EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Julien for our 20th anniversary pictures in Telluride, and he was absolutely incredible! He has such a great eye for capturing natural moments while also helping with just the right amount of direction so the photos look polished but not posed. The final photos exceeded our expectations—they’re vibrant and timeless. We couldn’t be happier and are so grateful to Julien for helping us celebrate our 20th year in such a special way. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer in Telluride or the surrounding area!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a wonderful experience! Julien is the most talented photographer. He was unbelievably flexible with our needing to change locations last minute. He made my daughter feel comfortable we got the most professional photographs. These look more like a magazine photo shoot than senior pics. You won’t be disappointed!!! Would 100% book again.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien not only captured our surprise engagement photos out near Telluride, he also traveled to Golden, CO to take our wedding photos as well. It was such a full circle experience. Julien is extremely responsive, professional and cheeky (which we loved on our wedding day). We are so excited to see the full album of pictures he captured from our wedding as well know his work is beyond extraordinary!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Julien was truly one of the highlights of our engagement. He helped make my plan absolutely perfect—from hiking with us to a secluded, private waterfall to spending over two hours capturing epic mountain views in Telluride. What stood out most was his genuine support and passion for making sure we loved every picture. He welcomed our ideas, guided us through different poses, and even showed us previews along the way to ensure we were happy with how everything was turning out. His creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail turned our vision into reality and gave us photos that we will treasure forever. If you’re looking for someone who not only takes incredible photos but also makes the entire experience comfortable, fun, and memorable, Julien Kibler is the one to book! We couldn’t recommend him enough!! We plan on booking him for all our upcoming future photo sessions!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My fiancé and I can not express out gratitude and happiness we experienced during our special engagement proposal along with an afternoon engagement session. Every moment of this surprise engagement was captured. Perfection perfection perfection I wouldn’t have changed a thing! Julien can do it all! Julien’s patience, expertise, wardrobe color advice, and couple positioning for that perfect photo was on point. Julien also has an off-roading vehicle which allowed for us to go to the perfect mountainous spot for our photos. Any photo style you are looking for Julien is your person. TRUST ME I would say I am a lot to handle (future bridezilla) and I will be using Julien for all mine and my fiancé future pictures as the match up us and photographer couldn’t have been better. My fiancé hates photos but Julien made the session a breeze for him and his suggestions on positioning were spot on. Julien also does videos as well, and I can’t wait to experience that session #futurewedding #weddingvideographyPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien was absolutely amazing from start to finish! We contacted him and told him we wanted an adventure to a top of a mountain for our engagement pictures and he more than delivered. From the first conversation we knew it would be perfect! He is so passionate and loves what he does which you can see from the pictures. We spent hours getting to know Julien on our hike and genuinely felt like we were hanging out with a good friend. Not only is he incredibly talented, he is so fun, flexible, easy going with a clear vision! We were raving about Julien before we even saw the pictures. And WOW did the pictures turn out AMAZING!! WOW all around - we could not recommend him enough.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien was absolutely amazing to work with! From choosing our location to the final execution of our elopement, it was a dream. We couldn’t have asked for a more intimate and tailored experience! We can’t wait to visit again and have him take our anniversary pictures next year.🤍Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien was wonderful as our elopement photographer! He was always quick to respond to my million questions and location ideas in the months leading up to our arrival in CO. I was confident he’d choose the best area for our photos and blown away when we saw them in person, as well as when we saw our photos! I highly recommend Julien Kibler Studio for all your photography needs.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Seriously incredible experience.

FAQ.
My photography style is bold, vibrant, and timeless. It is not overly posed as I am always making sure I capture not only posed photos but also candid moments.
I am meticulous in my work, ensuring that your photos are enhanced to their fullest aesthetic potential. Whether it’s addressing stains, editing out imperfections such as frizzy hair, or eliminating any elements that are not permanent and should not be present in the picture, I am dedicated to delivering a flawless final result.
Absolutely I do! I always offer a flexible payment plan especially for weddings.
For timely scheduling, I recommend booking as soon as possible. Specifically, for weddings, I advise securing a date at least 6 months in advance. For senior sessions, scheduling can be a bit more flexible, particularly if weekdays are convenient for you. It’s important to note that dates are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so prompt booking is advisable to secure your preferred slot.
All over Western Colorado for engagements & senior portraits, and all over the state + Moab for weddings!
