We could not have been more pleased with our stay and wedding at Stratton Creek Inn and venue. The staff at the Inn was amazing. The food was great. The accommodations were beautiful and clean. The team at Stratton Creek Inn made us feel like they’re not doing weddings multiple weekends in a row, and that our event was truly special to them. They showed that with all the effort and care they put into the planning, and execution on the wedding day. We can’t recommend Stratton Creek Inn enough. We loved our experience there!!

Hello, my name is Julia. I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in Upstate New York, capturing love stories in a soft, natural and timeless way. Before photography became my full-time path, I studied architecture, which taught me to notice harmony in lines, balance in space and the quiet beauty of natural light. My approach is a mix of gentle guidance and documentary storytelling. I’ll guide you when needed, but I also give you space to be yourselves, so your photos feel real, relaxed and true to you.

Julia and her assistant Leo photographed my June wedding in Ithaca, and the two of them did an absolutely wonderful job. Julia is extremely professional, kind, friendly, and experienced. She directed my husband and me, our friends, and family in all of our photos, always helping us to look our best. Julia prepared a sneak preview with around 60 of our wedding photos after just one week, and they were all stunning! The full portfolio was ready just a few weeks later, and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Aside from the beautiful photography, Julia brought a warm, comforting, and celebratory atmosphere to our wedding day and we couldn't recommend her more.

I have been a professional photographer for over 25 years and of course very much love what I do. Much of my experience and education with photography evolved while living in lower Manhattan, working with editorial, fashion, glamour, photojournalism and still life photographers for Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Interview, Real Simple and Self magazines. I reside in the heart of NY with my wife Beth and our two beautiful children.

Jeffrey Foote Photography made our wedding day so much easier than we expected. He answered our questions quickly and really understood what we wanted for our photos. His work is stunning and the images came out crystal clear—every shot looked perfect. Jeffrey has a gift for capturing the moments that matter without getting in the way. We felt comfortable and relaxed knowing we were in such capable hands. If you're looking for a photographer who listens, delivers fast, and produces beautiful work, Jeffrey is absolutely worth booking.

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 had our wedding at Osmica in September 2025 and wow, it was the best decision we've ever made. Planning a wedding can be a stressful experience, especially when you're doing it remotely from North Carolina. We knew we wanted a rustic but upscale barn wedding in our hometown and found Osmica through various online searches. The property? Absolutely breathtaking. The views? Stunning. But the best part of all was Allie and Kurt. They're superheroes. They truly took so much stress off of our shoulders and we couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else. Allie was instrumental in executing our vision for the weekend from our first meeting 15 months before our wedding date. She guided us through the maze of vendors, rentals, flowers, potential layouts, etc. and helped us plan our weekend schedule with great care, flexibility, and attention to detail. When it came to the wedding weekend, we hosted our rehearsal dinner and Friday evening welcome drinks at Osmica as well. Allie and Kurt provided set-up and clean-up for the dinner, creating a dreamy tablescape under the maple trees. The wedding day itself was smooth sailing and stress-free, thanks to Allie and Kurt's tireless preparation and hospitality. They communicated behind the scenes with every vendor to ensure a smooth run of show. This allowed us to be fully present on our wedding day. Allie also put together our bouquet and additional flowers on the pergola directly from the flower garden at the farm. Her creativity and artistry is seriously unmatched!! Lastly, we have to shout out the farmhouse itself. Staying on-site with our family and friends was such a special bonus for the weekend. We especially loved the homemade, farm-fresh breakfasts we shared each morning. The rooms were clean, beautiful, and filled with thoughtful amenities. It provided the perfect, peaceful space for us to get ready together on the big day. Allie and Kurt, thank you for making our wedding the best weekend of our lives.

Kayla helped enormously in planning and organizing my daughter's bat mitzvah. I was feeling a bit over my head in planning the event. I probably started too late, and Kayla was able to find an excellent venue, connected me to photographers and DJ's, and calmed me down so that I could sleep at night. She also helped with the light lunch after the ceremony, the programs, and all the little stuff. She was terrific and I highly recommend.

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.

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 was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Kayla provided great communication everything leading up to the wedding and after, and the day of she couldn't have been more helpful. Kayla's work is absolutely amazing - you can tell she loves what she does and it really shows in the beautiful photos she captured. Kayla helped in every way to contribute to our special day, and our guests really enjoyed her presence and positive energy. We are thrilled with the sneak peaks and can not wait to see final photos.

From the moment we first spoke with John at the John Joseph Inn, my husband and I felt incredibly cared for and supported. This was the first and only venue we visited when we first started planning and we knew right away this would be the place for our wedding day. John's thoughtful and flexible communication style put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The stunning grounds and elegant venue felt like something out of a movie - the perfect backdrop for our special day. John and his team went the extra mile to incorporate every detail that was important to us, including working with us to build a custom menu that featured chicken from our family farm and custom desserts inspired by our mothers' recipes. 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. We are so grateful to the John Joseph Inn for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

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.

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.

Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,300
  • Serves Van Etten, NY

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!

The Black Barn at Harvest Moon was the perfect choice for our wedding venue.

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.

  • Serves Van Etten, NY

Willow Floral Studios creates unique, modern arrangements for weddings and events in the Finger Lakes Region and beyond. From elopements to large installations, we treat each client with the same care. Our focus is bringing your vision to reality.

Willow Floral Studios was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction with David and the team, their communication style was open, honest, and helpful, which put us at ease. Whenever we asked for David’s input on other decor (signage, day-of paper, jewelry), he was quick to respond and very constructive with his feedback. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - their floral arrangements were unique, classy, timeless and filled with vibrant, colorful blooms. They seamlessly incorporated special charms into my bouquet, and creatively included shades of purple and orange throughout the ceremony and reception decor, which perfectly matched our dream wedding palette. Willow Floral Studios exceeded our expectations and helped make our special day even more beautiful. We highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
