Michelle & Jason | Engaged

Tue, 15 May 2012 13:00:59 +0000

If you name something to do outdoors.. these two do it. Hiking, camping, kayaking, running, rafting, adventure racing, zip lining, mountain biking.. and they do all of them together. Michelle and Jason’s energy during their engagement session was infectious.. and the love they have for each other was inspiring. I think that’s what made this session so special for me. It was the perfect blend of adventurous and romantic – the perfect way to describe these two. To have them on my 2012 calendar has me grinning from ear to ear.. Congrats on your engagement you two. So very happy for you both and for the lives you are leading together. September simply cannot come soon enough.

Ann & Nathan | Married

Tue, 08 May 2012 13:00:49 +0000

What an incredible way to start off my wedding season.. I had to pinch myself a few times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. Charleston welcomed everyone with its beauty and Ann & Nathan I’m sure could not have had a more perfect day. These two have known each other since elementary school, both born and raised in South Carolina.. so it was wonderful to see them return to their roots and celebrate their wedding day in the low country.. which I have completely and utterly fallen in love with. Warmest wishes Ann & Nathan.. thrilled for your new life together.

Mrs. Smith | Bridals

I can’t begin to tell you how difficult it is to sit on these bridal shoots until my sweet brides get married.. but wait we must. ;) Megan was absolutely stunning on the day we shot her bridal session, and even more exquisite on her wedding day. Congratulations Mrs. Smith.. a few frames from our session together in downtown Raleigh.

The Harmans | Hello Sweet Baby

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:22:02 +0000

I’ve discovered since becoming a momma, that there is nothing more delicious than a newborn baby.. and when that gorgeous newborn is your dear friend’s, well then.. it’s love at first sight. If you’re a regular around here at JWP, you’ll probably recognize this family, as they’ve frequented the blog at least a few times. Lucky, lucky me. Meet sweet baby Madison.. the Harman’s newest addition.

Sam & Brody | Married

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:00:21 +0000

There was such an ease with Sam & Brody.. both in front of the camera and with each other. Their session (these two will be tying the knot mid-June) flowed beautifully and with the Wasatch Front in Salt Lake City as our backdrop, I’m not sure we could have gone wrong. Sessions like this remind me of how beautiful love is.. and how incredible it is when two people make such a beautiful commitment to each other.

A few frames from our portrait session together.. Congrats Sam & Brody. So very happy for you both.

Hello 2012.

It’s been a quiet few months here at Julia Wade Photography.. and I won’t lie, I’ve loved every quiet minute. With the 2012 wedding season now in full swing, the blog is back up and running, and JWP has a brand new look. The website, our blog and branding has all been updated.. I hope you like. I can again thank Miss Marta Dansie for her incredible work revamping my logo and all of my press. She is oh so very talented.

And here’s what I’ve been up to the last few months.. playing with this sweet boy. I can’t even imagine how much I could love a little person. Here’s to an amazing 2012. Can’t wait to get started. xo

Katie & Mike | Engaged

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:00:56 +0000

First, you must meet Laila and Brady … Katie & Mike’s poochies. Y’all should know by now that I have a huge soft spot for doggies and I totally love when my couples bring them to our shoots. Pretty poochies, yes? Brady is truly a horse (great dane, named after THE Tom Brady, 10 months old … still growing) and Miss Laila is about the sweetest boxer you have ever met. They made me smile all morning.

Katie & Mike just clicked for me. They were easy, fun and bold. There were a lot of things that were different about the two of them … Katie was a bit more reserved, Mike more outgoing … but I found that underneath those differences were strong, charismatic personalities and a lot of love. I absolutely adore them.

We shot at Vincent’s Restaurant for our last location – the place of their first date … seriously romantic – and when it was time to wrap up, I simply didn’t want to. Let’s say September cannot come soon enough. Congrats on your engagement Katie & Mike. Thank you for the day, and for trusting me to put you in front of my lens. Here are a few frames from our session together.

It is so fun to come home from vacation and have a few features waiting for you in your inbox. Katie & Lee were featured on Heart Love Weddings last week as well as my sweet Manettis on Baby Lifestyles. Thank you so much to these sweet editors … couldn’t be more happy to be featured.
