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.

Celia's laid-back and friendly approach put us at ease from our very first email. On the day of our wedding, she was a calming presence and vibed with all of our guests. The photos she took are stunning and perfectly capture our celebration. We are so grateful to Celia for her artistry and approachability!

Awarded Best of Zola
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. If you’re looking for someone who blends professionalism with heart, and who will go above and beyond to customize your shoot, Julia is your person. We can’t recommend her enough!

We are so happy we found Hayley! We had a small laid back wedding and wanted lots of candid photos and nothing too posed. I saw her website and knew I had to hire her, and I'm so glad I did. She was always quick to answer emails which was great. After talking about how we wanted the day to go, Hayley already had great ideas for where to take pictures. Now we have photos of all our friends and family together. Hayley was so unobtrusive she fit right in. She also took awesome photos of just the two of us with the lake at sunset. We love our wedding photos and will cherish these memories always.

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.

Allison was the perfect photographer for our day. Her punctuality and schedule for photos was so helpful to ensure we got all the shots we wanted. She also noted any personalized touches we had and was sure to incorporate them into our pictures. Working with her was so stress free. We definitely recommend!

  • Starts at $1

Gola Osteria is both a fine dining Italian restaurant and catering company. Tho we specialize in Italian cuisine we are able to accommodate most styles of food for catering. We offer one on one tastings to help you chose the perfect menu for your event.

Gola Osteria was a great choice for catering! Kim was so easy to communicate with and ready to help. She was able to accommodate our request for a tasting while we were in town touring the venue, since we are from out of state. The food ended up being absolutely incredible — everything was so good. For me personally, one of the menu highlights was the butternut squash steak that we had chosen for our vegan guests, but it was so good that everyone wanted some too. Additionally, all of the catering staff working that night were so sweet, offering to help us carry our plates, which was a big help since I was wearing a heavy dress.

Lisa Fenwick, Harpist

Ithaca, NY
  • Ceremony only

Lisa is a well-trained harpist with a large selection of music. She is a highly experienced wedding professional and easy to work with. Lisa has played throughout the region and enjoys playing for weddings for all couples and sharing her music for such a meaningful occasion. Lisa loves what she does and looks forward to working with you to make your special event uniquely memorable.

I’m a fellow musician who has known Lisa for several years, and while I’ve heard her perform at wedding expos, I recently had the chance to hear her play at an actual wedding—and her music was absolutely gorgeous. It’s not just that the harp is a beautiful-sounding instrument (which it is), or that Lisa’s technical skill is exceptional (which it is), or that she plays familiar, well-loved tunes. What really struck me was the emotional weight and depth of her arrangements. Each piece felt intentional and moving. Having Lisa play at a wedding doesn’t just create a classy ambiance—it adds a genuine sense of beauty and emotional integrity to the entire experience.

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!!

Our photos are so beautiful and looking at them instantly takes me back to how I felt on our wedding day. We had both blazing hot sun and rain during our wedding, and the photos from both are equally gorgeous.

Highly recommended ! We are so over the moon happy that we were able to celebrate our rehearsal dinner at Osmica farm for a little over 100 guests. Can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience! Our families were so impressed by the natural, rustic and inviting feel of the farm! The owners, Allie and Kurt were truly a joy to work with! They were so responsive and helped us so beautifully plan every detail of our day! They helped us with our table decorations, beautiful flower arrangements and other rentals! The list of the vendors they provided were also so nice and responsive and easy to work with. They truly made our experience completely stress free! The farm has the most stunning sunset and lots of space indoors and outdoors for kids and adults to enjoy lawn games. And the most meaningful thing is that Allie and Kurt were so friendly and introduced themselves to our guests, everyone loved them. They were available and ready to help from the first to the last minute. We will definitely visit and stay at their beautiful bed and breakfast in the future.

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.

Hi! I’m Abigail. I was born without arms and am based in Binghamton, located in Upstate NY. I’m a passionate wedding photographer with a heart for capturing genuine love and emotion. I offer two distinct editing styles to reflect your unique story: a warm, nostalgic Boho Vintage look and a clean, timeless Light & Airy / True to Color style. Whether you’re drawn to earthy tones or bright, natural hues, I tailor each session to beautifully preserve your memories.

Abigail photographed my engagement and wedding photos in May and October. She made an already special time into something magical. As someone who has never felt beautiful, the way she captured the day made me finally feel that way for the first time. She and her second shooter were both so sweet and on top of every moment of the day. She was so organized and knew exactly what she wanted to do for the photos, making the day feel like a breeze. Her boho editing style perfectly complemented the fairytale/fantasy feeling of the wedding. Overall, a wonderful experience and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to photograph mine and my husband’s special day.
