Working with Derek was an amazing experience for the whole wedding party. The professionalism and quality of work are unmatched. The photos are absolutely breath taking and the entire process was smooth and surprisingly easy. He was really good at making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and we couldn't be more pleased. It wouldn't have been the same without him!

November 9, 2019 wedding
Derek is extremely professional and easy to work with. He made sure we were comfortable and had plenty of beautiful photos from our special day that we loved looking at together. I was blown away by them. And he got them back to us very quickly which was great because I’m super impatient! He talked us into doing a first look due to the fact that the sun would be setting early and our ceremony was at 5pm. We both were so glad we did it! We wouldn’t have had nearly as many photos together and it was a really special private moment for the two of us.

Great Experience!!
Excellent photographer!! We would highly recommend him to anyone. The first few photos we received back, almost made me cry. Speechless, breathtaking photos ❤️.
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.
Derek Halkett is a professional photographer with a great eye for pictures! He knows how to use the spaces available & takes advantage of every photographic location. Derek is very familiar with all the best spots for pictures @ Blissful Meadows Golf Club, he even got married here! Derek works great with the couples and makes them feel very relaxed & it shows in his photo's. I highly recommend Derek Halkett as your photographer :-)
