FABULOUS FOTOS FOR LESS

John is a fabulous photographer with the best prices around. We were so glad we found him. Our pictures came out beautiful and we didn't have to take a second mortgage out to pay for them. They are more than we expected! Thanks so much! We will spread the word as often as we can.

John is Awesome!

After resolving to just NOT have a professional photographer at our wedding at all (because we were not about to spend $2500) a friend of mine found John's website - and thank god she did! I was impressed, at first, by his comments on WHY professional photography costs so much, and why he refused to take part in ripping people off! I was further impressed by the amazing photographs I viewed on his website. I paid particular attention to his shots of other wedding's flowers, cakes, wedding dresses, reception tables & pictures of the favors, etc. He does some very creative shots, and these were the things I was interested in. I was seeing all of the same types of shots I saw on those really expensive photographer's websites - and for less than 1/2 the price! So I emailed him.

John is very easy to communicate with. He answered all of my questions promptly and we communicated entirely by email, which I love. John photographed our wedding on January 1, 2005 at River Ridge in Oxnard. I hope everyone has a chance to see the pictures of our wedding he's put here on his website, and the Web Album he created for us. I strongly recommend doing that. I can't tell you how many comments I get about how beautiful our pictures are.

John was amazing at the wedding! All of my guests loved him and my family and I are going to use him again for some studio shots this xmas. I have two friends getting married soon, and they both are planning to use John after seeing how wonderful his work is. He took ALL of the shots I wanted to be sure to get, and many, many more. In fact, I was surprised at some of the shots he got, because I never even noticed he was there at the reception!

John has a wonderful sense of humor and really goes above and beyond the call. He even came to our rehearsal just to check everything out. We were extremely nervous about it raining, and that day turned out to be the only day in a string of ten that it didn't rain. But John brought his studio equipment, just in case we had to do pictures inside (which we didn't) - and he took pictures of many of our guests at the wedding, inside, with a backdrop- they were very impressed!

We loved John and strongly recommend using him - we will again!

Thanks John!

John is Fabulous!

John photographed our wedding in November and we could not have been more pleased. He is very professional and the pictures came out great! It was such a relief to find him and realize we did not have to spend our whole budget on a photographer. I did a lot of research on photographers before chosing John. It came down to the simple fact that John's packages were cheaper and included more than the others. We booked our engagement session with him and after seeing how great those picutres turned out, we had no doubts that our wedding pictures would turn out just as good.

Highly recommend John Park

In addition to his complete professionalism from start to finish, John Park accomplished exactly what we requested from him: mostly candid shots, which turned out to be some of the most beautiful photos we have. John partnered with us to make our wedding photos tell the story of our big day with friends and family. They turned out better than we could have ever expected. John, thank you again for the wonderful pictures!

Sept 4, 2003 Wedding

My husband and I were really impressed with John's professionalism and punctuality. He tried to capture every precious moment of our wedding day. We love the pictures, they came out so good, even the ones he said weren't good, were good to us. We want to thank John for doing such a good job!!! I would recommend and use John's services for other special occasions.

John Park, a true professional

Choosing a wedding photographer is one the biggest decision one has to make in planning a wedding. We wanted photos that would remind us of our special day but still allow us to stay within our budget. The photos John took exceeded our highest expectations. John listened to us and took pictures that truly reflected our style. If we could do it all over again we would chose John to take our wedding photos. He is professional in every sense of the word. We would highly recommend his services. He was with us every step of the way and we thank him.

john is great!

John did the photos for my wedding and reception in March, and we couldn't be happier with the quality of the photos or the service! He met with us to go over exactly what we wanted, kept in touch via phone and email, and just did a really great job. OUr guests loved him, too, and we will definitely use his services again whenever we need a photographer. Thanks John!!

Wedding-Fall '03

Mr. Park did a wonderful job photographing our wedding and also the bridal shower! He was very easy to work with, very accommodating, took pictures that we wanted taken and also took some very nice, candid and artistic pictures. He responded to our emails and phone calls promptly and answered all our questions. Would highly recommend him for weddings and also for other special occasions! Very professional unlike the other "wedding photographers" we dealt with. Will not be surprise to see his photos in the newspaper bridal section or in bridal magazines.
Thanks John!
