Larissa is an absolutely amazing photographer.

Larissa is an absolutely amazing photographer. From the time that we asked her to take photos of our wedding, she was communicative, on the ball, and attentive to our needs. The day of, she was encouraging, fun, in the spirit, and a good sport as we trekked through the snow to execute our shared vision. Our pictures turned out awesome. She took beautiful wedding pictures of us in the middle of the forest, and was able to capture the light and the landscape. They came back better than we could have hoped for. We strongly recommend her. She is conscientious and tuned in to specific needs and dreams. I can’t imagine anyone you’d want more to take pictures of your big day.

Words cannot fully express how wonderful Larissa and Trevor were at capturing all the moments during our special day. Their differing styles compliment one another perfectly. Their attention to detail and reassuring nature helped calm our nerves throughout the whole day. I think the most nerve wracking part of finding photographers is not being able to go and pick up the pictures that are supposed to represent one of the most important days of your lives because you are left disappointed with the sneak peak that some photographers offer. Have no fear with this duo because they'll supersede all your expectations two-fold! We are so pleased with their work and the whole experience. It was thorough, compromising and one we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Call yourself lucky to have stumbled across such wonderful people if you have the pleasure of working with them! Thanks again for everything and including our little man during it all :)

PS if you want an amazing album to alongside the day, they will help you with that too! Absolute quality to last a lifetime!

Thank you Larissa & Trevor

Their photos were nothing short of brilliance! Trevor and Larissa are amazing at what they do. They were very easy to work with and so creative with their shots. When we go through our photos, we still marvel at how unique and beautiful so many are! And they manage to capture those little moments that you miss in the hustle and bustle of your day. We would recommend Trevor and Larissa without hesitation!

Trevor and Larissa did such a fantastic job shooting our wedding! Not only did they capture the day beautifully, they were so wonderful to work with and totally kept us at ease. Throughout the day they were unobtrusive, but somehow managed to capture the most intimate moments of our wedding and we are so grateful. Looking back at our pictures we were able to fully relive the day through their candid style--all the laughter love and emotion was captured beautifully. Thanks again T + L!

Of all the vendors we chose for our wedding, Trevor and Larissa are definitely at the top of that list. We couldn't have found better photographers for our special day. It was important to us to have the combination of Larissa's fine arts background and Trevor's photojournalism. We love the way the photos tell the story of the day. They are very laid back and put us at ease during our engagement photo shoot. They were very professional and always quick to respond to emails. We were also very happy with the time it took to turn around both our engagement and wedding photos. We've received many compliments on our photos and will be recommending them to anyone in need of a wedding photographer.

We had met with a couple of other photographers before meeting Trevor and Larissa and the decision to contract with them was immediate. They are immensely proud and professional about their work without being precious, and are personable and fun to work with. They have a real sense of individuality in their photographic style, of course capturing the all important wedding shots but also managing to convey a vibrancy and sense of progression through the day. Add to that a real understanding to the other's work; they complement each other's different approach fantastically. One of the many positive aspects of using Trevor and Larissa was that you do get two interpretations (and angles!) of scenes, and yet they remain discrete while going about their work. This was a big plus for me as I really didn't want that paparazzi approach that can occur when there is more than one shooter.
Suffice to say we are delighted to have met them and recommend without hesitation. On such an important day they make you feel at ease, go about their business with minimal fuss and the results are stunning. Thank you both.

I don't think I can possibly say enough good things about these talented photographers. Both Trevor and Larissa were incredibly giving with their time throughout our entire wedding lead-up, making everything run smoothly. They were professional, friendly and always got back to us in a timely manner. Their enthusiasm for their craft is next to none, and having their mix of fine art and photojournalism led to more unique wedding documentation than I have seen with other photographers. This was something we wanted more than anything. Larissa always had useful tips when I needed them, from flowers to dresses, to colours, to lighting, relying on her large base of experience, and I'm sure all new brides need this more than anything while planning her big day! I cannot recommend them enough, you will not be disappointed!

There are so many wonderful things to say about Trevor and Larissa! We were very lucky to have this talented duo photograph both our engagement and wedding. We booked them while they were away traveling last year based solely on their exceptional portfolio and the lovely reviews from other couples. Although our initial correspondence was only through email, it was very easy to tell that they were personal and professional. When we met, we knew instantly that we had made the perfect choice. They are so easy to work with, super friendly, and very supportive. Above all this, they are both very talented! It was so nice to have two professional photographers, especially on the wedding day when we were able to have Trevor spend the morning with the boys and Larissa with the girls. They were a pleasure to have around on our big day, and made us both feel comfortable and special. We were so happy when we received our photos. They took some great posed pictures, but also focused on candid shots, which documented the special moments and all the details of our day. They did a perfect job capturing the love and excitement of our wedding - we will always cherish their beautiful and meticulous work. We would recommend Trevor and Larissa to any couple! We loved our pictures so much that my parents have booked them to do family photos, and my brother is using them for his wedding next summer. We can easily say that trusting Trevor and Larissa to document our wedding was one of the best choices we made!

Larissa and Trevor were one of the best parts of my wedding day. Somehow in their photos I look like me, but better than I ever thought possible.

Larissa has a fine arts background in photography, whereas her husband Trevor has a reportage background. They make a really great blend. The pictures of our friends and family are art. It is truly amazing.

They gave excellent client service - they were very flexible and accommodating, very professional, etc. They were great value for the money (we got an archival-quality DVD of all the photos -- over 1000 colour-corrected and printable -- to keep). Also, having two photographers at that price was really amazing. Trevor did pre-photos with my (now) husband, and Larissa did pre-photos with the girls. They try to tell the story of the day through the photos, so this part was really important.

On top of excelling at all the normal things a photographer does, Trevor and Larissa were wonderful people who brought an extra bit of happiness to our day. Having Larissa with the girls was like having another bridesmaid there, as opposed to someone I hardly knew. We were running late and I was starting to melt down from stress, but Larissa was incredibly sympathetic and calmed me right down. She was really lovely.

I really can't say enough good things about these two. Hire them. It will be one of the best decisions you will make about your wedding day.

Being a wedding coordinator in Southern California has given me the opportunity to work with many wonderful photographers. Larissa and Trevor are no exception to that. I was helping my sister-in-law plan her wedding back in Toronto, and searched high and low for a photographer for them who suited their style, but also my standards. When we came across the work of Larissa and Trevor, upon first impression, there was no question, we had to go with them. Not only does their work speak for itself, (with their modern perspective, amazing use of natural light, and ability to capture and encompass those "tender moments"), but they have an uncanny ability to be in multiple places simultaneously, working so incredibly fluidly and seamlessly together as a team. With hand signals or eye contact, they knew exactly what the other was doing, what lenses the other was shooting with, what angle -they were awesome. And on top of that they're really cool, down to earth people -totally friendly and professional. They are accommodating, easy to work with, and truly amazing at what they do. They are the epitome of true talent.

Thanks, Larissa and Trevor, for an awesome day. It was such a pleasure working with you, and it meant the world to our whole family to have you there. I hope to have the pleasure of working with you again!
