Bio: Larry studied photography with his father from the age of 5. Photography became his passion early in his years.

Bio: My passion for photography began as a child on hunting trips with my dad where many photos were taken. I attended the University of Montana, Bozeman where I obtained a degree in fine art, specializing in photography. I began shooting weddings over 15 years ago; embracing the photojournalism "true life" emotion of each individual event. In this time I have photographed over 500 weddings averaging 35 in a year's time. My wife of 10 years has come to share in my passion and we often times find ourselves shooting events together. Our true inspiration for lifestyle portraiture has come from our three amazing children. Photos come to life when your kids are the focus. We love our home in Montana and all it has to offer. Our other favorite place to photograph is our second home in Puerto Vallarta and Puerto Nuevo Mexico.
Favorite Destination Wedding Locations: Mexico and Caribbean

As the fourth largest state of land mass in the United States, Montana offers a diverse landscape for wedding location choices and for wedding photographs. On the western portion of the state lies a mountainous region that makes up a part of the Rocky Mountains, yet more than half the state is lined with prairies that make up the northern portion of the Great Plains. In addition to being a gateway to Yellowstone National Park, the Montana Rockies contain numerous winter and summer resorts, while areas in the eastern portion of the state still preserve the memories and feel of the Wild West. Glacier National Park sits as a gorgeous backdrop to the majestic beauty that Montana offers your wedding party and guests. Your wedding photographer will have no trouble shooting stunning wedding photographs as you stand underneath clouds that seem to lie on top of you in what’s known as “Big Sky” country. With all that and more, Montana offers a great deal of natural beauty and not so complicated living that will make for a peaceful, memorable and joyous wedding celebration.
