Hey there! I’m Kelsey, a wedding, engagement, and couples photographer based out of upstate New York. I live in Sidney, NY with my husband and our five cats (we love all the animals.) When I'm not behind the camera, I love cooking, calligraphy, graphic design, and traveling.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Kelsey for both our wedding and engagement photos. Throughout the whole process she was extremely communicative and thorough. She responded to texts and emails promptly and with very helpful details. She is thoughtful in the way she gets to know you as a couple and she quite literally thinks of everything the day of the wedding. She gave us our sneak peak of over 100 photos within 72 hours of the wedding which definitely exceeded our expectations. The photos themselves are stunning and capture the environment and lighting so beautifully. We have so many photos that we love just from the sneak peak! I would encourage anyone looking for a wedding photographer in central NY to consider Kelsey.

Hello, my name is Julia, I am a wedding photographer with more than 8 years of experience in wedding photography. I appreciate being able to preserve a love that will grow over the years. I will be happy to capture a special moment on your special day. With pleasure and enthusiasm, I am always ready for new adventures & challenges.

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!!

Pour Decisions Event Bartending is a mobile bartending service out of Pine City, NY. Our converted vintage horse trailer mobile bar will bring the party to you, which has a 2 keg tap system in the trailer. We are a dry hire bartending service, meaning you provide the alcohol, and we provide the rest. Our packages start at just bartending services and go up to personalize the perfect package for your next event.

Pour Decisions Event Bartending was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. Their communication was excellent - they were always responsive and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. Everything about their service was above and beyond our expectations. Alex and Zach were the stars of our wedding - their mixed drinks were the talk of the night (and many days after that) and their kindness, efficiency, and style was impeccable. They made sure everything was perfect from the bar decor, to the drink mixes, to even the drink garnishes. They were the best bartenders we could have asked for and truly the best decision we made. I would book them 1000 times over and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

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.

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. We would highly recommend Kayla French Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

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.

Allison was the perfect photographer for our day. Her punctuality and schedule for photos was so helpful to ensure we got all the shots we wanted. She also noted any personalized touches we had and was sure to incorporate them into our pictures. Working with her was so stress free. We definitely recommend!

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!

We are conveniently located only 15 minutes from downtown Ithaca, the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport (ITH) and an hour from Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR). ​ Our 7,000+ square foot event barn offers many layout options that let you design the event your way. The barn can comfortably seat 280+ people inside for a reception and there is no need for a tent with plenty of ceremony options such as the enclosed loft, attached porches, custom pavilion or our lavish gardens. You have plenty of layout options - it's your day, plan it your way!

My fiance' and I committed to Dutch Harvest Farm when it was nothing but a drawing on a page and acres of land covered by trees and tall grass. Many people thought we were crazy for signing a contract without seeing the finished product, but they hadn't met Laura. Laura is communicative, excited, caring and thoughtful. Our experience with her thus far has been nothing but positive, and that is difficult to say when you had to cancel your initial wedding due to COVID-19. She has helped us navigate the complex situation and continues to keep us informed even throughout the madness. Although we have not had our wedding just yet, we are ecstatic for our day at DHF and can't wait to share the venue we have seen come to fruition with as many friends and family as we can!

Where do I even begin. I called Sharon at Gilbertsville Farmhouse 8 days after Dave proposed to me. I was a bride on a mission with a vision and I knew (even after just looking at pictures online), that this was the place that would host the most special weekend of our lives. Sharon - first and foremost thank you for absolutely everything. You have a vision for design like no other and a heart of gold that shines through. To say that we love you is an understatement and I feel like we will be family forever. (Me and dave will be back every year don’t you worry). Brandon…where do I even start with you!?! Thank you for dealing with my type A personality and excel sheets seamlessly. I don’t know why things happen the way they do but I know for a fact that you were supposed to be apart of our big weekend. Thank you will never justify how we feel about you and like I already told you l, I’m never deleted our group chat because we are in fact best friends. Every couple is lucky to have you and I thank god every single second for the over the top and outstanding emotional support you provided to us. (LOL) KATIE! You are just magic, this place would not be the same without you there. I don’t know how you do what you do with such ease but I truly smile at the thought of you. I don’t want to brag but one of my favorite moments (besides the little dress flashing) will be you walking me down the aisle. I don’t think many people will be able to say that and I am honored. Chef Dakota - I will never be the same after eating your masterpieces (yes masterpieces). Food brings people together and that is exactly what you did. (That salmon - I could just die). GFH team - my goodness I love you all so much. The wedding blues are worse than normal because your team is not normal they are EXTRAORDINARY people. I will never forget this weekend and all the hard work you put into it to make sure our day was perfect, regardless of the weather. Maggie and Duke, I miss you more than you know. We love you all so much. Brides and grooms don’t hesitate on this magical place. RAIN OR SHINE they show up and show out for you. I literally walked down the aisle in the rain and I couldn’t have imagined it any other way. Side note: Queen Victoria - I’ve only seen a snippet of the photos you took and if they were the only ones I ever got I would die happy. Family forever. The Sampsons

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. I am the stage manager to your special day and I do it because I absolutely love it. I love love. I love family time and the important connections that are the fabric of our very being and certainly our important life moments.

I was so overwhelmed and stressed in the final months leading up to our wedding. After our initial consultation with Kayla, I felt like I could finally breathe. She just "got" me, and knew exactly what was on my mind before I even said it. I felt so reassured knowing that she was helping to track the millions of little details for our big day. From calls leading up to our wedding, to site visits and in-person meetings, I left each time a little lighter knowing that she had our back. I can't even begin to thank her for how above and beyond she went on our wedding weekend. I know there were a million fires she put out that I thankfully never even knew about. That's what working with Kayla meant for us - peace of mind and the ability to REALLY be present and take in our wedding day. It was truly worth it to work with such a professional and I wish I could go back in time and have hired her sooner!

Claire was amazing!! She is so sweet and personable, right from the very first email exchange. Her rates are very reasonable and transparent, and she even helped us customize a package that worked best for our wedding. We had two pre-wedding sessions to go over the details, list of photos needed, and all the logistics, and she was very accessible via email throughout the process. She emailed me two days before the wedding letting me know that she had scoped out the venue and the surrounding area to find good photo spots, which made the day of so much smoother. We did our formal photos before the ceremony, and she corralled the family and wedding party professionally and kindly. She kept our spirits up and she wasted no time. Her assistant was also very professional and friendly, and they collaborated so well to get maximum photos at every angle. Claire made sure we had plenty of time for just the grooms, various locations and poses, and we got to have fun and create some really unique shots! During the ceremony I didn't even register that she was in the room, and yet we have beautiful photos of the entire thing, so she did a great job of staying out of the way while also getting all of the important shots! Throughout the cocktail hour and reception Claire and her assistant split off to maximize coverage, but I felt that one of them was always close by for a good shot. They also pulled us to the balcony to catch some beautiful shots at sunset, and those were absolutely worth it! Throughout the evening, if I found myself dancing or talking with someone I hadn't gotten a picture with yet, I could easily gesture or call to them to get our picture, and they also got plenty of other action shots. We received a "sneak peek" of about 50 photos within 24 hours of our event, and the full set of photos within 2 months. She gave us the time we needed to finalize our photo album, and had it published very quickly. We are so glad we chose Claire, she captured our day perfectly and was such a pleasure to work with.

Imagine yourself celebrating with family & friends at one of the most picturesque locations in the Finger Lakes, where exquisite catering and meticulous service combine to create magical, memorable events. Host an intimately-scaled outdoor wedding on our lushly landscaped waterfront patio with the sun setting over Seneca Lake as your backdrop. Or celebrate in sophisticated style in our elegant Harbor Ballroom. Our professional wedding consultant will make sure that no detail is overlooked and will advise on the array of delicious dining options, from plated sit-down dinners to elaborate buffets. A professional wedding consultant guides the process every step of the way, from choosing the perfect blooms to selecting from various priced menu options. The hotels' expansive landscaped waterfront grounds and elegant interiors lend themselves to on-site ceremonies and extended celebrations making for true destination weddings.

Aside from the beauty of the lake and the hotel, this place did it all for us. Any extra things we wanted for the wedding or reception just needed to be dropped off and the event coordinators took care of the rest. The coordinator we met with was great with communication through email. We really enjoyed our dinner tasting - the food was amazing! The coordinators made the day run so smoothly. The room for the cocktail hour was set up wonderfully. Table settings are included with the package and the candles looked perfect. We felt secure in knowing we could easily move the ceremony inside with any weather concerns. The landscaping/greenery is so well taken care of, it looked fantastic for our ceremony outside on the patio. The hotel staff set up, serve, and clean up - it made for a very relaxing weekend. Our hotel room was incredible also. The hotel was generous with leaving little surprises and gifts for us when we arrived to our room. It was all worth the price.

Ba-Li Cravings Catering

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $37 per person
  • Serves Hector, NY

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!!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Hector, NY

When I'm not behind the camera I'm hiking, fly fishing and doing yoga. I'll use any excuse to head north to the Adirondacks. (Eagle Bay donuts is my favorite incentive for a day trip.) I'm on my way to becoming a licensed yoga instructor. I'm obsessed with how my hair smells after a day in the woods. If you can relate, we'll probably be best friends. I live with my amazing fiancé, Alex, and we have two kids who are way cooler than we are. We also have FIVE cats and two dogs. I'm always down for a coffee date if you want to chat wedding details or hiking trails. I always want your dog to come to your engagement sessions.

Booking Jen Pecka Photography for our wedding was one of the easiest and definitely one of the best decisions we made for our January wedding! From the moment we met, Jen made us feel super comfortable and confident in front of her camera. She shot both our engagement session as well as our big day and all of the photos came out absolutely GORGEOUS!!! She captured every single detail of our wedding beautifully. As we looked through our wedding photos for the first time, we were able to relive the best day of our lives. Jen not only captures special moments, but the genuine emotions of those being photographed. All of our photos are STUNNING, I am having a very difficult time choosing favorites to print and hang in our home. Trust Jen Pecka Photography to capture your wedding day, you will not regret it!
