Welcome to the photographic galleries of Master Photographer Larry Nordwick and Creative Images photography. We offer photographic solutions for all of your wedding and portrait photography needs. My portrait and wedding photography can be as casual or formal as you would like it to be. I always try to create a fun atmosphere on a session. If we are all having a great time then the pictures are just that much better.
I love to create images of people that make them feel happy and alive and good about themselves. My work encompasses all the different aspects of people photography, from weddings, elopements, events, and other types of parties, to high school seniors, families, couples, and professional and corporate events. My sessions are casual and relaxed and I promise you will have a blast with me as we laugh and talk about your life.
My mission is always to leave you with the best photos you have ever seen of yourself and the best experience you have ever had with a photographer. If you like my work please send us an email or give us a call and we would love to show you what is possible with your session.

My passion for photography started when I was accidentally enrolled in a photo class as a Freshman at Salinas High School.
I quickly became the main photographer for the school paper and yearbook.
Not long after, I was sent out to shoot my first wedding for a photography studio in Salinas when I was only 16 years old.
I had only been to 4 weddings with my boss for training.
I was given 5 rolls of VPS 220 film and a list of shots that had to be taken.
Talk about being nervous!
By the time I was 19 years old I had photographed 100 weddings and ventured out on my own to open Creative Images.

A favorite wedding of 2019 - Christine and Michael getting married and choosing Creative Images as their wedding photographer was such a joy for me.
This was one of those weddings that felt like family.
I have known both the bride's family and groom's family for over 30 years - I photographed the bride's parents wedding many years ago, Christine's senior photos, and many of her aunts and uncles weddings, as well as having worked about 400 weddings with the groom's father when he was the.

Holman Ranch is such a magical venue.
It's one of the few areas in the county where you have dedicated, separate areas for all of your wedding events.
The ceremony site looks out at the amazing Santa Lucia Mountain range.
The Stone Terrace serves as the perfect cocktail hour spot - not to mention it's a photographers dream since the guests stay in the secluded area, and gives us fairly unlimited access to the ceremony veranda.
The Rose Patio is perfect for sit-down dinners for large.

Thank you for looking at our Elopement Photography!
Are you looking to elope on the Monterey Bay or Big Sur?
We live in such a beautiful area that we see our local clients and couples from around the country love Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur as places to celebrate.
For us, elopements are our favorite type of session to photograph.
Often, it is just the couple, maybe a friend or two, and it's often the most romantic way to celebrate the love between two people.
Not sure where to start?
Call our studio 831-649-5443 and talk to our studio manager Elyse - she will explain your different options, location ideas, vendors, and anything else you need to know.
