Justina Johnson Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Southport, NC

Justina Johnson Photography is an international wedding photographer based in Wilmington, North Carolina. Owner Justina has years of experience and is dedicated to giving clients a fun, memorable time in front of the camera. Having grown up in Germany, she is multilingual and works to accommodate each soon-to-be-newlywed's unique needs and wants. Combining traditional and modern photography techniques, Justina creates enchanting collections that can be cherished for years to come.

We’ve been using Justina as our photographer since we got engaged. I knew she was featured at the best family photographer in Wilmington, and even before kids, I loved her style so much that I knew I just had to have her! She has been capturing moments for our family for the past 4 years, and I always recommend her to everyone I talk to (although hesitantly - sometimes I selfishly want to keep her all to myself). I couldn’t imagine a better photographer for our wedding. She accommodated every single request, knew what I needed before I even knew what I wanted, and sometimes has few a secret spots up her sleeve. She had a vision that exceeded my expectations, all while capturing all of my requests - every single time. I cherish all of the sweet moments she was able to capture, including the precious time with my mother getting dressed, the first look with my husband, the tears in my eyes as we read our vows, my bridesmaids bowing their heads during prayer, my uncle choking up as he expressed how words cannot describe how much we miss my father, the pure bliss displayed by my mother-in-law as she danced with my husband, not to mention all the surprises I didn’t notice until viewing the photos - our friends on the dance floor, the kids who made funny faces during dinner, the friends who passed out on chairs because they didn’t want to miss out on the fun. I could go on and on. These things don’t happen by accident, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

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.

I had the best experience with OLAS! From engagement photos to the wedding, Graham was our photographer and he was excellent! He is super quick and officiant. We wanted to make sure we would have ample time with our guests at our wedding and not waste too much time on photos and Graham made that happen. He was so quick it almost didn't seem like I was even ready for the photo to be taken, but sure enough when my sneak peaks came back, they were all breath taking and amazing, I can't even choose one. He knows what he is doing, the right lighting, the right camera settings, and captures the most special moments that we will forever cherish and relive through for the rest of our lives. The entire entourage, including the videographer was also so amazing, friendly, funny, and engaging. Thank you OLAS for capturing the best day of our lives!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can. Woman/LGBTQIA+ Owned

Having Mary as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first phone call to engagement photos to the day of she was so helpful, warm, and organized; she made getting the photos we wanted and being where we needed to be at the right time feel so easy and fun. And the photos speak for themselves; we absolutely love them!!

On top of that they were very adorable and always so easy to work with and understanding. I could honestly keep going on and on about how wonderful they are personality wise and work wise.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.
