Larisa Shorina Photography

mera shy couple. We also took wedding photos at Dumbo and she was amazing at capturing the most beautiful backdrop and wasn't shy asking strangers to move out of our frame. My guests still rave about our wedding photos and everyone was so happy with how our photos came out. I had the pleasure of working with her during our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. Best decision we ever made going with Larisa!

that made my whole family cry. My husband and I aren't huge photo people, and she knew exactly how to work with us to make us feel comfortable. I'd recommend in a heartbeat to anyone!

like we did on our Wedding Day. Larisa isn't a wedding photographer, she's a visionary and an artist. We had ideas of what we wanted - Larisa brought our vision to life, but then expanded our ideas into a masterpiece of our best memories. With any person who is helping on a Wedding Day, there's a fine line between being efficient and focusing only on the task in hand. Larisa perfectly balanced our list of wants with her expertise of what we hadn't thought of. She put us at ease. Instead of being concerned about the right moments being captured, we felt like we had another supporter removing obstacles. Her joyful disposition, paired with her professionalism, served only to enhance our celebration.

are just gorgeous! I cannot stress enough how amazing her work is, and you should also know that she is an incredibly kind, thoughtful, professional, and fun person to work with. From the first time we met over Zoom, my husband and I knew we would be comfortable having her be such a big part of our day. She was sweet, patient, reliable, organized, and efficient - everything you want in your wedding photographer and more! If you're hoping to find someone to document the best day of your life with attention to detail, kindness, and unheard of talent, Larisa is your person. We cannot recommend her enough.

nd and I are both camera shy, and she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. The photos she took were beautiful and I could not be any happier with how they came out! I highly recommend Larisa- you will not be disappointed!!

ort our big day in everyway. Larisa is poised, professional and continuously focused on our Brooklyn festivities even though she had consecutives events leading up to and after our wedding - truly impressive (I don't know how she does it). As a couple we are very laid back and didn't give her much direction and her imagery turned out beautifully. With her site visits and keen eye, Larisa knew exactly what to suggest for us. She captured our wedding day from beginning to end - yes, she was STILL snapping photos when the lights came on and had begun the day with us getting ready. We couldn't have asked for more! Larisa is an incredible photographer and a wonderful partner to have when celebrating any important moments. We cannot recommend her enough!

e did. Amid the stress of planning a pandemic wedding, Larisa was calm, insightful, and communicative. Larisa brainstormed locations and a route for our first-look photos, and, on the day, helped walk us through portrait shots — we’re a bit camera shy, and she made us feel natural and comfortable. She was a wonderful presence throughout the ceremony and reception as well, present but subtle. We just received the photos, and they are gorgeous. We couldn’t be happier!

y shot this year with our son and couldn’t be happier. Look forward to working with her again next year!

ng etc, without being pushy at all. Neither of us is particularly good at getting our photos taken, but she made the process fun, easy, and comfortable! We really enjoyed hanging out with her :) Our plans changed a couple of times due to COVID, and she was nothing but graceful, kind and accommodating with every update. We cannot wait to have her photograph more major events in our lives, and if you’re reading this, you should too!

absolutely talented!!! 10/10 would recommend

of the photos. She captured every moment of the evening so well. Another thing I loved about was that Dasha made everything so comfortable for me and my husband when we were taking photos of just two of us before the guests arrived. She gave us detailed directions and the end results are great, I can't choose which ones to print because all are amazing ! Leading up to the wedding, Larisa checked in couple of times and worked with me regarding the timeline, which I also really appreciated. She is thorough yet flexible. All in all, Larisa and Dasha are amazing, I will definitely find any excuse to work with them again in the future.

day to go and took the time to get to know us. The day of our wedding, she was punctual, focused, respectful, adapted to every situation with such grace and made an extraordinary effort to make us, our families and our guests feel comfortable. She was an incredibly calming presence to have around and her temperament is perfect for what can be a very stressful day. Larisa is such a talented photographer with a great eye, excellent instinct and her photos just blew us away. She truly documented the day, capturing such beautiful moments of us and our guests, we sincerely could not be happier. We plan on having her photograph literally every future event in our lives and couldn’t recommend her enough!

ago, which is how I found her and I'm so lucky I did!!

sly discussed shoot itinerary, she was so friendly, and fun and calming on the biggest day of our lives, that was probably the most important takeaway for us. On top of of all that, the photos we received are absolutely stunning and better than we could’ve ever imagined. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Such amazing shots and we are so thankful to forever have these memories in NYC.

option for us. We were looking for a photographer that could capture candid, not posed, natural photos of us as a couple enjoying the day and of our friends and family. We could not have been happier with the results. She managed to capture NYC and us enjoying our day and we felt so relaxed in her company her direction and support when shooting the photos was fantastic. Most importantly the end images were beautifully presented, subtlety executed and really captured the sense of occasion in a flawless manner. Thank you Larisa!

has an uncanny ability to connect with her subjects and make them feel comfortable. The result is always stunning, natural photos that will last you a lifetime. Look no further, Larisa is the best one out there!

hat Larissa had a good energy and most importantly was someone we could feel comfortable with on our special day. She was that and more! From the moment we met her, her energy and aura was beautiful. She was super friendly, easy to talk to and it was obvious that she is passionate about her work. She asked us questions about how we met, things we like to do as a couple and interests and we could tell she was genuinely interested in learning more about us and our dynamic as a couple. After getting to know her a bit, we were even more certain than ever that she was the person we wanted to capture our special day. She is genuine, warm and her personality makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. Our wedding day was beyond anything we could imagine. From the beginning of the day through the entire night, she was attentive and made everything so organic and natural. She captured photos of us just being who we are and needless to say, these photos came out absolutely stunning. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t only extremely talented but genuinely such a good energy to be around. I look over these photos at least once a day and I’m immediately transported back to our favorite day. She captured every little moment and most importantly it looks organic. You can tell it wasn’t too “posey” or staged which is exactly what we were looking for. I can’t say enough good things about Larissa. Not only have we found the best photographer to capture our wedding and hopefully other special life moments to come, but we’ve made a life long friend. We are forever grateful and couldn’t be happier!!

wanted professional photographs to capture this special milestone. We spent 3 hours with Larisa, taking (socially-distant) photos in iconic NYC locations. Larisa was absolutely incredible! She immediately put my husband and I at ease, providing direction when needed, but also allowing us to be natural. She then delivered the most amazing portfolio of photos, and her turnaround time was very fast. The end result exceeded all of my expectations, and several friends have commented that the photos look like they should be in a magazine. I would highly recommend Larisa for her professional yet personable demeanor, adaptability/flexibility in helping us work through a new plan when world events impacted our wedding, and the high quality of her work.

eived both our engagement photos and wedding photos, I was thrilled. It felt like a love letter to NYC, which is exactly what I hoped for. She captured genuine emotions between my fiance and I with the most beautiful backdrop. I love having these photos for decades to come.

ding, she was such a delight ... she made us feel at ease and we had so much fun doing the pre-wedding shoot and family photos. When we got the final photos we were absolutely thrilled. She captured the joy of the day, the smiling faces of our guests, and the fun of the occasion. Nothing cheesy or contrived - just beautiful shots of us and our family and friends. Thank you Larisa!!!

ndid and natural photos, Larisa is THE photographer you need to hire. Even if we felt awkward, Larisa was able to capture the perfect moment for us when we were genuinely laughing. During the wedding, aside from the family photos, I didn't notice her. She was like a ninja documenting every sweet moment for us. Everyone complimented her on her professionalism. When we didn't know where we should take our couple photos, she picked out the best and most beautiful secluded areas for us. During the shoot, she made us feel at ease and gave us tips on how to pose. Larisa is definitely talented and I can't imagine anyone that will regret hiring her.

. Larisa is professional and talented. She carefully listened what we think and what we like patiently. I introduced her to some of my friends for family and couple photoshoot and everyone enjoyed the photoshoot and happy about result. I would love to recommend her anyone who need any kinds of photoshoot.

ty to capture candid, sweet moments. We met her on the day of our engagement photo shoot and had such an amazing experience working with her, we very soon after hired her to photograph our wedding day. Larisa is absolutely amazing to work with! She is such a lovely, kind, genuine person who made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process which made it that much more enjoyable! We couldn't be happier with her professionalism and vision! She is so talented and will go to any length to capture the perfect photo. For our wedding photos, she delivered them in such thoughtful packaging and we are so pleased with how they came out. She captured the day perfectly! You can really see the love and joy in each and every photo and we will be sure to cherish them for years to come. Our friends and family have also consistently told us that our photos are amazing look and belong in a magazine which is a true testament to Larisa's eye and her natural talent. I highly recommend you hire Larisa if you're looking for an amazing photographer for your next engagement or wedding photo shoot! She's truly talented and an absolute pleasure to work with!

zing portraits, and has an eye for #aesthetic details and priceless dance floor moments. The results are simply gorgeous—we really wanted a "natural but still dreamy” style and were beyond thrilled with all of our hundreds of photos. Highly recommend Larisa!

was helpful during our whole planning process when I asked questions about timelines and plans. Larisa sent us 25 sneak peak pictures while we were still on our honeymoon, making us so excited for the pictures that were to come. On the day of the wedding, Larisa and her assistant did not miss a beat with taking pictures. We are happy with all of our pictures and have gotten tons of compliments from our loved ones. I am just waiting for the next time I need to hire a photographer so that we can spend more time with Larisa!

natural and fun. She responded very quick during the quotation process.by email. She is such a lovely, fun and talented person. She is so easy to work with and we enjoyed the whole process. We got a lot of compliments from our friends and family for the photos. We strongly recommend Larisa as she is so perfect and you will not regret if you hire her!!! 😍

nd her photos speak for her high quality work. I’m so lucky to have found her in time for my engagement plus wedding photos and couldn’t be happier with the photos she took. She actually puts in extra effort and time to get the perfect shot. More impressed cause she covered a desi wedding like a pro. I highly recommend her as she truly made my day special for me! Larisa you rock!

e professional and an AMAZINGLY talented photographer!! It’s been two months since our ceremony and people are STILL complimenting the preview photos she sent us for our elopement announcement! We just received our complete photo package and the pictures are perfect, PERFECT! She truly captured the love and energy that was felt on our wedding day! If you’re in the process of shopping for a photographer to shoot your wedding, look no further! Stop right here and ask this woman if she’s available ! You do not want to pass on a opportunity to work with her! :) SHE’S AWESOME!! Thank you again!!

! myself and my husband felt so at ease around her, it was just like being out with a friend😊 I couldn't be happier with our pictures from the day💕 Exactly what we wanted💗 10/10 X

ial. I would highly recommend Larisa for anyone getting married anywhere in the world! She is the absolute best. When I booked Larisa she was quick to response to emails and really easy to reach with any enquiries. I found Larisa through Instagram as her previous wedding posts caught my eye, and stood out to me the most. I couldn’t be happier with how all our wedding pictures turned out and all the effort Larisa put in on the day. By the time we finished up she must have been exhausted, we walked the length of the city! But we got in all my favourite locations and nothing was too much to ask from Larisa. This lady is in a league of her own when it comes to her profession. We often say how lucky we were that she was available the day we happily eloped. Thank you, Larisa for capturing our day so perfectly.

s. We were planning our wedding from abroad so all of our vendors were recommendations from family and friends, including our photographer, Larisa. First, we connected via email and then my fiance and I met her in person when we were home over the holidays. Right away, I knew her relaxed (but very professional!) demeanor would be perfect for us. Larisa was awesome on the day. She showed up early, she made everyone feel comfortable while she took all the 'getting ready' shots (and made everyone comfortable during portrait shots as well), and she was like ninja during the ceremony and reception! (Meaning- she blends in like a pro to get the most natural candid shots possible)....Not to worry, she was still visible for us to grab her for group pictures:) I had complete faith she would get all of our special moments but when the photos arrived we were blown away! We loved the package and the personalized flash drive as well as the incredible prints... Everything was just amazing and it was so special to relive the day. We highly recommend her for your big day. Thank you Larisa!

irst and only photographer we met with—we got a great vibe from her during the meet and greet and booked her right away for both our wedding day and our engagement session. We couldn't be happier with her professionalism and vision! She has a real talent for finding the perfect lighting and capturing emotions from multiple angles that seem almost superhuman for just one photographer. She also knows how to direct couples to make them feel less awkward and posed. Larisa is assertive and fearless—risking her life on multiple occasions in incoming traffic to get the best photos! The wedding photos took about 10 weeks to be edited and delivered to us, but they were definitely worth the wait! I can't stop flipping through them and reliving our magical wedding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Larisa for any occasion—Hire her now!

would have captured the day perfectly, and most importantly the emotion of it all!! We are so grateful for her work on our wedding this past September, and have pictures that we can look at for years to come, and relive each moment and each feeling over and over again. Her pictures helped us remember the day, and you can easily feel the love in each capture. Larisa herself is so warm and down to earth, and makes you feel confident in her abilities and comfortable, from the moment you meet her. Her photos are magazine quality, full of true emotion, and not your typical wedding shots. We will cherish them forever! Thank you so much Larisa. xoxo

have consistently told us that our photos look like they belong in a magazine -- which is a true testament to Larisa's eye and her ability to gently direct you to always get an amazing shot (Note: my husband and I are NOT naturals in front of the camera. Quite the opposite). On top of that, she is a genuinely lovely person and so easy to work with even in high pressure situations and tight timelines. She overdelivered and we are obsessed with our photos. She captured our day perfectly. I'm a fan for life and will continue to follow her work. She's just so good!!!

I took any professional photos. Larisa was prompt and made us feel very comfortable. We started in Central Park and made our way downtown near West Village. Throughout the session, she was very professional and friendly, such that we never felt that there was any rush. The photos came out extraordinary, and we were very happy with the outcome. At our Wedding day, we opted to have Larisa and a second photographer for the ceremony in Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Larisa was with us the entire day from 1 - 10 PM, starting in the Bronx and ending up in Brooklyn. The wedding day was quite busy, but Larisa was on top of everything. She arrived on time and again, she performed amazingly, making use of all the little time that we had. The photos in Larisa's portfolio capture well the style that she has. It's candid, yet very elegant and natural. Overall, we highly recommend Larisa, and will absolutely be recommending her to our friend in the future.

e Manhattan bridge—these everyday NY locations were transformed into striking backdrops for our portraits beforehand. Throughout the ceremony and reception, Larisa captured all the action and we relive the evening through her photos all the time.

Larisa is calm, kind, detail oriented, hard working and extremely talented. She made us feel very comfortable while taking pictures throughout the city. We absolutely love our wedding photos and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

ore candid images she took of us during the ceremony and Reception. Larisa was always on time for all our meetings and presented a gracious and realized attitude throughout the wedding day, I can't recommend her more to shoot your wedding.

she also picked out some areas that we've never thought about. The finished photo are amazing! The control of the natural lighting, the composition and the ability to capture THE moment , she got them all. We loved everything we got.

ic and talented. HIRE HER.

magical and dreamy her photos are and she really delivered that for us too. I am thrilled we chose her. It was important to capture what our wedding day felt like, more than it was to pose for a lot of portraits. With Larisa, we were able to get both. In the lead up to the wedding day, she was caring and flexible in ways that I didn't find in among other wedding vendors. And on the wedding day, she was a calming presence, which I so appreciated.

tion us well, to encourage us to be spontaneous throughout, and to give us the space to explore what felt most authentic to our relationship together. I was knocked off my feet by the results, which were more stunning and unique than I had even hoped for. All of our friends and family have been complimenting us on our photos since we shared them, and that is all thanks to Larisa's talent!
