Choosing a photographer to capture PRICELESS moments was the most nerve racking task. I was constantly advised that photos will make or break how you look back on your special day. Derek isn't simply a "photographer", he is an artist. His attention to detail is meticulous and it was a huge reason our photos turned out to be the very best wedding photos that I have ever seen. Our family and friends continue to rave about them and have posted and shared so much they may just crash all social media sites. ;-) I didn't think it was possible, but his photography moved me to tears.

Derek Chad Photography was definitely one of the best parts of our wedding. He showed up with plenty of time to set up, and was immediately friendly and put us at ease. He was great at capturing a variety of shot, and directed us confidently but without feeling like a drill instructor. Best of all was his enthusiasm and excitement for the whole event - especially when you're feeling nervous, he reminds you easily about what a happy day it is.
Technically, Derek is fantastic. His sense of lighting and depth of field are excellent. He's also quite good at capturing spur-of-the-moment and action shots. Several of our friends ordered prints from him, because they liked them so much.
Before, during, and after the event, Derek was a delight to work with. He surprised us every step of the way with his thoughtful communication, his thorough planning and set-up, and his absolutely impeccable follow-though and genuine interest in making sure we were happy with his services. We both give Derek Chad Photography the highest recommendation.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Derek and I were photographer and harpist at a recent wedding together, and he was delightful to work with. He graciously offered to take several photos of me with my harp for my files. I highly recommend him. Sincerely, Amy
