Hello, I'm laryssa

Wedding | portrait Photographer

I’m an Utah-based photographer specializing in weddings and portraiture. My style is true-to-color with a little bold contrast, and I’ll always have a soft spot for a beautiful black and white moment.

Photography has been part of my story for as long as I can remember. It started with snapping photos of wildflowers on the side of the road, and grew into capturing the everyday moments with my husband and our two kids. Today, I get to document some of the most meaningful chapters in my clients’ lives, and that’s something I’ll never take for granted. The best part of this job? Being invited into your most important moments, whether it’s the vows on your wedding day or the little in-between smiles during a family session, and turning those memories into something you can hold onto forever.

My approach

My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely yourself. No stiff poses, no pressure, just real moments, real connection, and photos that reflect your story honestly and beautifully.

I’m so glad you’re here, and I’d be honored to be part of your journey.

A Few Fun Things About Me

Ever heard of y’allteritve? Yeah I’m some where in that genre of style, one day it’s cowboy boots and a dress other days it’s doc martens, jeans, and a band tee.

Music taste? I listen to EVERYTHING! From heavy metal to classical, if I can sing and dance to it, I will!

My husband is a proud veteran, and I couldn’t be more thankful for his service and the life we’re building together.

My family is my biggest hype crew! Every image I take and edit, they love and want to see more!

We’re currently bringing our dream homestead to life, slowly but surely turning a very small patch of land into the cozy, peaceful space we’ve always imagined.

Sushi and potstickers are my go to foods!

And if we ever meet at a cafe, you’ll probably find a chai tea with cinnamon in one hand, a chocolate croissant in the other.
