About

Hi, I'm Michael Parks, owner of ParksPictures and Charlotte NC wedding photographer, dedicated to creating timeless joyfull images and amazing experiences for my couples. I'm a Certified Professional Photographer and member of Professional Photographers of America with formal training and an established support network. ParksPictures won TheKnot's Best of Weddings, Expertise.com's Best Wedding Photographers in Charlotte, WeddingWire's Couples Award® and has been published in Photoshop User® magazine, thanks my clients' trust in me to tell their unique stories.

I focus on weddings, proposals, engagements, and bridal portrait sessions in digital and film formats. While my most common weddings venues are Charlotte's Catholic churches and country clubs, I welcome and enjoy weddings in many locations.

I value serving others, working hard, and creating art that brings a little more light into our world. When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll find me out with my wife and daughters, walking our dog Cletus, or photographing just for the fun of it.

Parks Pics - The Keck's Wedding

In the midst of a pandemic, Mike by far made us feel the most comfortable booking with him. He was friendly, flexible and easy to work with. He made our big day feel exciting, perfect, and stress free. For someone who usually feels shy in front of a camera, he made me feel absolutely stunning and comfortable! The photos he shot turned out amazing; we are having a hard time counting/choosing our favorites. We would 10 out of 10 recommend him to shoot for any event!!

The perfect photographer for our big day

Mike is truly amazing. He made us feel so comfortable and the ways he captured our big day were so beautiful. Many of our guests even told us how great he was with them, too. We were so lucky to have him and highly recommend him!

10/10 Experience

I would recommend Michael to anyone! I am extremely picky so I sent him sample pictures of the exact style I wanted and all of the pictures turned out even better than I expected! He is extremely friendly and made the whole process so easy for us.
