Parker J is a husband to Missy, a dad to Scout, a master to Austin & Marley (golden retrievers),
a friend to many, a resident of Asheville, NC, a traveler of the world and an addict to photography,
fly fishing, travel and friends.

Parker J’s images are known the world over.
His creative eye, style, and personality have made him one of the most highly regarded wedding photographers in the world. As a matter of fact he was just listed as one of the top 10 wedding photographers in the world by American Photo magazine. Parker J has been awarded many times over, both nationally and internationally, and his images and interviews have graced the pages of In Style, People, OK magazine,Modern Bride, Martha Stewart,Today’s Bride, Rangefinder, Studio Photography and Design, Photo District News, Weddings Unveiled and many other magazines and photographic books. His images have also appeared on Entertainment Tonight and The Food Network.
His personal works have also landed in art collections around the globe.
But don’t think for a second that all of this attention has gone to his head. He is a humble artist that is always finding a new way to see and is on a constant search for the perfect image.
Parker J is a photographer because he has to be.
He photographs for his soul.

And just incase you were wondering he enjoys:
laughing hard, swinging hammocks, clouds wandering through a mountain range,
music that lets you feel, a good sense of humor, country roads with grass between the tracks,
the click of a shutter, the way a fly line pulls off of the water sending tiny droplets of water to
shine in the sun, the constant flow of people in a large city scene, Scottish hospitality, a great cheeseburger, a fine wine, watching others, a smooth flight and eggs.

He fears:
clowns, spiders, large cats, bees, scales, Scottish food and normality.

Slow down, we move too fast.

hello world,

2011 has been a year of change for me. One of which is that I have made a conscious effort to slow down, evaluate and take stock. Lots more shooting for myself and playing with light and silver. Lots more observing and waiting for a moment to start or end. I am starting to feel real again. And it feels good.

Keep on clickin’

Dude these are quite spectacular!!

I found your blog a month or so ago through Jonas Petersen (a fellow migrant to Auz) and your acheivement in the top 10 wedding photographers in the world (incidentally and accolade most deserving for both of you!!)

Love your work and style! Building my own blog as we speak and looking forward to buying some of your actions at some point.

It is surprising how hard it really is to slow down and shoot for yourself…thanks for the inspiration

Hey Parker, nice, makes me wonder why I ever sold my Hasselblad. I really miss that camera sometimes. Must have thought it was a good idea at the time. These are great, love love love the arcade shot!

I completely agree. Shooting silver has slowed me way down. Thanks for sharing these beautiful images.

I’ve recently had a rennisance of my own, going back to film as a medium for the first time in ten years and thoroughly enjoying the aesthetic, and more importantly the originality and permanence of the negative and print. Digital doesn’t exist! It relies on electricity and a display. A real photography simply “is”.
