Catholic Weddings in Charlotte NC

As a Catholic wedding photographer, and a Catholic myself, here’s my insights on photographing Catholic weddings in Charlotte, NC. Our family’s home parish is St. Gabriel Catholic Church, where my wife and I went through Pre-Cana ourselves. I’ve photographed several weddings at St. Gabriel, as well as St. Peter in Uptown Charlotte, and am looking forward to photographing weddings at St. Matthew and St. Patrick next year.

I believe that the sacrament of marriage, and it’s a blessing every time for me to be able to capture it for my couples. Whether the bride and groom have planned a ceremony with a Mass or not, I understand the unique order of celebrating matrimony and how to capture it beautifully and respectfully.

St Gabriel Catholic Wedding

Classic wedding at St. Gabriel Catholic Church in Charlotte NC by Charlotte wedding photographer Michael Parks.

Lauren and Charlie lit up the afternoon with their smiles. Lauren wore a timeless white wedding dress from Vow’d, while Charlie’s outfit was the smart black tuxedo. There was an incredible vibe of love and support for the couple all day, and it lifted everyone up to be a part of that ceremony.

St. Gabriel is also my home parish, and I live just five minutes from it. Always a blessing to be able to photograph there. Congratulations Lauren+Charlie!
