to be ok. She came prepared with anything a bride could need: water, snacks, hair pins, and for my glasses wearing brides you will appreciate that she even had a cleaning cloth which was a life saver when combating my false eyelash smudges!
She led our very large family and wedding party super efficiently. And when I say large I mean large! My husband and I just were able to relax and chitchat in between photos. She gave us all of the shots we were hoping for and more. We have had so many photo watching parties just the two of us and every time we cry because her work put us back to the exact moment it was taken. She captures the raw emotion and immense love in her work.We left our wedding perfectly at ease because of her and gained someone we hope to work with for the rest of our lives!

Julia is such a talented photographer! She does such a nice job of making you feel comfortable and confident during the photo shoot (even if you are someone who usually doesn’t like getting your picture taken!). I highly recommend Julia Lillian Photography for any kind of pictures you are looking to get done. She is wonderful to work with!

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!!

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!

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 committed 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.
