John the photo ninja

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.

Bar Mitzvah Photography

John did a great job at my son's recent Bar Mitzvah. In fact, I did not realize he was still at the party toward the end! He quickly had the photos ready where other companies you may wait for months to see proofs. His price was reasonable as I had called around and searched the internet for months prior to finding him. Some photographers are $3,000 for a limited number of hours. John dedicated his entire Saturday to our event. I am pleased and will pass his business cards on.

So many beautiful pictures!

We can't thank you enough!! We really appreciated how well you stayed in contact with us, making us feel at ease from the very beginning. We knew that we were going to get some great pictures. On our wedding day, you did not let us down. We love all of the pictures- from the photo session in the park, the ceremony shots in the church, and the candid shots at the reception. You didn't miss anything. Thank you! We are really excited about putting together a picture book with all of our beautiful photographs.
If you are looking for an affordable photographer who takes wonderful, professional photos, John Park is definitely the way to go. The best part is that you get to keep the negatives to everything in the end. We definitely recommend hiring John Park for stress-free wedding photography.

Our Perfect Day!

Thank you John for capturing our wedding day in ways that ordinary photos just couldn't have done. Of course our family members snapped a bunch of their own pictures which were fun and natural but none could compare to the professional shots taken by you. It was a perfect day from start to finish. Everyone we chose to help us with that day came through with shining results. Most people think they need to compromise on quality when trying to keep the cost of a wedding down but, we definitely feel that we received a lot more than our monies worth when we chose you. Thanks again and best wishes with all your future clients.

More Than I Could Ask For

John did a truly satisfactory job as a photographer for my engagement photos and also at my wedding. He went beyond my expectations. He was totally flexible and worked around my schedule. His work was fabulous and I was so very pleased with our beautiful pictures. John, your work was more than I could ask for. Thank you again, K.I.T.

Thank You...

...for capturing the moment (and all the moments) of our daughter's wedding! And it's not just the proud parent syndrome--those with whom we've shared the website say the same without prompting. Your efforts will allow us to enjoy the day again and again...thank you! When an opportunity arises, we will definitely come to you again.

Wishing you success~

Excellent Wedding Photographer

John, was an excellent wedding photographer who made our special day much more relaxing. We never had to worry about John, as he continously kept us informed of how things were and when he would be there and what we should expect.

We would definately recoment John for any Photography needs. His photos are so amazing and the price just could not be beat.

He was completely professional and by far a wonderful find for wedding planning!

John! Your work is excellent! We had comments from many of our guests on your professionalism and how well you did your job. You captured our day so well. We love our photos and will enjoy them for years to come. Many of the pictures look as if you were standing right next to us; yet, we barely noticed you were there, which is the way you said you would be, almost like a hidden camera. You even had our pictures to us in less than two weeks! Thank you for a job well done! R. and H. Monreal

my daughters wedding

Wow! Everything John said was true! He was so wonderful to work with - my daughter and her husband loved his ideas! He was unobtrusive and everywhere at once - our pictures are beautiful. He captured the spirit of the occasion. I am so thankful we used John for our photographer - and we had our pictures so quickly! Thanks John - you are the best!!
