Wally Spice Photography

Julie did an amazing job shooting our wedding! The photos are fantastic and she was friendly and fun to work with. Aaron and Jeff assisted her for the day, and both of them were great as well. They had warned us ahead of time that some of the things they asked us to do would seem weird, but would look cool after the fact, and they were right. Honestly, I had a really good time just chatting and hanging out with them in between shoots and whatnot, which is just an added bonus on top of the amazing job they did.
Julie also took some photos of our dog. I wasn’t so sure how well that would go: she’s a fidgety little thing and unless she’s sleeping, I’ve never got a photo of her that wasn’t blurry. Julie’s shots came out great though!

I was a neighbor of Julie at Wally Spice and babysat her boys when I was a teenager, and always admired her work. When I became engaged to my husband, there was no question who I would ask to be our wedding photographer — I had seen her phenomenal work throughout the years and wouldn’t trust my big day with anyone else.
Julie did not disappoint. She even flew out to Washington DC to take our engagement pictures (on a weekend it reached 90+ degrees nonetheless) and captured some amazing shots. She really has a sense of the best angles to take with each setting and directs you in a way that still looks completely natural in the pictures.
The pictures from our wedding were even more fabulous. We did a photo shoot at my parents’ house, an urban shoot in downtown Detroit and Belle Isle, and of course more at the ceremony/​reception venue. We have fantastic shots from each of the photo shoots, and had a terribly hard time choosing which to put in an album out of all the pictures we had (it literally took us over a year to select all the pictures!).
All around, Julie’s photos are gorgeous — I’m so glad we didn’t look anywhere else for a wedding photographer! Not only are the pictures great, but she is wonderful to work with; very easy going, flexible, but also has some great suggestions based on her experience.
She also does great portraits — we did a photo shoot of our dog (yes, we are THOSE kind of people) and I can’t tell you how cute our baby looks (and I also can’t tell you how Julie worked her magic and got her to stay still — every picture we have taken of her ourselves is a blurry mess!).
Fantastic photography business — I would not recommend anyone else.
