Hey there! I’m Kelsey, a wedding, engagement, and couples photographer based out of upstate New York. I live in Sidney, NY with my husband and our five cats (we love all the animals.) When I'm not behind the camera, I love cooking, calligraphy, graphic design, and traveling.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first meeting, Kelsey made us feel comfortable and understood our vision perfectly. She helped us with our engagement photos, creating the day of timeline, and helped the wedding day stay on time and be organized! The attention to detail was incredible – from candid shots of our guests enjoying themselves to beautiful portraits that truly captured the essence of our love story. The final gallery exceeded our expectations; every photo was a work of art! Kelsey managed to capture the joy and emotion of the day, not a single detail was missed and our gallery allows us to relieve the entire day! If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, dedicated, and has a genuine passion for their craft, look no further! We can't thank Kelsey enough for the beautiful memories she’s given us. Highly recommend!

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!!

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.

Hello, I'm Kayla! Voted most likely to succeed in the field of agriculture. Yet somehow, landed here. And I wouldn't change a single thing. Life has taken me on some crazy adventures and up until 6 years ago, none of those pointed to being a photographer. Becoming a mom led me to pick up a camera and since then I haven't put it back down. I quickly developed a passion for telling people's stories. Capturing the most intimate, heartfelt moments truly sets my soul on fire.

Kayla French Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Kayla provided great communication everything leading up to the wedding and after, and the day of she couldn't have been more helpful. Kayla's work is absolutely amazing - you can tell she loves what she does and it really shows in the beautiful photos she captured. Kayla helped in every way to contribute to our special day, and our guests really enjoyed her presence and positive energy. We are thrilled with the sneak peaks and can not wait to see final photos. We would highly recommend Kayla French Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

  • Serves Newark Valley, NY

As a documentary-style wedding photographer, I help couples tell their honest and joyful stories. And honestly, you don’t need someone directing you– you’re more beautiful when you’re just being you. I firmly believe you should spend your wedding day focused on yourself, your partner, and your celebration– not the camera.

I can’t say enough good things about Allison!! She photographed our tiny 12-person pandemic wedding and was the only vendor we had for the day. She was beyond professional, so easy to work with, and really helped make our day feel special. She had great ideas about setting up our ceremony that we would have never thought of on our own (like where exactly to stand for vows, etc.). She made us all feel super comfortable in front of the camera and our families loved having her around. Best of all - the photos. Wow. Everyone who sees them says they can just feel the love radiating out of them. What a special memento of our wedding day. She captured the feeling of the day perfectly, and balanced a documentary style (non-invasively capturing sweet moments as they happened) plus really nice staged family pics that our moms loved and have already made the holiday cards! I can’t recommend Allison highly enough.

My fiance' and I committed to Dutch Harvest Farm when it was nothing but a drawing on a page and acres of land covered by trees and tall grass. Many people thought we were crazy for signing a contract without seeing the finished product, but they hadn't met Laura. Laura is communicative, excited, caring and thoughtful. Our experience with her thus far has been nothing but positive, and that is difficult to say when you had to cancel your initial wedding due to COVID-19. She has helped us navigate the complex situation and continues to keep us informed even throughout the madness. Although we have not had our wedding just yet, we are ecstatic for our day at DHF and can't wait to share the venue we have seen come to fruition with as many friends and family as we can!

I will never have the words to accurately describe what our wedding weekend at Gilbertsville was like. To say it was a dream would be an understatement. First things first, we booked this place in the dead of winter - like actual snow on the ground - because even without knowing what it looks like in season we knew it was unreal. From then on, the process leading up to our wedding was nothing short of pleasant and exciting. The team - Sharon and Gina - are extremely responsive and never make you feel like your questions are too small or trivial, they understand how important the day is to you and are in the process with you. Our tasting with Shane and his team was just another incredible day that solidified we made the right choice. I've been to plenty of weddings but Gilbertsville's food is so spectacular and nowhere near just the typical churned out wedding chicken and steak. Then our wedding weekend came and we never wanted it to end. The property itself it's just so incredible, even the adults were reverting to childhood when they saw all the animals and the glamping tents. Katie and George took such good care of us throughout the weekend and were always positive, happy, helpful and matched our vibe of just being in a good mood. I truly don't have enough good things to say about this place as a wedding, or the people who work here. HUGE shoutout to Gina, Sharon, Katie, George, Shane and everyone else who gave us a memory we'll never forget. HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE

I'm a wedding & lifestyle photographer currently living in upstate New York and serving the greater tri-state area. I love photographing special moments between people and exploring new places, it's that simple. I'm also a huge yarn nerd, iced coffee addict and a lover of all things the color red. Let's connect - I'd love to hear from you!

Look no further! Claire is, by far, the most professional and reasonably priced wedding photographer in the Tristate Area. She was recommended to me by a very close friend who is also a wedding photographer. Claire started out as her assistant, but assistant she is no more! She is great at what she does and is extremely personable. We met for a drink and within 1min I knew she was who we would go with. She is calm, organized, friendly and good at her job! What more could you ask for? Besides our wedding coordinator, Claire was the one who made our wedding happen. Her timelines and schedule helped the day move along smoothly, she made sure we took great sunset beach pictures and (thankfully) convinced me to do a first look so we didn't completely miss our cocktail hour. We had 260 guests, most of them being family members, which would not be an easy task for anyone. Claire was professional and helpful and somehow it all worked out perfectly. The turnaround was very quick; we were able to make Christmas cards out of pictures she took less than 2 months before. We are still using her website to order prints (which come out beautifully btw) and will continue to do so! We are so thankful that this part of our wedding turned out as amazing as it did. Photos can make or break a day, and ours was a homerun!

He helped map out the day, share the plan with our vendors and execute it. He even went above and beyond with some of our requests like making a custom mash up song for us. The day wouldn’t have been the same without him and our guests couldn’t say enough good things about the music!

I was so overwhelmed and stressed in the final months leading up to our wedding. After our initial consultation with Kayla, I felt like I could finally breathe. She just "got" me, and knew exactly what was on my mind before I even said it. I felt so reassured knowing that she was helping to track the millions of little details for our big day. From calls leading up to our wedding, to site visits and in-person meetings, I left each time a little lighter knowing that she had our back. I can't even begin to thank her for how above and beyond she went on our wedding weekend. I know there were a million fires she put out that I thankfully never even knew about. That's what working with Kayla meant for us - peace of mind and the ability to REALLY be present and take in our wedding day. It was truly worth it to work with such a professional and I wish I could go back in time and have hired her sooner!

We listen to you and use imaginative methods to make your dream celebration come to life! Whether you’re having a small, intimate gathering or the biggest party you can imagine, we’ll make sure that your wedding is one to be remembered forever!

I would recommend Scott and Sound Selection 100x over! Working with them was incredibly seamless. I never felt like I had to worry during the planning stages since Scott kept us on track leading up to our wedding. My husband and I were initially concerned about the length of our first dance song, but Scott edited it so it was the perfect length but didn’t sound edited or awkward. Most importantly, Scott kept the energy high and the dance floor was absolutely packed the entire night! We love how he perfectly balanced DJ and announcing responsibilities by interacting with our crowd without being overbearing. We had multiple guests compliment our DJ. Do yourselves a favor and book Sound Selection for your wedding!

Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel

Watkins Glen, NY
  • Venue
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive

Imagine yourself celebrating with family & friends at one of the most picturesque locations in the Finger Lakes, where exquisite catering and meticulous service combine to create magical, memorable events. Host an intimately-scaled outdoor wedding on our lushly landscaped waterfront patio with the sun setting over Seneca Lake as your backdrop. Or celebrate in sophisticated style in our elegant Harbor Ballroom. Our professional wedding consultant will make sure that no detail is overlooked and will advise on the array of delicious dining options, from plated sit-down dinners to elaborate buffets. A professional wedding consultant guides the process every step of the way, from choosing the perfect blooms to selecting from various priced menu options. The hotels' expansive landscaped waterfront grounds and elegant interiors lend themselves to on-site ceremonies and extended celebrations making for true destination weddings.

Aside from the beauty of the lake and the hotel, this place did it all for us. Any extra things we wanted for the wedding or reception just needed to be dropped off and the event coordinators took care of the rest. The coordinator we met with was great with communication through email. We really enjoyed our dinner tasting - the food was amazing! The coordinators made the day run so smoothly. The room for the cocktail hour was set up wonderfully. Table settings are included with the package and the candles looked perfect. We felt secure in knowing we could easily move the ceremony inside with any weather concerns. The landscaping/greenery is so well taken care of, it looked fantastic for our ceremony outside on the patio. The hotel staff set up, serve, and clean up - it made for a very relaxing weekend. Our hotel room was incredible also. The hotel was generous with leaving little surprises and gifts for us when we arrived to our room. It was all worth the price.

Ba-Li Cravings Catering

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $37 per person
  • Serves Newark Valley, NY

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!!

Jen Pecka Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Newark Valley, NY

When I'm not behind the camera I'm hiking, fly fishing and doing yoga. I'll use any excuse to head north to the Adirondacks. (Eagle Bay donuts is my favorite incentive for a day trip.) I'm on my way to becoming a licensed yoga instructor. I'm obsessed with how my hair smells after a day in the woods. If you can relate, we'll probably be best friends. I live with my amazing fiancé, Alex, and we have two kids who are way cooler than we are. We also have FIVE cats and two dogs. I'm always down for a coffee date if you want to chat wedding details or hiking trails. I always want your dog to come to your engagement sessions.

Booking Jen Pecka Photography for our wedding was one of the easiest and definitely one of the best decisions we made for our January wedding! From the moment we met, Jen made us feel super comfortable and confident in front of her camera. She shot both our engagement session as well as our big day and all of the photos came out absolutely GORGEOUS!!! She captured every single detail of our wedding beautifully. As we looked through our wedding photos for the first time, we were able to relive the best day of our lives. Jen not only captures special moments, but the genuine emotions of those being photographed. All of our photos are STUNNING, I am having a very difficult time choosing favorites to print and hang in our home. Trust Jen Pecka Photography to capture your wedding day, you will not regret it!
