Hi!
I'm Julia

I’m founder of Northern Moon. I fell in love with photography when I was twelve, using my mom’s old camera to do backyard photoshoots with friends.

​

Years later, I earned my Bachelor’s in Photography from OCAD University in Toronto. After graduating, I moved to Vancouver for the mountains and the ocean and worked as the photographer for the Metro Vancouver Regional Parks Foundation.

​

In 2021, I photographed a wedding by chance and instantly knew this was what I was meant to do. I launched Northern Moon, and 2026 will mark my fifth wedding season.

​

I have poured so much time and energy into perfecting my craft, growing my team, and investing in the best gear possible.

My own love story 

Nicolas and I met 5 years ago in Toronto, and after a bit of a whirlwind romance, we ended up in Vancouver. He has been the most supportive person as I started this business, always cheering me on behind the scenes.

​

We have also been in front of the camera a few times ourselves, and that really helped me understand what it feels like. A little vulnerable, a little awkward at first, but also really special.

My Approach

Authentic & Relaxed

Having a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I understand how deeply special and unique each day is. It is often one of the only times when all the people you love are together in one place. While I love creating beautiful portraits for you to hang on your walls, I place just as much importance on capturing the meaningful candid moments shared between you and your loved ones.

​

My goal is to photograph your day as authentically as possible, in a way that feels both elevated and natural. I will gently guide you when needed while allowing you to stay fully present. For most of the day, I will be in the background, quietly documenting the moments as they unfold.

​

My photography style is a mix of candid storytelling and natural posing. I use the elements around you like the wind, light, and landscape to enhance the atmosphere and emotion of each image. When it comes to portraits, I gravitate toward a relaxed approach. I will give you gentle prompts that encourage movement, connection, and real laughter.
