Derek Coffman Photography

WOW! If you are reading this and Derek is free on your date, BOOK HIM! I cannot recommend Derek enough. I am so excited to work with him again on our wedding day.

I saw Derek at the St Charles Convention Center Bridal Expo and immediately fell in love with his pictures. I am a big fan of the more photo journalistic / fine art style photos and I feel that his photos fall right in line with this. I booked him for my wedding photographer and in the package he included an engagement shoot.

Derek is very professional. Leading up to our engagement shoot, Derek was always great at responding to my texts and emails. We had no issues with communication. He took the time to get to know us (and about us) prior to the shoot. On the day of, he was punctual and 110% prepared for our engagement shoot. He had ideas of poses or unique shots for us to try but also played off us and what we were doing. He had multiple cameras and video cameras to use at his discretion. He even brought a speaker! He was so easy to talk to and we look forward to having him become part of our big day since photos are a big part of it!

Overall, our experience at our engagement shoot was absolutely wonderful. My fiancé called him the “perfect hype guy”. He made us feel comfortable and even made the engagement shoot feel like a fun date night.

Thoughts on the finished photos: The quality of the photos are stunning and the different angles, and techniques Derek used, captured the evening perfectly. His editing style makes all of our photos look even more romantic, and timeless.

We have received SO MANY compliments on our photos from family and friends.

We were looking to get the MOST bang for our buck, and Derek DEFINITELY made that happen. He is professional and fun, he can adapt to anything. We changed plans last minute and he made it work. We even did a bunch of pictures on the fly and he was game for all of them. 10/10 would recommend!

Derek and Kim are seriously amazing! We knew when we first met them that they would work for our wedding day! Derek was so personable and made the photography so much fun! He even came to our rehearsal to scope out the best spots for pictures at our church. We can't wait to see our pictures!
