I had so much wedding photo anxiety after our first photographer cancelled. I couldn't be happier that she did, because it led us to Juls!!! She was so amazing to work with, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. She seamlessly captured all of our special moments with her incredible artistic style. So many of our guests came up to us afterwards to compliment Julianne's work and professionalism. You truly cannot go wrong with Julianne Drake Photography - we are thrilled with the beautiful memories she was able to create for us on our wedding day.

She knew the perfect locations and captured the vibe I was going for in each session perfectly. I am very detailed oriented and she made sure to capture all the small personal details I wanted included as well. These are my favorite pictures I’ve ever had taken.

We first got in contact with Ali last year for our planned wedding, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to have our big day, BUT we were lucky enough to transfer her services over to my sister and brother and law! After meeting Ali in person on their wedding day and seeing the magic she can do, it was an absolute no brainer that she would be there for our big day and any and every other event we need photography for! She truly became family and we cannot thank her enough for everything she’s done! She goes above and beyond in her work and truly makes the day so much easier and more fun than ever!

I am SO excited that you stumbled upon my work! I shoot weddings all across Florida & New England! Capturing raw, true emotions as they happen is what I’m all about. I want to capture it all on your big day. From the moments of you putting your dress to the tears running down your face as you read your vows to each other. To the first kiss and “OMG you’re my spouse now!!” feels. To the unexpected Taco Bell run you make after the ceremony or your grandparents getting down on the dance floor. Being able to grab the moments for you to hold to forever, is such a rewarding humbling job for me.

Gloria is AMAZING!!!!! She was one of the first vendors we booked for our 2024 wedding, and from the first phone call, it was clear that we made the right decision. She understood our vision immediately as we described what we were hoping for from our wedding photos. The day of the wedding, she was a fly on the wall for so many candids, knew when to give direction, and when to hang back. Her work speaks for itself, but the fact that she is also kind, creative, and so easy to work with was really the icing on the cake. We will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives.

My husband and I are not big picture takers and are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but Maria was the best person to walk us through the steps. We first met her for our engagement photos and she made the process so much fun. We all laughed so much and it made my husband and I that much more excited for our wedding! On the day of our wedding, Maria was energetic and welcoming to everyone. She gave clear directions and made sure everyone was comfortable. She sent us the perfect sneak peak photos as well.
