MEET YOUR NEW FAVORITE DUO
We are a husband and wife duo, Larissa & Adam, documenting love through photography and film. Our story began when Larissa, who had always been passionate about capturing memories, started photographing couples in love. Around the same time, she met Adam, whose lifelong passion for movies and storytelling naturally complemented her own.
​
In 2025, our dreams intertwined, and L&A Photo and Film was born. Together, we pour our hearts into every wedding and session, blending Larissa’s timeless photography with Adam’s cinematic videography. Our approach is both editorial and documentary, giving you the beauty of magazine-worthy images alongside the candid, real moments that make your love story unique.
For us, it’s more than photo and video, it’s about connection, emotion, and preserving the magic of your story for generations to come. Two hearts, one goal: to celebrate and capture love in its most authentic form.

WORDS FROM THE COUPLES
We absolutely loved working with Larissa! From the very first conversation, her friendly and welcoming personality drew us in. We’re not “photo people,” so feeling comfortable with our photographer was really important to us, and Larissa made that so easy! She always presented information in such a professional and organized way, which gave us so much confidence throughout the process.
Our engagement session was such a blast, and we’ll never forget how open she was to our idea of shooting at an ice skating rink (on a freezing day!). When it came to our wedding day, we couldn’t have been happier with both the experience and the beautiful photos. Having Larissa, her husband as videographer, and the second photographer there made everything run so smoothly. We truly can’t recommend Larissa enough.
We love her and can’t wait to see what’s next from her!
