Wedding Photography doesn’t have to be expensive
Contact me from my main website VenturaPhoto.com
Hi, my name is John Park, photographer & owner of VenturaPhoto.com. This is my blog where I relax and be a little personal. I am a both left & right brain person. I have an AS degree in Photography & a BS degree in Computer.
I am a professional web developer during the weekdays. I love my job. I am that funny guy who brings cozy feeling to work. I am the one who started “Coffee Day”, “Team Mercury (sushi day)”, “Scare-master”, “Taco eating contest”, and more. Oh, and I love photography. I always carry a camera. I have photographed many weddings. At any given moment, I have 10-15 weddings booked.
Photography is NOT my “Weekend Thing”. Photography is my main thing. I choose to work in computer field when there are no weddings (weekdays). I don’t plan on going full time with photography soon. Because you cannot be a photographer and be rich. Average income for photographers is about $24k. Of course some people make it rich. A full time photographer needs to make 2-4 weeks living expenses with one wedding gig (your wedding). Me? I just want to get paid for one day of labor.
I am still looking for a business partner who will turn my $1K packages into $5k packages. For now, life goes on as usual. My customers save money. Every-one’s Happy.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Let me know if you need a photographer – God bless John Park
Band Photography, Hollywood
I used to photograph a lot of musicians back in the early 90’s.
I still have some connections with the musicians in Hollywood. Actually, this band is located in Camarillo, Ventura County. They even gave me a ride to Hollywood to photograph them.
I had my ear plugs on at all time.


The band at work – I am working as well (the only person taking pictures)
Christmas Family Photography – Thousand Oaks
This was my late Christmas gift. A day after Christmas, I had a quick family portrait photography session at Conejo Botanical Garden at Thousand Oaks.
Family members came from Colorado and elsewhere to Grandmother’s house in Camarillo. They had four generations in the family. There were a lot of kids in the group and they wanted some family portraits.

After breaking the ice, everyone was relaxed. I was able to capture every one’s energy.
It was a very nice day at Conejo Botanical Garden (Thousand Oaks). It’s been raining for several days. It even rained yesterday on Christmas Day. Today tuned out to be one of the best days of the year. Look at the sky on that picture. I didn’t have to fix anything on this picture.
I took well over 100 family photographs today.
The customer asked if they should dress up like the pictures they see on fancy websites, such as light colored tops and blue jeans. There were some members of the family who didn’t care too much for that look. So, I told her this (I will copy exact words from my email)
When it comes to “color coordination”
You should do what’s natural for your family.
You should wear same colored tops and jeans ONLY IF that will represent your family
As long as your mother is happy, and most of your family members are happy, it will be all good.
People’s faces and love will shine from the pictures to satisfy your family.
Same colored shirts is secondary.
Anything will work as long as people look tidy.
