Karl was great to work with. We got married at the Santa Barbara courthouse and Karl knew exactly the locations that would give the best shots. He was on time, very professional, and mainly fun to work with! Karl is very accommodating on requests. Make sure you communicate any specific photos you want.

About Karl Larsen Photography
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 26 years. I worked for many publications, including Rollingstone Magazine, FHM and Playboy and have covered very special events, such as the Grammys and The Oscars. Although, as of lately to be close to my son, I do Headshots and portraits out of my garage studio or portraits on location at a park or on the beach. I also enjoy doing weddings and events. I’ve been featured on many TV shows and podcasts as such as fuse music battle of the bands and even the Howard Stern show.

We couldn’t have asked for a better engagement photographer! From the very beginning, he was genuinely excited to help plan the surprise and went above and beyond to make the big reveal unforgettable. He came up with a creative plan to stay completely hidden until the perfect moment, and it worked flawlessly — I had no idea he was there until after I popped the question! The photos turned out absolutely stunning and captured every bit of emotion and surprise from that moment. He has such a great eye for lighting and detail, and he made us feel comfortable and natural the whole time. Beyond the beautiful pictures, his enthusiasm and thoughtfulness made the experience so special. If you’re looking for someone in Santa Barbara who truly cares about making your engagement unique and memorable, I can’t recommend him enough!
I had a great photo shoot with Karl. In about an hour, he took many photos inside his studio and outdoors, capturing a natural backdrop that complemented the photos well. I received all the photos a couple of days after working with Karl and had a big selection to choose from.
Karl shot my son’s wedding in August and did a really great job. So many pictures and such wonderful moments captured beautifully. I am so grateful that he was available and accommodating on such short notice.
Karl, did an excellent job capturing the surprise proposal for my fiancée and I. We had initially planned to meet earlier and capture the sunset but an accident on PCH caused us to be late. Karl was super patient and understanding. Although it was dark, he still managed to capture great photos.
Karl was amazing! Great communication throughout the proposal process and extremely professional. He was very responsive and answered any questions/requests in a very timely manner. Plus the photos turned out amazing. Would recommend him and his services without hesitation for anybody in the Los Angeles/SoCal area
Karl is an absolute rock star! From the very beginning, he was responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me pull off a once-in-a-lifetime moment. I was planning a surprise proposal to my girlfriend, and Karl went above and beyond answering every message and phone call right away, helping me plan the perfect setup, and capturing absolutely stunning photos during a gorgeous sunset shoot. What really stood out was his dedication and flexibility as he even played along and pretended not to know me so the surprise wouldn’t be spoiled! His direction during the shoot was smooth, natural, and fun, which made us feel comfortable and helped bring out some truly magical shots. If you’re looking for someone who brings heart, talent, and professionalism to your special moments, Karl is your guy. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Karl was very professional and really kind. We loved how our pictures turned out and it wouldn’t have been possible without his generosity and overall professionalism. Would highly recommend him. Thank you again Mr. Karl.
