Photos worth a thousand raves

You can't put a price on this amazing photographer! I was blessed every step of the way with his creative poses and captured moments of real love between my husband and I. We didn't just gain a wedding photographer. We gained a photographer that we will keep going back to every life event we want beautifully captured as he did our wedding. He added personal touches, took the time to get to know us and what was important to us and captured every tear jerking moment on our wedding day! If you want quality photos that you'll find yourself being in love with even months after, go with Derek.

Derek from Real Life Photography was more than exceptional when it came to his service and the final product. Pictures that relive a moment can't even begin to express my gratitude for a job well done. I highly recommend Derek for your next big event.

I LOVE our wedding pictures! They turned out fantastic. We didnt have a whole lot of money to spend so our venue wasn't extravagant or anything and I worried our pictures would reflect that. But Derek took FULL advantage of what he had to work with and made our pictures beautiful regardless. I couldnt have been more happy with them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
