Jules and Conrad Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Cornelius, 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!

Hey there- I'm Joanna, but feel free to call me Jo! My world has always been filled with photography- through all the years and different cameras, it's always been my biggest passion and love. I am a travel enthusiast and I will always be down to hike up a mountain or explore a new city. My favorite meals are anything that include coffee or sushi and I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as "too much chocolate." Most importantly, I am a lover of all love and will never get tired of documenting it.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I decided to elope to NYC from Scotland in 2022. Jo linked us to her Instagram profile following a post on a Facebook group and we instantly fell in love with her whole vibe. Her work stunning. We set up a video call to discuss what we wanted from the photos from our special day - Jo just got it and got us almost instantly. She knew NYC and where to get our pictures done but also allowed us to collaborate and explore on the day. Jo is passionate about her profession and passionate about giving you the best possible experience, flowing with love and positivity throughout. It’s super relaxed and fun. I wish she lived closer - she would absolutely be our go to for all our big life events! We wish we had been able to get Jo to do some of her film shots as well as they are absolutely STUNNING! She was able to get our sneak peak pictures to us quickly and wanted to absolutely nail it for the rest of the gallery and boy did she nail it. We genuinely could not imagine our wedding day without her capturing it for us 3

Lee and his team are an absolute blessing to have on your wedding day. I found them through the Knot.com. I instatntly fell in love with his style of photography. Not only that but when we were first looking for photographers Lee called me and we spike for an hour and a half about expectations and whay kind of wedding etc. No other photographer i looked at did this, I really appreciated the time he took out of his day to spend talking to us. Fast forward to wedding day Lee and his team made us super comfortable and helped to make our wedding magical. Lee is so easy to work with and definitely knows how to get shy couples out of their comfort zone. Lee not only helped capture our wedding but also us as a couple with an engagement shoot as well. I have never felt so comfortable around a photographer before. Not only is he amazing to work with but his work is equally as amazing. I absolutely love every single one of my pictures and cannot pick a favorite. Not only are the pictures amazing we got our sneak peeks back the same day! It wasn't just 1 or 2 pictures either it was an entire album. That was an absolutely amazing surprise to wake up to the next morning. I would recommend Alchemist Weddings for any event you may have! We will definitely be using him for photos in the future. Much thanks and gratitude, Claire and Bobby Olsen

Awarded Best of Zola
Erika has such a fun-loving and sweet personality, that it would have been hard *not* to turn into friends! I've been lucky enough to see Erika's work first-hand as both a bride AND as a photographer who's worked with her! For my own wedding - even despite flying from out of state for our event, Erika was fresh-faced and good-humored, and did an excellent job at making us feel seen, loved, and at home in front of the camera. Since the wedding, she's also done a few portrait sessions for me and my husband (including a destination session for our 5 year anniversary)! As a photographer - I've both worked for Erika, and have hired her to work with me. She literally did such an amazing job at my own wedding that I now seek out her assistance whenever I need another photographer to come along on a destination wedding. TLDR; trust a photographer that other photographers hire. :)

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jonathan. We found Jonathan through a friend, and he shot both our engagement photos and our wedding! Throughout the entire process, Jonathan wasn't just our photographer -- we really felt like he has become a dear friend to us. When we wanted to film our ceremony at the last minute due to family who weren't able to travel, Jonathan and Candice said, "No problem!" and filmed our ceremony, and got us the video within a week of the wedding, too, so our grandmas can watch. We will always treasure that he did that for us. Jonathan is incredibly talented and takes beautiful candid photos as well as the perfect posed photos we needed with our family. He is incredibly prompt in responding to questions, and delivers photos at an incredible speed too! We were able to view so many wonderful photos just 2 days after our wedding, and it's just the previews! And hey, if you are throwing a PARTY, Jonathan's dance floor photos cannot be beat. TL;DR: He is a gift to wedding photographers everywhere, we love Jonathan.

Pretty much a professional sucker for love. Charlotte, NC Wedding Photographer & Content Creator. Mix of digital and film. My style is evocative, photojournalistic, a dash of editorial. I'm here as your wedding bestie to tell your story photographically, in the most authentic way, with a pinch of curated chaos.

Yazmin was quite possibly the best part of my wedding day, besides getting married of course. Communication beforehand felt like I was talking to a friend, meeting her was like being around someone I’ve known for years, and having her take photographs throughout our elopement was so much fun. She saw my vision for what I wanted out of our elopement pictures and made them even better than I could have imagined. She is worth every penny AND MORE. I will 100% recommend Yaz to anyone and everyone and will use her in the future. I actually already added on a session for our post elopement party if that tells you how amazing she is!

I'm a photographer that was born and raised in LA culture and it definitely allowed me to appreciate all the ART in everyday life. I am new to North Carolina and am so excited to see the ART that I can create in this beautiful state.

My Engagement Photo shoot Review: Flexible to my time schedule and understanding when I had to change engagements photoshoot day. Great quality service; kind and understanding. Worked well and very comfortable with. Super professional on time and prompt. And quality of images amazing. Did just what I wanted, love this photographer. Would recommend her to all who need a photographer. My Wedding Photo Shoot Review: I don't even know where to begin. Monique was one of the best investments of our wedding. After an amazing engagement shoot with Monique the wedding was a breeze. She really makes you feel so at home and comfortable and it truly makes a difference in your photos. She's personable, honest, and has such a distinct and gorgeous photography style. She was easy to work with and went above and beyond her duties; was with us from beginning to end. On the day of our wedding Monique was punctual and worked her tail off. She was there in the morning as I, the bride got ready and stayed until the reception ended, which means she captured every moment. Our photos are so special and we have one of kind shots to remember our perfect day and we have Monique to thank! Everyone cannot get over the pictures, they all say “the photos are so beautiful and vibrant!” I keep getting compliments on them which make me smile so big and make me feel so proud. We thank you forever for capturing our day in such a way that no one else could have. I highly recommend hiring Monique for any engagement and can guarantee she will impress. You must take a look at her site- her works speaks for itself!
