Testimonials

“When we first met Derek we explained that we didn’t want static photos of the family, we wanted people to understand the day and for it to tell a story.  Derek took time before the big day to get to know Trevor and I.  I am really camera shy but I felt totally at ease with Derek.  We were so delighted with the hard work Derek put in not only on the day but with the editing and putting together of our special day.  Derek captured the feel of the day with his exceptional presentation of our wedding photos. All of the guests commented on how wonderful he was as a person as well as a photographer, from the bottom of our hearts thank you for giving us the lasting visual memories of our wonderful day!”

Amy & Ally

“Derek was very professional and friendly on the day, he put all our guests at ease and was brilliant with the children.  The album is beautiful and the pictures are very happy and relaxed, which is exactly how we remember our day”

Millie & Lee

“We decided from the outset that whilst we didn’t want to compromise on the quality of the photography, we wanted the time to enjoy our wedding day and not be kept from our guests by continuous photo-calls. Derek achieved this perfectly and understood what we were saying from the very first meeting.

 The photography was natural, relaxed and captured the atmosphere of the day perfectly.  We were very pleased with the friendly professional approach of Derek and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone”

Michelle & James

“We were thrilled with Derek as the photographer for our wedding.  From when we first met through to our wedding day he was personable and very easy to deal with.  It was the style of his photos that first brought Derek to our attention, we loved the modern candid style and these were realised in the final album.  Derek was great on the day, we both felt at ease and this is clear from the end result.  We would not hesitate to recommend Derek to anyone”

Lizzie & Ed

“We would like to say a huge and sincere thank you to Derek, we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and friendly photographer who set us both at ease on our wedding day. His easy going rapport with all our guests and reportage style captured some great moments, leaving us with wonderful memories of our special day”

Rowena & David

”Derek was the perfect choice to photograph our fantastic day, with a great mix of creativity and relaxed humour which was so important to us. He spent a good deal of time finding out what we wanted and grasping our personalities which really shone through in the final images. Apart from our more formal shots, for most of the day we forgot he was there, which gave some amazing natural shots of us and our friends and families. His preparation, even attending the rehearsal with us, really helped giving us the best memories of our day. At particular nerve racking moments he was there cracking a little joke and getting the best out of us”
