A true GEM!

Derrick is very professional, and he did a wonderful job with our wedding photos. My husband and I were pleased. Everyone who has seen our photos definitely compliment on how beautiful they are. Derrick also surprised us with our wedding video! I literally cried when I watched it for the first time because it was above and beyond what I expected! We felt very comfortable working with Derrick, and he is GOOD at what he does. Definitely will be booking Derrick again for another big life event. He is easy to get a hold of, answers all of your questions, prompt, and friendly. Thanks for doing such an awesome job capturing our day!

Fantastic Photographer

Derrick and his second shooter completely captured the energy of the wedding. We could not be happier with the photos we received. We focused mainly on candids, but Derrick also directed us quickly and easily through the posed shots. The results are absolutely beautiful and we are absolutely ecstatic with the photos we've received. I would highly recommend DB Photography.

We LOVE our engagement photos

We worked with Derrick for our engagement shoot and we absolutely adore them! He captured the mood and vibe I was aiming for, to a TEE! We literally printed 24x36s of a couple of the hi-res images he provided, and hung them in the living room already. From the initial communication inquiring about pricing and packages, he was very communicative, professional, and helpful. We booked him specifically for his ability to shoot in dim/low lighting, as well as everything else we saw in his portfolio. My fiancé and I ended up running a few minutes late to the shoot, and he was very understanding and accommodating. During the shoot, the mood was light and chill, and he was extremely personable. He helped us with poses by guiding and directing us and welcomed our input to make sure we got any poses we knew we wanted. He taught us some very valuable posing techniques, that I know will help us in our wedding day photos (which we’ve also booked him for). Derrick has a true skill and calling for photography and we cannot thank him enough.

Phenomenal

Derrick was absolutely phenomenal with our wedding. We booked with him over a year in advance and he made the process extremely smooth. His photos speak for themselves on his talent. He was on time and communicated well. We had a venue with EXTREMELY tricky lightning and he made sure to bring equipment that could work with it. We hired Derrick for photography and videography. He offers lots of additional items you can add to his packages and has flexible services as well. I couldn't have picked a more personable, fun, and talented person to shoot our wedding!

Book Derrick!

Derrick came in with amazing energy! I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. I threw him through the loop with a surprise injury on my end and he accommodated with no hesitation. He was diligent and professional!

Very professional and on time. I would truly recommend Derrick for those who are in need of a photographer. The quality of is work is outstanding. He is the go to person for babyshowers engagement graduation and weddings etc.
We needed up booking Derrick for our engagement and wedding. The pictures came back so clear and amazing. We didn't even noticed him at our wedding due to the fact of him interacting with the guest as if he was family.
