Outstanding team

My (now) husband and I despise those photos that make you look stiff and posed. Verlyn and Kathleen did "pose" us, but never once did we have that aforementioned feeling. Their easy, relaxed demeanor made picture taking fun. They were unobtrusive in so many ways that we forgot they were even there taking pictures. Thus, all of our photos look almost spontaneous. Verlyn and Kathleen were so attentive to the fine details, were quick to respond to any emails or calls, and worked with us on a package that met our needs and our budget. The turn around time from wedding to receiving our final pictures was super quick and the photos ...... a lot of them made me cry. I feel so blessed to have found this wonderful photography team. They made a wonderful memento of our special day, and I would highly recommend them to all brides.

Dynamic Duo

We called Photography by Larson just a little more than a week before our wedding in April 2020. We weren’t sure the wedding was going to happen because of Covid so we waited to book a photographer. When we called and spoke to Verlyn and Kathleen, they were more than willing to help last minute. On the day of the wedding, they arrived early and were ready to get started. They were professional, friendly and easy to work with. They even stayed a little past our agreed upon end time. We received 25+ preview pictures within 12 hours of the wedding and couldn’t wait for more! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Photography by Larson!

All smiles

It’s difficult to find the perfect photographer for your wedding. It’s twice as difficult to find the perfect photographer when you’re getting married in a different state. I am so thankful that I called Verlyn & Kathy Larson. They were friendly & funny, yet very professional. They were patient and answered all my questions. By the time we we traveled from our western New York home to Sarasota Florida and met the Larson’s face-to-face, I felt like I had known the Larsons for years. I highly recommend this great couple. You won’t be sorry!

Verlyn was so fun to work with (:

Our formal ceremony was delayed by hurricane Eta... Anna Maria Island flooded and so afterwards on Friday the 13th, Verlyn came out with all his cool photography tools and with the help of my brother tossing my veil out into the wind on the beach, we got some awesome, dramatic shots! He also photoshopped out some hard-to-get stuff from the pictures, which I didn't expect. It was just a small family gathering due to the pandemic but he got our group shot with all the masks, some emotional ceremony photos and the best part was that I got to download all the photos and not have to choose like a dozen or something. I love that- getting to keep all our memories and go over them. He was a talented, relaxed guy to work with. We had a great time and never felt rushed or pressured; we had fun with it and I'm glad my parents picked him as our photographer. (:

Simply the best

Photography by Larson left our daughter's special day with a lifetime of beautiful pictures that we will always treasure. Every attention to detail, every moment captured, every thought put into our special day was flawless. The quality of this couple and their professionalism when we started to run late with our schedule was so appreciateted as they were able to work to make sure every picture was taken without adding tension. That was a gift! They were truly a blessing to our family. Thank you Verlyn and Kathleen!

Friendly and Professional!

The Larsons were recommended to me by my caterer and they were amazing. From the first email exchange to the final picture taken at the reception, both Verlyn and Kathleen were friendly, informative, funny, professional, and just so easy to work with. It felt like we were friends from the start. I didn't want to do a ton of posed shots and they totally respected my vision. Our ceremony and reception were at the Mote Marine Aquarium and they knew the best places to take photos, especially the sunset ones. Every shot came out perfectly. I would highly recommend Photography by Larson!
