Julia Beemer Photography

Bartow, FL
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,200

Hi, I’m Julia! I photograph weddings throughout Florida (and beyond) with a focus on genuine moments, real connection, and days that feel natural rather than staged. My approach is calm and intentional, helping couples feel comfortable and supported from the very first conversation through gallery delivery. I believe your wedding photos should reflect how your day felt — the quiet in-between moments, the people who matter most, and the story you’ll want to revisit years from now.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation on Zoom to our send off on our wedding day Julia was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had a specific vision for our wedding and she immediately synced with our vibe and vision. Her personality, enthusiasm and warmth show that she is much more than an amazing photographer but an excellent human being. She fit in seamlessly with our crowd and captured the memories that we dreamed of easily. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Julia for your event, you won't regret it!

Carissa and Alyssa were INCREDIBLE. Their work, their vibe, EVERYTHING. They made me and my ladies feel so beautiful on my wedding day. My makeup and hair did not budge one bit all night long. In fact, I’m still rocking my curls 3 days out. They were so fun to work with and what a blessing they both are for making my mom feel beautiful again. She had chemo and lost the majority of her hair and Alyssa was able to work MAGIC and give my mom her identity back. She was so confident and I could not have asked for anything more.

Ever After Farms Citrus was the perfect venue for our wedding day. The communication from the staff was amazing - attentive, descriptive, and kept me feeling calm and prepared, especially when we were figuring out backup plans for potential rain. The modern barn has a beautiful spacious layout with indoor and outdoor areas that created the perfect backdrop. I loved working with the decorator who helped with all the little details - she had long black hair and such a sweet demeanor. Another standout was Desiree who helped ensure everything ran smoothly.

The Garden Ballroom was a fantastic choice for our wedding venue. Their communication was pretty good, with a couple of minor issues getting in touch at times, but overall they were very responsive and helpful. The quality of their work and the value they provided was incredible - the space was absolutely beautiful and worth every penny. They went above and beyond in a few ways, like serving Cuban coffee (which was perfect since I married into a Cuban family) and even making sure my mom, who wasn't originally planned to walk down the aisle, was able to do so last minute. The staff was great and made sure our whole day ran smoothly. We loved our experience at The Garden Ballroom and would recommend them 10 out of 10. I'm especially grateful they made sure to include my mom, as she sadly passed away just 4 months later.

I have been shooting for the past 15 years and am so grateful to have had the support of my family, friends and clients.

Being chosen to capture the most precious moments is the biggest honor of my life and I know that I'm lucky to be one of the few people who absolutely loves what I do for a living.

We had the most magical elopement in the hills of Tennessee, at a local bird sanctuary, and it wouldn't have been the same without our incredible photographer, Mary! From the very first email, her communication was absolutely excellent. She was prompt, clear, and always happy to answer our (many!) questions. Planning an elopement or wedding can be stressful, but she made the process so smooth and easy. Beyond her amazing communication, her talent behind the camera is simply breathtaking. She perfectly captured the intimate and natural feel of our ceremony. The photos are stunning – the light, the composition, the way she captured the emotion of the day… everything was just perfect. Looking at them, we’re instantly transported back to that special moment. She has a true gift for capturing not just images, but the feeling and atmosphere of a place and time. She was also so flexible and adaptable on the day itself. The bird sanctuary provided a stunning backdrop, but also presented some unique challenges (like navigating uneven terrain and climbing a mountain while she had a broken foot!!!). She handled everything with grace and professionalism, and her positive energy was contagious. It felt like having a friend there with us, celebrating our special day. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also a joy to work with, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend her for any wedding or elopement, especially if you're looking for someone who can capture the beauty of nature and the intimacy of your special moment. We will cherish these photos forever!

My wife, Summer, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2024. This year, I decided to apply to Wish Upon a Wedding in hopes of giving Summer the day she always hoped for. Wish Upon a Wedding is a nonprofit organization that gifts weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal or life-changing illnesses. When they came into our lives, Summer and I were in a season where joy felt complicated and hope looked very different than we imagined. Through Wish Upon a Wedding, we were paired with our wedding planner, Married by Mariella. Mariella donated her time, talent, and heart completely free of charge. What’s important to say is that Mariella didn’t just coordinate our vow renewal. She planned it from the ground up, picking every single vendor and executing the day completely. She took Summer’s vision and brought it to life with care, intention, and deep respect for what this moment meant to us. Every detail reflected the image Summer and I had hoped for, and Mariella carried that responsibility with such grace. She led with compassion and patience, making the process feel calm and supported rather than overwhelming. There was never pressure, never rushing, and never an expectation for us to pretend things were easy. Because of Wish Upon a Wedding and Mariella’s selfless generosity, Summer and I were able to stand together, renew our vows, and experience joy without guilt in the middle of a very heavy season. Mariella and Rachael made this the best day of our lives. We will always be grateful, not just for a beautiful day, but for a memory we will carry for the rest of our lives. We could never thank her enough!

From the moment we stepped onto the Bella Cosa property, we knew we had found something truly special. Every step of the planning process was easy and stress free. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. The stunning lakefront setting, historic charm, and peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to say “I do.” A huge thank you to Brittany Knox, our incredible wedding consultant, for making that process so smooth. We couldn’t have done it without her and our planner! Without sounding too sappy. What truly set Bella Cosa apart was the feeling it gave us. From exchanging our private vows under the oak trees to the bubble exit on the front lawn with all our loved ones. Then to end the night sitting around with our family/friends, eating pizza, just chatting about the magical evening in the upstairs suites.

I found Clabo Event Services on Zola at the beginning of 2025. My wedding was 10/11/25 and Sarah was an absolute joy to work with! I hired her as a day-of coordinator and she went above and beyond. She was available for questions at any point from the time I booked with her, to the wedding day, to even after the wedding. I had multiple calls and meetings with Sarah in the months leading up to the wedding to make sure our day looked perfect. On my wedding day, Sarah and her husband were there literally all day setting everything up the way that I had envisioned. There were a couple small hiccups with vendors that I didn't even hear about! They handled anything and everything without having to bring me into it which I appreciated so much! My wedding day was everything I could have ever dreamed of and I owe so much of that to Sarah and Josh. I would recommend them to any of my friends or family in the future!

"I'm a witness of Life in its best moments" Hi, I'm Nacho! A professional Photographer seeking beauty and real life moments, I help nervous & shy couples relax and enjoy their day. First, I am a kind person. Then, a skilled seeker of unforgettable memories. I am the one who appreciates the smallest details. I am the witness of life in its best versions and the custodian of the fact that everything was real. This is me, Nacho! The fortunate stranger who today has the pleasure of saying that he captures love where others only see a simple wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hands down the best wedding decision we made was hiring Nacho - and my husband says it all the time! Nacho is incredibly talented at getting the perfect shots but his service is so much more than his photography. He seamlessly fits whatever role is needed in the moment - handling stressful family situations, helping navigate busy timelines, keeping things moving and bringing a genuine “good energy” to the day. He showed up as our photographer but ended the day as everyone’s favorite person. My 4 year old niece still asks about him every day! He leaves a lasting impression and his photos truly capture every moment and emotion that we all want to remember from our wedding days. (Side note: he is very talented at understanding lighting and I’m blown away at how well he captured the natural sunlight during golden hour.) I am beyond thankful that we hired Nacho and highly recommend him for any event or wedding. Extra: Our photography package included an engagement shoot. However, on the day of the shoot a hurricane came through Florida and we had to cancel so Nacho offered us a photo book after the wedding. And let me tell you, this photo book isn’t just any photo book. The quality is unlike anything I have seen. It truly is an heirloom-quality memory book with thick, archival cardstock pages. I highly encourage you to add on Nacho’s photo books if you can!

Wellman & Co Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with them, Rebecca and her team were prompt, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through every step of the process. On the day of the wedding, they were professional, efficient, and produced excellent results. Rebecca and her team kept us on schedule, were encouraging when my nerves started to show, and even helped my not-so-photogenic husband feel comfortable during the photos. The final photos are absolutely stunning - the dreamiest shots that we will proudly display in our home for years to come. Wellman & Co gave us the wedding photography experience we had dreamed of having, and I would recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, kind, and friendly photography team.

I care deeply about your experience and I hope that your wedding day feels fun and unforgettable. I anticipate moments before they happen; like a burst of laughter or a tearful reaction. That's how I capture genuine emotions. I help my couples avoid feeling overwhelmed on their wedding day. I offer guidance when needed, but also know when to step back so you can be fully present in the moment knowing that your wedding photos are in good hands.

My now husband and I absolutely LOVED working with Andy at Light Up Photography. I think he was our favorite vendor! Leading up to and even way after the wedding, he was extremely professional and communicative, answering questions and chatting back and forth with me via email, always timely and descriptive in his replies. Andy was also an incredible value. He was extremely competitive in his package pricing, and after seeing his final shots from our wedding, I easily would've paid twice what we did. Andy had multiple cameras during our wedding day and even asked us if we wanted some specific photos during the reception (like a sunset photo for example). He was even gracious when I asked him to take a couple specific shots that evening. All that to say, he just aims to please and make sure you don't miss freezing and commemorating one single important moment of your day. He's happy when you're happy! We received our photos from our engagement shoot about 4-5 weeks after the shoot, received some teaser images from our wedding a few days after the wedding and received the full album of about 1,000 photos (the package we chose) only about 6-8 weeks after the wedding (which was before Christmas, so accounting for the holidays, that was an impeccable turnaround time!). All in all, Andy was the best possible choice we could've made to remember our special day. You can't go wrong! 5/5 stars all the way around. Thanks, Andy!

Kakes By Kiersten was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding cake and desserts. Kiersten's communication was fast, clear, and kind throughout the entire process. She was incredibly flexible, creative, and delivered a cake that was not only perfectly designed to match our wedding colors, but also tasted delicious. Kiersten was able to bring my dream cake to life, incorporating 3 different design elements and some special verbal requests I had. The cake was delivered without a hitch and was still moist and flavorful days after the wedding. We are so grateful to Kiersten and the Kakes By Kiersten team for helping make our special day even more perfect.
