JP did a great job at our daughter's wedding. He shows up early and is the last to leave that night. I am a dad who also loves photography but on this special day my camera stayed home because I knew JP would do a wonderful job and he did just that. His way of relating with people keeps everyone comfortable and it shows in the creative photos he produces. From beginning to end working with JP was a delight.

John was my photographer for my 2011 wedding. I had originally contracted with a different photographer, and it turned out to be a nightmare! After many chaotic moments, my original photographer backed-out a few months before my wedding, and I truly panicked. I found John online and contacted him with my story. He immediately responded in the kindest and most professional manner possible. John was extremely flexible with what I needed and very willing to make adjustments and meet my requests. He also gave me a fabulous deal and was considerate of the fact that I had already paid for our first photography nightmare.

John did an excellent job with the photography. I have a very large family with several unique body styles, and John did an excellent job making everyone look fabulous. I truly felt stunningly beautiful because of John's photography! I am never one to hang pictures of myself around my home, and I have used several of John's photos. He was incredibly open to my ideas and wants. He was creative in how he photographed our reception. He was quick to capture the most tender moments, and he was very sensitive to not "get in the way" of the event. I would recommend him to anyone!

Almost four years later I am still grateful every time I see my photos that John was the one I picked! You won't go wrong!

John was great! We met with him on late notice looking for a photographer and he thankfully had the date opened. He is very professional and takes amazing pictures. Him and staff were there all day for the event.

He works with your schedule before and after event to set up ideas and to pick the pictures you want.

I could not have picked a better photographer!! I would use Photography by Parmley for other events!

JP did an awesome job with all of our wedding pictures. He is great to work with, willing to try new things and good with last minute changes. He was with the wedding party all day. He was the last vendor at the reception. He produced some beautiful pictures. The one thing you should spend money on are your pictures and he was worth every penny; we have wonderful memories.

John and his wife are a great team. The quality of the pictures is great and they respond to direction very well. If you're a creative bride, John will work with any ideas you have. Very professional all day and was careful to be sure and capture all guests not just bridal party.

No way!!!!

I had a disappointing experience. The individual was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional in their interactions, which made the entire process unpleasant. While they have the potential to be kinder and more approachable, their current attitude leaves much to be desired. I hope they take feedback seriously and work on improving their demeanor, as it would greatly enhance the experience for others. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend them based on this encounter.
