Julia Beemer Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
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
Julia and her second photographer Sarah were absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond to get the shots we wanted for our wedding. They meshed so well with our guests and made everyone feel comfortable to have fun with the photos. The sneak peek photos were so so beautiful, they brought back the feeling of those moments. I couldn’t have picked a better photographer for my wedding!!!

I would highly recommend anyone to get married at this venue ( or any of their venues ) and to make sure you get the wedding day management.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Graingertainment for our wedding! We booked them through a concierge package with our venue, Haus 820, almost 1.5 years out from the wedding, and our experience with them was amazing from start to finish! One of my favorite parts was having access to Graingertainment’s planning portal, which allowed us to slowly build out our timeline and song preferences throughout the entire planning process. Their timeline was incredibly detailed and helped us think through every step of the day from an MC and music-perspective, which made planning feel much more manageable. A few weeks before the wedding, our DJ, Antonio, reached out to connect with us. From our very first phone call, it was clear that he was a true professional. On the wedding day, he exceeded our expectations in every way. He honored all of our requests while also intuitively reading the room and adjusting to the energy of the crowd. Everything felt seamless. We had countless guests come up to us saying how much they loved the music and that they had never had so much fun at a wedding before. We truly credit so much of that to Antonio and Graingertainment for keeping the vibe going all night long. We would 1000% recommend Graingertainment, and especially Antonio, to anyone looking for a smooth, fun, and unforgettable wedding night.

"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 an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Rebekah was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, asking great questions to understand our vision and preferences. She provided detailed timelines and made sure to get the names of our wedding party, which made the photo process so smooth and efficient on the big day. Rebekah and her husband Joe work as a team, which brings a wonderful male perspective and dynamic to their services. Their communication style is fantastic - they gave us direction when needed but also let us take the lead, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted without feeling micromanaged. And the quality of their work is incredible, especially considering their very reasonable pricing. We felt like we got a luxury photography experience for half the cost of other vendors. Rebekah and Joe truly went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was captured beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

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 husband I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!! The Light Up Wedding Photography team brought our vision to life not only for our wedding, but also our engagement shoot. We discussed our wedding theme, colors and location along with our desire for black and white photos. The lighting and composition were out of this world! I was blown away by the attention to detail, care and professionalism. Also, Andy has the best personality and is such a joy to work with! Wedding planning is obviously chaotic, but he put us at ease from day one. He made sure our special day was immortalized with class and stunning photos. I highly recommend Light Up Wedding Photography; you will not be disappointed!

Kakes By Kiersten was an excellent choice for our wedding cake09. Their communication was superb, with replies to our inquiries within a few hours. The cake they created was absolutely beautiful, with lovely flower decorations that they added for us. But most importantly, the cake tasted amazing - it was the best gluten-free cake we had ever eaten. Kiersten and her team were very friendly and professional throughout the process, and they delivered the cake on time, ensuring it was fresh and perfect for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better vendor to work with for our wedding. Highly recommend Kakes By Kiersten!
