Behind The Lens

julie anne morgan

I'm Julie, a Seattle wedding photographer and filmmaker and owner of sound & sea photography + films. i am a nostalgia collector, using photo + video to preserve the stories and emotions of life’s most significant moments.

i am a full time wedding professional and photograph weddings across seattle and throughout washington state, from downtown venues and waterfront celebrations to mountain weddings and intimate elopements. wedding days move fast and the best moments usually happen in between the plans, which is exactly what i’m there to capture.

on a wedding day i’m not just showing up with cameras. i’m keeping an eye on the timeline, wrangling family members, calming nerves, and making people laugh when things start to feel intense. somewhere in the middle of all that, i’m documenting the real story of the day as it unfolds.

i also have an incredible team of photographers and videographers who work with me, so couples get the same energy, experience, and attention to the moments that matter most.

based in seattle and photographing weddings and elopements throughout washington and the pacific northwest.
