welcome to my blog! For those of you just visiting for the first time, welcome!   My name is julie weaver and I am a Southern California based photographer. I have been a professional photographer for the past 10 years and have specialized in weddings and portraits.

Having a family of my own, I understand the importance of capturing those little moments that seem to flash before our eyes....the quirky smiles, the scrunchy noses, the temper tantrums, the interaction that takes place between you and your child....and even those wonderful teenage years...it's priceless and gone before you know it!  I am THAT person who gets to capture those silly and precious moments that you love so much. That's why I absolutely LOVE my job!

Thanks for stopping by!

As I was sitting at my office computer yesterday,waiting for my next photo shoot, I looked out my window to see a beautiful little girl full of curls bouncing up my long walkway with her gorgeous mom to meet me for their long awaited photo shoot with her two equally beautiful cousins.

Meet Lyric... A playful little girl who loves her cousins and has a very spunky and fun attitude, all at the big age of 2!

This past Sunday I was a part of the exclusive Wedding Studio bridal show that was held at the beautiful Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach.

My first show...and I had a blast! Lots of awesome vendors and potential clients!
The very organized Wendy Dahl from Dahl Wedding Company coordinated this event. Thank you, Wendy, for a flawless show!!! You worked so hard on this!!!
I also have to give a shout out to Rrivre. Rrivre from Rrivre Works provided all of the design for this show, and it was unbelievably cool.
Good job, Rrivre, and thanks again for all of your hard work on this!

I look forward to hearing from those of you who I had the pleasure of meeting!!!

Here is a quick shot of my booth that I took on my little point & shoot.

WOW! I cannot believe I haven't posted in almost 2 weeks.
Things have been so busy around here, and I have been busy with consultations and the fabulous Wedding Studio bridal show that I was involved in with
the exclusive Ceremony Magazine (more of that to come!)...
I apologize for my slacking.
I will be blogging lots of exciting stuff, so stay tuned!

Here are some images that I love from peter and amber's engagement session in Santa Monica. They are getting married this September and I look forward to their big day!
They are a lot of fun, and I am so happy to have learned more about them! They are so adorable together!!!

Today I received something VERY exciting from my UPS man....my brand-spankin-new MARK III!!!!
I can't wait to run out and use this beauty!

Photos to come...
can you believe this things can shoot off 10 frames per second?
That is crazy fast!!!
I have to say that our decision to change over to Canon this year was one of the best
decisions we've made.
I purchased the 30D at WPPI with a few new lenses, and have been PATIENTLY waiting for this
beauty to come along. Now I am fully equipped with all my necessary lenses and the best camera on the market!!!
Expensive switching over, YES...but I absolutely LOVE the functionality of it, and LOVE the LCD screen...
LOVE how fast it is...LOVE the color I get from it...need I say more?
The Mark III (I will refer to him as Mark, my new love!) is sweeeeet!

More to come....

amanda:

how did you get the camera so fast? I didn't think they were available yet?

(06.02.07)
julie:

Hi Amanda...sometimes it's not WHAT you know, it's WHO you know!!!
This camera is so crazy!

(06.03.07)
amanda:

just curious about one more thing. Why the switch from to Canon?

(06.04.07)
julie:

To be honest, I went to WPPI with the intention to upgrade all of my Nikon bodies and the folks at Nikon were extremely rude and really ticked me off!
So already interested in Canon, I went over to their booth and fell in love with what they had. I love the big LCD screen on the Mark III and really just like the functionality of it as a whole. It was worth the wait.
I have to say that both cameras are very good, but having used both of them, I am definitely a Canon fan.
Nikon has to step it up to compare to the Mark III.
Game on!!!

(06.04.07)
Jeanette:

Congratulations! Can't wait to see a post of what Mark can do!

(06.08.07)
Shannon Lott:

Hey, did you see the photos David Jay has been taking with his new Mark III? Sleeping together on his pillow. Hysterical! I'm glad to see you haven't done that yet!

(06.09.07)
Rochelle Ax:

This past Memorial Weekend, I was honored to work with the amazingly talented Joe Photo who is known in this industry as being the "rock star" of photography, and let me tell ya, he did not disappoint in living up to his name at this wedding!!! It was so much fun to work with him and this event was nothing less than beautiful. The wedding took place at The Huntington Hyatt. There were 700 guests entertained throughout the day, and unbelievable florals provided by Square Root Designs

Make sure to keep checking on Joe's blog for more images. I tried to choose my favorite image, but instead chose my favorite moment that really took my breathe away while I clicked the shutter. Joe and I took Amita to a very quite and private area at the hotel and had a really amazing shoot with her there.

There really were SO many more images I would like to share, as there were literally thousands of favorites that I had to choose from!
