“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!!”

Your wedding is a unique expression of who you are. You have a vision, and it’s time to bring that vision to life. You deserve to have a celebration as unique as you are! And most of all, your story starts with love. Let us help you tell that story. Engaged Entertainment is a full-time entertainment provider, which means that your event is our 9-5 job, not just a weekend “gig.” You get more of our time and attention to make your event an unbelievable success!

“Ryan was truly the whole package. When we were originally pricing out DJs for our wedding, we were a little shocked by how much they are. However, music is very important to both of us, and we had heard enough negative stories from friends and acquaintances that we knew it was important to find a quality DJ. Ryan was recommended to us by an old classmate, and from our first meeting we knew we wanted him to do our wedding. Ryan is so personable, so attentive, and he makes you feel like you're the only/most important wedding he's doing (while still exuding confidence and experience). We had a great many long Zoom calls with Ryan (we were planning our wedding from across the country) and he thought of things we would never have thought of in a million years. On the day of, Ryan made sure everything went seamlessly. He was the most incredible emcee and DJ, and all our friends commented on what a great job he did curating an atmosphere. Ryan listened to everything we wanted, and somehow made it even more incredible than we could have dreamed. Ryan is worth every penny. Truly.”

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.

“We had our wedding at Osmica in June 2026 and had a wonderful experience. Allie and Kurt have created a truly unique and special place that is so much more than a venue. The property feels both grand and regal, while also rustic and down to earth. From the gorgeous restored barn and incredible farm house, to the rolling pastures and beautiful sweeping views, it is the perfect place for an Ithaca wedding! Our ceremony was stunning, thanks to Kurt’s handmade wooden Chuppah and Allie’s gorgeous wedding florals. She did all of the florals for our wedding and we were totally blown away by their beauty! We did a one day wedding rental, including renting the whole farmhouse for getting ready (there are separate sides where the bride and groom can get ready which was great) and stayed in one of the rooms upstairs for our wedding night. The space was so beautiful, clean, comfortable, and gave us a much needed landing place before, during, and after the wedding. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Allie was a great source of stability and consistency in the wedding planning chaos. She was professional, kind, and timely when communicating with us and with our various vendors. Over the many months of planning, Allie really listened to our preferences and priorities and worked really hard to bring our unique vision to life. From all of that hard work, our wedding was incredible! All in all, we would absolutely recommend anyone looking to get married in Ithaca to get married at Osmica. You won’t regret it!

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 Kayla French Photography https://www.kaylafrenchphotography.co/ We just got married this past August 8th! Kayla French was our photographer, and we LOVED her. Kayla was absolutely the BEST wedding photographer we could have asked for!  From the very beginning, she made the entire process so easy and stress-free, in addition to being flexible when needed. She was incredibly quick and responsive with calls and emails, extremely organized, and always made sure we knew what to expect. She made everything feel so seamless and took so much of the stress out of the planning process for us. On our wedding day, Kayla was truly amazing. Her presence was so calming, which made such a difference during what can otherwise be a hectic and overwhelming day. She was confident and direct when it came to keeping things moving and making sure we got everything we needed, but she was also incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the entire day. What I appreciated most was how genuinely supportive Kayla was. She was truly in my corner and made me feel so comfortable. She was attentive to the little things, so patient, and always made sure I was good.   She somehow managed to keep us on track while still allowing us to enjoy every moment. You could tell that she genuinely cared about making our day special, and she handled everything so seamlessly. We are beyond grateful that Kayla was there to capture our wedding day.  Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also such a wonderful person to have by your side on one of the most important (and craziest) days of your life. We could not recommend her more highly! We will also be going back to her for future photo shoots too :) If you are considering booking Kayla, DO IT — you will not regret it! 3 PS - we just got our sneak peek pictures about a week after our wedding, and they are amazing.

“We got married at New Park about 4 months ago, and it was absolutely magical! The scenery was breathtaking—exactly what I envisioned for my “backyard, but not a backyard” wedding. Multiple guests even said it was the favorite wedding they’d ever attended! There was plenty of space to dance, but guests also had so many other fun options like cornhole, ping pong, and relaxing by the fire. The venue is truly unique, and if I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t choose anywhere else. Huge thanks to Sara and the entire New Park team for making our day unforgettable!”

“Our wedding weekend here was nothing short of perfect, and we owe so much of that to this incredible venue and their team. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of—stress-free, smiling ear to ear, and overwhelmingly grateful for the people making it all possible. Every detail was handled with such care—from coordination and organization to thoughtful touches throughout the weekend. The setting itself is stunning—the views left our guests in awe—and the food was absolutely fantastic. Having the chance to celebrate with our loved ones over an entire weekend, instead of just a few hours, was truly priceless. Goat yoga ended up being one of the most talked-about events, and our guests are still raving about it. The staff deserves the highest praise. Brandon, Katie, John, and Shelby went above and beyond to make us and our families feel welcome and supported. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless. Their list of trusted vendors also made planning so much easier, and we truly couldn’t have imagined a better fit for our celebration. Their help through the planning process was instrumental in planning a wedding weekend in just 5 months!! Our guests are still asking how we found such a magical place, and the truth is—we feel incredibly lucky. We are endlessly grateful to the entire team for making our wedding not just smooth, but truly the best weekend of our lives. If you’re looking for a venue that combines breathtaking views, amazing food, incredible accommodations, and a staff that makes you feel like family—look no further. Choosing this venue was the single best decision we made for our wedding.”
