Julia Karpyshyn
Ithaca, Ithaca, NY
Hi, I’m Julia! For over 9 years, I’ve had the incredible privilege of capturing love stories and real moments that couples will cherish forever. Photography for me isn’t just about taking pictures — it’s about feeling the emotions, the small details, the laughter and tears, and turning those into timeless memories. I approach every wedding with an open heart and a curious eye, wanting to see the beauty in every glance and quiet moment. I gently guide my couples with posing in a way that feels natural and comfortable—without pressure or anything forced—and offer tips to help them relax and be themselves.
I’m based in Ithaca, New York, but love traveling wherever your story takes you. Being part of your day, capturing those authentic moments that often go unnoticed, and helping you relive your special day through photos is what truly inspires me. Let’s connect and create something beautiful together—moments you’ll want to remember for a lifetime.

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!!
