A LOVE LETTER TO BEING HUMAN

I document the human experience: every laugh, every glance, every unexpected moment, so your wedding day is preserved as a story you can feel again and again.

Your gallery will capture the way your partner gazed at you as you laughed, the unexpected moments like a cake slice falling as you're cutting it, the joyful dance moves with friends, the sunset lighting the sky, and all the big and small moments that made your day true to how it felt.

the quiet anticipation before the first look

the calm, clear sky after the storm

how the moonlight spilled over the purple skies

how there's so much world around you, but just enough for the three of you

From the feeling, to memory, to artful portrait, my goal stays the same: to document the emotion that lives.

Julia Fay is a documentary-style wedding photographer based in Salt Lake City, Utah specializing in immersive, emotive, and cinematic storytelling for couples in New York City, Park City, and worldwide.

ABOUT julia

I’m inspired by connection, presence, nostalgia, and what it means to be truly seen. Your story deserves to be remembered in all its small, meaningful details: the lingering glances, the loving gestures, the quiet moments that often go unnoticed but shape the story of your day. My goal is to capture not just images, but memory, feeling, and the imperfect beauty of life as it happens.

And that’s what makes us human.

My dogs, Blue and Laska, taught me that emotion drives connection, and connection is what makes moments unforgettable. And this is exactly why I create organic, thoughtful photographs that let you relive your day exactly as it felt.
