Studio Julie Photography

Studio Julie Photography is run by a husband-and-wife team, Julie and David, who bring more than 20 years of professional wedding photography experience to their Key West based practice. The pair works across the Florida Keys covering weddings, elopements, and small ceremonies, alongside engagement sessions, family portraits, a documentary-style day in the life family session, senior portraits, business headshots, and general event photography.

The studio describes its style as candid, emotional, honest, and a little quirky, positioning itself firmly in the photojournalistic tradition of wedding photography rather than the more posed, formal style some studios specialize in. That approach tends to appeal particularly to couples planning smaller, more intimate Key West destination weddings and elopements, a segment of the wedding market that has grown substantially in the Keys given the island’s appeal as a low-key, scenic wedding destination compared to larger, more traditional venues.

Julie and David are charter members of the Lifestyle Photography Association and have received a number of international awards from organizations including the Wedding Photojournalist Association and the Family Photojournalist Association, credentials that reflect recognition within specific photography communities focused on candid, documentary style work rather than generic industry awards. Given that the business does not publish a specific street address, it appears to operate primarily through on-location sessions across Key West and the wider Keys rather than from a fixed public studio storefront.

For couples planning a Key West elopement or small wedding who want a documentary style approach to their photos rather than heavily posed formal portraits, Studio Julie’s two decades of combined experience and photojournalism-focused credentials make the husband-and-wife team a notable option among the island’s wedding photographers.

A husband-and-wife photography team also offers a practical advantage on wedding day itself, since two shooters working together can cover both the bride’s and groom’s preparations happening simultaneously in different locations, along with capturing candid guest reactions during the ceremony that a single photographer working alone would inevitably miss while focused on the couple at the altar.

Couples booking a Key West elopement from out of state are generally well served scheduling an introductory video call with their photographer ahead of the trip, so that shot preferences, timeline, and preferred locations around the island are worked out well before the actual wedding day itself, leaving less to figure out once everyone has already arrived on the island and the wedding weekend itself is already underway.
