CAPTURING UNAPOLOGETICALLY UNREFINED MOMENTS.
un·re·fined (adjective): 1. still in the natural and original state or form.
Life is beautiful, complex, messy, perfectly imperfect. My mission, since the day I began pursuing photography, has never wavered - to take little snippets of this wonderful life and showcase them in a meaningful, purposeful, and organic way, and share them with you for you to cherish forever and always.
To be able to remember not only a moment in time, but the feeling you held in that moment, is so precious. In my opinion, that is my ultimate goal for each encounter, and it's a gift I hope to give to you.
Picture this: light and light-hearted, imperfect but delicate, bright, airy, natural. Done-up, with windswept hair. A flowy dress with sandy feet. If you can start to feel this coming together - we might just be the perfect fit.
GUIDED DOCUMENTARY-STYLE FOR YOUR CHERISHED MOMENTS.
My photography style is guided-documentary — rooted in capturing honest moments as they naturally unfold, while offering subtle direction to bring out genuine connection and ease. I aim to create a comfortable space where real emotions come through. Each image is edited with a timeless touch: clean, classic tones that stay true to the scene. The result is imagery that feels both artful and enduring — a visual narrative you’ll still love decades from now.
HI, I'M LARYSSA!
...however, my nearest and dearest call me Lars, so please feel free! I'm a photographer living in the beautiful city of Victoria, British Columbia, with a focus on couples + weddings.
My loved ones can attest to the fact that I am a hopeless, heart-on-my-sleeve-wearing, rom-com-weeping, utter romantic at heart. I want to capture the unrefined, spontaneous, perfectly imperfect moments - those are the truest expressions of what it means to be you. Thank you so much for considering me to do so with you!
LOVE LETTERS

“Laryssa was our wedding photographer and did a fantastic job capturing such special memories! We were recommended her services from friends and are so glad she captured our wedding and engagement. She was easy to work with, supportive and communicated well throughout the process. The quality of her work speaks for itself - we love her coastal touch, light and natural editing style and detailed eye. Thank you Lars!!
