Julie A. Whitlock Photoblog Fredericton Wedding Photographer bio picture
  • Hello There!!

    Welcome to my blog!

    Please feel free to poke around and find out what I am all about. My blog is full of my images as well as my random thoughts and links to people and things that inspire me. Slide out the "Meet Me" Tab on the Left Sidebar to find out about me.

    The happiness in my photos is real because we have a good time! I choose to partner with clients who are fun, maybe a little silly and value the images we are going to make together!

    My style is {whimsical}. I try to keep it light! Though I have been known to throw in some drama when the occasion calls for it! I step in only when I'm needed ( like those family photos :) and add only what I need to! My candid work is authentic. I don't stage candids! Genuineness is very important to me.

    My Philosophy is be {warm and relaxed}. When you let things flow, great moments happen as they should. A lot of romance, tears and amazing things happen when you feel comfortable around your photographer!

    My job is to be a {storyteller} and to authentically document your day. Weddings are dreams. They may take the shape of feathers and crystals or the family cottage but they are yours and your Mom and Dads' and that you trust me with them is my honour and privilege.

    I live in Fredericton with my husband Steve ( my trusty assistant and tech support) but we don't have to stay here everyday! We like to see different places and meet cool people. Have wedding, will travel!

    Drop me a line!!

Steph and Lou~ Sneak Peek Phase Deux!

Phew. It’s been a long week with many interesting developments. least of all the coming hurricane on my two wedding weekend. Alas, let’s just forget that and look back to the awesome wedding of Steph and Lou. Though Lou, sorry to say, you got gipped on this sneak haha!

Shannon and Tyler~ Cambridge Narrows

I’m pretty behind in my blogging but I wanted to devote a quick moment of thanks to Shannon and Tyler for having us at their amazing wedding yesterday. They were an awesome couple to work with!! They are easily some of the best people you would ever want to meet. And having met their families I can tell where they get their warmth and genuine spirit. You can tell you’re in a family full of nurses in Shannon’s house! It’s no secret Steve and I have had crazy on and off cold/flu/plague all summer it seems and I was really touched by the care I got!! And what an awesome wedding party! Thanks for keeping me laughing all day ladies. And you boys weren’t so shabby either. I hope you guys are doing good today because you sure were having one great time when I left the barn! So here’s to you! And Shannon, use that big spoon wisely!:)

Employee of the Month~ Meet Steve

For anyone who hasn’t met him, this is my husband Steve. Okay, the voting was rigged for this competition! But I thought he deserved a little shout out! At any given wedding he can be seen toting ALOT of gear, holding bouquets, purses, sunglasses…you name it. He’s my computer guy, chauffeur, navigator, balance beam, hydrator, snack guy… He does it all but actually take a picture. Ask him about the one he got in focus once. He’ll tell you all about it!! So here’s to Steve. I could not do it without you and I wouldn’t want to even if I could! If everyone getting married gets half as lucky as I have, you’re going to be really happy!

Jill - Congratulations to Steve, the employee of the summer!
It was great to have him working at my wedding. Otherwise all of the pictures would have had Chris in sunglasses! Hope he got a cupcake because it was well earned.

Jill - Congratulations to Steve, the employee of the summer!!! I’m glad he was able to help out at my wedding. Otherwise Chris would have been wearing sunglasses in every picture. Hope you got a cupcake or 2, they were well earned.

Steph and Lou~ Sneak Peek Phase 1

I learned last night that screaming ” Oh My God! ” At the top of your lungs in the pitch dark on a country road is not a good idea. Steve thought I saw a moose or forgot my camera or Heaven knows what!! It was actually because I could not BELIEVE that I hadn’t thought of the perfect thing to put on y’alls ( heehee) oar! “to many more years of “Canoe-deling”!!:)  So guys, this is just sneak peek part one.

For those who are yet to be wed, this is how girls get ready!

This is how boys get ready!

This is how to look gorgeous!

I thought a little vintage weeping willow would be a nice nod to Lou’s Southern American heritage!!

Just a little tease for you!  Oh, that’s what she said haha!

St. Andrews by the Sea…of Love!~ Erica and Paul

Oh Paul, I can hear you gag and seeing you roll your eyes already. Sorry dude! I couldn’t resist. Erica and Paul had the most amazing seaside themed wedding at the best seaside venue ever, the Algonquin Resort.  Erica and Paul are two of my alltime faves. She is smart and witty and kind and wine and trays of cheese and crackers just seem to magically appear wherever she goes! Paul is genuine, honest and has a low tolerance for BS! My kind of guy. Oh, and he has a sassmouth that seems to run Astle-wide.:)I really did a bad job trying to pick my faves here. I’m convinced these guys are robots! No blinking, weird mouth gestures, nervous tics or the normal things that ruin tons of shots. Just natural beauty and Erica… those freckles!! To die for!! I’ve done more retouching on babies! There were so many great moments and loving gazes I just put in all my faves!

There were tons of amazing Vendors who made this day beautiful! Big shout out as usual to the Ladies of Live, Love, Laugh Event Planning for planning and Decor.May I highly recommend the Algonquin for your special day! The staff were amazing and the food was to die for!! Hey Erica, see what happens when you try to get past my husband with a tray of cupcakes. Nice try girl!! Thanks guys for having Steve and I at your day! We had a blast!!

Venue: Algonquin St. Andrews

Flowers: Garden by the Sea

Cupcakes: Bella Baked Goods

Band: Hawco ( they super rocked!!)
