The Lovely Lens 

5.0

Ithaca, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,400

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

We are absolutely thrilled with our engagement photos, all thanks to Julia! From the moment we first connected, she took the time to really understand who we are as a couple and what mattered most to us. She didn’t just show up with a camera—she showed up with intention, creativity, and a genuine desire to make the experience personal and meaningful. Julia tailored everything to our preferences—from the location to the vibe we were going for—and she made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire shoot. It felt more like a fun adventure than a photo session, and the result was a collection of images that truly reflect us. Every photo feels natural, romantic, and full of joy. We’re beyond grateful for Julia’s talent, warmth, and the effort she put into making this such a memorable experience.

Ithaca, NY

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

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.

We had such a great experience working with Allison from start to finish. She was extremely communicative and easy to work with both in the planning stages and the day of our wedding. She got amazing pictures without ever being in the way. We LOVED our photos and the wedding photo album she helped us design. We felt so lucky to have found her - HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!

Thank you for visiting my page! I hope you'll consider this a virtual, and excellent, handshake. I have been photographing odds & ends since I was just a little kiddo, and professionally for more than 20 years, and I can say with complete certainty that I LOVE what I do. 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.

Sara Tro Photography is an absolute delight to work with! I own a venue and after seeing photos of Sara's past work, I added her to my preferred vendor list.

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!!

David was wonderful and easy to work with for our wedding. He was well acquainted with our venue, which was a relief as we knew that he would be able to take care of our microphone needs and offer advice as we planned the timing of our ceremony. He cheerfully accommodated our song requests and our guests shared that his prelude music was lovely and set a perfect tone for our day. We would recommend him to anyone wishing for classical or acoustic guitar music at their ceremony.

Osmica is a dream! Allie and Kurt are gems and helped make our wedding so very special. From the beautiful property to the fun yard games, gorgeous renovated barn and hayloft to the lovely overnight we spent at the B&B, it was an occasion we'll never forget. The space is flexible to have a ceremony indoors or out, space for live music, ample dance floor real estate, and the loft can be set up in different configurations for whatever suits the event. Allie used flowers from the property to adorn the tables while Kurt managed catering deliveries, and they were amazing with set-up, tear-down, welcoming guests, and so much more. Allie communicated with us clearly about making sure we had the proper paperwork filed for having beer and wine on-site, and details for making things run smoothly on the day-of. We booked a night at the B&B which was so fabulous - they've renovated the farm house with such charm and character, many things being up-cycled - and breakfast we had the next morning (with ingredients from the farm!) was scrumptious. We highly recommend Osmica for your wedding, or any special event!

My husband and I booked Blacktie Brothers as our videographer for our wedding in October 2023, and we could not have been more pleased. Mitchell, myself, and both of our families were SO impressed by your team at our wedding. On the day of our wedding, there were quite a few challenges to making the day go as smoothly as I had hoped, mainly the rain caused us to have to move our ceremony inside. The wedding coordinator associated with the venue did not follow up on a few of the tasks she had agreed to doing, namely being present during the photo session to make sure I was comfortable and hydrated. The entire media team at Blacktie Brothers stepped in and handled it so professionally, even getting me water when I felt faint from all of the commotion. Our day wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it had without the help Blacktie Brothers gave us. We opted for the raw footage package, so we received an edited movie of our wedding as well as all the raw footage of our day on a thumb drive. The movie they made is amazing. The song they chose for the ceremony portion of the movie was a special choice— the lyrics reflected some aspects of our story as a couple. It was so thoughtfully crafted and makes me cry whenever I see it! The team was responsive and professional throughout the entire wedding planning process. Any question or concern we had was met with a genuine, timely response. The movie and the raw footage is now something we can have and share for the rest of our lives, and they so beautifully preserved the memory of our day. I have already recommended them to some friend getting married in upstate NY next year. Blacktie Brothers goes above and beyond, and was hands down one of our best vendors.

Capturing the most intimate, heartfelt moments truly sets my soul on fire.

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.

Wedding, couples and boudoir photographer based in Owego, NY. I do both outdoor session and studio sessions. Some fun facts about me: #boymom, book worm, gear head, horror fanatic, iced coffee is life.

I had the pleasure of working with Morgan at a styled photo shoot I planned. Morgan was professional, easy to work with, and fun to be around. She worked well with the other photographers and gave clear directions to the couple being photographed. She was quick to edit photos and get them back to me. Even though it was a staged shoot, none of the photos of the couple look “staged.” I absolutely love her editing style, and her photos from the shoot are some of my favorites from the whole day. I use her photos frequently in social media posts, printed marketing materials and advertisements. I’m looking forward to having Morgan take some branding photos for me and my business coming up this spring. I’ve added her to my preferred vendor list for a reason. You definitely want Morgan to capture your day!

This luxury boutique hotel overlooks Cayuga Lake and is just 9 miles from Ithaca, New York, in the heart of the Finger Lakes Wine Trail. The estate combines modern accommodations, private guest houses, and a majestic Victorian Inn next to one of the tallest waterfalls in the country. The Inn at Taughannock has three on-site wedding venues, including a new one-acre wedding garden. The wedding garden, named "Enchantment", has a 100' x 60' translucent sailcloth tent, a 42' alabaster bar, and a dry-stack stone fire place that it took four masons one year to build. In addition to these marvelous features there are also three fire-pits on site, one of which is cantilevered and hangs above the outer wall over looking Cayuga Lake.

If you're considering planning your wedding at the Inn at Taughannock Falls, do it - this place is pure magic. I am wholeheartedly convinced that there is no venue that compares to the Enchantment garden or offers the wedding planning experience that you get at the Inn. The planners are top-notch, incredibly personable, thoughtful, detail-oriented and help bring your dream wedding to life. At the Inn, customization is limitless - a blank canvas (well, if you consider a blank canvas to be gorgeous gardens, sprawling staircase, and stunning tent) awaits. We worked with Tania-lynn who was an absolute rockstar and made our wildest dreams come to life. Every 'I" was dotted and every "T" was crossed. We didn't have a worry in the world when we walked onto the grounds on our wedding day. I can't speak more highly about the experience, staff, accommodations, and wedding day (and I've been dreaming about this day since I was a little girl!). What an honor it was to have our wedding at the Inn at Taughannock Falls. Thank you to the amazing planners and staff that made our wedding day the best day of our lives.
