Julia Garcia-Prat: Crafting Emotional and Nostalgic Wedding Photography

Introducing Julia Garcia-Prat, a France-born photographer residing in Quebec, Canada. Despite her deep-seated roots in marketing and an impressive MBA, Julia switched lanes in 2016 to pursue her passion for photography. Two years later, armed with a diploma, an award, and an irrepressible love for capturing intimate moments, Julia launched her wedding photography journey and has never looked back.

A Deep Dive Into Her Journey

Since 2022, Julia has fully embraced her calling as a wedding photographer, bringing a unique blend of laid-back luxury to her work, largely influenced by her travels around the world.

How would you describe your photography style?

"I am a documentary wedding photographer, with an editorial aesthetic and a cinematic feel. I really live for emotional and nostalgic images, and you will probably see a lot of Black & white, movement, and deep emotion in my art."

The Equipment and Post-Processing

Julia uses a range of Nikon equipment, predominantly mirrorless for capturing those beautiful night reception romantic imagery. Moreover, she appreciates the unique aura film photography brings and incorporates old film cameras, particularly 35mm, into her workflow.

Post-processing for Julia is an avenue to accentuate the soft, poetic, vintage aesthetics inherent in her work, akin to analog film photography. A fan of the emotional depth black & white photos offer, she delivers many monochrome images in her client galleries.

What Fuels Her Passion?

What do you enjoy most about being a photographer?

"The fact that I build a visual legacy that will outlast us all is, in all honesty, one of the most satisfying things in the world. I have a specific thing for grandparents, that I love so much.

Working with Clients

Julia's approach is intentional and style-centric, not only capturing authentic moments but also creating timeless portraiture that celebrates the couple's individuality.

How do you approach working with clients to achieve their desired outcome?
