About

Hello there!

As a child, photography was never something I dreamed of doing as a career, I wanted to fly airplanes. I soon found out that since I was partially colored blind that would never happen professionally. Then graduating from University with a degree in Civil Engineering seemed far from "artistic" but somewhere along the way I picked up a camera. I was hooked.

There’s not a moment that goes by that makes me think I should be doing something else with my life. I love the personal connection to people this path has brought me and the endless memories that I'm able to provide through my work. This is me. This is what I do. I’m a wedding photographer. I’m proud of it, I cherish it, and I respect it.

That's a little about me... now tell me your story!

Simply Amazing!

To say, without a doubt, that Derek is the best is an absolute understatement. I have waited years to book with Derek and it was worth the wait and then some. He captured our engagement and wedding photos so beautifully and artistically. They were so dreamy. Derek made that part of the wedding smooth and stress-free making our special day just that much more special. Thank you, Derek, for being so wonderful and giving us gorgeous photos that will last a lifetime.

Excellent! Would do more than 5 stars if I could!

He is very creative! He knows exactly where and when to take the perfect photograph depending on the sunlight or even when indoors with the lighting. His pictures are unique and he captures even the smallest details! He is extremely talented, and his personality makes him enjoyable to work with! He captured me and my husbands wedding and we wouldn’t have anybody else!
