The Lovely Lens 

5.0

Ithaca, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,300

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

Most wedding photography feels overly curated and predictable. I’ve seen the same 20 poses across different photographers, with prices all over the place. But let me tell you about Celia. We hired her for our engagement and wedding photos, and she was nothing short of amazing. From the start, Celia was incredibly responsive, offered great direction, and truly captured the youthful energy of my wife and me. If you’re searching for a photographer who not only documents the curated moments but also the spontaneous, unfiltered ones—while making every shot feel like a mix of Vogue, paparazzi, and playful fun—Celia is your person. I also want to highlight her incredible skill in photographing and editing people with melanin. It’s not something every photographer gets right. IYKYK. Celia’s work is never boring, never one-note. She brought our special day to life in a way we’ll cherish forever.

Hello, my name is Julia, I am a wedding photographer with more than 8 years of experience in wedding photography. I appreciate being able to preserve a love that will grow over the years. I will be happy to capture a special moment on your special day. With pleasure and enthusiasm, I am always ready for new adventures & challenges.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julia is truly the BEST photographer out there and she makes everyone look SO GOOD!! We booked her for both our engagement session and our wedding because we loved her so much! She is so skillful at finding beautiful angles and working with natural lighting, and she was great at directing us with suggested poses that didn’t look forced or unnatural. She was also really easy to work with: we met up beforehand to communicate our vision and discuss the kinds of photographs that we wanted for the engagement session and we did that again for our wedding. On our wedding day Julia brought her husband Leo who is also a photographer to assist her and they came early in the morning to begin taking scenery photos, details, and other things while the rest of us got ready. She was there with us throughout the entire day all the way til the end of the evening and she went out with us to take some sunset photos in the middle of the reception, which turned out so beautifully! Finally, Julia was super prompt at sending us the final photographs, which I know she worked hard on because there were A LOT! We can tell that Julia truly enjoys what she does and really wants to get the best photos possible so she always goes above and beyond. I think the phenomenal photos that we’re sharing here can speak for themselves. She was such a joy to work with and we can’t wait to find some other excuse to hire her again!!

Ba-Li Cravings Catering 

5.0

Ithaca, NY
  • Caterer
  • Starts at $37 per person

Tal Cohen started her catering business, Ba-Li Cravings in 2014. But her love and passion for baking started when she was as young as 5. Tal would find herself exploring in the kitchen and baking on her own as a young child, and later volunteered to make all of the food and desserts for family gatherings. Tal always cooked and baked and found inspiration in the kitchen. She fell in love with the art of baking, cooking and crafting a different meal experience altogether. in 2015 Tal build her own com mercial kitchen, painted blue, and ever since that is where she can be found.

Tal is an angel and we adored working with her. She was so quick to answer any questions we had, even if that meant picking up the phone when we decided to call on a random Tuesday! Working with her was a breeze, but the food. Her freaking food!!! We are still getting comments about how delicious everything was, over a month later. Tal made sure to take care of my partner and I during the reception so we were able to eat, and we’ve heard so many couples say they missed their own food on their wedding day! She even packaged up to-to containers of everything for us to enjoy the next day. Tal helped us book our rentals too, so we had one less vendor to coordinate. I’m already trying to come up with ways to work with her again in the future. Thank you again, Tal!!

Thank you for visiting my page! I hope you'll consider this a virtual, and excellent, handshake.

Here are some other little factoids about me, if you're interested in getting to know me better: *I love animals and love working with them, and often donate services to great animal welfare causes. *I love all things vintage and antique, and feel that older things tell a fascinating and unique story.

We LOVE our wedding photos from Sara! I not only had Sara take the photos at my own wedding, but as a wedding planner, I highly recommend Sara to the couples I work with - she is absolutely lovely to work with, and takes truly amazing photos.

We are so grateful for the beautiful wedding that Allie and Kurt helped us to plan and host at Osmica at Spring Trail Farm! Throughout the planning process, Allie was incredibly communicative, organized, and attentive to our vision. She is extremely creative and helped us to bring all of our ideas to life! Allie also has many relationships and experience with local vendors, and was able to make recommendations and introductions to folks. Allie also helpfully reminded us about key tasks over time to keep us on track, which we greatly appreciated! The venue itself is incredibly beautiful – there are walking paths through wildflowers, an impressive garden that supplied our floral arrangements and a lovely breakfast on our wedding day (both of which Allie and Kurt made for us), a beautiful farmhouse where we stayed the nights before and after and got ready in (which made logistics much easier), and scenic views. We couldn’t have asked for more. We’re even grateful to have been rained out of the outdoor ceremony that we planned – the hayloft is gorgeous and made for a dramatic backdrop. We would get married at Osmica and hire Allie again in a heartbeat. We can’t wait to visit again in the years to come :) Huge thanks to Kelsey Travis for these photos: https://www.facebook.com/kelseytravisphoto/ https://www.instagram.com/kelseytravisphoto/

Danielle was actually recommended to us by a few people we know and she was also very highly rated online. She was everything and more then we could have asked for truly. My wedding party was not the best at listening and she was so very patient with them and me having to scream multiple times to get everyone's attention. She was such a pleasure to have at our wedding and our pictures turned out better then I could have ever imagined. Danielle has done other photography for me since my wedding. I plan to use her for all my and my families photography in the future. She has also become a wonderful friend. I highly highly recommend Danielle. I would pick her 10000 times over again!

From the moment we first spoke with John at the John Joseph Inn, my husband and I felt incredibly cared for and supported. This was the first and only venue we visited when we first started planning and we knew right away this would be the place for our wedding day. John's thoughtful and flexible communication style put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The stunning grounds and elegant venue felt like something out of a movie - the perfect backdrop for our special day. John and his team went the extra mile to incorporate every detail that was important to us, including working with us to build a custom menu that featured chicken from our family farm and custom desserts inspired by our mothers' recipes. The ability to have welcome cocktails and a day-after brunch all on the property allowed our guests, some of whom traveled a great distance, to spend more quality time celebrating with us. We also had plenty of kids attend, and they were having the time of their lives playing in the orchard throughout the wedding weekend. We are so grateful to the John Joseph Inn for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.
