John Park Photography

John shot my gf’s engagement photos a couple months ago and I went with them that day to help her out. Before we met up with John, we were watching YouTube videos on tips for engagement shoots because the couple had no idea what to expect. Well that was a total waste of time (and the videos sucked btw) because John was the perfect photographer! He made the couple feel so comfortable and gave them plenty of direction on how to pose, where to stand, etc. I was so impressed. When you watch him work, you can totally tell he knows what he is doing.
Also, it was a HOT summer day and we were all sweaty and tired, but John worked so hard and went out of his way to get the best shots.
The location itself wasn’t even fancy so I was completely blown away when my gf showed me John’s photos from that day! She and her fiancé were so satisfied and we’re all excited for John to shoot their upcoming wedding!

I have been meaning to write a Unilocal review for John Park for about a year now, but being the procrastinator I am kept putting it off and then forgot until now. My husband and I were going through my wedding pictures again as it’s our 1 year anniversary and again were in awe of how our photos came out (and we are not the most photogenic people by any means).
John Park is truly an artist as well as a professional. My sister was worried that since he had never photographed a wedding at our venue that he wouldn’t really know the «good» spots. But John came early to the venue to do some recon haha. He was always responsive to my emails and any concerns. He was amazing at giving direction — patient, but not passive by any means. He took his time to make sure he was getting the perfect photo/​poses (which was not easy with our group!), but still managed to amazing stay on schedule. I loved our group «vogue» shots of the bridal party — not the boring or cheesy «funny» or «jumping» shots you see with a lot of wedding photographers. John was also open to any suggestions, but we basically just trusted him because he knows what he’s doing!!! So many photos were so breathtaking I don’t even know which ones to frame because there are just too many. He does the perfect amount of posed, artistic, and candid photos. He sent all of the photos to us, which I really liked (some photographers only send the ones they select). His prices are extremely fair, especially for the quality and service you will get in return (I contacted a LOT of southern cali photographers so I know!). We also hired a 2^nd photographer with him — she was also awesome and they worked very well together!
Truly a pleasure to work with. My husband and I (as well as my family and friends who STILL comment 1 year later on our wedding photos) highly, highly recommend John Park!!!

John Park is a gem! I am a wedding planner and have worked with many photographers. I must say, John is one of the best! His artistic ability is breathtaking. He is a master of his craft and is able to capture the sweetest moments without being invasive. All of our couples that we have referred to John Park are all extremely happy with their photos. John has a very calm demeanor and makes it very easy for his couples to be themselves in front of his camera. Not only is his work amazing, he’s a very positive and fun person to work with If you’re looking for a photographer who knows what he is doing, set up a consult with John… you won’t be disappointed!

John shot my wedding nearly one year ago and my husband and I are still gushing over the photos! He was recommended by my wedding coordinator and a mutual friend. After meeting with several photographers, we knew we had to book John after our initial consultation. Why? See below:
General:

— Always punctual and always prepared
— Very reasonably priced
— Open to hearing your photography preferences
— SUCH a pleasure to work with
Engagement Session:
— He made us feel at ease right away, even thought we felt really awkward posing in the beginning :)
— He knew all the shots we wanted and scoped out our location beforehand
— He made it a really fun, easy shoot
— The photos came out even better than we had imagined
Wedding Day:
— He’s a good, calm energy to have around on your wedding day
— He directed all 14 people in our wedding party and our huge families with ease
— All photos were above and beyond what we wanted
— Sent all the photos to us quickly so we still got to ride that wedding high weeks after the event.
Check out his website and if you like his style of photography, book him ASAP! We booked him 10 months in advance and his calendar was already filling up.

John was a photographer at my daughter’s wedding. He also did the engagement photos. He did absolutely great job. It was very easy and pleasant to work with him. He was very professional and I am very happy that we choose him. Thank you John very much. You did absolutely amazing job. My daughter is very happy. Great, great job!!!
