About

Alright, alright alright! You made it here so hopefully my work caught your eye and now you want more of that jaw-dropping imagery. Let’s face it, making decisions on who to hire for your wedding day can be difficult. After all, it is one of the most important days of your life, and making the right decision is a top priority. My goal is simple and involves capturing the most amazing images possible for my wedding couples. Fair warning, I am known to spoil my wedding couples rotten and go the extra mile on their behalf.

My work centers around Tennessee, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the New England States. If you are looking to book a wedding, elopement, engagement or adventure session in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or anywhere for that matter; I would love to chat. I am a licensed, insured and permitted Smoky Mountain Wedding Photographer and would love to help you capture your best day. Check out my Smoky Mountain Wedding Portfolio and my Wedding Portfoliooutside of the park to see more of my work. Let's get in touch!

The best person to capture your day!

Derek was amazing! As someone who doesn’t love being photographed he made us feel incredibly comfortable and confident. The few teasers I’ve received so far are breathtaking. Could not recommend more!

The best of the best!

Derek has been the most professional, most qualified and the most responsive photographer I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He not only captured all of my requests, but he also went beyond what I could ask for. He captured every single perfect moment and provided me with a gallery I will forever be thankful and blessed for. I seriously have the highest standards for photographers after working with Derek. I look forward to having him capture my family in the future!

Ramble Creek Ramble Creek Barn & Farm Weddings

Derek contacted me recently about coordinating a stylized photography shoot at our venue, Ramble Creek, and he was exceptional to work with in every way. The end results were impeccably beautiful. He's very personable and accessibly artistic. They way he uses natural light has such a whimsical and dreamy result without looking unreal. He's just that good. If you are looking for fantastic wedding photos you need to contact Derek. There's a reason he was a Wedding Wire Couples' Choice Award winner. Call him soon, his calendar fills up quickly.
