Past Client Testimonials

John was a great photographer. He was able to get all of the real candid shots and that’s what I was really looking for. When ever anyone looks at out photos they say what great shots they were and how he seemed to be everywhere at once. He even got me falling on the dance floor which was classic. He has a great eye and exactly what we were looking for. His prices are great which really helped us out and with the price you not skimping on the quality. Thanks again John for working with us it was a pleasure.

John Park is Wonderful!
I grew up in a large family and all my brothers and sisters got married before me and spent a fortune on their photographers, but I went for a more inexpensive photographer, little did I know I was getting the best photographer of all the weddings! John is great! He took all the shots I wanted and so much more! After the crazy Whoorlwind of the wedding I could actually remember all the things that happened because he captured it all!
I could not have asked for a better photographer! He did it all!
God Bless you John! You are awesome!

John Park is an excellent photographer!!! Great sense of humor and fits in with any crowd. This guy is awesome from our first meeting with him we knew he had it all together. We would highly recommend hiring John to anyone... Everything was delivered as promised!

Thanks so much! Our pictures were awesome and the price was so reasonable. You can tell he enjoys photography... our albums were definitely a work of art.

John is a wonderful photographer. He is easily accessible through email and will answer any questions or concerns prior to your wedding date. I was amazed at the shots he captured on film, especially of our parish. His pictures were comprehensive although he was inobtrusive. We will definitely recommend him to anyone planning a wedding in the future!

Our daughter found John Park and told us from their initial conversations and meeting that she knew he would be great to photograph her wedding (which I might add was planned within six weeks). She explained her budget, and he was very accomodating. On her wedding day, the winds of Simi Valley were blowing like a small hurricane, which moved the outdoor wedding basically indoors. John arrived on time, and was nearly the last person (besides the parents of the bride) to leave. He was courteous, calm, and very professional even when things got a little crazy as they do at these occasions. John captured the moments of our daughter's wedding with photos that we will enjoy for many years to come. So when you go to his website and read what his many satisfied clients have to say, believe it!

First off, we had only 6 weeks to plan our wedding! The ceremony and reception itself were amazing, but the pictures to remember it by are breathtaking. Not only was John reasonably priced ( we had a tight budget) but he is so dedicated. he stayed up until my groom and i left the site. after our first meeting we knew we wanted to book him. this guy will crack you up, excellent sense of humor. i would dare to say this man is selling himself short.you get so much for what you pay and i would recommend him a thousand times over. i cried (ina good way) when i saw my pictures online and the album he put together was PERFECT. he is so personable and excellent at problem solving. we got all of our outside pictures despite the very windy weather. if i ever need a photographer for any event i'll be sure to call him up. thank you for everything John!

John Park did an amazing job in photographing every special moment of our wedding day. I don't remember seeing him too much, but I know he was everywhere because he captured angles and areas that were unbeknownst to us. He was not all up in our faces, either. His smooth, quite, creative style allowed him to capture beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever. Not only that, but this man is a true professional.

I loved my pictures, I loved the quick turn-around, and I loved the price. What more can you ask for!

Thank you John for doing such an incredible job :)

John Parks is such a professional photograper, that we have used his services for the past four(4) weddings in our family. We would not consider any other photograper. We would use his services again in a heartbeat. We have been totally satisfied.

Photographer John Park did a beautiful job of capturing many moments for myself and my husband to share for the years to come. Candid, posed, group, individual; all were taken. John does an amazing job of working thru the guests without being noticed and yet captures the most prized moments.

John is very organized and is very vigilant in keeping in contact with his customers. You ask a question? He will answer within days. You have special requests? John will take care of.

I thank John for his talent, patience, and time for helping recreate my wedding that i wll be able to visit and re-visit the rest of my life.

My husband and family highly recommend John for your photography needs.

Sincerely,
Christine Beltramo

My best friend used John Park as her photographer at her wedding and I knew that after I saw her pictures and heard of his great prices he would be perfect for our big day as well. He did such a great job at our wedding. He stayed calm during all the chaos and was very accomodating to us. He really got all the shots that I hoped to see in my wedding album. From the initial meeting to the time that we received our pictures, John was friendly and punctual. He always responded to my emails promptly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with a photographer!

John,

 Wooo, finally I got here to write on your website.. Married life has sure been busy but wonderful. We would like to thankyou for doing such an awesome job at our wedding. I know it was a bit unstuctured at times but you captured everything just perfectly.. All of the pictures are just amazing and I never get tired of looking at them, so thank you thank you thank you... :))))

Hi everyone, Thinking about using John? We Highly recommend him!! My sister had gotten married the year before I did and just watching how he worked I knew that day I would use him whenever I would got married. When I finally saw the pics I knew I was right. Little did I know I would get engaged months later. When it was time to look for a photographer John was the one I called. He was great the days before my wedding, to the day of, and after.  He captured everything I had asked for and even moments I didn't even know he was there for. Private moments that only he knew to capture that I loved. There my favorite photos.  Again John thank u so much, I look @ the photos every chance I get and they bring me back to the day we got married. I can't get enough of how beautiful they turned out....

                                                                                      lots of love.

John did our photography for our June wedding.  The pictures came out incredible!  We were very happy with his work, his professionalism and his creative eye.  John took some pictures he called "corny," but you wouldn't believe the skill involved and the beauty of those pictures!  I'm so glad we found him, called him and hired him for our wedding! 

Additionally, John delivered our pictures without delay and sooner than we expected.  He is a hardworking person and a person should be honored to have him as a wedding photographer.  Plus, his prices are UNBEATABLE, without sacrificing quality or substance.  Our friends hired one of those $3k+ photographers and they didn't get their pictures for a considerable lenght of time, they had to call the photographer, and, their package didn't include negatives or a digital scan!  For us, when we returned from our honeymoon, our web page was waiting, and less than a week later, we had our pictures in our hands!  

Excellent work, great personality, John exceeded our expectations.  We are very pleased.

Thank you, John, from the bottom of our hearts.

Oh my gosh, where do I begin. First let me say that John was one of the best parts about my daughter's wedding! We live in Texas, and he and I had only had email contact up until the hour before the wedding! He was absolutely on time and very focused (no pun intended) on creating for our families the most wonderful memories any one could ever hope for. Boy, did he ever do just that!! He was always working, taking all kinds of shots, and we hardly even knew he was doing it. He knows the "usual" wedding kinds of shots and scenes, but he is also ready to take any special pictures that anyone requests. We now have our wedding album, digital discs, extra photos and negs here in our possession in Texas. WOW! You will not be disappointed if you choose to have John Park photograph your wedding or event. His prices CAN'T be beat!! We will DEFINITELY use his services again, if we ever get the opportunity!

John was the photographer for our daughter's August 6th wedding at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, and he played such a big part in making it a very memorable day! He was amazing!!

When I found John's website earlier this year, I thought it almost sounded too good to be true. How could he offer so much for such a great price? After speaking with a couple other photographers and getting estimates that were over twice what John quotes on his site (and John's photo package offered us more than the others), I made an appointment with him. He brought along sample photos, albums and even his camera equipment. I was very impressed and decided to book him.

One thing that was very reassuring was that John stayed in touch with me over months so that I had one less thing to worry about. He would always answer my emails right away. As the day of the wedding got closer, he made sure that everything was arranged, and on August 6th, he was at the site exactly when he said he would be.

From that point, we were all amazed at how John seemed to be everywhere during the day -- from before the ceremony when the preparations were being made to the very end when things were wrapping up. He got it all in his photos. I especially liked that, in addition to the great formal shots, he got some wonderful candid photos and didn't forget the details of the table settings, the bouquets, etc. He said to us that when we wanted a photo taken, to just ask him, and he was willing to stay as long as we were there!

Everyone loved John, and he was so easy to work with. I know now that all the great comments that you read on this site are true.

We received our photos so fast, and they are terrific! They will be displayed on this website soon, so I hope you can take a look at them.

I will be posting our high recommendation for John on other sites, too. We know what a huge challenge it is to put a wedding together and to try to stay within some kind of budget -- he helped us accomplish that.

Thanks again, John!

John was absolutely amazing! We only had two months to plan for our wedding and he was available lucky for us. He was a complete professional the entire time and captured the most amazing shots of our special day.

We would highly reccommend John to anyone for their special day. He captured many memories for us that we will never forget.

Thank you,

I highly recommend John as a wedding photographer. I was a bit nervous on my wedding day and John’s calming demeanor helped me stay relaxed. Our pictures came out beautifully too!

We were so pleased with John's photography at our wedding in May. He was flexible with our timing snafus, creative in the midst of changes in plans, and so kind to everyone, even though there was a lot of stress! He was so professional, so kind, and such a calming presence to all of us, which made the most anticipated day of our lives truly a wonderful experience.

When we received our pictures, we were absolutely in love with them! In addition to his creativity in the staged pictures, John caught so many beautiful candid moments that bring out the personalities of our loved ones, which we really appreciate. We will cherish John's pictures for the rest of our lives. We recommend him to everyone!

John, thanks for everything.

John is a wonderful photographer!... He made sure he asked us what we wanted, but he also knew exactly what shots to take that we would have never thought of... The pictures of our wedding day came out so much nicer than we ever could have imagined and we will be forever grateful John could be part of our day... If you are looking for a photographer with a great sense of humor, un-obtrusive, and a superb eye, John Park is the man for you...

Thank you so much John

We HIGHLY recommend John Park. John was our photographer for our June wedding. He was professional, prepared, and had an easy-going nature that made everyone feel comfortable. We and our friends and family were very impressed with how beautifully John captured the special day. I smile everytime I see my wedding pictures.

Many photographers in the area charge twice or three times as much as John and you don't get as much camera time or photos as you do with John. If we or our friends/family need a photographer in the future, we will definitely ask for John Park.

Thank you John for doing an amazing job!

Sincerely,
Ayumi and Robert Kurata

John did an absolutely wonderful job. The reason why we refer to him as photo ninja is you were never aware of him yet he captured every precious memory. We can't get over how many different angles he shot during ceremony and reception. Even though we had a late wedding and were losing sunlight fast he kept us calm and listened to what shots we wanted and calmly instructed our crazy families and wedding party. Many of his pictures brought tears to our eyes. The thank you cards are wonderful as a keepsake for everyone who went to the wedding. We highly recommend him. Thank you John for the professional attitude and beautiful work.
