A Wedding to Remember at Belk Chapel
A tailored wedding photography experience at Belk Chapel on Queens University campus in the Myers Park neighborhood of Charlotte, NC. With the best in professional photography equipment, this couple’s wedding was captured in digital and film.
After the ceremony, we traveled to The Ruth by Beau Monde in Uptown Charlotte for the reception. With skyline views in its open courtyard and a light-filled, airy indoor space, guests enjoyed a catered dinner, dancing, and a custom-made bar that really set this venue apart.
As one of the few Charlotte wedding photographers accredited by Professional Photographers of America as a Certified Professional Photographer, Michael Parks strives to highlight the unique connection between each of his brides and grooms.
Intimate Wedding in the Mountains
A custom wedding photography experience at a mountain estate nearby Charlotte, NC, tailored in film to highlight the connection between a bride and groom on the most important day of their lives. Eloping to the mountains for an intimate wedding with the closest family and friends allowed this couple to fully engage with their loved ones in a full weekend together, supported by a team of wedding pros.
St. James the Greater Catholic Church Wedding
A beautiful wedding at St. James the Greater Roman Catholic Church in Concord, NC. Deacon Todd performed this ceremony for Kristen and Jackson on this warm summer day. We used the secluded courtyard behind the church for bridal portraits and first looks, then proceeded into the sanctuary for the ceremony.
A wonderful Catholic wedding that I was thrilled to be able to capture. Congratulations Kristen and Jackson!!!
Quail Hollow Club Wedding
A timeless wedding at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, NC. Megan and Addison were married in a beautiful summer ceremony in the Pine Room of the Quail Hollow clubhouse overlooking the golf course that hosted the PGA Championship just weeks before. Really enjoyed getting to know these two and their families through their engagement and wedding journey.
Quail is a short drive from my studio, which made it so convenient to do walkthroughs in advance of the wedding with the couple and come to the rehearsal. I photograph a lot of weddings at Charlotte country clubs, but there is something special about Quail that makes it a classic.
Southpark Backyard Wedding
What a lovely wedding to photograph at this Southpark home’s backyard in Charlotte, NC. With sunny skies, pool, and cabana, this backyard was a beautiful backdrop for an intimate ceremony.
As a Charlotte wedding photographer, I’ve photographed some of the biggest weddings in Southpark, Myers Park, and Uptown, but I’m also really blown away by the beauty in every personal at-home wedding. Maybe most importantly, every wedding is defined by the couple getting married and honoring their commitment to each other in marriage.
Wedding at St. Matthew Catholic Church
Celebrating the sacrament of matrimony at St. Matthew Catholic Church in Charlotte, NC with a full Mass. So honored to participate in Katarina and Ross’s wedding celebration at St. Matt’s by being their photographer.
I’ve been in St. Matthew’s many times for photography work, as well as my own family’s events, and I’m grateful. Each time I’m at St. Matt’s, I realized there are many great locations on the campus based on how the sunlight is positioned on a given day.
Wedding at Vanlandingham Estate
Romantic Wedding at The Vanlandingham Estate in Charlotte NC by Charlotte Wedding Photographer Michael Parks, owner of ParksPictures Photography. In a timeless wedding at historic Vanlandingham, Gabby and Bryan were married in an outdoor ceremony under the oak trees in front of family and friends. What followed was a fun-filled reception under the tent on a beautiful checkered floor. A beautiful, timeless wedding, made complete portraits in the old greenhouse.
