  • Serves Waverly, NY

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.

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!!

Stoney Creek Castle is an absolutely charming and breathtaking venue. The owners are so helpful and considerate. The setting is gorgeous with the creek in the back, and the whole setup is extremely unique. The venue provides a photobooth and a telephone to leave voice messages for the couple (all you need is to provide the SD card). My husband and I loved listening to the voice messages afterward. Additionally, the bathroom has more than enough room to accommodate a massive wedding gown, which is great. Could not be happier with the venue or the owners.

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.

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.

Choosing Kelsey Travis Photography for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in our entire planning process. From the very first conversation to the final moments of our big day, Kelsey and her assistant Ashley brought an energy, passion, and professionalism that was simply unmatched. Not only is Kelsey incredibly talented behind the lens, but she also has this beautiful gift of making people feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated. She captured every emotion, every tear, every laugh, and every detail big and small with such artistry and intention. Her assistant Ashley also indulged our children crazy ideas. Our wedding was filled with sentimental moments, surprises, and meaningful family traditions, and somehow Kelsey and Ashley managed to be everywhere at once, documenting it all without ever being intrusive. It was like having a dear friends’s with a camera, who just gets it. Our guests even commented on how amazing and kind our photographers were, which speaks volumes. They “blended” in effortlessly, hyped us up when we needed it, and even helped wrangle family for portraits like an absolute pro. We are beyond grateful to Kelsey and Ashley for giving us timeless, emotional, and breathtaking memories we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. If you’re lucky enough to book her do it. You won’t regret it for a second. She’s not just a photographer, she’s magic. With full hearts, Heather & Chris

Osmica is a dream! Allie and Kurt are gems and helped make our wedding so very special. From the beautiful property to the fun yard games, gorgeous renovated barn and hayloft to the lovely overnight we spent at the B&B, it was an occasion we'll never forget. The space is flexible to have a ceremony indoors or out, space for live music, ample dance floor real estate, and the loft can be set up in different configurations for whatever suits the event. Allie used flowers from the property to adorn the tables while Kurt managed catering deliveries, and they were amazing with set-up, tear-down, welcoming guests, and so much more. Allie communicated with us clearly about making sure we had the proper paperwork filed for having beer and wine on-site, and details for making things run smoothly on the day-of. We booked a night at the B&B which was so fabulous - they've renovated the farm house with such charm and character, many things being up-cycled - and breakfast we had the next morning (with ingredients from the farm!) was scrumptious. We highly recommend Osmica for your wedding, or any special event!

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.

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.

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. 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!

The Black Barn at Harvest Moon was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, Cassandra was incredibly helpful and responsive, making the planning process a breeze. Cassandra planned everything perfectly, ensuring our big day went off without a hitch. The property itself is simply gorgeous, with the picturesque barn and stunning natural landscape providing the ideal backdrop for our special day. We cannot recommend the Black Barn at Harvest Moon enough!

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.
