"At the recommendation of a close friend, we hired Julie to be our wedding photographer. She is 1000% worth it and we would recommend her services to anyone. It rained cats and dogs on our wedding day and Julie was not only agile, but took some absolutely amazing photos. And she's FAST! We got our photos back in just 2 days. Julie is professional, reliable, very sweet, and really cares about the couples she works with. Our photos turned out beautifully and we're over the moon to have them for the rest of our lives. I recommend contacting Julie as soon as possible to see if she's available to photograph your wedding!"

"Julie was an absolute joy to work with! She made taking photos fun and had lots of great ideas for pictures. She first did our engagement session on the beach, then our private beach ceremony and our big ceremony/reception, so we really got to know each other. Julie made us feel comfortable and at ease during all of our sessions. She was also well prepared for the many family and bridal party portraits and was able to quickly readjust the set schedule as needed when certain groups weren’t immediately ready. We love candid photos and we feel Julie did a great job capturing the fun and love we had at our wedding! All of the pictures turned out AMAZING and she had the entire album to us in just two days after the wedding. Thank you, Julie!"

She also gave us great directions while we were taking portraits which made everything feel easy. In addition, the photos from our wedding are absolutely amazing! Both the planned portraits and the candids are frame worthy, and we are going to be obsessed with these photos forever. Finally, she had a super quick turn around with getting us our photos. She sent us the online album four days after our wedding, and the thumb drive about a week after that. Overall, we were so impressed with her professionalism and her personability, and would highly highly recommend her!"

"Julie is an amazing wedding photographer. You will be so happy if you book her! She was friendly and helpful throughout the whole process but especially on the big day - she even helped me get my shoes on when my bridesmaids were busy! We didn’t have a wedding planner and working with Julie helped us to build our timeline for the day. She also was a real pro when it rained the day of the wedding and was still able to get us many of the outside shots we wanted for the first look and with the wedding party. She also did a wonderful job capturing the guests and got everyone on our shot list. The pictures came back so quickly and they look beautiful! I would absolutely recommend having Julie capture your special day for you!"

For our engagement pictures we had freezing weather and our wedding was raining. Both days the weather wasn’t ideal, but she was such a trooper and did whatever it took to get the right shots, all while making it fun. We also couldn’t believe how QUICKLY we got our beautiful photos back. Less than 72 hours…. I have friends who didn’t get their pictures back for MONTHS. We were so pleased with how our pictures came out and will always recommend her to our friends and families who are looking for a photographer!"

She was on time, knew exactly what needed to be done to get the photos to come out perfect, and was very good about communicating. The photos look literally amazing, and she took so many. She was moving during the whole wedding getting all the angles we never even knew we wanted. I would highly recommend Julie K Gray if you have been considering her, and will use her again if I ever need a photographer. She’s a true professional!"

The day of there are bound to be some changes, but Julie was flexible and efficient, ensuring we all stayed on schedule and all my must have pictures we captured. Lastly, I was truly amazed by how quickly Julie had our pictures back to us- my friends waited over a month and I received mine within a few weeks. If you need a photographer, I couldn't recommend Julie enough."

"We hired Julie for our engagement and wedding photos, and she was absolutely incredible! First, she is an absolute delight to work with. She is friendly and down-to-earth and also cool as hell. She put us at ease and we felt very comfortable being photographed by her. She has an incredibly fast turnaround for photo edits, with engagement photos back THE NEXT DAY and almost 900 wedding photos back within a week. Our guests all adored her, and she was never in the way during the reception. Her photos are seriously stunning and bring out the natural beauty and joy in each subject- we all looked radiant! People who normally hate themselves in photos were reaching out to me to see how amazing they are. She does some of the staged photos that are typical, and those are great, but she truly shines in finding and capturing the candid, poignant, and funny moments that really bring the photos to life. The colors are beautiful and vibrant works of art. I seriously can't gush about Julie enough, and will probably have to find more excuses for her to photograph us in the future :) Seriously, our highest recommendation for Julie!"

First, her photography speaks for itself: bright colors, unique viewpoints, and capturing natural moments- all things we really wanted photographed at our wedding! At our engagement shoot she put us at ease, and even suggested some spots in Portland we didn't know about which resulted in some of our most favorite photos! Leading up to our wedding, she was organized, responsive, and responsible: she emailed me a month ahead of time to establish our timeline and "must have shots". She was also flexible in capturing a few getting-ready moments as well :) She was also extremely quick in getting the photos back to us- we had them within a week! The photos came out so amazing and perfectly captured our day. I would recommend Julie to anyone in a heartbeat."

She has a perfect way of sitting back and capturing what is happening while also giving direction for photography. My husband and I are not people who take a lot of pictures, so we weren't quite sure what to do a lot of the time. Julie would quietly guide us with sort of a "trust me!" look on her face. All of the shots that she gave us direction on are easily our favorites of the bunch! Julie also took beautiful photos of everything happening all day and looking through them allows us to relive the day over and over. We had a beautiful day filled with so much joy and we cannot thank Julie enough for capturing that joy in photos."

We already have our photos back and edited not even a full week later (and we can't stop looking at them)."

"Julie was absolutely amazing in photographing our wedding this past August in Portland, Maine. Leading up to the wedding she was very helpful and patient in answering my questions and working together to make sure we had our (very long) shot list taken care of. Both my husband and I have divorced families which means we have double the family members, aka, a lot of "mandatory" photos. She has such a friendly and welcoming personality. Although we had only spoken on the phone (never met in person - I didn't want to do engagement photos) until my wedding day, I felt 1000% comfortable with her when we met! I received SO many compliments throughout the night of how "involved" she was... out on the dance floor capturing every moment, mingling with our guests to get the perfect shots! She was crazy quick to send back our edited photos and USB drive. THANK YOU for making our wedding day so easy and fun!!!"

"Julie was amazing from the planning to the final product. Julie was one of the few photographers that was willing to do a custom package, I was looking for something more than an elopement package but less than 8-10 hours, Julie was able to give me a few options in between those two extremes. As a COVID bride the plans changed many times and Julie was always quick to respond and to roll with the revisions. She was super helpful in creating a timeline for the day which I used to coordinate other vendors and my wedding party. In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in on the details to make sure nothing had changed. Day of she was fantastic at handling a very large and rambunctious and possibly a little tipsy set of groomsmen, she got some amazing shots without being “in the way” or disrupting the flow and vibe of the wedding, and my one request was to move through formals fast so we could get to cocktail hour, we had a solid 40 minutes of cocktail hour left to eat and visit with guests! Our wedding was at a boys summer camp so not necessarily the most elegant setting but they way she captured these photos it looks like we are in a woodland fairytale. Probably the most important fact, she got almost 700 photos back to me in a WEEK! A WEEK!!!"

I felt at ease after only talking to her on the phone, so I knew she was a good choice. We had to reschedule our wedding to June 2021 due to Covid. Julie was very understanding and flexible during the rescheduling process. On the day of our wedding, she was delightful to have around and she gave just the right amount of direction. Even my family members commented on how much they liked her. She sent us our entire photo gallery within one week after the wedding and we love the photos. I highly recommend hiring Julie for your wedding!"

I felt at ease after only talking to her on the phone, so I knew she was a good choice. We had to reschedule our wedding to June 2021 due to Covid. Julie was very understanding and flexible during the rescheduling process. On the day of our wedding, she was delightful to have around and she gave just the right amount of direction. Even my family members commented on how much they liked her. She sent us our entire photo gallery within one week after the wedding and we love the photos. I highly recommend hiring Julie for your wedding!"

"If you are looking for a photographer who is experienced, easy to work with and takes beautiful photos, look no further. Julie was super efficient, getting tons of great shots, but allowing us and our wedding party to enjoy the cocktail hour and reception! She was like a photo ninja, blending in and moving thru the day taking great shots that were so natural and candid. She also delivered the photos to us sooo quickly, only 3 days after the wedding! And they came out beautiful. Plus her pricing is beyond reasonable for her level of experience and skills. Great experience all around, we would definitely recommend her."

"We hired Julie for our intimate wedding at a "camp" by a lake in Maine. Ahead of the wedding, she was communicative, organized, and timely. She arrived at the wedding on time and got right to work on photographing the scene (while we were running a bit behind schedule.) Once we were taking couple photos she made it really easy for us, setting us up to act naturally as she got her shots. Throughout the wedding she was engaged and seemed genuinely happy to be there with us. Since we had such a tiny wedding it was really nice to have her feel like she was enjoying being there too. She made she we got all the shots we wanted. And after, she got us the photos within 2 DAYS! They were beautiful and we were very happy. I highly recommend her."

"Literally blown away with the quality of the pictures and the moments she was able to capture! I can look through and literally relive the entire day! From getting ready, to having mimosas with my bridesmaids in our robes, my parents reading the card I wrote them and crying lol, then our entire beach wedding photos were great! She did an amazing job with our family photos but also got some really cool fun ones with our wedding party cheering in the background as we shared a kiss. That one is my absolute favorite. At the reception, again I can relive all the moments, including my uncle's family tradition of finger swiping the back of the cake! She went through and found all of these either fun or intimate interactions between my guests and got photos of that. I am actually sending personal pictures to each couple of them at the wedding with my thankyou cards, they are that good! Julie is a very fun and easy to talk to photographer. Even though this was a destination wedding at a beach that's three hours away from us, I would actually consider having her do my maternity photos down the road! Impressive work. Thank you so much Julie for these beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!"

"We were incredibly impressed by Julie from start to finish. After reading through many reviews we scheduled a phone call to meet each other as we were not local. Her honesty was one of the things I truly appreciated we had just begun the wedding planning process and had already given a few deposits so I asked if I could wait a month before signing our contract and providing our deposit. Julie said yes and that she would let us know if anyone else inquired about our date. A few weeks went by and Julie reached out saying another bride had asked about our day, I knew it was time to move forward. Fast forward to the wedding day, Julie arrived on time with no issues getting herself to the island we were getting married on. We finally met each other in person and I could just tell we were the perfect fit. Having pictures taken can be stressful and uncomfortable at times but we did not feel any of these emotions with Julie we were laughing and just having a really good time. We also had numerous friends and family comment on how great she was! I had heard many horror stories about the length of time couples had waited to get their photos back because of this I was ready to wait weeks knowing full well that the photos would be worth the wait. Much to my surprise just 4 DAYS after our wedding we received a link with every photo available at our fingertips. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. Thanks Julie!"

We had originally planned our wedding for summer 2020, but due to covid-19, our plans changed and for a while we didn't know when/where/what we were going to do. Julie was so flexible and understanding throughout all the uncertainty, and we are so so so happy that we finally had our day and Julie was there to document such a sweet celebration after such a long wait! Julie made our photos so much fun, and we all felt so comfortable with her there. It was such a joy to relive the day when Julie sent us the stunningly beautiful photographs. We cannot recommend Julie enough!"

"If you need a wedding photographer look no further! Julie is simply the best! For starters, when booking, she was so accommodating to my terribly schedule and was so understanding when i had to reschedule and cancel things. There was a point where I almost had to change my wedding date and she was still so flexible and easy to work with! When it comes to taking the pictures she is just simply the best. Both my husband and I have never had these types of pictures done and we waited til the day before the wedding to do our "engagement shoot". She made this awkward pair feel so natural while not looking overly staged or fake. She was very accommodating and patient with our dog being involved as well. When it came to the wedding day she captured everything! More than I could even think of and she really knows how to work with the natural light that is provided, I never really think I look good in pictures but when I look at our wedding photos they are stunning. It is hard to pick my favorites as I just love them all so much. If you still need a wedding photographer do not wait and book her now! you will not be disappointed she is seriously the nicest, calm, most accommodating and talented photographer. 10/10 would recommend!"

"Julie is wonderful! Because of Covid-19, we had to move our reception to next year and to downsize our 2020 ceremony and Julie was very accomodating. She offered us several options, such as a reasonable "elopement-style" package to fit our shorter ceremony's needs or the option of using the engagement shoot time we had already paid for for this abbreviated ceremony. Seriously, so kind! She made what could have been a stressful time so easy and friendly. She clearly LOVES what she does and loves working with the couples she photographs. Not only are her photos magical and effortless, she made my now husband and I (we are very awkward and shy in front of a camera) super comfortable on the day of and we hadn't even met her in person before. A true feat! She was warm, fun to talk to, and very professional while we tried to keep our August 2020 ceremony as covid-safe as possible. Looking at the photos from the day, I'm so impressed that she captured the joy and flow of our very traditional and socially distant church ceremony... Even though there was a lot of mask wearing and not many people there; I can hardly even tell because of her good eye and instincts - every shot is so beautifully done. We are just so pleased! I look forward to seeing her again in 2021 for our reception!"

"Julie was a blessing to work with! Our original wedding plans were changed due to COVID, so we opted for a small elopement with our kids in Maine. Julie was flexible, quick to respond, and really helped us pull together a beautiful ceremony. She had recommendations for a ceremony site and at the last minute allowed us to add an extra photo shoot at our rental house before the ceremony. Julie was thoughtful with her photos and we are so very pleased with her artistic approach to capturing our day. She took so many beautiful candid shots and we treasure her photos as we relive our wedding. She managed to get so many amazing emotions of us and our kids. Julie was comfortable to work with and helped us to feel natural in front of the camera. She was able to edit them and return them to us within a week and we can't stop looking at our photos!"

She uses color, light, and angles all to her advantage which makes for gorgeous and unique photos. Highly recommend!"

Julie responded to us right away. She was friendly, professional, flexible, responsive, and reassuring as we worked out scheduling and traveling safely during COVID. We ended up with a beautiful day for our shoot and, though we were nervous to be in front of the camera, Julie eased us in and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. She was game to figure out a couple of special shots we wanted and then had plenty of great ideas to fill in the rest of our time. She got our pictures back to us so quickly, and they are wonderful! We're so excited to have her with us on our wedding day next year!"

"Jenna and I don't know where to begin in describing our experience with Julie. Readers, do not be fooled by the level of gushing that is about to happen in this review, as although overwhelmingly positive, it sincerely highlights the terrific work produced by this lovely photographer. We first met Julie during our engagement photo shoot in the Old Port and Eastern Promenade in Portland. We live in Memphis, TN, and came to Maine to wedding plan and meet Julie. Despite being a busy weekend, Julie put us at ease immediately. The engagement session was terrific and she did a fantastic job of capturing our personalities and styles. Most impressively, she had the photos edited and sent to us the same day. The work was beautiful. On the day of our wedding, we received the same level of care and professionalism from Julie. She did an impressive job of documenting all aspects of the big day - decor, guests arriving, the bridal party getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Having seen her work through our engagement photos, we were completely at ease and trusting of Julie during the day of our wedding. Julie had all edited photos returned to us less than two weeks after our wedding date. It was unbelievable and we were so impressed with the results. Although the wedding happened two months ago, we keep reliving the day through Julie's work. We can't recommend her highly enough and will be forever grateful we chose her to be part of this huge moment in our lives. Thank you, Julie!"

"You have found the most talented and kind photographer on earth! Stop your search and say yes—she is the one!! My wife and I were so lucky that we snagged Julie to photograph our wedding. All our guests commented on two things: she was so nice, they never saw her taking photos, and the photos turned out SO INCREDIBLE. She has a style and maybe you think it’s not for you but I am telling you as a friend (well, a friend from the depths of the internet): don’t be an idiot. You are going to look astonishingly good in her photos and they will be beautiful and *elevated* and romantic without being cheesy in the least. You will get them fast and they will be incredible and you will sit there awash in blissful memories. Best of all, you won’t be standing at the altar with your not-Julie-photographer all up in your vow-zone thinking, why, why didn’t I listen to that one review????? I’m just thinking of you. I only want the best for you—and the best is Julie. Hands down."

"Julie photographed our wedding on September 7th. She was flexible and calm from the moment we met in the hotel lobby.. She was so go with the flow and gives off such a calming energy (which every bride needs on their wedding day). At one moment, when I felt super anxious before my walk down the isle, Julie took my hands and helped me breathe through it. Not only is she an amazing human, but she is SO talented. She was able to wrangle our big, loud wedding party. She also captured the most beautiful, genuine pictures of my husband and I and she flew around the city with us to many different locations to get the pictures I wanted. Julie shot some amazing photos of our guests at our reception, which was also super important to me! We are so grateful we got to work with Julie on our wedding day. I can't wait to book a family shoot with Julie in our future!"

She was even willing to jump on the ski lift to get a photo of us heading up the mountain (one of my favorites!). She is super prompt in returning emails and messages and I we got our photo back is so quickly (both engagement and wedding). I requested a second shooter for the wedding and Brett was a fabulous addition and Julie took care of all the logistics. I cannot recommend Julie enough! She is amazing!"

She is super prompt in returning emails and messages and I we got our photo back is so quickly (both engagement and wedding). I requested a second shooter for the wedding and Brett was a fabulous addition and Julie took care of all the logistics. I cannot recommend Julie enough! She is amazing!"

"From booking to getting our edited pictures back, working with Julie was effortless. My husband and I aren’t super photogenic but she made us feel so comfortable on our wedding. Her humor and professionalism is unmatched. The pictures are gorgeous and we couldn’t have asked for a better vendor. We look forward to referring everyone we know to Julie and working with her in the future."

"Julie is on top of everything. She is a natural artist and was able to nail the perfect shots in no time. She gave us the perfect guidance so that we didn’t have to run the show. She met with me for coffee beforehand to dream up the perfect day and then ran with it from there and I didn’t have to give it another thought. She is easy going yet able to easily run the show and corral the troops and keep things flowing smoothly—even at our family’s most chaotic moments! She told me jokes during moments of stress to keep me laughing through the big day. Her photos capture the spirit of the day and the personality of the couple and crowd! She is a supporter of love in all forms. Her fees are extremely reasonable for her talents and hard work. I would recommend her to everyone I know and love!"

"Julie did a fantastic job capturing our wedding day from beginning to end! We had her do our engagement photos as well, and throughout the entire process she was super responsive to emails and very willing to answer any and all questions we had. She did a really good job of helping us be comfortable getting our picture taken and giving us direction on how to pose so we could get the best pictures. She also got our pictures back to us extremely quickly, we got our engagement photos the next day and the wedding photos 3 days after our wedding. It was so nice to see them so quickly. At our wedding, we didn't even notice she was there during the ceremony or reception, she did a really good job of blending in and getting nice candids of people enjoying themselves. We would highly recommend her!!"

From our first contact, she worked with us and offered suggestions to ensure we had all the photographs we wanted (and many more) to capture our big day. She was also very flexible with our schedule, working with us right up until our wedding day to figure out a final plan – she very kindly drove us to a nearby beach (which she offered to do for us rain or shine) after our ceremony, then took us over to our wedding dinner. The photos she captured were breathtaking and better than we could have imagined. We are so grateful to Julie for her amazing talent that captured our special day so perfectly!"

We had specific shots in mind that we wanted to capture throughout the night and she gave us those and more. I wouldn't have gone with anyone else for one of the most important days of my life!

"We originally found Julie on this website and chose her based on her glowing reviews, awards, and photos! We are so glad we took that risk. Immediately Julie was on board with anything and everything we wanted. Our wedding did need for all vendors to be flexible because of last minute rain and Julie was able to jump right in and go with the flow. Before even meeting Julie we checked out her website, and social media sites and fell in love with her style. We were really looking for photographs that would be works of art and Julie's work is just that. My husband and I are super camera shy but Julie was able to make us feel extremely comfortable as if it was your best friend just casually hanging out. When Julie first arrived she began right away. We threw a few curveballs at her, such as going down the street to take pictures on a bridge in the rain. She didn't question our sanity but simply jumped in a car and had a blast.
Julie was able to catch so many candid photos, which I wanted of our guests. She also got photos of everyone, without being annoying! Julie truly caught the essence of love and joy in our faces in every photo. She had many suggestions at our venue, even though she had never been there before. Her eye for art truly makes her a great photographer. She also had our photos to us within a week! We could not have been happier or more impressed with her work. I would recommend her to anyone looking for amazing photos! Our wedding was November 3, 2018 and we are still receiving compliments to this day, 6 months later, of how amazing our photos are."

We can now confidently say, wedding photography is one thing we will not be stressing about anymore. Julie came through for us big time this October and was able to do engagement pictures when we were in town for a long weekend. During the shoot, Julie was pleasant, professional, and skilled in capturing terrific photos in downtown Portland. The two-hour shoot felt organic and comfortable. The most impressive component of the experience was the turnaround time. She had the entire edited batch of engagement photos to us within six hours and the results were terrific. We are so pleased with them and are beyond thankful we selected Julie to be our wedding photographer. We can't wait to work with Julie again during the wedding next summer. Highly recommend - thanks! - John & Jenna"

So many photographers go for those dark, mystery feeling photos, which is really not what we wanted for our wedding. We wanted photos that reflected our colorful, fun-filled, happy day! Her candids are also superb. I definitely recommend looking through her photos and seeing if they're the look you want, because that is what is actually important when picking out a photograher. On top of having great style, she's so easy to work with. We definitely connected instantly, and now we not only have amazing photos, we have a new friend :-) We did an engagement shoot as well, which was amazing. She took an industrial setting, and made it happy and light; the perfect blend that we were looking for. She did direct us on some poses during this shoot, which was helpful since we had never posed for photos before. However our wedding day was so hectic, less of this directive posing happened. I do recommend booking an engagement shoot, especially if you think you're going need to get used to posing with a bit more direction."

We planned our wedding from out of state, and she was so helpful in scouting locations ahead of time so as to be prepared on the day. She answered our (many!) questions in a timely manner whenever we had them, and worked seamlessly with our videographer to coordinate shots. Most of all, she led our day with a low-key, positive attitude while keeping everyone on schedule. We received our photos less than a week after our wedding day and can't stop scrolling through! Gorgeous work."

"Julie is amazing and we would highly recommend her! The first time we met Julie was at our engagement session. Instantly she made us feel comfortable in a setting with many tourists around us. The photos came out beautifully and we used them for our save the dates. Then at the wedding she took all of the photos we had asked for and more. She had never been to our venue before, but you would never know from our images and how well she worked with our other vendors. Julie was extremely accommodating and personable. We have nothing but positive things to say of her work and absolutely love our wedding photos. Thank you Julie!"

All of my friends and coworkers who have seen them haven't stopped gushing and told me how lucky I was to have someone so talented to capture our wedding. You can really feel the whole vibe of the wedding in the photographs. Highly recommended! Thanks, Julie, for capturing our day so perfectly."

"Julie photographed our wedding and she was AMAZING. We got our photos back really quickly and they were perfect. We did our formal photos before the ceremony and it rained on and off up until about an hour before our ceremony, but Julie still made it work and was able to get beautiful pictures of us, our family, and wedding party. A great thing about having Julie as our photographer wasn't just how perfect the final product was but how easy she was to actually work with. My fiancé and I were really nervous about being awkward in our photos because we've never been professionally photographed before and we're both generally awkward in photos to begin with, but she made us feel completely comfortable the entire time. Even when she was photographing us getting ready with our bridesmaids and groomsmen, it never felt like we were being photographed and felt more like she was there hanging out with us as a friend. I highly recommend hiring Julie as your photographer for your wedding or really any special occasion."

"Julie was so wonderful to work with from start to finish. We are not from Maine, but planned to elope in Acadia National Park. Julie was so great with discussing details ahead of time, and checking in with us leading up to our trip. She made us feel immediately comfortable (this was invaluable!) and we had so much fun driving around with her to different locations for our photos in the park. Flash forward one week (yes, just ONE WEEK) to when we got our photos - my husband and I were completely overwhelmed with the amazing photos we got back. Neither of us are very comfortable in the camera but Julie captured the only thing that mattered - our joy and love on our special day. We couldn't be more grateful for how she helped direct us and made sure that we got the best photos possible. We can't pick a favorite shot - we can't even pick 10 favorite shots. Julie is the best!!!"

She made every part of the process easy from communication, to scheduling, to payment. Her turnaround time is great, she even had the pictures ready for us to view online while we were still on our Honeymoon. Julie could not be nicer or easier to worth with, I highly recommend using her for your wedding!"

"Julie was amazing from the engagement shoot to the wedding day! We had so much fun during the engagement shoot that my husband and I knew we made the right choice. About 6 months before the wedding we decided we wanted to have a second photographer (to get pictures of the men getting ready) and Julie made this happen with no issues! She was amazing the whole day of the wedding, helping keep me on time for the first look without making me feel rushed. The amount of beautiful pictures that we got from the wedding day was completely unexpected! We are having a hard time narrowing it down to even 30 pictures for a wedding album. As an added bonus we also got some really great candid shots of everyone at the reception which we can't wait to give to people as Christmas presents! Not only that but the feedback time was always faster than expected, ever email was responded to within 24 hours and almost always within an hour or two and it took under a week to get access to our finalized photos online after the wedding. You CAN NOT go wrong with Julie as your photographer for this very important day!!"

From the first contact with Julie, she was well organized, detail oriented and on board to make sure we got what we were looking for. She came through in an unbelievable way!
Julie was great the day of our wedding too. She was never "in the way" or in the middle of everything yet anytime I looked up and wanted a specific photo, she was right there and willing to snap away. She would find certain lighting and pull us away for a few to take a some shots (which came out fabulous!!!) I recommend for any special moments you want captured. Another bonus, we got our photos back in less than 3 weeks!!!! :)"

She was so easy to work with, and was very professional and composed. She made sure we were able to get the shots I had requested ahead of time, even while dealing with a rowdy group of groomsmen. She was a pro!! Many of our guests commented on how she did a fantastic job of blending right in. She wasn't at all over-bearing or in the way. She knew how to capture the best moments, while just letting everyone have a great time! Her packages are all, also, very affordable. I would recommend her to anyone!!! We're so lucky to have found her."

"Julie was a fantastic photographer with a whimsical style, making everything look so angelic and beautiful. She was so easy to work with. I am not comfortable in front of a camera, but she made me feel so at ease, even though we had never met until the day of my wedding. She was easy to work with, really patient with all the family portraits I wanted, even bringing the list I had sent her, making sure we got all the shots I requested. And there were many with my unconventional family! Julie made us feel comfortable and gave us good direction. She was very responsive throughout the process and posted a sneak peak within a few days, which was so exciting to see. She sent us an edited online album in a week (!). Her artistic ability is astounding and these are literally the most beautiful photos I could ever have of the best day of my life."

"Julie is personal, warm and we instantly felt confident that she knew what she was doing (which was great, because we were complete noobs). She is organized, consistent, flexible and incredibly professional with her communication and services. We were thrilled with the photos. She sent us back so many amazing bride and groom photos we can’t decide which ones to frame. We also really appreciated how well she captured our guest, the ambiance of the venue and party and she did so without being intrusive or distracting. We didn’t get a videographer and I don’t regret it. Julie did such a great job of documenting the small details and curating great photos that tell our wedding story. We were both shocked at how fast we got the photos back (less than a week) and were thrilled when she sent us a professional USB book/case that is adorable and personal. She has an eye for details and we will appreciate her work for a lifetime. Could not recommend her more!"

"Julie was a joy to work with for our wedding. She was incredible professional and unobtrusive throughout the day. Julie was prompt and very attentive to the schedule we had, but also flexible and able to adapt when we were running ahead of schedule or behind schedule during the day. During our portraits, Julie took a mix of posed photos where she gave us some instruction, and photos where she just stepped back and captured moments without any instruction. Julie was nearly invisible throughout the day. She got beautiful photos of the details of our wedding and of moments at the wedding. She was incredibly easy to work with, listened to we wanted and made us feel as at ease in the awkward posed photos as possible. We didn’t do an engagement shoot, but I would recommend it, I think it would have made us feel a little more comfortable in front of the camera on the wedding day. Julie got photos back to us before we even got back from the wedding, we have full digital access is 3 days, and a thumb drive with all the photos within 2 weeks. We highly recommend Julie, she was great, easy to work with, and her photos were absolutely beautiful."

"Julie was the perfect wedding photographer! We can't recommend her enough. We were given quotes from other photographers for double the price - who were not nearly as talented as Julie.
We booked our engagement shoot with Julie for October in Maine. It was freezing cold and raining on the day but Julie agreed to do the shoot with us anyway. We were worried about posing and the photos looking inauthentic as neither of us is super extroverted, but Julie made the whole time super easy and light. Also, she had the photos ready for us the same night as the shoot! The photos turned out better than we could have imagined and did not look staged or too posed.
Our wedding was in May at Laudholm Farm. We wanted a wedding that was very us - easygoing, happy, romantic - and Julie captured every bit of that feeling in the photos. She even drove us to our first look spot when we realized we hadn't planned the transportation/timing correctly. Julie is present but not overbearing, super easy to work with, and so quick in editing the photos. Our wedding was on Saturday and Julie emailed us that the pictures were ready on Monday. (My sister didn't get her wedding photos from another photographer until four months later!).
We can't say enough good things about working with Julie! We wish you all the best."

The photos look natural and beautiful and really help capture the scenery around us. One of my favorite things about Julie was how prompt she was to get the photos to us after the wedding. I have a friend who didn't see her photos until four weeks after the wedding, but that's not how Julie works! We had 30 shots just three days after the wedding,followed by all 600 of our shots just a week later. Please please work with Julie - she's amazing!!

"We were so fortunate to have Julie as our wedding photographer. Planning a wedding from afar proved to be stressful but communication with Julie was painless from the very beginning. She was quick to respond to emails and incredibly receptive to our ideas and wishes. Her photos, which obviously speak for themselves, are stunning. Her ability to work the entire space without you even knowing she is there was so critical for creating a comfortable environment. The turn around time on our photos was super quick yet the quality of the photos and edits didn't take a hit as a result. We can't say enough good things about her work as a photographer and her presence as a guest at our wedding. You'd simply be silly not to hire Julie as your photographer!"

"Julie was the best wedding photographer for our Winter Harbor wedding. She is funny, easy-going, professional, and just INCREDIBLE at what she does. She was responsive and very thoughtful leading up the wedding. The photos arrived quickly, were beautifully wrapped, and were just perfect. We are so happy Julie was our photographer and would ABSOLUTELY recommend her!!"

"Julie did an absolutely stunning and flawless interpretation of our wedding at On The Marsh in Kennebunk, Maine. My family and I were discussing how we were disappointed that we didn't film some of the wedding, but once we saw Julie's photos and how she captured the ambiance, energy, and love throughout the day/night we didn't even need to have a video! She portrayed our wedding down to the smallest details, her perspective and color use is so unique and natural. She conveyed vibrancy, happiness, artistic angles, creativity, and a very whimsical and fairytale vibe.
She was a pleasure to work with and open to suggestions. She is an easy, generous & effective communicator. She continued to attentively answer my questions even after she had sent me the final photo album. Point being she could have had an attitude that she didn't need to spend anymore attention or time on our photos but instead she positively continued to talk thru the photos with me.
Her photos truly made me feel like my wedding was straight out of a magazine! I also appreciate that she did not do a lot of posing and premeditated shots. I just cant say enough about her work!! Myself and our family and friends were beyond impressed with her professionalism, attentiveness and of course the final product. I highly recommend you hire Julie so she can capture your special day just as she did for ours! Thank you Julie!!!"

"We are so happy we booked Julie for our Bar Harbor wedding in June! From the start Julie was friendly, laid-back, and efficient. She was quick to respond to all of my questions and made sure she knew which shots were important to us. The day of the wedding she arrived early to scope out the venue & really used the details of the space for her pictures. Our preview and pictures were finished in no time and the pictures are wonderful!"

"Searching for a wedding photographer was a stressful activity for someone who has very particular taste but a limited budget, and I feel so grateful that I found Julie! She is so sweet and responsive. My husband and I were both feeling pretty awkward about having engagement photos taken, but Julie made us feel totally at ease! She showed up early the day of the wedding and somehow managed to be so fun to have around and also not at all intrusive. We received our photos within two weeks of the wedding, and I was so delighted to see that she had captured so many little moments that I had missed. Julie has a great eye for detail and a great talent for capturing heartfelt moments!"

"I was looking through photographers on another wedding website and found myself disappointed that all the photographers I liked were way out of my budget. When I happened upon Julie I was intrigued, he perspective is very natural and nothing appears forced. I was so thrilled that not only could we afford Julie's photography, but we could really do everything thing we wanted with photography while staying in our budget. Julie was lovely doing a phone consult as we live several hours away, she let us customize a photography package and turned around our engagement photos in record time! I was so surprised to see Julie pop up while we were setting up the day before the ceremony, she had come out to scout sites for photos based on what trees and flowers were blooming. Julie was all around fantastic the day of the wedding, she was never pushy about getting shots or when we were going to do things- and she still managed to get almost every shot that we had requested! We recently received our photos and we are so thrilled with them! They really capture "us"- they are not the cookie cutter, but they still are the best version of us there is!"

"Julie is the best!! We used her for our wedding two weeks ago and could not be happier with our choice. Compared to other photographers we met with, her prices were very reasonable. She was easy to work with, took the time to research and explore places to do shots before the wedding, and the quality of her pictures just blew us away! After the wedding she got us our pictures very quickly and we just received our USB which came in an awesome case. Overall, Julie got all the photos we wanted and more. I even commented to my husband that it was like she was in more than one place at once- she somehow seemed to get amazing shots at all angles. Everyone commented on how great our photographer was and we wholeheartedly agree. Would HIGHLY recommend Julie!!!"

"Working with Julie as our engagement and wedding photographer was beyond a pleasure. One of the most important things for us on our wedding day was to feel relaxed and comfortable, and Julie went out of her way to ensure this. She is extremely professional and fun, and understood what we wanted for our day. She has the ability to notice the fine details, and this comes across in all of her photographs. Her images are beautifully composed and are both elegant and playful. She is able to read her subjects flawlessly, creating unique and incredibly creative work. Julie captured the special moments that stand out from the day, while never making it feel like the camera was in our faces. This helped us and our guests to feel relaxed and comfortable with her, and resulted in truly amazing and special images! She sends the images, prints, and books quickly, and the photo books are wonderfully designed. These are great keepsakes that we will cherish forever. We recommend Julie highly and without reservation."

"I don't even know where to begin. Julie is an outstanding photographer. I stumbled upon her work through tagged photos on Facebook. I thought to myself, "she has to be way out of our budget" But, she is surprisingly affordable, with work that says otherwise. We have only had our engagement photos so far, but I am so pleased with our decision to have her be our photographer. Choosing a wedding photographer is a stressful, you never know what kind of work they will produce. But I can say Julie produces incredible photos. We look forward to sharing our special day with such a fantastic woman, with a great personality, that puts us at ease. If you cannot decide on a photographer, and you're reading this, choose Julie K. Gray Photography! :)"

4. The likes - everyone loooooved the photos you did. Everyone...I keep hearing it.

"I have one word for Julie - AMAZING! Picking a wedding photographer was no easy task. I looked through thousands of photographs trying to figure out what 'my style' was. Then you narrow down your hunt and start the e-mail game. Julie was one of the first people to get back to me. This meant a lot to me. Planning a wedding is extremely stressful and there's nothing worse than a vendor who keeps you hanging. Next came the meetings. Friends told me that it was extremely important that you like the photographer you will be working with - they are going to be with you, in your face at times, all day! Well, from the moment we met Julie, there was no one else. Julie is a real person. She is fun, funny, creative, and intelligent. There is nothing we did not like about her. We had to have her! My wedding planner recommended I do an engagement shoot to get comfortable with my photographer. I decided it should be a 'winter wonderland' type of shoot. So Julie and I spent weeks and weeks e-mailing back and forth about the weather forecast, just to get the perfect snow day! We would schedule and then have to reschedule, it was quite comedic. But Julie was always there, ready to get on with adventure when ever the weather would allow. As for the big day, I think the pictures say it all....they are stunning! Julie came out early to take pictures of the grounds, the flowers, the tables, etc. And for one person, I have no idea how she was able to capture so many angles of our ceremony! She was so inconspicuous during the reception, which was so important. We did not want to feel like we were being hounded by paparazzi. Julie was and in the BEST! We cannot wait till our next special event, so that Julie can be there to capture every moment!"

"Julie was FANTASTIC. I searched for months to find someone who would work within our budget, and Julie was wonderfully flexible and frankly far more talented than the photographers charging twice as much as she did. People have been raving about our wedding photos for weeks now! Julie has an eye for candid, sweet moments. I just love looking at her photos, I feel like I get so much more from my wedding because of her. She really got all of the details perfectly. Also she seriously did a great job of taking images with my best profile! I seriously look great in every shot! No fat arm photos to be found (brides to be, you know what I'm talking about). She was ridiculously flexible, and when our wedding timeline ran late due she stayed and made sure to get the father daughter/ mother son dances. I really can't say enough about her. Really, truly - if you are in the Maine area, consider Julie. You absolutely will not regret it."

"We hired Julie as our photographer for our small, at-home wedding. For me, the photography was one of the most important parts of the day, but with it being such a brief ceremony, we didn't want to go overboard on a package. Julie was flexible and accommodating right from the start. She was professional and friendly throughout all of our email communications before the big day. She not only was careful to listen to the kind of shots that we wanted to be sure to catch, but also provided her own ideas as well. She was a trooper about standing out in the freezing cold with us (our wedding was on New Years Eve), and friendly and personable with our family members. After the wedding, we received a DVD with our photos within a quick couple weeks, along with a sampling of photos online just a few days after. Most importantly, Julie got some truly fantastic shots! Family and friends have all commented on how great the pictures came out. And we've already booked Julie for some summer shots in June. Can't wait!!"

We were ecstatic that she sent a sneak-peak of our album the day after the wedding. We couldn't be happier and more grateful for the beautiful moments Julie artfully captured in our wedding photos!"
