DOCUMENTING HOW IT FELT: 

a love letter to being human

I believe a photograph’s true beauty is in the feeling it evokes: a reminder of life’s fleeting, tender moments. My work is a love letter to being human, capturing not just how a moment looked, but 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 the memory to the meaning, my goal stays the same: to document it all so you can return to these moments again and again.

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

Hi, I'M julia

I’m inspired by connection, presence, nostalgia, and what it means to be truly seen. As someone who has always had a deep love for memories, I notice the little things that make a moment feel whole: a lingering glance, a loving gaze, tender gestures, and the small details that often go unnoticed but tell the real story. To me, a photograph isn’t just an image; it’s 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 that’s what makes life memorable. They inspired me to create photographs that let us feel the moment all over again.
