Karl was an excellent photographer at our wedding. He was also recommended by friends of ours. We enjoyed his out of the box approach. He has a quick thinking journalistic and sporadic style which makes his photos very exciting and not the usual boring wedding photos you may typically see. He was non stop action and never taking a break. Always catching you off guard, which are always the best photos. Then when we looked back at our pictures and we were like Wow, Karl got that shot too! Karl even took the time to sit with us and edit our most favorite pictures from the wedding. We highly recommend Karl for your wedding event. You will be very happy. - Jeff and Hadassah Cohen, Henderson, NV

Karl Larsen Photography was the best decision we made for our wedding. Karl is both good at putting you at ease and creative when it comes to composing beautiful shots. From helping us round out our short list when we were planning, to capturing the most unexpected and magical moments of the wedding, he took care of us on our important day with kindness and professionalism. Now we have kids and we’ve continued to call on him to capture our most cherished moments. - Lucinda Brown, Studio City, CA

Karl Larsen Photography exceeded our expectations with respect to pricing, responsiveness, and artistry. Karl was such a comfort to us all day with his patient demeanor while moments unfolded, and his creativity was evident when we saw our final photographs.

I couldn't be more thrilled with the entire experience of working with Karl Larsen. From the moment we began planning, it was evident that Karl Larsen was dedicated to creating a customized plan tailored specifically to our vision. One of the standout features of working with Karl Larsen was the level of customization he offered. He took the time to understand our preferences, style, and the unique aspects of our wedding. From there, he crafted a plan that exceeded our expectations, seamlessly incorporating everything from the rehearsal dinner to a specialized photo shoot for my bachelorette party. This personalized approach truly made our experience feel one-of-a-kind.
- Angela and Tony Crochet, Spring, TX

I’ll never forget how wonderful my Palm Springs wedding was in part to Karl Larsen’s photojournalism. Karl’s easy going manner and complete expertise and agility with his camera made me, my groom, and family totally at ease. His eye as a celebrity photographer creates naturalistic yet dramatic pictures – never hokey, never staged. You’ll look and feel like a star. One of my most cherished momentos is the black and white photo he took of our ceremony kiss – it completely captured the moment and is permanently on display.
