Reviews

“Juliana is the best photographer you could ask for! From the first email, all the way through to the day of our elopement, she was so helpful in every aspect of our day. She went above and beyond in helping us find our locations. Her excitement for our day just made it that much more fun! Juliana made us feel so comfortable and natural in our photos, which are GORGEOUS! She perfectly captured what we wanted for our day. We have received so many compliments on our photos, and our wedding party could not stop talking about how great she is. Hiring her was the best decision we could have made!”

-Whitney & Mike

“We worked with Juliana Renee this past October for our elopement photos in the Adirondacks. From step one of the initial booking all the way up to the receiving our photos was such an easy and enjoyable experience! She is the sweetest person, and made the day-of photoshoot so much fun! I can't say enough about our photos, other than I can't stop looking at them - I love them so much!”

-Danielle & Jeremy

“We aren't exaggerating when we say that Juliana helped to make our elopement day completely perfect. From the start when we first inquired, she has always responded promptly and answered any question we had enthusiastically and thoroughly. We are native to NY, but not from the Adirondacks, so she was so helpful in recommending a place to stay the night before, as well as a beautiful location for a hike and then our ceremony. The experience was perfect, and her pictures even more so! We will cherish these memories forever and couldn't wait to share them with our family.

Completely worth every single penny, would hire her again and again if we had the chance.”

-Elizabeth & Bryan

“I can’t say enough good things about Juliana. From our engagement photos to our wedding album she captured my husband and I, our family and friends so perfectly. She’s kind, responsive, professional and timely. She is so creative which makes every album extra special. Looking through our wedding album was literally like reliving our special day all over again and you just can’t put a price on that. Highly recommend Juliana, she’s an incredible photographer and even better person!”

-Christine & Tom

“Juliana photographed our small wedding and I am absolutely blown away with how beautiful the pictures turned out. I was a little discouraged when our Blue Ridge Parkway overlook views for the ceremony were taken over by fog, but Juliana reassured us that we would still get incredible photos (and she was right!) She even took us further down parkway for a few photos to chase the mountain backdrop we were looking for. She directed us in a way that felt natural, which is reflected in our photos (they don’t have that stiff, posed feel). I could not recommend her more!”

-Mikayla & Taylor

“One of the best decisions my husband and I made was hiring Juliana as our wedding photographer! She was soo helpful from day one! We had no idea what we wanted until we saw her work and knew she was the photographer for us. We are from upstate NY and planning a small wedding in May was not ideal due to weather. It was amazing that Juliana travels to other areas and knows soo much about those areas. That’s how we decided on Asheville NC! We have never been and with Covid we weren’t going to until the big day, so having Juliana was amazing, she had so many options for us to choose from considering how far we wanted to hike, which places had rules and regulations, and which type of view were we wanting ( mountains, waterfalls, etc.). She was easy to talk to and was there for us for any questions/requests we had. The actual day had some bumps (like any wedding) and through them all Juliana was so helpful, kind and professional! Mind you her work is stunning! We just received our photos back and they are amazing ! I’m obsessed! 😊 they are exactly what we envisioned and more!”

-Ellen & Garrett

“Juliana is the epitome of a good time, and she sure as heck knows how to capture it! My husband dreads photo sessions. Naturally, he dreaded our engagement shoot with Juliana. That being said, the fact he told us it was the “best date night we’ve had in a while”, is testament to Juliana’s ability to have a good time. She is always down for an adventurous shoot, and made us feel SO comfortable in front of the camera. Not only did our photos turn out amazing, but the memory that was made while taking them will last forever. We love her and highly recommend hanging out with her.”

- Haley & Mike

“Juliana is absolutely amazing, she was so great to work with on our destination wedding. She helped relieve stress and helped everything run smoothly even when unforeseen issues arose. My new wife and I are beyond thrilled with how our pictures came out. Juliana is easy to work with and she was willing to make on the fly adjustments to the plan to please us.”

- Mark & Jess

“Juliana was amazing! We had an engagement photo shoot with her and of course living in Alaska brought lots of snow the day we had planned. Luckily, this didn’t slow Juliana down at all. My fiancé and I were a little nervous because we have never done anything like this before but Juliana was so great at making us comfortable and giggling the whole time. Our photos turned out beautiful and she captured our love in every photo. Thank you so much Juliana, I’d recommend you over and over again!”

- Melina & Austin

“Juliana was hands down such a blessing. She met with us prior to the wedding to get to know us and to see if we had any requests. She is such a down to earth, genuine, sweet, soul. We are so thankful for her and so glad we ran across her while searching for wedding photographers in Alaska. She made us and our families feel so comfortable. She took many candids and we also requested family photos. Her editing skills were impeccable. They turned our beautiful and so bright/cheerful. During the ceremony, she took so many photographs. After the ceremony, we adventured into the wilderness of Alaska and took more photographs by a gorgeous waterfall in the woods and on a cliff by the seaside. After 4 short weeks, she had our digital album ready to view. We were absolutely blown away. There was not one photo that we did not like. I cannot recommend Juliana enough. 10/10, highly recommended! You will not be disappointed.”

-Marissa & Adam

“My fiancé and I are extremely adventurous people, and wanted to capture that in our engagement photos. From the very beginning, Juliana was responsive, professional, accommodating, and made us feel comfortable. She set up a Skype session to get to know us better, and sent us a questionnaire as well. She was very flexible with the location, and the shoot was so much fun! Do not worry if you’ve never had professional pictures done before, because Juliana guides you through the whole process. The pictures turned out GORGEOUS and our family and friends love them as well. Juliana payed attention to what we were looking for in engagement pictures, and captured our adventurous love perfectly. Her services are also be affordable considering the amazing quality of photos and her stellar customer service. I highly recommend this wonderful photographer for engagements, elopements, or anything else!”

- Caitlin & Matt

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Juliana. She did my engagement pictures in the dead of an Alaskan winter and made it one of the best experiences I have ever had. With all of the FUN prompts she had us doing, I totally forgot that it was (maybe) ten degrees out and I was having the time of my life twirling around in a dress. She had her own unique way of making my husband and I both feel relaxed and at ease the entire time. We still talk about how great of a time it was! I can’t tell you how many compliments I received stating how jaw-dropping our photos came out. Gorgeous is an absolute understatement. Juliana is punctual, professional and one of the kindest people I have met. Alaska is a second home to me and I cannot wait to reach out to her again for future shoots. She is such a pleasure to be around and is worth so much more than just a photoshoot. BOOK WITH THIS GAL. You won’t be disappointed!”
