Larry Stanley Photography

I've been called a lot of names in my life! Mostly good names! The most meaningful are those used by my clients to describe my work! INTUITIVE, IMPROVISING, RESPONSIVE, PERCEPTIVE and my favorite, COMFORTABLE! (Google Larry Stanley Photography and read them for yourself!) I got my first camera at 5 years old. That was the beginning! My father gave me the gift of a German 120mm roll film camera and a small black and white enlarger. With great patience, he would help me process and print the images I captured. By the time I was 7, I was making photos on my own, capturing my friends and family. Out of the basement darkroom came small glimpses of my emerging future; prints that showed an appreciation for the constantly arising visual world around me. My lifelong passion for capturing the beautiful and poignant moments of life had been born. Interest continued to emerge in photography and art throughout my youth. Through a circuitous route of living, studies, and travel in Missouri, Colorado, California, Hawaii, Australia, the Philippines, China, and Tibet, I have made my home in Livingston, Montana; still constantly in search of "beauty. as it occurs naturally". I have traveled around the United States and beyond, photographing for wedding clients that value my unique style of imagery. Destination weddings include New Hampshire, California, the Island of Grand Bahamas, and the beautiful Hill Country near Concan, Texas. Today, I photograph all over Montana, 'known as Big Sky Country' from Glacier National Park to Yellowstone National Park.
