Coastal Guru and Amazing Photographer

Larry is an amazing photographer, my husband and I were so happy we chose him! We got married at the Barns at Cooper Molera and used Larry for both engagement and wedding photos.
So happy we took engagement photos with him - my partner and I couldn't stop laughing and smiling with him, and it was actually one of our favorite date nights, it was so enjoyable. For engagement shots, he helped determine outfits for us (we brought down our closet) and we were able to go to 3 plus locations in less than 2 hours, and received so many well gorgeous photos.
Larry had excellent time management during the wedding. He was well prepared, gathered all necessary info needed at our week of check in, kept all family and friends engaged during photos, and was even able to fit in a beach photo shoot during the reception and no one noticed! He was direct during our planning and helped my partner and I organize our schedules and family/friend expectations. He kept an eye on weather and was very conscientious about cloud coverage and when to shoot where.
His assistant Elyse was equally amazing and so helpful with my dress and keeping my partner and I looking great during photos. They make an amazing team and I recommend them to everyone.
