I am Larry Spencer

Over that last 24 years, I’ve documented events all over our great city. From Severance Hall and Wade Oval Park, to downtown Cleveland and the Flats, I’ve become intimately familiar with the beauty of every corner of the city.

Other than my son’s, Elliot and Simon, there is nothing more important to me than making my clients look their best and documenting their day as uniquely and as beautifully as possible. Combining classic posing that you come to expect with wedding photography with candid, photojournalistic pictures that reflect the genuine moments that always happen on a wedding day. My goal is to take truthful pictures that make you feel those moments every time that you view them. 

 I’ve been awarded the distinction as a “Master Photographer” from the Professional Photographers of America and have obtained numerous professional photographic awards. One of the most experienced photographers in Ohio, I am an expert in every type of lighting which will ensure that, no matter where you decide to have your day, I can handle it deftly.

I cannot say enough kind words about Larry. I'm not big on taking pictures and never have been even as a child. He moves efficiently and has a demeanor that feels more like you're taking pictures with a friend. Relaxed and easy going nature is my kind of speed and Larry met that over leaps and bounds. The pictures themselves were nothing short of magical. What I appreciate the most is that while we did have some arranged pictures, he also employed candid photos as well. I believe people are most photogenic when they are behaving naturally. Larry moved like Batman. He was in the shadows, then you saw him and just as quick he was gone, having taken a wonderful picture already. We met with him several times and he emphasized over and over again, "it's your day, make it fun and special". I almost wish I could do the entire experience all over again. Trust in him, take the risk! You won't be disappointed. I feel like not only did we hire the right person, but also made a friend. I'm honored to have had him for one of the most special days of my life. Cheers Larry! You are truly the best!!!

Larry is an amazing photographer! He knows how to capture the essence of the moment and has great creative vision to make it unique. When looking for photographers, I was most concerned with someone who could capture us well given some dim lighting situations since we both have darker skin. He did not disappoint! Also, the candids he captured of our family and friends were some of my favorites too. Our wedding reception was outside on a fall evening. It was dark right after dinner and it was absolutely beautiful and even more memorable because of the amazing pictures Larry captured. In addition, We love the photo book he made for us. It's laid out so beautifully and is such a wonderful keepsake. I could go on and on. He's such a pro and so easy to work with.

Spencer accompanied us through the process of our engagement pictures, another surprise session before the big day. He was able to capture moments I was not able to see myself and being able to reflect back on the day in those pictures is a way my husband and I can always remember the day even more in depth. The genuine artistic flair he brings allows Spencer to find the right moments and capture them beautifully. He did my aunts wedding 15 years ago, and mine this October (2024) Safe to say my family loves his work and enjoy his work very much !

"The Photos were SPECTACULAR!"

“The photos were spectacular. I dare anyone to find anyone better than this photographer. He is a master at his craft, energetic, creative, professional and kind. I wholeheartedly recommend Spencer Photography for all occasions. We won’t go anywhere else going forward.”

"His work was extraordinary"

“Larry did both of my daughters weddings within 18 months. His work was extraordinary for both events! He made each event different and unique. The memories that were captured on each of these special days will be with us forever. He just doesn’t capture the day, he captures the emotion of the day. Most of my friends are awed by any photo I show them.”

Get In Touch

I’m excited to hear from you! Your interest in Spencer Photography is greatly appreciated. I document a very limited number of weddings per year so that my clients can have an exceptional experience.  Once you submit the contact form, I can let you know if I have your date available. 

Being able to discuss your wedding in detail, and ensuring that we are a good fit for each other is essential. So, the next step in the process is to arrange a time so speak on the phone with each other so that we can get to know each other better.
