Exceptional Photography Team

D. Park was exceptional throughout every part of our wedding - from planning, to the day of, to after! The photos look exceptional and they were such a professional, creative, and fun team to work with. We couldn't have asked for more. D. Park comes with our highest recommendation!

Incredible Photogrpahers and Incredible people - I’ve never felt so taken care of every step of the way.

I ADORE D Park Studio. They came and shoot my SECOND wedding (yes, after shooting my first) and I felt so trusted in their hands. This could have been a weird situation but they were beyond professional and made me feel so comfortable. Not only that, this was a destination wedding and they were so great to travel with!! I’m very picky and I wanted to make sure I had people I trusted with me, and David and Drexelle fit the bill. They were there for us every step of the way and really think through all aspects of your event. Drex and David are knowledgeable, talented, creative, on trend and extremely kind people. They scouted locations, heard my wants and needs, and made sure to deliver. They impress me more and more every time I work with them and I can never go back. No one takes care of you like D Park does.

Their skill to capture such precious moments and make them last forever is so extraordinary. Thank you DPark for physically capturing the beautiful moments we will carry for a lifetime!

A Photographer Who Cares

I spent a lot of time shopping around for photographers and I'm SO GLAD I found D Park Studios. Drexelle will do anything to get the shot right. On my wedding day, I saw her standing on chairs, corralling the elderly, making funny faces at the ringer bearer and my flower boys to get their attention. on the floor to get different angles-- you name it! I love my photos and love my experience with Drexelle!

She is extremely organized and knows what she's doing. If I'm blessed enough to have children I will definitely be contacting her in the future for family photos! Thank you Drexelle! I love you!

Best photographer in Southern California

Drexelle made us feel so comfortable and natural while taking our photos- She’s warm, kind and incredibly talented. She has a way of creating and capturing the most beautiful and special moments. If you’re looking for a photographer I could not recommend a better photographer than Drexelle, I’m so happy I found her. We will continue to stay in touch with Drexelle and hire her over and over again to capture all of our special moments and milestones.

Beautiful Pictures/Videos, Lasting Memories

Absolutely LOVE having D. Park Studios as our wedding photographer and videographer.

Before the wedding, we've had several meetings going over the details so we were both on the same page in making sure we got the vision for the shots/videos that I wanted to get. The D. Park Studios team showed up to the tea ceremony early with their earpiece microphones and walkie talkies and communicated with each other where everyone was at. It was super professional the entire time and I absolutely loved that because with some videographers/photographers, you'll see them run up to each other asking questions. Why do that when you have a earpiece and microphone/walkie talkie? That's absolutely genius!

The D. Park Studios team captured our photos beautifully from the Vietnamese tea ceremony, getting ready photos, romantics, ceremony, reception, and everything in between. I was never nervous about the photos and videos with D. Park Studios and the wedding was super calming for me.

It's really rare to have a bride & groom remember their entire wedding and that's how you know we had amazing wedding vendors that didn't stress us out during our big day. The team at D. Park Studios made us feel super comfortable and took care of all of the photo/film logistics which let me tell you, is what you want especially on your wedding day.

If you're afraid to know how to pose for cameras, don't even worry because with the D. Park Studios team, you'll be taken care of the entire time. They have team members who will teach you how to pose and also have team members who are amazing at capturing candid photos too.

You're in such great hands with this photo/film team. I highly suggest hiring them for your wedding photo/film needs!!

turned this camera-shy couple into confident models! :)

Drexelle and the D. Park Studios team are SO amazing! They responded quickly to any questions we had and were sure to gather details about us to really make the engagement shoot our own. I was excited, but also a little nervous beforehand because I usually feel very awkward in front of the camera and definitely don't know how to pose myself. Turns out I had nothing to be worried about! Drexelle has a fun personality (we were naturally laughing the whole time), brought lots of positive energy, and gave clear directions on posing... and we even felt comfortable and confident doing so! I am amazed by how quickly she can visualize and execute the shots. It really maximizes the time and allows for a variety of photos in the end.

I am in love with our engagement photos and the way you made the colors POP! Thank you, D. Park Studios, for capturing our magical moments. We can't wait to see you again for the big day! :)

Perfection At Its Best

My wife and I had the honor of working with Drexelle for our 5 year reunion, however 2020 happened and over time it became out 8 year reunion but worth the wait. She kindly help the date for us, we kept it on Monday or Tuesday like we had it in 2020 so it was an apples to apples date. She made it work for us for scheduling but that's not even why she is great. Drex is amazing because she makes you feel comfortable infront of the camera. I was never worried about how I was going to look, I just focused on having a good time and being in the moment as a groom. She caught natural smiles and natural laughing with unbelievable lighting and framing. We went through all her photos that she shared with us and we couldn't figure out which one we wanted to frame the largest because there are SO many that are just works of art. She taught us to not focus on problem areas when looking at a picture of yourself but focus on the areas that you LOVE about yourself. It makes you appreciate so much more. However I must say, she did a great job at knowing the problem areas and got rid of them and made us look like super stars. We are so grateful for her and her passion in this business. I hope you decide on this company as well, you will surely be delighted!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
