Meet The Photographer
About Brian Parkes
I am a professional Photographer, I started shooting weddings and portraits in 2003 and am qualified with the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers.
I can honestly say I love my job, I enjoy meeting people, be they a happy couple, individuals or proud parents with their little ones. My life is about recording and sharing in my clients most special life events. It really keeps me focussed on what the important things in life are and I'm fortunate enough earn a living recording them.
I believe it's not the destination in life that's important but the journey. It's too easy to sacrifice personal dreams and family time in the pursuit of personal career, status and wealth and to constantly 'fast forward' your life without taking time out to enjoy simple pleasures with the people you love.
I have a beautiful wife a gorgeous little girl and a baby boy, when I'm not working we spend as much time together as possible, they grow up so fast and I'd hate to miss it.
My personality is reflected in my photographic style. I'm naturally a very warm and easy going sort of person so I tend to put people at ease and this often comes through in my images which show a good deal of connection between the viewer and subject.
