your photographer

Brian Parkes

I became interested in photography as a young boy, borrowing my father's camera to take pictures in the local forest where I grew up. After finishing university my interest became more intense and I would take photographs whenever I could afford the film. I got into weddings in 2003, initially as a favour for a friend but on the positive feedback I was asked to do a couple more and within 2 years I was too busy to do my regular day job in the city! Photography isn't something I do, its something I am. I love being a part of such a special day and a little bit of me goes into every wedding I shoot. It's never just another day at the office.

Due to being part of a large dance school we often need a photographer. We run social and competitive events where parents may not be able to capture as many of the special moments as they would like with the quality they want. We have used Brian Parkes Photography on many occasions now and have only ever found his photos to be of the highest quality - capturing not only the still photos but some great action shots also. Not only this, he is a very personable character and has been very accommodating to all our needs. I would highly recommend using his services for any event. Cara Donaldson
