  Derek did a wonderful job with our wedding. We checked with many photographers before hiring him. He captured such memorable images of my partner and I. And felt so incredibly comfortable with him, and understanding the various needs especially for a gay wedding.

  I couldn't be happier with how our pictures turned out. My husband and I were beyond thankful with the shots that Derek captured. He made two awkward grooms look like super models, well at least that's how I felt after seeing the pictures.
  
  Derek was kind enough to meet with us prior to our engagement shoot, so that we would be a lot more comfortable. He was friendly, patient, and gave amazing directions while he photographed us. My husband and I are were kidding and laughing throughout our engagement photo shoot. He captured our personalities in all of his photos. I loved taking direction from him because he explained himself quite well. This was the same case during our wedding. We were both a bit nervous and once again he made us feel calm and comfortable enough to get all of the shots he wanted in no time. He capture the best candid shots of the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. I couldn't be happier. BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!

  Derek was fantastic to work with. Here's a little background. Pictures to me are the most important part of a wedding. We passed on a videographer to save money, but under no condition was I willing to cheap out on a photographer.
  
  I received dozens of recommendations from friends and family. I would look at their work, but nothing really impressed me. One day I was browsing through a random website and someone posted some pictures of their wedding. The pictures were incredible. They had the Derek Chad watermark on them. I thought it was a long shot considering the pictures could have been taken anywhere in the world. As luck would have it, Derek was local to us.
  
  We looked through some of Derek's online galleries and all of his work was excellent. We decided to go with him. We figured it would be a good idea to schedule an engagement session so we could meet Derek in advance, get to know his style, give him an opportunity to meet with us and learn what we were looking for.
  
  Taking photos can be a bit awkward. Derek made it fun. I'm not sure what he does, but he's a true artist. He has the eye for this type of photography. Anyone can buy an expensive DSLR camera and take pretty decent pictures. However, the artistry behind the picture is what separates a decent wedding photographer from a true master and artist. Derek is definitely an artist.
  
  If there's any piece of advice I can give you, it's spend the money for an excellent wedding photographer. Going back and looking at the pictures not only reminds you of the parts of the night you can't remember, it also gives you a chance to relive many

  Derek was absolutely amazing!! Not only was his work fantastic, but he was so welcoming, sweet, awesome, and understanding which made for a great day with my wife and our wedding party/guest. I would choose him again for any other event pregnancy pictures, family portraits, vow renewal, he was just awesome!

  Derek Chad is truly awesome! We are inlove with our pictures. They look straight from a magazine. Derek is kind, professional and a true pleasure to work with. I can’t wait until our next event so we can have his awesome pictures.

  We were nervous about choosing the photographer for our wedding because we'd heard horror stories about other weddings and we knew nothing about photography. Derek was awesome from the start. He's extremely knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. He answered all of our questions and even offered advice on what to ask and look for with other photographers so we could make a good comparison. We're thrilled that we chose Derek. He and his team were professional, attentive and extremely easy (and fun!!) to work with. We got the finished product 2 weeks after the event and could not be happier. He captured everything perfectly.

  Derek was AMAZING! I came across his name while searching for a photographer for a surprise proposal during my girlfriend and I's vacation in San Diego and I am 100% convinced it couldn't have been any more perfect and I owe it all to Derek. He was able to pick so many beautiful places to photograph. He was easy to get along with and quick to reply back while I was (secretly) planning the whole thing across the country. He made sure that the both of us were comfortable and you can just tell he has the passion for what he does and the natural ability to make you feel beautiful / handsome on your big day. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to have breathtaking pictures and memories to look back on!

  Derek Chad was engaged to take photos at our recent wedding. Both in the lead up to the actual day and on the day itself, Derek was absolutely amazing. We had heard about Derek before we engaged him from Australia and we actually only met him face to face on the actual wedding day. He could not have done more to make us or our guests more relaxed. This was so evident in the quality of the pictures of our day. He captured the essence of the day so well. He was so professional, approachable and friendly. He took the time to take the best pictures of our day.

  I had a great experience with Derek - I was the planner for a wedding with him at the Vibiana in Downtown Los Angeles, and enjoyed every step in the process of working with him, from planning to the flow of the wedding day itself (the couple had 3 year old twins, so an extra measure of flexibility and patience was required on the wedding day.) After the wedding, he turned the images over within days, and they were absolutely stunning! He captured all of the special moments, got all of the planned shots we had discussed, and also got interesting angles we'd never thought of and didn't even realize he'd taken (like an ariel shot of the whole cocktail hour). I highly recommend Derek!

  Derek is an incredibly talented even and wedding photographer. We had decided not to engage a videography crew because it felt too intrusive and so we had really high expectations from our photographer. He delivered above and beyond. We have had thousands of comments about our photos, vendors have asked for photos to promote their own wedding related business because Derek's photos are that good.

  My fiancé, Michelle, and I can not say enough great things about Derek. I hired Derek to capture my surprise proposal based on the amazing photos in his portfolio and positive online ratings. Right away I was impressed by his professionalism, excitement, and friendliness. Derek generously fit us into his already busy schedule. We coordinated the time and place and a signal for when I would distract Michelle and get down on one knee. And Derek captured it all! I only expected about 15 photos, but within 1 week, he sent us OVER 40 wonderfully retouched and shot photos. He was a pleasure to shoot with and was great at making both me and my new bride-to-be comfortable and encouraged during the shoot. If you can, absolutely incorporate Derek Chad in whatever in your life needs photographed. Thanks Derek!! -Craig

  I've had the pleasure of hiring Derek on 3 different occasions in the last year. First, I asked him help capture the moment when I proposed to my (now) wife, Michelle. He was super easy to work with and discrete so she never had a clue what was going on until after I proposed. His photos were phenomenal from the surprise ones to the more posed ones after she said yes. He is extremely comfortable to work with and had us naturally smiling and laughing the entire time. The experience was so positive that we hired him later that year to help us with some business/holiday photos. Again, he was above and beyond in terms of flexibility and talent. While Michelle is naturally gorgeous and photogenic, I am much less natural in front of the camera. Regardless, he made us both look better than ever. Lastly and most recently, we hired Derek again for our wedding in May. Derek went above and beyond, getting every last detail, friend and family member in our 170+ person wedding. We were amazed that he could pose and position our big group family photos of 20+ people and everyone was smiling, with eyes open and looking great, including kids and grandparents! Thank you Derek for everything! You are our go-to for all of our San Diego photography needs.

  We used Derek for our engagement session and for our recent wedding in Vermont. We cannot begin to thank him enough! Not only is Derek incredibly talented, he is one of the most wonderful guys you will ever meet.
  
  We can't talk highly enough about how much he went above and beyond for our wedding. He arrived a day early to ensure every last detail was covered; from our rings, to my dress, our shoes, the Vermont leaves and stunning close ups of my husband's uniform. He took extra trips to our venue, (a whole 40 minutes away from where we were all staying), to shoot photos of the venue and grounds. Both of our families to this day still remark on how much they enjoyed and loved our photographer.
  
  Once the wedding was over, we were amazed how quickly we received our photos. We had them back before our honeymoon was even over! He had captured our day beautifully and we were so pleased.
  
  Not only is Derek such a pleasure to work with, his photography never disappoints. We will forever be his number one fans and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone. He truly is the best at what he does!

  Having Derek at our wedding was absolutely one of the highlights of our day. We received our photos less than a week later and absolutely LOVE them!!! Not only is his work of the highest quality, he's a joy to have around. Derek is so easy to work with, he heard all of our concerns and preferences and made sure to accommodate each of them. Derek is the best. Period.

  I looked around for the best photographer I can find and lucky enough, I found the BEST there is! Derek exceeded our expectations with his amazing photographs! My wedding was well documented and with his photos, I will be able to look back and say I had a perfect wedding thanks to Derek!

  I reached out to several photogrophers, but Derek was easily the one I wanted to share our day with. Not only did he want to know our story but he also shared his. That coupled with his incredible portfolio sealed the deal.
  
  When he arrived on site (and way on time) he engaged with every contact person and then joined us for the spectacular "getting ready pics." Derek's attention to detail and calm demeanor put us at ease.
  
  He was engaged through out the evening and delivered a set of pictures that have been, at least destined as special, and more frequently described as the best wedding pictures ever.
  
  Derek truly captured a very special day. You'd be lucky to have him.

  Fantastic, personalized service. Derek tailored his work towards our very intimate ceremony (12 people) and captured every shot and nuance we were looking for. His photos are gorgeous, original, and casual yet sophisticated - and turnaround time was less than 2 weeks! Our whole family loves them. They are THE perfect memento of that incredible moment and we'll treasure them forever. Derek truly cares for his clients and it shines through in his work. Call him today!

  Derek's photography is simply beautiful. His artistry was showcased so well in many of the pictures he captured of my wife & me at our wedding. I am so glad we chose him for our special day!

  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 is a photographic genius! He delivers only the very best work. We were very pleased with our photos of our beach wedding. He is a perfectionist and wants to give you the best shots! He is very likeable, trustworthy, professional and easy to work with. You can tell that he is really vested in capturing your special day. He gives you the shots that you desire and makes recommendations according to the lighting and venue. We trusted his creative genius and knowledge of photography and weren't disappointed. We highly recommend Derek and look forward to working with him again in the future.
