Juliette Zyg Picture Studios 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Ava, NY

Hello there!! I'm Juliette, and I've been wedding photographer and videographer for around seven years. I specialize in nostalgic and cinematic photo and video, and mix in-the-moment candids with editorial portraits (usually with flash photos!) Whether you’re having a wild wedding weekend, a thoughtful woodsy elopement or an elegant celebration at an estate, I'm here for it.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first call, I just knew Juliette was our photographer! She’s so down-to-earth and kind, and she immediately made us feel so comfortable—like we were working with an old friend. She’s insanely talented (seriously, her work speaks for itself), but it’s her warmth and energy that make her truly special. The second she and her husband showed up for our wedding weekend, we knew we made the right choice. They’re just such genuinely kind people, and everyone in our family and wedding party were impressed and loved them immediately (without even seeing a photo). Juliette wasn’t just our photographer—she became such an important part of the day. I honestly can’t imagine our wedding without them. To give you an idea of just how incredible Juliette is: my sister got engaged a month after our wedding hired Juliette immediately. My mom literally said, “We already love Juliette, why would you even look for anyone else?”. If that doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what does. We weren’t looking for a full wedding video, just something simple to capture our vows and speeches. Juliette put together a custom package that fit exactly what we wanted, and she still managed to go above and beyond. She just gets it, and somehow manages to exceed every expectation. What really sets Juliette apart is that she goes beyond simple wedding photography—she tells a story with her work. Sure, you can hire someone for 2-3k, but you will not get the high-quality, gorgeous, editorial photos that Juliette delivers (sorry!!!!). Her photos are next-level—every single shot feels thoughtful, stunning, and so full of life. Juliette is worth every single penny and then some. I cannot recommend her enough—she is such a gem, and I am honored that she captured my wedding.

Nicole Lagoe Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Ava, NY

Hey- I'm Nicole. When I'm not working with the raddest couples I'm typically brewery hopping with my wife, or home spending time with my three dogs. I live for SU basketball, and love just about any other Syracuse sports team (Crunch, Mets - count me in). I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not have been happier with Nicole. She was always responsive and easy to communicate with. When we had our engagement shoot, she was enjoyable to work with and took incredible photos. From that point we never felt anxious about any aspect of the wedding photos, because we knew we had found the best photographer we could possibly find, and we were totally right! We love our photos so much, and I can't recommend that peace of mind highly enough. She is incredibly talented and efficient, quickly understood what we wanted and managed to give us everything we hoped for without disrupting the big day in any way. Many of our guests have commented on how great the photos were and how amazing it was that our photographer captured them while never getting in the way. Working with Nicole was easily one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process!

Mascara In Her Pocket

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Ava, NY

My favorite thing about makeup is making someone look like a better version of themselves and helping them to feel confident and beautiful on their big day. I’m a Sephora Pro trained artist and was formally a Graphic Designer. I think my past training has given me a lot of insight and has let me be able to cater to all skin types and tones.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend enough! Tiffany did the most incredible job on my wedding day, giving me the perfect natural look that made me feel like the best version of myself. The makeup was flawless and lasted the entire night without any touch-ups, despite all the outfit changes, dancing and celebrating. On top of her amazing skills, she was such a joy to work with – so kind, patient, and professional. She truly went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and beautiful. If you’re looking for someone who will deliver stunning results while making you feel at ease, she is the one! I don’t think I’ve ever felt so beautiful. I loved her so much I have used her for other events. My pictures don’t do any justice.

Hi! I'm Courtney -- the founder and lead planner of Crown Coordination. You could say I'm your not-so-average pineapple obsessed, wine loving, adventure seeking chaos coordinator. When I say that I literally get married for a living and absolutely love it -- I mean it!

Awarded Best of Zola
We connected 4.5 months out from our wedding - after our original venue fell through and we had to find a new one - Courtney showed up eager, confident, excited and supportive. It was important for her to build a friendship first, learn about us then dive into everything that we needed and THEN some. Her experience within the event and wedding planning industry shows immediately - her connections to vendors, advice, ideas and knowledge of how a successful day looks is a huge part of what makes her team so powerful - not to mention the extremely bubbly, funny and positive energy she brings to every conversation and meeting. To top it all off, the morning and afternoon of our wedding day was a straight monsoon - Courtney and her team did not blink, jumped into GO mode and turned our day, venue, timeline and energy around flawlessly. Crown Coordination are the people you want by your side for anything that could unexpectedly pop up! We will always be thankful for their guidance, support and incredible partnership. This is your sign to call Crown Coordination ASAP!

Hands down the best professional makeup I’ve ever had! Hannah did my makeup along with my maids of honor, mother and mother of the groom. Not only is she extremely talented and easy to communicate with, but she was such a kind, sweet and professional presence on the day of my wedding. I did my trial on my bday (highly recommend) and didn’t want to change a thing for the wedding! My wedding day was the most beautiful I’ve ever felt thanks to Hannah. Her air brush makeup felt refreshing going on and felt light all day. She used the perfect colors for my cool toned skin and exceeded my expectations! I went for youthful, blushy, doll-like. My girls and moms loved their makeup as well, regardless of whether they asked for natural or glam, everyone looked incredibly radiant. It was so fun seeing everyone hop out of her chair looking like true goddesses! I would hire Hannah for any future makeup in a heartbeat!

I pride myself on being able to work with couples of all backgrounds and cultures. I am outgoing, energetic and have a true passion for documenting your day. Each wedding tells a unique story and it is my job to tell your story. I have been photographing weddings for over 6 years . Prior to that I worked weddings as a 2nd photographer and an assistant to several regional photographers. I felt that by working with several different companies I was able to gather experience from several perspectives. I shoot with the Nikon series of cameras and Lens. During the "off season" you can catch me photographing local High school sporting events.

Cassie was absolutely incredible!! She was extremely organized and made the entire photo taking process run smooth. She was familiar with the venue so she was pretty much a second wedding coordinator. She was fun and energetic the whole night. She made me feel confident and comfortable in front of a camera. My husband and I would recommend her a thousand times to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion!

Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph.

That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Wilder has created florals for galas, fashion shows, and weddings at some of the best NYC venues for over a decade, and more recently, at boutique venues in Central New York. We approach our beautifully wild wedding flowers with passion, cohesiveness, and an environmental ethic, taking inspiration from the landscape around us. Most of my design blends more obvious blooms with forage from my land upstate, so that your wedding feels seasonal, natural, original and (elegantly ) wild.

“Alex and her team are not only intensely dedicated to the look and feel of the floral design of the event, but respectful in honoring the surroundings they work within. Their work at Wave Hill for a recent wedding was a game changer and many clients look to the images from that event as their own wedding and private event muse.”

We all start this wild journey one way or another. My way? I was introduced to Ansel Adams’ work in a Photo 1 class in high school. How would the kids say this… his black and whites were giving adventure? What I mean is, they were nice. I had already been hiking the Adirondacks for 15 years at that point, why couldn’t I do it? Why couldn’t I take those photos too? I set out to prove to myself I could. Over the past decade I’ve evolved from landscapes to sports to family portraits to weddings. I continue all of those today. Never forget your roots, right?

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t recommend wozztography more. We have been working with him for years and it was a no brainer when we got engaged. He helped us feel comfortable and suggested fun poses, and then walked us through lots of things he wanted to take pictures of when it came to our wedding. He balanced letting me take control of what pictures I wanted and giving direction. We even got some drone shots. He was willing to travel, upbeat and energetic and captured the best day of our lives better than we ever hoped.

Peter was the DJ at our wedding on 9/21/2024, and we cannot say enough good things about him! He was extraordinarily organized (which was so helpful as a Type-A bride), and his planning form brought up items we never would've even considered. When our original venue closed, Peter immediately shifted gears and got to work planning for our new venue. He took the time to edit our first dance and parent dance songs, and even tracked down an Iranian song for us that my husband had requested. And best of all, he kept the dance floor packed all night! We highly recommend him to any couples who are considering a DJ for their wedding.
