    She did a great job. She was very upbeat. If you are having a laid back wedding I highly suggest her services. Her and her assistant took some amazing shots of the wedding.

    Amazing for Destination Weddings!

    KK was amazing in all regards -- she was professional and easy to work with, easy to talk to, and offers a great value for her services. She went above and beyond to make our 10th anniversary special!

    Kathleen K. Parker Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Chelsea. I was honored to be the photographer at your wedding vows. What a wonderful ceremony you had. I am lucky to get lovely couples like you.

    With gratitude,

    Great! Hire her, you won't regret it.

    Kathleen came out in 108 degree heat for us. She did an amazing job there and editing the buckets of sweat out of the pictures. They turned out great. I'm glad I found her and would recommend her to anyone.

    Kathleen K. Parker Photography's reply:

    Hi Jennifer,
    Thanks so much for your review. It had to be the hottest day of the year, but you looked wonderful. You had a beautiful wedding day anyway! I am very grateful for your generous comments.

    Wonderful & Friendly

    My husband & I contacted Kathleen to capture our magical day. From first contact Ms. Parker was so helpful. We came in from out of town for our Handfasting and I didnt have to worry about a thing. Ms. Parker is very professional and we were beyond pleased with the final product.

    Kathleen K. Parker Photography's reply:

    Thanks for the kind words, Melissa. You had a very unique wedding. In particular, I loved when you jumped the broom. I am very happy that you were beyond pleased with your photos. :)

    Amazingly accommodating - wonderful experience!

    We simply cannot thank Kathleen enough for being so accommodating and flexible! Our outdoor wedding was scheduled for 4/14/18 in City Park. However, when a monsoon threatened to completely wash out the ceremony, she contacted us a few days in advance and helped us to rearrange everything and hold the ceremony one day earlier (in perfect weather!). Our pictures are amazingly beautiful, and she took great care to make sure to capture all of the important moments of our special day, including tons of photos with our family and our very special bridesmaids - our two dogs! We are so grateful to Kathleen for helping us to make this day so very special.

    Kathleen K. Parker Photography's reply:

    Hi Lori,
    Thank you so much for this review. We did get that wedding rescheduled before the total terrible monsoon! Your wedding was lovely, and you know I loved the "bridesmaids" with their colorful tutus. You have a great family as well. Thanks for having me as your photographer. I hope you are all doing well!

    Gratefully yours,

    Kathleen (KK)

    Wedding day perfection

    I would absolutely recommend KK for anyone seeking a fun and flexible artist/photographer! She put us at ease and knows the perfect shots to get that are both spontaneous and exactly what we wanted without having to ask for specific poses. She captured both the loving experience of our day and the magic of New Orleans effortlessly.

    Kathleen K. Parker Photography's reply:

    Thank you both, Alison and Brian! You made me smile the whole time. You made my job, which I never consider as "a job," absolutely wonderful. I am so glad I got to be there with you on your wedding day! Thank you very much for this review, too.

    Always,

    KK

    Wonderful experience with KK Parker!

    My husband and I found KK on line while planning a wedding on very short notice. Although we had been together for quite some time, we had trouble finding a time frame that worked for our families and then just decided that we would have our wedding on our schedule and that it would only be us in NOLA. KK went out of her way to help us find everything we needed (ie, flowers, reverend and photography venue). As we planned a wedding only three weeks out, she put us at ease, kept in touch with us and had some great recommendations. She has a wonderful personality, was easy to work with, professional in every respect, helpful and our photos looked liked they should have been in a magazine! We couldn't have been happier. She sent us a couple of shots immediately to share with our families, had the rest to us in email format within a very short period of time and even mailed us a copy on a thumbdrive also in a timely fashion. We even had our photos printed and on our walls within just a few weeks! We continue to stay in touch with her and look forward to her taking photos again of us on a return trip to NOLA.

    Kathleen K. Parker Photography's reply:

    Hi Cathy,

    Your review makes me smile hugely! I am and was glad I could help you. What a fine couple you are, and I am delighted that you have some of the photos on your walls. Thank you so much! Please come back to NOLA! Even if to just have beignets and coffee together.

    With gratitude,

    KK

    Wedding Photographer

    Kathleen was our wedding photographer and we couldn’t have picked a better person to work with. Her professionalism was beautifully complimented by her creativeness and kind heart. Our photos are wonderful and she captured our special day brilliantly. We definitely recommend Kathleen and would use her again in a heartbeat as a photographer.

    Kathleen K. Parker Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your generous review, Angie. Likewise, I would have you as a "returning client" in a heartbeat! Working with people like you is not like "work" at all. Hope all is well. Come back!! KK

    Family reunion photos

    Kathleen took our family reunion photos when we stayed at The Myrtles in St Francisville a few years ago. The photos were so flattering to us all and captured our time together in very lovely ways. Kathleen was professional, creative, personable, and made our time with her lots of fun. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking quality work at a very reasonable price.

    Kathleen K. Parker Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Colleen! It was a wonderfully haunting experience! Truly, I enjoyed the reunion so much and was happy to join you and your family for such a fascinating event. Hope you are doing well!

    All the best,

    KK

    Destination Wedding!

    My husband and I simply cannot put into words the amazing experience we had with KK! Not only has her stunning photography helped us capture memories forever, she herself is an outstanding personable woman. Our experience with KK’s photography happened in May 2014 and we still have communication with her. It was easy to bond with such a beautiful soul. Some of our wedding photos have been featured in a couple books as well. With our permission of course. She is the ONLY one we would ever choose again!!

    Kathleen K. Parker Photography's reply:

    Hi April and Wes,

    I am at a loss for words! Thank you so much for this review.
    Getting to meet YOU was one of the best things I could ever wish for. I am so happy that you loved your photos, and I do know about the book publications of several of your photos. Awesome!
    Bonded...you bet! Thanks so much, April and Wes.

    Blessings,

    3 words.......Excellence - Flexibility - and FUN!

    The hardest part of summarizing Kat's photography, is that there isn't enough room to say all of the positive things that I need to share, in this small space. She is professional,creative, FLEXIBLE, and FUN! Her prices are very reasonable, and our finished photos were AMAZING! Her suggestion for us to change our ceremony time, in order to capture the best lighting, was a great call and it truly changed the outcome of our photos. When our original venue needed to be changed at the last second, literally, she not only said "Sure thing!" with a smile, but she even came up with a Plan B location for us. Her "Plan B" location turned out to be a much better location, and we will forever be grateful to her for her flexibility. In the end, we not only had an amazing experience, but we had gained a great friend! She is the best of the best!

    Kathleen K. Parker Photography's reply:

    Maureen,
    I kind of don’t know what to say. This is such a wonderful review, and I thank you very much. You know how I feel about it and you two. When I get clients like you, I thank God profusely! Thank you and David for picking me. It turned into a wonderful relationship that we never imagined. :) Kat

    Amazing wedding photographer!

    I hired Kathleen to photograph my wedding in New Orleans. It was a small destination wedding, and Kathleen felt like part of the family. She listened to my wants of more candid photos and got amazing pictures of my friends and family at my wedding, reception and walking around the French Quarter. She captured the beauty I felt, as well as the love I felt from friends, family and my husband. I highly recommend Kathleen!

    Kathleen K. Parker Photography's reply:

    Ah, Leah, I felt like I was part of your family, too. One of my favorite things you said about your photos was that you loved the shot of the entire wedding party in Pirate's Alley as your friends were "appalled that you were being married in an alley!" :) Thanks so much for your recommendation. Means a lot to me!

    Blessings,

    KK
