My journey into photography began in New York, where my competitive spirit and curiosity found their outlet behind the camera. Inspired by the city’s pace and character, I discovered a passion for capturing weddings that feel as alive as the people in them.

Over the last decade, my work has expanded across France and Italy, blending the bold energy of New York with the romance of Europe.

At the center of it all is connection,—anchored by the values that define my work.

What truly sets Larisa apart is her ability to balance art with intuition.

She doesn’t just take beautiful photographs; she anticipates moments before they happen and captures them in a way that feels entirely natural, never staged. It’s a rare gift, and one that makes her work unforgettable.

Collective Creativity

The energy of working with planners, vendors, and couples like you fuels creativity and makes this work that much more exciting. This also allows me to step into my role as a creative leader—guiding you with direction that builds confidence and trust.

Inclusive Vision

Love takes many forms, and every couple deserves to feel seen in theirs. This is why I value diversity and inclusivity in every sense, and find beauty in various people, places, cultures, and traditions. You’ll feel fully seen in your photographs, and celebrated exactly as you are.

collaboration

Adventure shows up in the way you design your day—through the risks you take, the choices you make, the way it reflects who you are. That same spirit shapes my life and work. If travel and discovery are part of your story, they belong in your photographs too.

Bold Expressions

adventure

Quality is simple: it means delivering photographs and experiences that you will cherish. That starts with transparency and clear communication, and extends to the final images, crafted with style and skill. From NYC ballrooms to Parisian luxury hotels to Tuscan hills or Greek islands, the standard remains the same: consistency, elegance, and integrity.

Lasting Value

THE PRINCIPLES

Larisa managed to capture NYC and us enjoying our day
and we felt so relaxed in her company,

Her direction and support when shooting the photos was fantastic. And most importantly the end images were beautifully presented, subtlety executed and really captured the sense of occasion flawlessly.
