Larissa Bahr Photography

saw her photos and met her that she was the right photographer for me & my fiance's wedding/engagement sessions. We started with our engagement shoot in San Juan Capistrano Northwest Open Space. It was a location Larissa had never photographed before, and she was eager and enthusiastic to explore the area and photograph in as many areas as possible! Even the nettles that were giving us blisters on our feet didn't keep us from photographing! The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, more exceptional that I can even explain. In the year between our engagement photos & wedding, we received countless compliments on our engagement photos. We used them for our invites, wedding website, and it all looked so beautiful and professional. For our wedding, Larissa was there from beginning to end. She captured every moment and had another photographer, Tommy, help her out. He was there for the guys getting ready too, and together they were a rock-star team. At the wedding, and while getting ready, Larissa not only photographed, but also helped us manage time and stay on schedule. She gave such good advice for the day of the wedding, and helped us plan our whole timeline during our final meeting a couple weeks before the wedding. The wedding day went so smoothly with her there! Over the 2 years of our engagement we became great friends with Larissa. She came to my bridal shower, and at an event a couple weeks before the wedding she found out that on our honeymoon we'd also be in the Santa Cruz area the same weekend as her (she was up there for a wedding) and she offered to do a post-wedding shoot with us in the Henry Cowell Redwoods forest! She was super flexible about meeting at a time that worked best for us, and when we got sunburnt and had to find cover-up and were running late, she was totally understanding and had some fun photographing the scenery until we got there! She knew the forest so well, and had such beautiful suggestions. The photos are incredible, and it's a day we'll never forget! She goes through the photos and edits several of them so quickly - giving us exciting sneak peeks! It's so much fun seeing snippets of them along the way, and she gives you so many photos to choose from, it's amazing! Larissa is exceptionally passionate about photography, and this shows in everything she did for us. Our guests still comment on how excellent our photographer was, and both Sabrina and I are thankful to Larissa for making us feel so relaxed on the big day, which really shows in our photos. Larissa's attention to detail shows in the final result. We look forward to having her as our photographer for all special events, family photos, anniversary photos - everything in the future! She'll be the photographer for my friend's wedding this November, and I'll continue recommending her to everyone!
