Associate Photographer| Meet Juli.
My team is family to me. They have been with me for about 7 years and Juli is now an Associate photographer for Darling Photographers.
Juli and I have spent 8 wonderful years together and she has shot about 300+ weddings with and without me. She has been an Associate wedding photographer for Darling Photographers for the past 4 years and I cannot believe I am now finally posting this blog.
About 5 years ago I did a training with 6 real couples with 3 of my photographers training to be Lead Shooters. When I asked my couples to tell me about their experience with each shooter and their opinion on their style; the one thing I kept reading/hearing was Juli is just like you. She shoots like you, she puts us at ease like you, and working with her was a breeze.
Juli is a phenomenal photographer. She goes above and beyond for all our couples and having her at weddings is like having a friend. She is gentle, a total sweetheart, a calming voice when you need it most, always positive, she sees the good in people, works hard to get the best images that tell a story, and does this with the best attitude.
The below images I took during a wedding in June. We were in 100 degree weather and a hot and sweaty mess yet she was smiling.. always smiling...
