Julie Saad Photography

One of my top priorities was to have a great photographer so that we had beautiful pictures. I did a LOT of browsing, and realized quickly that I was picky and had (very) expensive tastes.
Julie exceeded all of my expectations, and was surprisingly in our budget. Julie was amazing to work with. I felt like we were friends after one meeting! She was fun to have around for the day of the wedding, highly professional, was able to efficiently direct all of the posed photos (so important so that you can stay on schedule and avoid tricky situations with pushy family members!), and was unobtrusive through out the day. She drove to CT before the wedding to scope out our venue with us, and stayed for an extra hour with out charge on our wedding day!
We just received our wedding pictures from her, and all 800 are gorgeous! Great lighting, framing, no cheesy shots/​editing, or bad cropping (things that really stick out to me as an artist myself!) We could not be happier. Highly recommend!

My friend and I came to Julie Saad’s studio for girls’ day out/​glamour portraits. Prior to the session, we were both able to Skype with Julie and show her some clothes we were considering for the photos. We got to talk about out concepts and what feeling we wanted for the images. Julie helped me to choose pieces that would photograph well from what was already in my closet. Before, during, and after the session, Julie was fast and responsive any time I needed to reach her by email or phone.
When we arrived for our session, we had a wonderful hair and makeup session with Amy Klewitz! She was fantastic! Both Amy and Julie were so warm and friendly, there was no time to feel nervous — I felt completely at ease! We also laughed a lot, making for a super fun day!
Julie’s studio is small but bathed in sunlight! Julie has a variety of fabrics and backdrops to complement any look or feel (light and airy, dark and dramatic, fun and playful, etc.). We were able to take pictures in a variety of outfits with different backgrounds in just a few hours. We got to take pictures individually, as well as together.
Our pictures were ready for us really soon after. Julie set up an appointment where we could view the images — not on a computer screen, but beautifully matted and ready to display! It was a magical experience getting to see them this way. The pictures came out amazingly, and this made it very hard to choose the final ones! However, Julie didn’t rush us and allowed us to really take our time.
When the final decision was made, we received our pictures in the mats and in beautiful keepsake archival boxes. They were wrapped and presented wonderfully, and included flash drives of the digital images. I have given some of the pictures away as gifts and I’ve gotten so many complements on them! I am so happy I got to have this experience with my friend and that Julie made this such a great day for us both! We will never forget it and we have the wonderful photos to forever enjoy!
WEIRD SIDE NOTE: After I shared some of Julie’s photos of me on social media, Julie noticed some fraudulent Twitter accounts using the images and she alerted me right away. I truly appreciate her looking out for her clients and ensuring the pictures weren’t being misused.

We just had an extremely fun Girls Day out portraiture session at Julie Saad’s Williamsburg studio! We were simply «wowed» by Julie’s talent, experience and her personable way to relate to her clients of all ages. I would never had thought I was capable of «looking that good» until I saw Julie’s prints… simply classy, elegant, and pictures that speak the best photographic techniques, but most important of all, Julie captures «me» and my personality in the picture with an artistic touch.

I can’t say enough good things about Julie Saad. I think every bride should use her as their photographer. Her photos speak for themselves because they are beautiful and her artistic talent is unmatched by any of the other wedding photographers we found. Although those elements of a photographer are important, there were a few additional qualities that made me love Julie even more.
The interesting part a photographer plays in a wedding is that they have to create and capture the special moments that take place at a wedding such as the first look, couples portraits, family photos and then of course the actual ceremony and reception. As an avid photographer myself, it is important to me to have these photos to look back as part of the memory.
Due to her incredible photo journalistic style, artistic talent and pre planning/​preparations, Julie was able to capture these special moments, making sure we will ever forget them in an extremely artistic way. We were unbelievable happy with the result. Not only did she enhance our wedding day through photography, she also helped make sure the day was executed smoothly and added a calm presence to an otherwise hectic experience.
In addition, her professionalism and quick responses put me at ease before my wedding day and gave me a sense of confidence prior to the event. She worked closely with us to make sure she understood my husband and I as a couple as well as our vision for our wedding. I highly recommend Julie to any couple.

Julie Saad is an incredibly talented photographer and artist and I was so happy that I found her and hired hire for my wedding weekend. Not only is she incredibly gifted, but it was a pleasure to work with her and she really helped make our wedding weekend fun. She has a wonderful ability to capture detail and will leave you with beautiful memories that you will cherish for many years to come.
From the first moment that I corresponded with her I was impressed by her professionalism and flexibility. Julie is a great listener and honored all of my photo requests and we discussed in great detail what I was looking for from a photography. She did a great job setting the expectations and then following through with everything that we discussed.
I strongly recommend hiring Julie as she will help make your event special. Her work speaks for itself and I am so thankful that she was our photographer.
