your memory holder, calming presence, & Dance floor hype
Tampa-Based Documentary Wedding, elopement and Portrait Photographer
Beautiful photos are only part of the story. What matters just as much is having someone by your side who makes you feel completely comfortable, keeps the energy calm when the day gets a little chaotic, and celebrates right alongside you when you say "I do!"
I’ve always had a soft spot for the little moments. The subtle hand squeezes, the way your people show up for you, the happy tears during your vows, and the feeling in the room when everything slows down for just a second.
Because those fleeting moments become the memories you return to. The little pieces of your story that could easily pass by unnoticed. The ones that deserve to be held onto long after the last dance, the flowers have faded, and the day becomes a favorite memory.

Be fully present and let me handle the rest
You don’t have to think about where to stand or what to do with your hands. With a documentary approach and editorial eye, I'll guide you through the day when you need it, and when a moment speaks for itself I'll take a fly on the wall approach and let you be present. My job is to notice. Notice the moments as they unfold and recognize when something beautiful is about to happen.
your tampa wedding photographer
Tampa-based photographer serving fun-loving & nostalgic couples
A New England girlie from Cape Cod, MA who spent the last 15 years traveling the world before finding a little slice of paradise in Florida that feels like being on vacation 24/7. I still have to pinch myself when I think, "I actually get to live here!?"
Life has a way of passing by pretty dang quick. I've always been drawn to the arts (and my dad's camera). The moment I got one of my own, I was hooked. These days, I have a small collection of cameras that always find their way into my bag because I never want to miss the moments that one day become memories.
To me, photography has never been about perfectly posed moments. It's about preserving the little things that might otherwise go unnoticed and creating photographs that let you see yourself the way the people who love you do - completely at ease, in your element, and entirely yourself.

Would recommend 10x over again
Jules is the BEST! Not only are her photos/editing styles feel like they are straight out of a magazine, but how comfortable she makes you feel during the session is a must with a husband who is awkward posing for pictures. We are lucky enough to have had Jules do our engagement and wedding pictures and i’m so in awe by them. Seriously feels like we made a friend out of the experience. If you love the editorial style pictures, I would recommend Jules 10x over again!

Oh my goodness where to begin?!
First off, Jules has an amazing energy and warm personality. From our first interaction I knew she was going to be a great photographer to work with. She was responsive, easy going and has a great eye for detail and originality in shots. She knows how to direct for poses but will also let you do your thing and capture more candid shots. We kept in touch after the shoot and she’s become a friend who is always there when I have questions! Literally obsessed with the photos we got and can’t wait to work together again!!!

jules is the most talented photographer
Jules is the most talented photographer i have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her personality will make you feel comfortable even if taking photos isn’t your thing. My husband and i spontaneously booked our maternity shoot with her and let be real… no man usually enjoys a photo shoot but he didn’t complain once. She made it so easy for us to be ourselves! The way she captured our love story and excitement over having our first child was truly PRICELESS. I will be using her for all of our photo needs for many years to come!

Jules was truly the best of the best
Not only is she incredibly professional but also deeply passionate about her work. On the day of our wedding, she went above and beyond in ways we never expected. One of the most memorable moments was when she snowboarded down a mountain with us to capture the perfect shots of my husband and me. It was such a unique and adventurous way to get the stunning photos we’ll treasure forever. Every shot, every moment, was perfectly captured with a level of care that made us feel completely at ease. Jules is hands down the best!

Testimonials
Jules is absolutely amazing
My husband and I don’t love taking photos, so when choosing a photographer for our wedding we were looking for someone who helped us become more comfortable in front of the camera and captured a combination of candid and posed photos. Our experience with Jules was that and more! We had SO much fun on our engagement shoot that we went into our wedding day not worrying about feeling awkward taking photos. The experience was better than we could have ever dreamed. Jules is absolutely amazing and highly recommend her for any photographer needs!

The last roll of the night
Every wedding ends in a similar way. A final "see you again" hug and one last photo to remember our time. A little tradition I've come to love. These 35mm shots make their way into my personal scrapbook as a reminder of the incredible people I get to meet and the stories I'm lucky enough to be a part of.
They remind me that this job has never been just about the photographs. It's about the experience, the connection, and all of the really freaking cool people I get to meet along the way.
what guides jules moody photography
Wedding and portrait photographer based in Tampa bay, Florida
Care, intention, and a real love for people guide everything I do. This influences how I show up, how I photograph, and how I protect the moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.
You'll never have to worry about the missed moment. Hug your people, wipe your tears, laugh too loud, and soak it all in. We have you covered. I’ll gently guide you when you need, and when you don't, I’ll step back and let the moment breathe. You get to live it. I’ll make sure it’s remembered.
A presence that lets you be fully there
The quick hand squeeze before you walk down the aisle. The way your mom looks at you when you’re turned away. The split second before the room erupts into cheers. I’m always watching for those in-between moments, because they’re the ones that mean the most later.
An eye for the moments you didn’t even see
These aren’t meant to live on a hard drive. They’re meant to be printed, flipped through, framed, passed around the table. Each photograph has the future in mind, knowing this will forever be part of your story.
Images meant to be held onto for generations
