Knoxville Wedding Photographer
Elegant, Genuine Wedding Photography for Couples Celebrating in Knoxville and East Tennessee
There is something special about East Tennessee that has always felt like home.
From the foothills of the Smoky Mountains to historic downtown Knoxville and the rolling countryside surrounding the city, East Tennessee offers some of the most beautiful wedding settings in the Southeast. Whether you're planning a mountaintop ceremony, a luxury estate wedding, or an intimate gathering with family and friends, your photographs should reflect not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt.
I'm Julianne, the photographer behind Juls Photography & Company. While my business has taken me throughout the Southeast, East Tennessee will always hold a special place in my heart. Having roots in the area allows me to connect with couples who value family, meaningful traditions, and authentic moments.
My goal is simple: create timeless photographs that tell your story in a way that feels natural, beautiful, and true to you.
Photography That Prioritizes Connection Over Perfection
You don't need to spend your wedding day worrying about where to put your hands or whether you're standing the "right" way.
The best wedding photographs happen when you're fully present.
My approach combines gentle guidance with a documentary style that allows real moments to unfold naturally. I'll step in when needed to create flattering portraits and keep the day moving smoothly, but I also know when to step back and simply document what's happening.
The result is a gallery that feels effortless, emotional, and uniquely yours.

Mountain Weddings, Estate Weddings, and Intimate Celebrations
One of my favorite things about East Tennessee weddings is how personal they often feel.
Many couples choose Knoxville because they want a wedding that focuses on meaningful experiences rather than following expectations.
Whether you're hosting:

I believe your photographs should reflect your priorities and relationships, not trends that will fade over time.

A Calm Presence on Your Wedding Day
Wedding days move quickly.
My job extends far beyond taking photographs.
I help couples build realistic timelines, navigate changing weather plans, coordinate family portraits efficiently, and stay focused on what matters most throughout the day.
Many couples tell me one of the biggest benefits of working with me was simply knowing they had someone experienced beside them who could help the day feel less stressful.
That peace of mind is just as important as the photographs themselves.
