A Romantic, Editorial-Inspired Website for a Wedding Photographer
Juicebeats Photography needed a portfolio-forward website that was just as cinematic as their work. From the first image, the site makes it clear that this is about story and connection. It’s a romantic, heirloom work that visitors will return to.
First Impression
The homepage opens with a full-bleed image from their portfolio. That decision to let the visuals speak first sets the mood for everything that follows. Throughout the rest of the homepage, large photographs continue to anchor the site, with text layered sparingly in curated sections. Each one is selected for color, movement, and mood, not just variety.
Tactile, Curated Feel
The site introduces a scrapbook-inspired layout in key sections. This approach allows images to be shown in varied scales and alignments, mimicking the feel of a physical album. It evokes tangibility, as though you’re flipping through a beautifully curated collection of moments, not browsing a gallery on a screen.
This layout reinforces the couple-forward, memory-rich tone of the site. It invites exploration and encourages the viewer to spend time, rather than skim. The result is an experience that feels both editorial and deeply personal, exactly the tone Juicebeats aims for in their work.
Colors & Fonts
The entire site is wrapped in a palette of dusty blue and cream, colors pulled directly from the brand’s logo and the tones that regularly appear in their imagery. It feels calming but romantic, elegant but grounded.
A custom script for oversized page titles introduces each section with warmth and a slightly romantic tone, setting the stage for an elevated experience. A clean, modern serif is used for subheadings, lending structure and a touch of classic formality. For paragraph text, a lightweight sans serif keeps things grounded and readable, offering a quiet balance to the more expressive heading styles.
★★★★★
“I wanted to simplify my old website and make it less cluttered. Sara was able to take my vision and bring it to life. She made my site look modern, sleek, and elegant. It is now easier to navigate and optimized for future clients. She also thoroughly explained the backend structure and how to make any changes in the future. Loving the new design!”
