Jules and Conrad Photography

  • Serves Cooleemee, NC

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

Simply Amazing! We had our engagement shoot at the Biltmore estate and it was nothing short of magical. Julie was able to capture exactly what I wanted the pictures to look like. She is a joy to work with and helped us feel relaxed and at ease. I can’t stop looking at my pictures and everyone that lays eyes on them is OBSESSED! They take your pictures and capture who you are but also make it look like a beautiful piece of art. I simply cannot say enough good things!

Hi, my name is Maria Davis! I am a documentary style photographer capturing love stories on both film and digital. I am a homegrown and local Winston-Salem, NC girl with a second location in Boston, MA. This combination of locations allows me to easily serve all up and down the upper east coast, but I am always ready to hop on a flight(: Visit my website to see a little more about me, my work, and how I can help you make your wedding day visions real!

Maria was the best photographer for our wedding! We chose her for her bright and vibrant style of photos and we couldn’t be more happy with our decision. My husband and I are not big picture takers and are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but Maria was the best person to walk us through the steps. We first met her for our engagement photos and she made the process so much fun. We all laughed so much and it made my husband and I that much more excited for our wedding! On the day of our wedding, Maria was energetic and welcoming to everyone. She gave clear directions and made sure everyone was comfortable. She sent us the perfect sneak peak photos as well. We got a few couple, bridal party, and detail pictures. I love how we got a sneak peak of the whole day and we cannot wait to the rest!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with throughout the wedding process. Their quick and efficient communication gave me the peace of mind I needed when it came to wedding photos. I had a very specific vision for our imagery, and OLAS and our photographer were more than accommodating as I neurotically guided some photos. Our photographer came equipped with a great attitude and even better skills in capturing our day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience.

Well crafted and timeless. Intimate and irresistibly fun.

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Adrian is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you're a couple that is awkward in front of a camera! We hired her for our wedding in Asheville, and she came to us in Raleigh for our engagement session. She made us feel really comfortable and didn't try to make us do any "unnatural" poses; over the engagement session, she found what worked for us, and brought out more of that! She was also very patient with our dog who did not want to cooperate at all, and still managed to get some great action shots of him! The day of our wedding, it poured! She was such a trooper about quickly moving outside when the sun poked out, and back in when the skies opened up. And when everyone hit the dance floor, she got the best personality pics of our loved ones. She was so patient with us, and everything we needed as two individuals who originally did not feel comfortable in front of the camera!

Hey Friends. My Name is Kelly and I'm a wedding and elopement photographer in the Charlotte NC area. I've been a professional photographer for 9+ years. Growing up, I always had a disposable camera in my hand. Looking back I'm thankful for all the candid moments I captured. I still feel that same kind of wonder as I did as a kid any time I get to see photos i've captured for the first time. I have a love for all things nostalgic - which is why I LOVE capturing love on film.

Kelly was amazing! She made us feel super comfortable, especially since this was the first time we had ever done a photography shoot before. Kelly assisted with picking the perfect place, played music during, and helped with different poses! Highly recommend!

So, if you are also looking for video, look no further!

My wife and I were thrilled with the services provided by HEARTS in FOCUS for our wedding photography.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.
