Larissa Barresi PhotographyCourtney & Clinton – Ganondagan State Historic Site wedding | Victor, New York
Posted on December 18, 2020
There’s a blanket of snow outside my window so today seems like a good day to post this sunny autumn wedding! I’m so excited to share a few photos from Courtney and Clinton’s intimate September wedding. Courtney and Clinton held their ceremony on a hilltop in the Ganondagan State Historic Site. Ganondagan backs right up to their LOVELY backyard so we were able to walk straight from their home to the beautiful, sunny walking trails. After a sweet ceremony officiated by one of Courtney’s high school coaches we headed back to their house for the dinner and celebration. Just before sunset Courtney, Clinton, and I took one more walk back to the State Historic Site and enjoyed taking some golden hour portraits! I had so much fun spending the day with this amazing couple and their kind family. I’m sitting here smiling as I look back through these photos and wishing all the best to the stunning bride and groom. Cheers!

Taylor & Mike – Backyard Wedding in Webster, NY
Posted on July 19, 2020
This wedding season has been so different from what any of us could have imagined. My heart breaks for all the brides and grooms who’ve had to change their plans, postpone their dream wedding, or cancel their event entirely. As a small business, it’s been tough. However, as in all situations there are bright spots. Taylor and Mike decided to postpone their wedding reception until next spring, but they decided to hold a very small ceremony for their close family in Taylor’s parents’ backyard in Webster, NY. I am SO glad that they asked for me to be there to document their ceremony. It was pure joy to watch this kind, loving couple become husband and wife. Taylor and Mike, I couldn’t be happy for you and I am so excited to be there for your wedding celebration in 2021!

Time for a little engagement sweetness to brighten up your day! We captured Brandon and Nicole’s engagement photos on a bright, snowy afternoon at Highland Park in Rochester just before Valentine’s Day. I will be photographing their wedding this September and I can tell that is it going to be a great one! These two absolutely beam with love for each other – their joy is contagious.  Congratulations to this lovely couple – I can’t wait to celebrate you both this fall!
Dianna & John – Glen Iris Inn, Letchworth State Park Wedding
Posted on August 17, 2019
I am very excited to share our first Western New York wedding today! Dianna and John tied the knot at the beautiful Glen Iris Inn at Letchworth State Park. Being new to the area, we had never been (or really heard about) Letchworth. We were amazed. Teeming with natural beauty, waterfalls, and wildflowers this was one of the most gorgeous wedding venues one could image. The romantic backdrop highlighted the joy and love that emanated from the bride and groom. Their wedding was fun, sweet, and oh so PRETTY. Congratulations again to this great couple – cheers to Dianna and John!
Billy & Gina – Warfield House Inn, Charlemont MA Wedding
Posted on August 10, 2019
It is such an honor to post this wedding today! I’ve known the groom, Billy, since he was born, and we always referred to each other as “cousins” since our mothers are best friends! When Billy and Gina got engaged last year I was so touched that they trusted me to document their special day – and what a truly special day it was. The weather was absolutely perfect; a bright and warm spring day. I absolutely LOVED their hilltop venue, The Warfield House Inn in Charlemont, with its stunning mountain views and picturesque landscape. This wedding was so fun to be a part of because Billy and Gina were so clearly elated to be marrying one another. The entire day was joyous and loving – what more can you ask for? Congratulations to the stunning bride and groom!
Michelle & Chad – Apple Hill Farm Leominster, MA Wedding
Posted on November 30, 2018
I had the privilege to photograph Michelle and Chad’s beautiful autumn wedding at Apple Hill Farm in Leominster. This couple poured so much love and careful planning into their big day and it truly paid off with a fun-filled, gorgeous wedding. These two were sweet as can be and a real pleasure to work with from the moment we met them over a year and a half ago! I’m so thrilled for this great couple and grateful that I got the chance to be part of this special day.
Nicole and Ryan – Gloucester Harbor, Massachusetts Wedding
Posted on October 17, 2018
Nicole and Ryan tied the knot aboard the Beauport Princess out of Gloucester, Massachusetts. It was a unique experience for me as I’d never shot a wedding on a boat before, but that is truly the fun of this job – every wedding is so special and distinctive! I so enjoyed spending time with Nicole and some of her closest friends and family at her home before heading to Gloucester Harbor. Everyone was so welcoming and excited to celebrate this great couple. The ceremony was short and sweet with guests overlooking the couple from three decks! The weather couldn’t have been better as the Beauport Princess set sail for a GORGEOUS harbor cruise. Once the sun set (rather spectacularly!) the party really kicked off! I am so glad that I had the opportunity to be part of this amazing wedding. Congratulations to Nicole and Ryan – thanks for letting me be part of your special day!
Star & Brian – Nonantum Resort Kennebunkport, Maine Wedding
Posted on October 4, 2018
I am so excited to share Star and Brian’s beautiful Nonantum Resort Kennebunkport wedding today. They were married on a gorgeous September day along the Kennebunk River. Every detail throughout the day was so beautiful, unique, and personal from the bride’s sparkling shoes to the custom calligraphy on the place cards and menus. I had so much fun spending the day with Brian, Star, and their loved ones. This couple was so sweet, and I’m thrilled that they had such an amazing wedding day. This was a truly special wedding and I’m so glad I could be part of it. Congratulations to the lovely bride and groom!
