WHAT makes
me DIFFERENT
FROM the rest?
At Parky's Pics Photography, I have a unique approach to photographing my clients. It’s a process I have been crafting for the past 11 years! Your wedding is more than just a wedding day — it’s an intimate, once-in-a-lifetime adventure that deserves to be captured in a way that is magical, timeless, and completely you. Whether it’s a sunrise on a cliff, a hidden forest waterfall, or a quiet beach at golden hour, I specialize in creating images that feel dreamy, vibrant, and unforgettable. Here are a few ways I am different from the rest!
Help every step of the way
From your initial contact to the album delivery — I will help you through ever step of the process. Your wedding experience with me is stress-free, fun, and unforgettable. I guide you every step of the way — from choosing locations to planning the perfect timing for light — so you can focus on being present with each other. The goal is to create images that not only capture your love, but also tell your story in a way that feels cinematic, vibrant, and timeless.
Dreamy Locations & Magical Light
From dramatic skies to soft golden-hour glow, I use natural light, off-camera flash, and thoughtful compositions to highlight the colors, textures, and emotions that make your day special. I can incorporate elements like smoke, fog, or backlit landscapes to add drama and depth, giving your photos a truly magical, editorial quality.
Weddings are about celebrating your love without distractions, and I’m here to document the moments that matter most — the laughter, the quiet glances, the adventure, and the joy that’s uniquely yours. My approach is candid, artful, and intentional, ensuring your images feel authentic while still looking cinematic and elevated.
Your Love, Your Story
Vibrant, Magical Images
My images are bold, vibrant, and full of color , sprinkled with a little bit of magic. — designed to stand out and feel alive. The result is a colorful, elevated look that feels modern, confident, and anything but ordinary. These are images meant to be noticed — timeless enough to last, yet vibrant enough to reflect your personality and energy right now.
You get to be YOU
It is so very important to me that the true you shines through in your photos! Your wedding is one of the most special days of your life, and it deserves images that spark joy, capture emotion, and make your hearts race every time you see them. You deserve the best — let’s make magic together.

I believe in
How do we book you?
Yay!! To officially lock in your date, I just need a signed contract + retainer. Once that’s done, you’re officially on my calendar and we start planning all the fun details!
Can we include elements like smoke, fog, or backlighting?
Absolutely! These elements add drama and cinematic quality to your photos, creating images that feel elevated and magical.
Why should we choose you?
Because I’m not just there to take photos—I’m there to make you feel comfortable, seen, and completely yourselves. The magic you see in my photos? That comes from how you feel in the moment.
When will we receive our images?
You’ll receive your fully edited, high-resolution images within 4 to 6 weeks!
What type of payments do you accept?
I accept major credit and debit cards, checks, Venmo, and cash. Half of your collection is due immediately upon booking your scheduled session as a retainer.. This ensures that your date is yours only and not open for any other clients. The remaining balance of your payment is split into 2 installments. One is due 3 months before your wedding date, and the final payment will be due one month before your wedding day.
What about photos with my pet or things from my fave pastime?
Yes, yes, and yes. This is your session! If those things are important to you, we will include them in your session. Please be sure to mention them prior to your session so we can plan accordingly.
You literally made our wedding!
You were the best part of our day. Your photos are the best memento we will have in our lives. We can't express what your photos mean to us! Lots of tears!
