Parsons Photography

Diane Parsons is FABulous!!!! From the first meeting my then fiance and I had with her, we were hooked!! She doesn't just act like she's interested, she becomes part of your day. In our case, Diane, Jess, and Tony became 3 more members of our family at our reception. Prior to the big day I had a boudoir session with Diane. By the 3rd or 4th picture, Diane had me laughing so hard, I forgot that I was standing there in "barely there" attire!! Diane was available by phone, email, text, and talked this bride off a ledge more than once. Her personality is comforting and energetic, never losing sight of her professionalism. Her phone number will remain in my phone indefinately!! Book with Parsons Photography and I guarantee that you will NOT be disappointed!! ~ Sue Miles, wedding date 10/1/11

Diane and Jess are phenomenal! They are spunky, creative and always willing to bend, flip and jump into any situation. Diane rode along with me on the boat to make a grand entrance to our wedding. She was a trooper and we are thankful for their hard work, dedication and wonderful services. Parson's Photography is the way to go - only if you want the best!! Pricing is reasonable, and service is excellent. Thanks Diane and Jess for sharing in our special day. You ROCK!!Kara and Will Colon

We had a wonderful experience working with Parsons Photography. Diane and Jess were so professional yet so down to earth and fun to work with. From the first time we met with Diane we knew we found a knowledgable, honest and caring person. She was always available to answer questions and address our concerns. We are 100% positive that we found a real gem! Our wedding day was perfect in every way. We are so fortunate that we had Parsons Photography with us to capture our memories.

Friendly, professional, experienced. My pictures are gorgeous... And all at a much more reasonable price than most of the other vendors I looked into. Very pleased!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!

One of the most important decisions you will ever make in life is choosing your wedding photographer. We contacted Diane at Parsons Photography and received a more than reasonable quote. We arranged to meet in person the day before the wedding. Diane listened intently to our vision and made creative suggestions as to possible poses. We absolutely loved and appreciated her creativity. She captured the essence of us. A lot of people, including myself, take good photos. Diane is a photographic artist and her ability to capture those beautiful and intimate moments of our (and hopefully, your) special day is unsurpassed.

Diane and her team are AMAZING. There are no other words. You'd be crazy not to go with them! It's true when they say, when you sign with the Parsons team, you become FAMILY <3

DO NOT USE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER! From beginning to end the experience with Diane was horrible. We met Diane at a wedding show at the Wadsworth Mansion. Her prices seemed to be reasonable, especially with the 10% off any package coupon she gave us. We decided to book with her after doing some comparisons of services. Big mistake, nothing is cheaper for no reason. When we booked with her we went with the package that included a videographer. She told us that the 10% discount would not include his service even though it was clearly packaged together. We spoke with the videographer about this and he offered us a solution NOT Diane. A week before the wedding Diane started a fight with my mother! There was some confusion about the amount of the last check sent. My mom mistakenly wrote the check for $19 less than the correct amount. Diane insisted that she pay a $25 late fee! The check was not late just written for the wrong amount by dollars. My mom was upset, Diane told me she refused to speak with her anymore. I felt like I wanted to take my mom's side but that if I didn't agree with Diane she would sabotage my pictures. The day of the wedding Diane took the shuttle that was waiting to take me to the venue making me and my wedding party 20 minutes late to my wedding. The pictures she took were mediocre. She got in the way of the guests and showed poor planning for her shots. After everything she said she would be working on editing the pictures of the wedding and the different sessions we did with her. She told me to let her know if we wanted anything specific done. I didn't have any specific requests. I wanted her to do the edits she promised at the sessions and use her expertise to come up with beautiful pictures. Boy was I wrong. After 6 months of waiting and emailing she says she didn't do any further edits than what she had already done and would be burning the pictures to a CD. I was shocked! She blamed me for not telling her what to edit! HELLO?! That is why we hired what we thought was a professional. She did not even do the edits we had discussed in the sessions. She emailed me that they were not in writing and that I was making it up, then she blamed me for not communicating with her. She ended up charging me an additional $100 to get all my sessions on CDs. Diane Parsons is unprofessional and a horror to work with from her office in the basement of her home to her combative attitude. The price of her services are what hooked us. Nothing in life is free, if your photos are important to you it is worth paying a little more. The bottom line is that I felt she held my me and my wedding photos hostage. It was the worst decision we made concerning our wedding. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND AVOID THIS WOMAN.

Highly Recommended!I loved working with Diane and her photographers. She has a great vision and is so creative. I love the way all my pictures turned out. She photographed our engagement, my shower and of course the wedding. You will love her work. She has gone above and beyond everything I expected.

Wonderful experience from the day we signed our contract!!!! We highly recommend Parsons Photography!!!!!

When we reviewed many photographers, we found so many of the same things offerred- you know...the 8 hours of 2 photographers, the digital proofs, the choice of an album....but none of the 10 photographers we interviewed offered a unique aspect. But, Diane Parsons did it! She offered a photo booth, 10 hours, three seperate photographers, a boudoir session, an engagement session and another set of of hours for our second ceremony, which was the following day!!! And our photos were off the CHAIN!!! All staff did a spectacular job, thanks Dave, Jess, Diane, Dave (Diane's husband) and Dan (the videographer associated with Parsons). Check out their blog just to get a taste of their work.

Diane and her crew are amazing to work with, you tell them what you are looking for and they fulfill beyond your wildest dreams. Diane is very quick providing proofs or other products I have ordered. She gets to know her clients and goes above and beyond. My husband is very shy and she got him to do things I never thought he would do for a photo op. Jim and I included our dog in one of our engagement sessions and he responded very well to her. My wedding guests where envious of her photo booth. One even said to me it beats the dispoable cameras on the table. When you work with Diane you become family. AMAZING. I would recommend her to anyone.

I'm really happy I chose Diane for my photographer for my wedding.Her work is amazing and she is the sweetest women to work with. The day went by smoothly, Diane goes beyond the contract to make sure everything went right.You get extra perks with Parsons Photography and you can tell right away they truly love doing what they doThank you for my beautiful pics :)

I would recommend Parsons Photography to everyone! They are the best! You will be happy you chose them!

Parsons Photography is AWESOME!! There is no other way to describe them. Diane and Jess photographed our engagement shoot and our wedding and they were so much fun to work with. They had some really creative ideas and even took our imput. Even though Diane and Jess are the best reason to choose Parsons Photo, it doesn't hurt that you also get rights to all your photographs; and they are beautiful. You will be so happy in choosing Parsons Photo.

My husband and I could not have been happier with the services we received from Parsons Photography. I am absolutely convinced that, although there are a lot of good photographers out there, we could not have received the same flexibility (which was important to us since my husband and I are both pilots and have different schedules that provided us with challenges with scheduling appointments), the same level of professionalism, the fun we had with our photographers on wedding day, and the friendships that ensued with any other photographer. There is not a single thing I would change about our day and we are truly grateful to Parsons Photography for capturing it all for us.

I am so glad that we found you that day way back when at the Sheraton in East Hartford. You have been nothing but awesome since our first time meeting. We couldn't of asked for anything better. Your work is amazing, and I tell everyone i know (=

From the first time we met with Diane a little over a year ago we knew we had a great photographer. We left her studio after about an hour feeling like she was an old friend. Soon after that meeting we had our engagement photos taken by Diane and her husband Dave. It was a blast, and the photos she took were amazing. She is so great at capturing the little things, like a private smile or a quick glance. Orion and I were so excited and happy we couldn't wait for her to shoot the wedding. The day of the wedding she was phenomenal. Pictures in a mini parked on a lawn. Pictures of us on swing set. pictures of us in the bamboo...she really explored the studio space (more cowbell) Not only did she keep it interesting she kept it fun. Her and her assistant Dave (different Dave, not her husband) have a great sense of humor and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. From the few photos we saw from their digital cameras we were amazed. We all love the "Street Light" photo. A lot of people might think the photographer at a wedding is just another vendor. We thought of Diane and Dave as guests. They were very engaging and even when it got dark and all the photos had been taken, they stayed and hung out for awhile. That was awesome. My only regret is we did not get a photo of ourselves with them. As they really were a part of what made our wedding day so special. Thank you Diane, and thank you Dave. If you need pictures for anything whether its a wedding, a birthday, a baby's first Christmas, a picnic, or even a crazy game of pin the tail on the donkey....then hire Diane Parsons she is the best.

Diane is so easy to work with. She listens to you and provides a great deal of innovative ideas. I wasn't stressed for one moment about photos on my wedding day!

Dear Diane,It's been a few months since my wedding yet the day still feels new and real because we have wonderful pictures from you. From our very first meeting to our very last, you have been amazing. I truly feel that no on could have captured our BIG day better than you did! I felt very comfortable in front of your lens and your assistant was great too. You two are a fun duo and I enjoyed having you ladies share my day with me. I hope I live on in your memory for a long time :) You will in mine! Thanks again for everything...from your flexibility to your instant email responses to the great photos you took to your naturally fun personality-THANK YOU!Becky Rondeau

Highly recommended!!! Diane, Heather, and Dave were AMAZING!!!
