When you try fighting the weather, sometimes you have to succumb to the weather and wait, but NOT THIS TIME! Jackson and I met in college while at Samford participating in Samford's Step Sing. A few months prior, I shot one of Jackson's buddies engagement session and he recommended me to Jackson, without realizing that we knew each other, so it was a funny reunion.
Jackson was persistent on proposing in the Gardens as Annie had ABSOLUTELY no idea the proposal was coming as they traveled here from Atlanta to visit friends. We had to battle between the rain showers, random people getting in the way, and then an entire wedding party saying they are more important and shooting right where we were supposed to shoot, after we told them we will only be there for 5 minutes...
We ended up secretly changing the location without Annie noticing as she has never met me, so I ended up asking these three girls to follow me and fake a photoshoot with them, so I pretended to take photos of those girls and just mentioned to them if they can let me know when to turn around to get the proposal. They told me and the rest was history!
"Parker went above and beyond to make sure our surprise engagement was recorded for us to relive the moment over and over again. He made the process simple for us while executing the plan perfectly that was made days before the proposal. He also was able to be at the surprise party afterwards to truly capture what it was like to be with our family and closest friends on this special day. Parker then quickly got us a special preview hours after the fact while finishing the full product in a very quick time frame. I would endorse parker to anyone looking for a professional to capture any special moment in their lives, big or small."

"We felt so at ease with Parker behind the lens for our engagement photo shoot. He made the whole experience a fun and memorable one that ultimately made us feel celebrated. Parker was very professional and confident in his work, which allowed us to just enjoy the process and trust his creativity. He came to the shoot ready with many poses for us to try and also ensured the specific poses we wanted were captured. Thank you Parker!"

Reagan & Annalise
"Parker took my husband and I’s graduation photos in 2021, and has since become an incredible friend. His ability to capture me and Michael is unlike any photographer I’ve worked with before. Not only does he make you feel comfortable in every situation, but he makes sure the product is exactly what you’re looking for. I worked for many talented photographers, and it was a no brainer to have Parker shoot our engagement photos and ultimately our wedding. I wouldn’t have felt so at ease with anyone else in charge of such an important part of our life. 10000/10 recommend!"
