About ParksPictures Photography

Michael Parks

Owner and Lead Photographer

Hi! I'm the owner and lead photographer at ParksPictures. I am passionate about getting to know each client and personally capturing their uniquely beautiful wedding story. My clients are my focus. I value serving others and creating art that brings a little more light into our world. I live in Charlotte with my wife, two daughters, and french bulldog Cletus.

I'm a Certified Professional Photographer (1 of only 4 in Charlotte), winner of the 2021 Couples Choice Award, and published in Photoshop User's Dec 2020 issue. (personal information protected by Zola) ranked me as a Top Wedding Photographer in Charlotte. I earned my bachelor's at Virginia Tech and MBA at UNC Chapel Hill.

Stop your photographer search and hire Mike ASAP!!! We hired Mike for our wedding, and he was literally the perfect man for the job. He was incredibly helpful, hardworking, made sure our interests were put first, the photos were stunning, and most importantly, he is a genuine, compassionate person who wanted the best for us.

Mike and team were a DREAM to work with! Made us feel special and cared for on our day. We happened to have last minute rain spoil our outdoor ceremony and Mike was able to quickly adapt and pivot to accommodate. He has this easy-going style that puts everyone at ease to relax for the best pictures! Couldn't have imaged anyone better to capture our special day.

We’ve worked with Michael at ParksPictures for many years and our brides have never been disappointed (nor have we). He captures the brides and our venue perfectly. Trusting a wedding day photographer can be difficult, but with Michael - he puts your mind at ease and delivers outstanding quality!
HIRE THIS ONE!

He was literally the coolest dude we could’ve had as a photographer. He didn’t sweat under pressure, gave us tons of ideas, and edited them like a champ! Best photographer for your special day, no doubt.

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

While not required, and depending on the size and scope of your wedding, a second phootgrapher can be a benefit. I offer two great packages that include a second photographer.

Absolutely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible.

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, all your photos will be ready about 3-4 weeks after your wedding. I put a great detail of time and care into editing the raw files from your wedding into high-quality JPEGs, and this requires several dates of dedicated editing time.

You can expect about 50 quality images per hour of photographing. Keep in mind, this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

In my 10 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant.
