Our Story

Larissa Barresi Photography

Hello there & welcome!

I’m Larissa – owner of Larissa Barresi Photography, a wedding and lifestyle photography team based in Rochester, New York.

As a theatre major in college, I started taking headshots for my fellow actor friends and my love for photography was born. After graduating, my path led me away from a career as an actor, but my passion for photography stuck! I’m now a wife of nearly eight years and mom to two amazing children. My family and I live in Fairport, NY – just a short walk from the Erie Canal. Although we aren’t from here originally, it absolutely feels like home.

As a photographer I am inspired by people and the love they share. I am passionate about telling individual love stories and capturing your most precious memories. I consider it a great privilege to work with couples and families, and am beyond grateful to for the chance to share in your life’s important moments!

My goal is to capture you and your loved ones with a natural and unobtrusive approach so that your final images portray you and your story! I love light-filled photographs that are bright, clean, and can be treasured forever.

I can’t wait to hear from you!

My loves

My family, being with friends, gardening, walking through antique stores, baking, sitting by a lake, and sipping wine.
