Alicia Parks is an award winning, published wedding and senior portrait photographer whose specialty includes understanding each individual love story, and curating timeless art pieces from the special connection you have with one another.

With over a decade of experience, you can see in her work a passion for love stories, romance and a love for the arts. Her inspiration has been drawn from the gorgeous place she calls home, within the vast rolling hills of wine country and the savory smells of cabernet, to the salty air of the California coast. Her work can be seen in The Knot, Wedding Wire and in print magazine.

If you envision your special day with a focus on the love of friends and family as they celebrate the beginning of the your journey together, and you would like it memorialized in a documentary style, I would love to chat!

Khaleelah Shabazz and Tony Monroe are the definition of authenticity and real love. Fate led me to this couple just in the nick of time. I unexpectedly met the bride-to-be at San Francisco City Hall while she was applying for a marriage license. This happened one month prior to Khaleelah and Tony’s San Francisco City Hall wedding ceremony. Lucky enough for me, they still needed a wedding photographer to document the occasion.

You might think you’re in Tuscany when you first arrive at Viansa Winery Sonoma County California wedding venue. Every inch of Viansa Winery’s 270-degree views are epic, from valleys of vineyards in the North to mountain-top sunsets in the West. I was honored to host a romantic Tuscan-inspired styled shoot at Viansa Winery during one of those sensational sunsets. The weather was perfect. It was a beautiful, warm California day – the kind of day that couples planning an outdoor wedding pray for.

With over a decade of experience as a Sonoma wine country wedding photographer, I know all of the ins and outs. My clients have said “I do” practically everywhere!

Aaron Siskind once said, "Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

Alicia Parks Photography caught every grand and every small detail of our wedding day.

4worldlovers: If this is your first time working with me, you will soon discover that your portrait session will be just as unique as your business or family. My photo shoots are fun yet relaxed and very professional.

Upon arrival, you'll notice I'm always fully prepared but always ready to adapt to the day and only want to bring out the very best in the images we want to capture for you.

When it comes to doing corporate head shots, I realized not everyone is truly comfortable in front of the camera. My easygoing yet energetic personality allows you to feel comfortable as well as inspired. This enables me to capture a person's true spirit and personality. As a mother of two, I am very familiar and enjoy working with children of all ages...

Patience and humor are absolute necessities for great images, but my experience to this point has taught me how to help everyone relax and be reassured that your session will yield amazing photographs that will be both impactful and make a statement.

My clients say that they have special memories of the session itself and their generous reviews reflect that experience

I am both a natural lighting as well as a studio photographer.
