“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!

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!

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

“David and I just had our wedding here this past Saturday. 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.”

On the day-of, the coordinators were there every step of the way, making sure things flowed smoothly so that we could relax and enjoy our celebration. They handled all the setup and logistics flawlessly. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting or more capable team helping us pull off our dream wedding. Honestly could not have dreamed of a more perfect wedding.”

Hey! I'm Danielle, and I have been photographing weddings for over twenty years now. I love to capture the memories of the day so that when you look back at your photos you can relive the moment and feel the emotions all over again. It is the best job in the world to be able to be a part of the best day of someone's life. Many would characterize my work as a natural photojournalistic photographer. I feel that I am an artist as well as a photographer.

“Danielle was actually recommended to us by a few people we know and she was also very highly rated online. She was everything and more then we could have asked for truly. My wedding party was not the best at listening and she was so very patient with them and me having to scream multiple times to get everyone's attention. She was such a pleasure to have at our wedding and our pictures turned out better then I could have ever imagined. Danielle has done other photography for me since my wedding. I plan to use her for all my and my families photography in the future. She has also become a wonderful friend. I highly highly recommend Danielle. I would pick her 10000 times over again!”

“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!”

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.”

From the perfect cake samples she made for us to try, to the beautiful setup on our wedding day, we were beyond impressed with her work. We chose a mini two-tier strawberry and cream cake along with a variety of cupcakes — chocolate mousse, coconut cream, and strawberry and cream — and our guests absolutely loved them all! Everything tasted incredible and looked exactly how we envisioned it. Kelly came and set everything up perfectly, and the display was stunning. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for delicious desserts and exceptional service for their wedding or special event!”

“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.”
