Charlotte Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Charlotte wedding and portrait photographer Michael Parks is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) through Professional Photographers of America (PPA). Michael completed his certification in 2021, and re-certified in 2024, demonstrating his photography expertise through a rigorous testing process and photographic demonstration and evaluation by PPA Master Photographers. In Charlotte NC, Michael is one of only four photographers with this prestigious designation.
One of my proudest moments as a professional photographer was in 2021 when I got my letter announcing that I had earned my Certified Professional Photographer designation. The process of studying and training was very involved, and really helped me grow so much as a photographer for my clients. PPA has provided me with so many connections, ongoing education, and skills that I needed to become the photographer that I am today.
“Becoming a Certified Professional Photographer opened to door to a new level of image mastery.”
