Larissa Barresi PhotographyTaylor & Mike – Highland Park, Rochester Engagement Session
Posted on January 11, 2020
Wow – life has gotten busy over here. The fall seemed to fly by as we continued to acclimate to our new home here in Rochester, NY. Then the holidays were upon us with all the bustle and joy that season brings. In addition to settling ourselves in our new community, we’ve been laying the seeds for our photography business here in Western New York. It has been so fun to meet the wonderful brides and grooms who have entrusted us to photograph their weddings in 2020! One of those lovely couples are these lovebirds – Taylor and Mike. I can’t wait to document their special day this coming summer. I’ve been meaning post these on the website for a while now – but as I said, life has been busy!

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!
Cebca & Joe – Boston Public Gardens Wedding
Posted on August 3, 2019
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Cebca and Joe’s intimate Boston Public Garden wedding. It was a beautiful day – perfect for an outdoor ceremony beneath swaying willow trees. I loved snapping some of the bride and groom’s portraits on charming Acorn Street and along the Garden’s iconic pond. Despite living in the Pacific Northwest, Cebca and Joe ended up with the most Boston-ey wedding photos I can imagine haha! The couple’s genuine love for one another shone throughout the entire day and I was honored to be part of it. Congratulations to this LOVELY couple!

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.
Hayden’s homey newborn session | Pittsford, New York
Posted on October 25, 2018
It is always such a treat to photograph a brand new baby! Something about the scrunchy toes and peach fuzz hair makes my heart so happy. It was such a joy to spend some time with Chrissy and Doug and their beautiful new baby, Hayden. So happy for this new family of three!
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!
Jessica & Joseph – Blissful Meadows Golf Club, Uxbridge, Massachusetts Wedding

We had so much fun at Jessica and Joseph’s beautiful wedding at Blissful Meadows Golf Club in Uxbridge. The weather was a bit iffy with bursts of rain scattered throughout the day, but we got a nice break in the weather just in time to go outside for the couple’s portraits! I was so glad we had the chance to enjoy the grounds as we captured some romantic images of the bride and groom. Jessica and Joseph were so great to photograph because they were brimming with happiness and joy! Congratulations to this sweet pair!
