Julie Mikos Photography

We used Julie for our wedding in Occidental this past May and loved her. We instantly loved her presence and vibe and felt comfortable with her. She was always very professional and responsive to us and any of our needs. She was very unobtrusive on the day of the wedding and we saw pictures we had not even known she had taken! The photos were amazing — truly breathtaking. The process after was also seamless. The pictures were put online quickly and the album came sooner than originally expected. what more could you ask for? I have multiple friends who told me their one regret was not really finding a photographer they loved or that they skimped on their photographer. I can’t say enough about how satisfied we are — it was worth every cent to have the amazing photos to look back on. I highly recommend Julie!

Julie photographed our wedding this past October in Sonoma. She is truly an amazing photographer! She magically captured everything throughout the day in an organized, professional, and personable manner. Her time management skills are impeccable – she was punctual and helped keep everything (and everyone) right on track. In addition, the posed and candid photos she took were so beautiful! In fact, her images came out so well that some of my vendors requested her permission to use them to promote their own businesses. Besides delivering such great photographs, she and her assistant were so discreet throughout the day; at times, I forgot they were even there! Once our wedding photos were ready, Julie worked patiently with us as we selected our wedding album photos and tweaked the layout designs during the drafting process. Our album looks superb! I highly recommend Julie for any of your photography needs. She is top-​notch!

Julie Mikos did an absolutely beautiful job at our wedding. She arrived early (exceeding the hours we paid for) in order to get a sense of the layout of the venue. She gave clear directions and had boundless energy throughout the day, and — most importantly — delivered stunning pictures even though I am notoriously un-​photogenic. It was a south asian/​white fusion wedding which she managed to capture in its entirety. I whole-​heartedly recommend Julie — she is truly amazing!

Julie was so patient with our humongous family!
We got married last October on top of Mt Tam on the most perfect gorgeous day overlooking the bay.
Julie covered all the bases and made sure our specific requested shots were taken and she also managed to get some fabulous candid shots. She must have been moving like a ghost because I don’t remember her being around to take some of the shots. It was great. No need to be camera shy.
She was very conscientious about our requests as well as the requests from the family. Did I mention we had a humongous family and included 24 children. Lots to capture with so many little feet running about. She was great to work with.
We are looking forward to capturing many more memories with her in the future.

In addition to everything else awesome about Julie, I now know that she’s the type of person who will climb the stairs up to your third floor condo with 2 broken bones in her foot just to photograph your newborn because it’s the one day all grandparents are in town. Thank you Julie — thank you SO much!

Julie photographed our wedding last August. She was fantastic and her photographs were superb. We hired Julie because her style and personality was a perfect match for my me and my wife. She brought a lot of positivity and energy to photographing our wedding day — keeping things fun and moving during photo sessions and then discretely capturing shots at other times. She left us with plenty of beautiful photographs and great memories.

Julie first photographed me in 2003 for my business headshot. I had had 2 other photographers do the same and the difference was night and day. I still get compliments on that photo which is on my website. I decided to update it this year and am just thrilled with the results! Julie’s photos are always beautiful but they are great because they truly capture one’s personality.
I also had Julie take candid portraits of my daughter in 2003 when she was 3 years old that were precious. This year she updated those as well and managed to get my unenthusiastic 11 year old to crack a few smiles and got several photos of us together that really capture her introverted charm.
Julie works efficiently and is a complete pleasure to spend time with!

Just look at her website gallery and enough said… Julie has an amazing eye and nails weddings and events… but even more difficult family photography and capturing children, she is amazing! She was SO good with my active boys and baby. What I like about Julie as well is she will tell you what to wear or if something isn’t going to work… she is the eye behind the lens, so I trusted her and it paid off! Can’t wait to work with her more.

In a word, Julie is spectacular! I fell in love with her previous weddings, everything from the gorgeous candids to the elegantly posed portraits. Julie is talented beyond words and was a true joy to work with.
Julie was the first vendor that we booked, even before the venue, because we knew that no matter what the weather was like, what venue we chose or what mood we hoped to evoke that she would capture our wedding day perfectly and she did!
After the wedding, Julie created a slideshow for us that told the love story of our wedding day, capturing all of the details that make a wedding truly beautiful. We just love Julie and all that she has done for us. Though the day is over, our wedding will live on in the gorgeous photos that she took.
Julie also set-​up a photo station for our guests which was a total hit! Everyone was raving about how much fun they had in it. Plus, the pictures show all of our guests having an amazing time!
If we were to get married again tomorrow, there is no way I would do it without Julie to capture the day! She is not only an amazing photographer, but a truly wonderful person. Thank you for everything Julie!

Julie is a wonderfully personable wedding photographer. Very responsive, patient, flexible, and amenable to ideas. She struck the right balance of being professional and getting the job done. She maneuvered the photo shoots with us and all the relatives with finesse. What meant the most to us was how she went above and beyond, giving us extra of her time without charging us and helping to clean my dress when I unceremoniously traipsed around in the dirt. The photographs turned out classically beautiful, with a mix of black & whites and color photos. We absolutely loved her slideshow — she got us and the feel of our wedding down perfectly. Julie was likely our most favorite vendor — we highly recommend her!
