"I had been flicking through Instagram when I spotted Julia’s photographs and was completely blown away. When I showed Gordon, we knew we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. We just loved the natural and romantic feel (it was the first thing we booked after the venue, and the fact the date was available meant it was fate!).

On the lead up to the wedding we got to know each other over face time, calls, emails and our engagement shoot, and so when it came to the actual day it was just like seeing an old friend! Julia and Michelle made us both feel so relaxed, on the lead up and on our wedding day, and were just amazing with all of our family and friends.

We are totally in love with all of our photos. Julia captured all of the emotion, snapping moments that we wouldn’t have seen and it’s been so much fun looking back at reliving the day."

“Julia and her team photographed our friend’s wedding – we barely noticed them there photographing the day, but then saw the beautiful pictures we knew we had to see if they were free for our wedding! Luckily Julia was free for our date!

“Julia was great at running through all the admin ahead of the big day, so that on the day everything ran smoothly. She arrived nice and early on the day and put everyone at ease right away – everything was captured so subtly and beautifully. Throughout the day Julia captured our couple shots and group shots in a timely manner, so we were not away from our guests for long at all. We felt completely relaxed around her and, for a couple that aren’t great at posing, she gave us great direction and put us at ease the whole time.

“Our ‘previews’ arrived a few days later while we were on our mini moon, which was so amazing and so special. The rest of our photos arrived around 3 weeks later and we couldn’t be happier with them if we tried. Every single moment was captured beautifully. We have no idea how to pick the images to frame as there are so many amazing shots! Thank you so much, Julia, for everything.”

“I fell in love with Julia’s photography from the first day I met her, around 9 years ago. I have always said that, whenever I get married, Julia will be my Wedding Photographer.

“On our Wedding Day Julia and Michelle were both absolutely amazing to work with. Dominic and I felt really comfortable while photos were being taken. And we genuinely had an amazing time, laughing and being ourselves throughout. Because of this, Julia and Michelle have been able to capture the most amazing photographs.

“We both had our perfect Wedding Day, and I never thought a photograph could capture this. But every single one of them does!”

“Julia and You did not disappoint. You and Michelle’s attention to detail was unmatched! The main thing we wanted to achieve for our special day was capturing the moment. We aren’t ones for overly posy photographs ,which is why we chose Julia & You, as your photography is so natural and relaxed; every picture tells a story without needing to explain.

If we had to describe Julia in two words they would be: absolutely flawless!”

"Using Julia and You was such a right decision. Before the wedding, I had two Skype calls with Julia and felt she was enthusiastic and straight away understood exactly what my wedding style was. Both Julia and Michelle helped us feel at ease, in the morning and throughout the day. Their unobtrusive yet efficient manner meant that I have hundreds of beautiful photos, so beautiful I cannot choose a favourite! I love them all. I feel the magic of the day was really captured. So many people have commented that they look like they have come straight out of a magazine shoot which is amazing to hear. I could not recommend Julia and You enough."

"We were pretty much set on Julia & You from the photos we saw on their website. Then, when we met, Julia gave us the confidence she knew exactly what she was doing and wouldn’t be intrusive on the day… plus, she gave us biscuits! Specialising in children’s photography was also a benefit as we knew she’d get the best out of the kids – and she certainly did. Julia’s support on the day was invaluable, she kept us all on track, including calming our 6-year-old son by recruiting him as an assistant!"

"The thing we loved most about our day was the ceremony. Saying those vows to each other was the most powerful thing and knowing that everyone in the room is on your side and loves you. Overwhelming.

We were so pleased we chose Julia and You as our photographer, the level of professionalism and attention to detail was superb. We adored the final photos and “Julia and You” really managed to capture what was important to us."

"Julia And You was perfect for our day. Neither Matt or I am very confident in front of a camera, but we couldn’t have felt more relaxed with Julia and Michelle. So easy to get along with and I love how real every smile and laugh looks. No staging or having to perform for the camera. Everything felt (and looks) natural. We couldn’t be happier with our photos, and we’ll cherish them forever."

“Julia is absolutely amazing. If you’re thinking of booking her don’t hesitate as she honestly made my wedding day. You spend so much time with your photographer so it’s important to have someone that you’re happy to spend that much time with and my husband and I were asking her to stay on for drinks with us at the end of the night! I was a bit of a perfectionist with the finer details of my wedding and was probably a nightmare to deal with at times because I had a million ideas (and Pins on Pinterest!) but Julia was always so helpful and helped me refine ideas that I had. On the day she helped not only with organising people for group shots but also just general wedding experience e.g. it was her that explained all the timings and how the day would run! Invaluable if you don’t have a wedding planner. She also kept my somewhat camera shy husband happy throughout the day as he isn’t a fan of a posed photo – he ended up loving it!

Michelle was also amazing and had to deal with my now husband greeting her in his pants at the door(!) on the morning of our wedding but she didn’t bat an eyelid, was so helpful to him and the groomsmen and made his morning much easier (as I’d given them quite a few jobs to do!).

Most importantly we are so in love with our wedding photos, and will 100% be coming back for any future occasions. I’d never use anyone else!

Love from Mr and Mrs Adcock xxx“

“Nathan and I cannot thank you enough, there aren’t enough words to describe how overwhelmed, emotional and full of pride we felt when we went through the photos you took of our wedding! I never thought I would be able to have a wedding that rivalled the ones in the magazines but the photos you took were so stunning I look at them sometimes and forget they were of my wedding and not some stylish magazine shoot! You and Michelle were such a huge part of making the day go smoothly and successfully that even Nathan’s mum said by then end she felt you were more a part of the family!

You captured our special day with such elegance and passion, Nathan and I will be forever grateful to you. Thank you again so much for capturing our memories in such beautiful and loving way.”

“Julia is hands down the very best decision we made in the whole wedding planning process. She is as kind and friendly as she is talented and she was an integral part of our day – she’s absolutely amazing at her job. I would recommend her so so so highly – I can’t tell you how much she contributes to the wedding she photographs. I absolutely loved having her there and so did all of our friends and family. You only have to look at our wedding photographs to see how exceptional her talent is; our pictures (and yes, I know, I’m biased now!) are the best wedding pictures I have ever seen. I felt very lucky to have Julia photograph our wedding – I love her!”

“We fell so in love with Julia’s photos we didn’t actually meet with any other photographer. Julia’s photos capture everyone’s individual days so accurately but in such a beautiful, fairy tale like way that just makes them that little bit more special.

Julia did not disappoint with our wedding (or our engagement shoot) photos – so many people have commented on how lovely they are. There are some that are so beautiful I cant quite believe they are of us! Julia captures such special moments – whilst also getting the lighting and composition just right. We will treasure these stunning photos forever – both in our beautiful album and frames.

Thank you very much Julia (and Ian)…and apologies for all the questions and queries! Hopefully if we are blessed with children in the future we can see you again for some more of your beautiful newborn / family photos!”

“I love them so much!” & “We really love the photos, everyone has said how beautiful they are. Thank you for the lovely words on your blog, we were so glad to have you with us on the day! “

“Hi Julia. We and everyone loved having you join us – had so many comments about how lovely you guys were. Mark and I are not very comfortable having photos taken but it was like having a friend do it so thank you. I love these photos can’t wait to show everyone! xxx”

”Oh Julia these are just incredible!! We’re sitting at breakfast showing them all to our parents and just going crazy hahaha. We are so so thankful for everything you’ve done, you and Michelle were absolutely superb, I can’t believe our luck that we found such amazing photographers! We will be praising you for years to come. These are brilliant, thank you thank you xxx”

“Amazing amazing amazing I have no words they made me cry (happy tears)! I absolutely love them. Thank you so much for these and yes you caught the parents before they went back to South Africa, which they are over the moon about. THANK YOU xxxx”
