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 is not your typical wedding photographer -- not even close. She is so much more! She's a documentarian, artist, journalist, and storyteller, and that is exactly why working with her was one of the best decisions we made for the best day of our lives! My husband and I wanted a photographer who would prioritize candid photos of genuine emotions and chaos (let's be honest, weddings are chaotic!) as opposed to staged and rigid "everyone-line-up-and-smile" portraits. The Lovely Lens fit that bill entirely. In addition to delivering the most beautiful, vibrant, happy, REAL photos of our wedding weekend, she was also such a lovely presence the whole time (I felt like she was a genuine friend by the end!) Also, she was totally game for everything! Our wedding got a late start thanks to the weather, which squished the time we'd allotted for photos exponentially (we also decided not to have a first look, so the photo time was even more squished). Celia quite literally sprinted through a field of wet grass and mud and then through a secret corridor with us as we rushed to get back to our cocktail hour to be present at our wedding. She is a superhero, and we cannot recommend her enough!

Ithaca, NY
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,800

Hi, I’m Julia! For over 9 years, I’ve had the incredible privilege of capturing love stories and real moments that couples will cherish forever. Photography for me isn’t just about taking pictures — it’s about feeling the emotions, the small details, the laughter and tears, and turning those into timeless memories. I approach every wedding with an open heart and a curious eye, wanting to see the beauty in every glance and quiet moment. I gently guide my couples with posing in a way that feels natural and comfortable—without pressure or anything forced—and offer tips to help them relax and be themselves.

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!!

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.

Wonderful local vendor, personable, easy to work with, attentive to details, beautiful photos!

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.

Kim and her entire team at Gola were incredible! Super accommodating, communicative and respectful. We had a wedding with over 250 guests and she remained calm and positive throughout the entire experience even when we added last minute addition like executing our bar. The food was incredible all of our guests loved it especially their pasta course which they so graciously customized to make spicy for me :D My one criticism was that although we prepared them for the heavy-drinking crowd they did end up running out of beer and the bartenders were quite slow with making the drinks (we had recommended batching to help with this). They also ran out of food for our vendors not a huge deal but something that should've been avoided.

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. Sara's photos truly took our breath away - she has such a unique eye for color, texture, and style that is so distinctive and memorable. I highly recommend talking to Sara about your wedding!

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.

  • 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!!

Glad you're here! I am committed to authentic storytelling, candid moments and fostering amazing relationships with my clients. It doesn't matter to me if you're getting married in your backyard, or in a ballroom- all weddings are beautiful to me.

I wanted a photographer that would capture the authentic joy of our wedding day and Anna was the perfect choice! 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. Anna was easy to work with and was very knowledgeable on how to schedule photos throughout the day. I am so grateful to have such beautiful pictures that I can treasure for years to come!

Kelsey Travis is an exceptional choice for your wedding photographer. She has a timeless editing style, a rare talent for capturing beautiful moments, and a personality that is so wonderful to work with. Even before we saw our wedding photos, my husband and I kept saying Kelsey (and her colleague Matt) did such a great job and we were really grateful she was our photographer. She's so organized and communicative and you get so much value from working with Kelsey. Her results are spectacular--she made a little bit of a dreary day for an outdoor wedding look absolutely stunning. We don't even know which photo to frame because there are so many beautiful pictures to choose from.

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.

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.

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

Kayla provided great communication everything leading up to the wedding and after, and the day of she couldn't have been more helpful.

I could not ask for a more perfect venue - from the scenery, the beautiful Enchantment Garden, the proximity to the Falls and downtown Ithaca, to the amazing staff, food and service, we highly recommend the Inn at Taughannock Falls for a wedding venue, as well as a place to just stay the night and have an AMAZING meal from the restaurant (which we did the Thursday night before the wedding). All of our guests loved their accommodations, and Hillside house in particular served as the best "hang out", groomsmen getting ready, and after party spot. The full kitchen came in clutch for after party snacks and getting ready food. The Victorian Inn was literally perfect for hair and makeup and the fairly new 3rd salon is the ideal set up attached to a huge balcony overlooking the lake. What really made this wedding venue was the staff though. Later into the planning process, Amanda Hickey became our planner, after our previous planner Kelsey (who was also great) left. From day one Amanda was a rockstar - she was kind, thoughtful, helpful, extremely competent and organized. I did not feel like I had to start from scratch all over again with a new planner. She picked everything right back up and was key in making our perfect wedding day become a reality! Additionally, we would like to thank Stephenie who was very helpful throughout the process (including with getting us Cornell Dairy Bar for dessert!), Chef Justin, the pastry chef, Tania-Lynn, Loma, Gillian (so helpful attending to the bride the morning of the wedding and blocking traffic at the Falls first look), Carson (our personal server through the night who was so kind!!), Chloe, and all the other banquet staff! Our food options were impeccable and, while the short rib and halibut were slightly drier than preferred, they still tasted good! The cocktail hour stations and hor d'ourves were OUTSTANDING, and I must particularly thank and call out the Inn's chef and pastry chef making gluten free versions of everything for me (from the bread course, to Lobster puff pastry, and even special muffins at the Sunday breakfast) - and they did such a good job with it!!! All in all, this place is amazing and we highly recommend people have their wedding venue here (or at least visit it!). We cannot wait to come back to visit for our anniversaries too.

Why weddings? Why events? Well, love, of course. I am a hopeless romantic who has a knack for theatre and a love for organization. So....voila! Wedding planner.
