Your Story

From My Perspective

I cannot capture your wedding the way you want to tell it – but I can tell it my way. Let’s tell a story that outshines all others. A story, starring you.

Weddings

This won't be your happiest day - but it will be among your happiest. The best is yet to come. I'm honored to be there among your guests to experience this day.

Elopements

Not all stories are public affairs - elopements are a beautiful way to share an intimate milestone in your story. I can't wait to be one of the few to experience it with you.

Hi There

About Derek

A believer who struggles with the world. A father to four beautiful children. A devoted husband to a beautiful wife. 18 years of my life not knowing I was legally deaf. These are only a few things about me, but who I am is yet to be determined by you.

Our experiences are our own – there are no two that are alike. While we may have similarities in our stories at times, as a whole, we write our own stories. Falling in love is a story we’re all familiar with, but how that love unfolds is why we are drawn to each new story.

Every laugh, tear, joy, and pain comes together to tell of your story. It’s one that cannot be experienced by anyone else, so the closest thing we can do is to tell our stories in the hopes that our similar experiences resonate with those we hope to influence.

Your wedding photos aren’t memories. They’re hardly your story, because it’s told from my perspective. Your wedding is the story I tell – but the experiences they highlight are the elements we share.

I could give Derek 100000 stars! He is absolutely INCREDIBLE! We’ve seen him work and we knew he was so talented & made it seem effortless! He was 100% involved our whole engagement and was always open and available for any questions we had! On our wedding day he was a total rockstar! Him and his team were so professional, kind, funny, and made the process actually fun! We received SEVERAL compliments on how amazing he was and we couldn’t be more thankful! Thank you, Derek for sharing your gift with the world and for making our day perfect! We not only had an amazing photographer, but now we also have a friend! We love you!

Derek shot my engagement photos and my wedding, and our pictures were so beautiful! Everyone comments on how he really captured the feeling of the night, and I go back and look at them all the time! I highly recommend him for any of your photography needs, as he is great to work with, professional, extremely talented, and just a really kind person who will add nothing but good vibes to the special time in your life. Thanks for the awesome memories that I get to keep with me forever, Derek!!

Megan H.

Derek has been an absolute joy to work with! I knew from the beginning with his philosophy on wedding photography that he was the perfect fit for us and our day. We spoke and emailed several times before our engagement shoot, and then even more right up until wedding day. Several guests commented on just how great he was too. He braved the cold and snow for all the perfect shots and didn’t miss anything. He surprised us with a slideshow at the reception!!! If that was any indication, the rest of our photos will be drop dead gorgeous. I can hardly wait to see them and will continue to sing his praises. You want Derek on your wedding team!
