The HEART & SOUL
Thank you for visiting Julia Rebecca Photography. I’m truly honored to have the opportunity to connect with you and learn more about your vision for your wedding day.

fine art photography for couples who want to remember the magic of it all
I’m privileged to call Essex, NY, on the breathtaking shores of Lake Champlain, my home, but my passion for storytelling takes me to wedding destinations across the Adirondacks, Vermont, the Champlain Valley, Saratoga, the Hudson Valley, and New England.
With over 15 years of photography experience I combine timeless beauty with modern and thoughtful imagery, creating a curated collection of fine art photography that authentically reflects the elegance and emotion of your wedding day.
With a limited number of weddings each year, I dedicate myself fully to each couple. If you envision your wedding day captured with professionalism and care, I invite you to inquire about availability through my contact form.

We love escaping to the Whiteface Lodge for our anniversary

My husband and I met while working at an Adirondack Summer Camp in 2009

One of our favorite winter activities is ice skating together

our life between the mountains & the lake
We call the Champlain Valley home—a place where mountains meet the lake, and small-town rhythms shape the way we live and love. Here, we’re raising our toddler surrounded by fresh air, scenic views, and the slow beauty of nature’s seasons. Balancing life between our construction business, photography studio, and restoring a historic parish hall which will soon be home, we find joy in the everyday moments that inspire our work and ground our hearts. This is more than where we live—it’s where our story unfolds, and the lens through which we capture yours.
I BELIEVE
in your love
It is the moments and memories that give life to your wedding. I will capture the heart and soul of it all.
From the excitement of a ‘first look’ and the vulnerability of sharing vows to the tender moments during your first dance, I believe that photos can preserve the feelings you had on your wedding day.
i promise to capture the authentic moments that give life to your wedding.

TRULY AMAZING!
She was patient, fun, and energetic. Everyone remarked how friendly and wonderful she is. I think I looked at our sneak peek photos at least once every day for the first month after our wedding, transporting me back to the magic of the day.
