5.0/5.0 STARS, RACHEL FREDERICKSON (originally posted on weddingwire.com)
"I wish I could rate Julie with more than 5 stars because it would be more like 500! :) Her attention to detail and her passion for her craft is evident in every picture she captures- a true artist. She is an absolute joy to work with, and made myself and my husband feel so at ease in front of the camera. We love how she finds the beauty in nature and incorporates it in her photos. She is extremely professional: quick to respond to emails, quick to process pictures, and quick to send them! I would highly recommend Julie, you would be so fortunate to have her as your photographer!"

"Julie was FANTASTIC! I can't say enough about her- we are so pleased. Prior to our wedding, Julie was helpful and quick to respond to emails, she was flexible and patient as we were deciding how many hours we wanted. On the day of, Julie was professional and so easy to work with. She made us feel relaxed (even though being photographed is not our thing) and she managed to capture everything, yet her presence was so subtle. Julie was so quick in getting our photos to us and they are more than we could have asked for- Julie is incredibly talented!"

"Julie is terrific! My fiance, Jenna, and I are planning a destination wedding for summer 2019 in Maine, so we've had to work through tight timelines and logistics from afar. 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"

"Julie was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish! She is extremely responsive, and very flexible as far as timing and location. We hired her to do our wedding photos, and fortunately she suggested we do a quick engagement shoot as well. She was able to create a custom pricing package to meet our needs, and even suggested an amazing “first look” spot in Portland that we never would have thought of. All the photos she took are magical! She got us our full edit (over 500 photos) in only a few days. We’re so happy every time we look at her photos!"

"We used Julie for our wedding a month ago and could not be happier with the photos and our experience. We were first recommended to her by a friend. When we first talked to her on the phone we knew she would be great for us. She was easy going and very personable and we got a long really well. We were able to do an engagement shoot that really helped us prepare for how things would go on our wedding day. On the actual day of things got hectic but she was calm cool and collected. Really I could not imagine or wedding without her and the photos we took. I will definitely be recommending her to friends and family."

"We are so happy we went with Julie K. Gray as our wedding photographer. Her style is light and refreshing. 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."

And as an added bonus to loving all of the photos and Julie's personality, she got our engagement photos to us THE SAME DAY! I can't say enough good things!"

She is excellent at communicating and getting back in touch with you quickly. She was punctual, professional, and just fun/easy to be around! And the photos...well the photos...they were breathtaking. Every one of my family and friends are in awe of our photos from Julie. I could not be more pleased."

The turnaround was SO quick and our photos are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I can't stop looking at them. My guests keep telling me they can't believe how many guest photos she captured. She got EVERYTHING. Her style just lets you relive the emotions and excitement of the day. 10000% recommend her any day."

"We absolutely love our wedding pictures! Our day ended up being off-and-on rainy, but Julie took it in stride, umbrellas and all. 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."

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!"

"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!!!"

"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 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!!!

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."

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."

Now two months after the wedding I still love looking through them all the time and am really happy we went with Julie. 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!!

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 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!!!"

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!"

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 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.

"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!"

"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.

"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!!"

"I just got my engagement photos back from Julie, they are honestly the best photos of my fiancé and I that either of us have ever had. The turn around for editing was super fast and Julie could not be more fabulous to work with. We are so happy that we chose Julie and can't wait for her to capture our day!"

"We were so lucky to have found Julie for our wedding photography. From the start she was very easy to communicate with, and more than willing to customize her photography package to our needs. We were touched that she was genuinely interested in learning more about our story and personalities. I'm so impressed by her sense of adventure- She was willing to shoot in a rainy field with us for our first-look photos, but we were the ones who decided to play it safe and stay indoors:) Julie has such a sweet personality and we felt very comfortable being photographed by her. 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!"

"It was really important to us to have a photographer that we felt comfortable with. Our first meeting with Julie felt like we were seeing an old friend. At our wedding she felt like a friend or family member. She captured so many beautiful moments, so many moments that we didn't even notice her capturing. Completely unobtrusive. We are so pleased with our wedding photos and we love that we received the digital images, which made sharing our day so easy!"

"We were married in June of 2010. I found Julie while doing an internet search for photographers near our area. As soon as I met her I knew I wanted her to shoot our wedding. She has such a great and fun personality, she really felt more like a guest than a hired photographer. The pictures were beautiful and we found we had many favorites:) I highly recommend Julie."

"Julie has an incredible eye for color in her work. The clarity and color of the photos makes them feel like treasures and completely translate the sense of my wedding day. The compositions and mood are lovely. I couldn't be happier. Also, my jittery nerves at the family photo shoot pre-wedding ceremony were thankfully balanced by Julie's calm and professional work. She was unobtrusively present all night and caught so many moments that were a pleasure to discover and revisit in our photographs."
