I'm not the type to leave reviews, but Wedding Wire asked me to and the Parsons deserve all the accolades! I have followed the Parsons blog for years, and dreamed of them documenting my wedding one day. They, and the photos, were everything I hoped they would be. They are true to the craft of documentary photography -- everyone who has seen our wedding photos has commented they felt like they were there, too. They could hear, smell, taste, and see everything through the images. The Parsons captured our day in the most genuine but beautiful way, because that is exactly who they are as people -- genuine and beautiful. They went above and beyond. On top of that, we received all of our images a lot sooner than we expected! We are so honored to have them be a part of our day -- we, and our children, will absolutely cherish these photographs for decades.

Jeremy captured images that will be treasured forever. The Parsons are personable and very professional. They are wonderful to work with and have a way of putting you at ease in the midst of wedding business. We loved having Jeremy there for the wedding weekend and can't stop going over our photos again and again, reliving the moments he captured.

Our wedding was shot in 90% darkness for the first half, lit only by the setting sun, and a single blue bulb. The entire rest of the night was outdoors in low light. Even through these challenging circumstances, every image was crisp, evocative, and best of all, fun. The images are "us," perfectly captured.

I'm the kind of guy that makes goofy faces in photos. Maybe i'm insecure, maybe i just don't like the idea of trying to "look good." Regardless, the Parsons somehow captured me at my best - smiling, laughing, and connecting to my wonderful bride. I look candid, authentic, honest, and in love. What a wonderful thing to have my memories match our photos.

The Parsons were like a ninja team, capturing things I couldn't have imagined they would - connective glances from best friends, The hint of tears of joy from my wonderful bride, and the emotions of our friends and family. They spent the entire day with us before the wedding and split up so we had images of the both of us, separately getting ready in our one unique ways.

Not once did I feel like they were in the way, or notice them snapping away, but at the end of it, we had over 1200 photos of our weekend, and our story. 1200!

Looking through them again, I am just awestruck. My face hurts from smiling.

We dedicated the largest percentage of our wedding budget to photography and I don't regret it in the slightest. The Parsons were worth every penny. They were upfront about their costs and transparent about their needs. It was incredibly refreshing to be able to talk about the value of photography and the cost of services in an open, candid conversation. Looking through these photos, I still feel like we underpaid.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, I have millions in celebration of my bride, and these photographers. I would (and do) recommend the Parsons to everyone i know getting married.

I get to relive the best day of my life over and over, and for that I am endlessly grateful.

Ashley and Jeremy are not even in the same league as most photographers. They are true artists. Visionaries. Incredible people. Hardworking people who put their heart and soul into their work. They pay attention to you, your needs, and every detail most people wouldn't even notice. 6 years ago I saw their work and knew I needed to book them for my wedding day. 4 months ago 'it' happened and it was the best wedding decision we made. It was like having two really close and awesome friends with us, but they were taking photos alongside. They captured raw emotion and their art will forever be proudly displayed. If you want true art, professionalism and incredible people to capture your event, look no further

I've known the Parsons' work since I first became interested in wedding photography and admired the way they tell a true story - one that is real, raw, and insanely beautiful. when I got married this past summer, it was no question that we wanted them to tell the story. the photos were more than just memories for us. they make us cry and laugh and give thanks. I love the way you see the true personalities of our loved ones in the photos. I love the way the photos remind you of specific moments that allow memories to flood in. I can't imagine anyone else telling our story - the love for their clients really shines through in their work. I couldn't recommend them enough.

The Parsons are first and foremost incredible people, and that bleeds over into the stories they tell with their photographs. It's the care they take in getting to know you that makes their photos so beautiful. Our wedding day was a HOT one in August with a blaring sun. Ash had to sub because of a gnarly injury. So, difficult conditions, but the results blew us away. Our day was captured beautifully and my wife and I cry tears of joy and laughter each time we look at the pictures. A picture of my mom and dad dancing together will always be particularly dear to my heart. My dad passed away two months after the wedding unexpectedly, and having the images of him there celebrating with us will always be with us to tell his story and ours on that day. They capture the real moments and help you re-live the day's emotion. They are amazing photographers and provided us with a great way to look back at our story, but they also provide support and made the moments alone with my wife feel intimate while taking beautiful pictures. We love them, loved our experience, and would reccomend to anyone and everyone looking for a beautiful, real story.

Even before I met my husband, I knew I wanted The Parsons to photograph my wedding. The emotional quality they capture in their photographs is unmatched. I am a wedding photographer myself, so this was the most important decision to me on who we would work with on our wedding day - and we were not disappointed. Our wedding was small, only 20 people, so it was important to us to have a photographer who would capture the intimate weekend we had together with our family and closest friends. The photos that Ash and Jeremy took capture the love and moments we shared perfectly. I would highly recommend The Parsons to anyone who wants their story told through emotional, beautiful photographs.

Ashley and Jeremy are wonderful photographers but even better people. We were able to spend time with them prior to our wedding to share our hopes and dreams and fears. They were able to capture the joy of our wedding day uniquely because of the time they took to know us. They were considerate of all our requests. At one point during the wedding shoot, Jeremy pulled by wife and I aside and helped us grasp the gravity of the moment and how he wished to capture it. That was truly meaningful and moving. We believe it was reflected in the photographs they made for us. They are a true joy to work with!

Ashley & Jeremy made our wedding day incredible! Not only did we LOVE our wedding photos, but their presence during our wedding day made it what it was. They are carefree, fun, and flew all the way to California to film our wedding! We loved having them beside us, cracking jokes, telling funny stories and becoming friends in the matter of one day. They helped us stay calm, and enjoy quiet moments with each other before the reception. We are so thankful not only for their talent but also their heart.

We recommend them 100%!! :)

Originally my fiance and I were convinced that we could just have some friends photograph the wedding, we could not have been more thankful that we didn't arrive at that decision (although the parsons have become sweet friends). The wedding went by in the blink of an eye and it was so helpful to have Jeremy and Ashley Parsons around reminding us to be present and enjoy every moment. They never awkwardly posed us or told us what to do so they could get their shot, they worked around us and BLEW US AWAY with their creativity when we saw the shots, even with our high expectations --actually switching our date so we could have them there. They wanted to capture what really happened and I am convinced no one on this earth could have done a more beautiful job! Some of our favorite memories from the wedding day was just being around them. They are so much fun, so much about your joy, so genuinely excited about what marriage is, and an absolute pleasure for everyone to be around. Its hard to tell that they are consumed with capturing every special little moment that my husband and I missed. I also want to mention, it is worth every penny to have good photographers. Totally worth (going into debt if you need to) when my husband and I think about how thankful we were to have such lovely people around on our wedding day who we were confident shot exactly what happened with visual design and genuine love for what they do. Driving away from the wedding, we were so thankful that we could completely depend on our photographers that day for the pictures and footage we would show our kids and their kids and be reminded of the beauty of the day and the commitment and our love for the rest of our lives. TOTALLY. TOTALLY WORTH IT.

We consider it nothing short of a blessing to have had the Parsons shoot our engagement and wedding. Ashley seamlessly blended into our family all weekend, and was "there but not there" as my mother put it. Both Ashley and Jeremy have a calming presence and beautiful, sincere hearts. They take such care with each wedding, and they encourage you to do the same as you plan your own. When you're wedding planning, most people just ask you about colors, food choices, table cards, and songs for the band. The Parsons care about relationships, capturing the love between two siblings, or a father and his daughter. They care about catching the look you give your mother as you zip up your wedding dress in the room in which you were raised. They help you brainstorm for these moments, and they do not stage them. This added such a richness to our wedding itself, not just our images. I can say honestly that they caught every emotion we felt that day. I look back on our images and feel like I'm given the gift of reliving the richness of each moment--not staring at myself posed and smiling from one image to the next. Lastly, when we were given our wedding film from our videographers, one of the first things I noticed was how quick and fleeting these these moments are; these moments that the Parsons caught consistently. These are the moments that speak into the very souls of your family, or your new marriage. These are the moments the Parsons don't miss, and because of Ashley and Jeremy, you get to be reminded of them for the rest of your lives through their images.

Ashley and Jeremy were so wonderful to work with. We haven't received our wedding photos yet, but I have no doubt that they're amazing. The Parsons are full of so much energy and life that it rubs off on everyone around them. They were absolutely fantastic and we can't wait to see the finished work!

The service provided by Ashley and Jeremy Parsons completely exceeded what we could have hoped for! Their style is exactly what we were looking for, and their pictures are phenomenal. Even better, they are wonderful people that we felt comfortable around on our wedding day. We will definitely continue to use the Parsons for professional photography in the future!

When we first met Ashley at a bridal fair we knew she was the one. Jeremy and Ashley are people that care, are very flexible, and most importantly fit in with our family and friends. Their style is very natural and no one felt like they had to "pose" for photos. The Parsons are also an outstanding value. The quality, amount of photos, and service is quite a bargain! We would recommend them to anyone and will use them for future events.

Ashley was great. She is very professional and also has a wonderful personality, so she was very fun to work with. Most importantly, we love the photos that she took from both our engagement shoot and the actual wedding day. We couldn't be more pleased with them, and we feel very blessed that we found her. We will definately be using her for future photos of our future family!!

The Parsons are amazing people and amazing photographers. They have a great eye that sees what is going on and what makes an incredible photo. They treat each of their couples very personally and are able to give each couple individualized photos with great heart. We enjoyed every minute spent with them and love our photos!

My husband and I LOVED working with The Parsons. They were professional, kind, and very easy to work with. They were also incredible humble, flexible, and eager to capture who WE were (which wasn't something we experienced reaching out to other photographers in the area). Ashley shot me throughout the day and Jeremy was with my husband. Ashley seemed more like another friend at the event than someone we hired, and the four of us shared a lot of laughs on the day. They provided the perfect balance of guidance and flexibility, while also catching moments that we are forever grateful for! Not only was working with them a breeze, the pictures they produced were INCREDIBLE! I have had complete strangers see our photos and ask who shot them. The most difficult thing was choosing which to print, as we had over 900 that we loved. I would highly recommend this great duo!

Ashley and Jeremy are not only phenomenal at their work, but are personable and a blast to work with. Our engagement and wedding photos are fantastic! In terms of value, the Parsons are the way to go - no limit on time or number of photos taken. When I look at our pictures, I remember what I felt throughout our wedding and that is exactly what we had hoped for!

Ashley and Jeremy Parsons were more than what we imagined. They were one of the best parts of our wedding day. Thier passion for what they do rubs off and they are extremely talanted. It seems like so many weddings the photographer really puts a damper on things, while the Parsons made our day run smoother and a lot more fun. We have gotten feedback from our other venders on how much, they even loved working with the Parsons. From now on, I know exactly who I will go to for every professional photography need. Hands Down the best!!!

I've noticed there have not been any 'rave' reviews in the past 1-2 years... if our experience is any indication, I see why. They are arrogant and overpriced with their own agenda; claimed they wanted to 'get to know' us or they wouldn't work with us, so we flew them out to New York City (where we live) for an engagement photo session. Little did we know part of the flat rate was to fly Ashley in from Ireland. Then we hosted them in our apartment for refreshments, paid for cabs and meals in addition to their airfare and lodging. The engagement photos turned out pretty well so we thought they 'got it'. This was in February; our wedding was Oct. 1. They had many personal life events happen between Feb and Oct. Fast forward to the wedding day- Ashley didn't shoot the wedding with Jeremy - a family member's boyfriend stood in. My husband and I being in a creative industry (video and interactive production) knew they were having exposure issues. Everyone has a bad day or an off day; this was clearly theirs. Reluctant to take any remotely 'traditional' shots, or for a shot list, we trusted them. Fast forward to when we get our photos back. Nevermind the tears shed, we had very few family shots with bad lighting.The shots with the bridal party looked like something out of a sci-fi movie. If it weren't for a friend taking charge and providing some direction during our group shots, I don't even want to know what they may have looked like. One shot looked like it was taken at 3 in afternoon, the next shot 2 minutes later, looked like it was shot at midnight. Did I mention exposure issues? When we told them we weren't satisfied, they were apologetic, but very slow to respond and offer up any potential solution. They also claimed it was some of their best KC wedding work. I would beg to differ and if that is true, that's pretty sad. I notice for it being some of their 'best' work, they didn't showcase it on their site or blog.... We are still struggling to get an album together or prints for ourselves and family members, 10 months later we don't have a single one yet. It was extremely unfortunate to have spent over $6,000. Oh, but never fear- we had plenty of shots of peoples socks and the event space's artwork reflecting from a mirror in the bride's suite... I think they have potential but are self taught and don't know their equipment as well as they could. Thus, they should really not be so arrogant. Granted wedding photography is very emotional and subjective, but it's also a day you can't just 'redo', so taking in to account the clients' needs and happiness with the end result is of utmost importance. Sadly, we felt we didn't get that on all levels.
