Can't wait for Derek capture our wedding day!
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.

Derek was a joy and took my pictures to another level. I love them!
Derek is amazing. He was there with me through all the planning process. We had multiple phone calls the make sure the day's plan was steady. He showed up early to the grooms' places on the day and snapped a polaroid of our dog! Which was such a nice surprise since she wasn't involved in our wedding otherwise.
Derek is witty as hell and is ready to laugh at all times. We were a pretty calm couple and I'll admit our group of friends are really seasoned from being a part of many weddings now, but I just can't ever explain how smooth everything went with him. We got all our photos done in a timely manner. Our sneak peak blew us AWAY! I purposefully dedicated a chunk of my budget to my photographer, but Derek took things to the next level.
He and his team also truly treated me like a queen all day. All of our friends raved about him and his team. Book Derek Coffman Photography NOW!Derek is amazing.

Pick Derek for your pictures!
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!We were looking to get the MOST bang for our buck, and Derek DEFINITELY made that happen.

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!Derek and Kim are seriously amazing!

A day you only live once but remember for a lifetime through your photographer
How do you capture a photo that entails a thousand emotions in a single second? Derek Coffman Photography is who I trust to answer that question. What a bride and groom want in a picture is hard to describe but Derek knows exactly what they want even before they do. Every wedding day story starts and ends with the memories captured by your photographer. And what a blessing it was to have Derek and his team behind our story. In one photo Derek can capture a bond between 5 brothers preparing their youngest brother to marry his soul mate, In one photo he’s capable of catching the emotion from a bride dancing with her dad just before she goes into the arms of her new husband. When you look back at your wedding day in 30 years you want those pictures to take you back to the exact day you got married. I don’t think it would be possible without him and his camera. It’s one thing to live the moment but to have the same instant relived for you’re entire life is a million times better. You can look at Derek’s picture of your bride walking down the aisle and just like that you are up on the alter again watching her walk towards you. How does a photographer do all of that with just a push of a button? You’ll never know unless you have Derek Coffman at your wedding day.
His techniques to get everyone in the right time and place is amazing. He’s direct yet sensitive in the fact it’s your wedding day. He’ll get everything you want and every memory in your photos. Dereks process for revealing our wedding day photos took us back to the day we exchanged our forever vows. We walked down the stairs to see multiple photos displayed for us to relive the exact moment we said “I do”. His personable touch in every step of the way was incredible. He made us feel completely comfortable in a place in life we’ve never been before. His ability to seize a moment you may not remember unless he was there with his skills behind the camera. Looking back on my wedding day through Dereks pictures is a story I won’t forget and that is truly what every bride and groom wants in a picture. A photo they will never forget and Derek has the power to do just that.How do you capture a photo that entails a thousand emotions in a single second?

Best Photographers EVER
I genuinely wish I could give them 100 stars. They are so relaxed and will make you feel the same on your wedding day. Our photos are all absolutely beautiful, and there's 675 of them! They both blended in with our families and got some of the most beautiful shots. HIRE THEM. It'll be the only decision for your big day that you don't have to worry about.I genuinely wish I could give them 100 stars. They are so relaxed and will make you feel the same on your wedding day.

Pleasant from start to finish.
Derek and Kim were pleasant from start to finish. Its a tall order to ask your photographer to be enjoyable and fun while also being professional and authoritative. Derek made sure that we got great pictures in a timely manner. But he's also just fun to be around. He made our wedding day even more enjoyable than it already would have been!Derek and Kim were pleasant from start to finish.

Best Choice Imaginable!
Derek and Kim made my wedding day better than I could have ever imagined! They were friendly yet professional, which made everyone very comfortable with them. They captured fun, candid moments of the day that I had completely forgotten about, and they also captured the important moments I dreamed about. I definitely recommend Derek!Derek and Kim made my wedding day better than I could have ever imagined! They were friendly yet professional, which made everyone very comfortable with them.

Couldn’t imagine a different lifelong photographer
Derek, along with his wife Kim, have been nothing but amazing over the past few years that we have used them. We have done family, newborn, engagement and many other shoots with them before they went primarily wedding. With our wedding very soon to come, we have no doubt in our mind that those photos will be just as beautiful as all of our other shoots have been. They are so caring, fun, educated, and talented at what they do and we can’t wait to see the amazing work that they do on our wedding photos!Derek, along with his wife Kim, have been nothing but amazing over the past few years that we have used them.

The Monroe wedding!
Derek and Kim are fantastic photographers! Some of the best wedding and reception pictures ive ever seen! They made both me and my now wife feel comfortable asking any questions about the process, or even anything i general about our wedding! They felt like friends more than, "simply wedding photographers". I wish them the best in life and in this business, and i hope that more 'to be wedded couples' find the Coffmans, because they have officially changed the game. It doesnt get better than the Coffmans folks.Derek and Kim are fantastic photographers! Some of the best wedding and reception pictures ive ever seen!

Nothing short of amazing
I don’t think we could have picked a better couple to photograph our big day. Derek and Kim were so amazing and so easy and fun to work with. They put us at ease with their kind personalities and that made it very easy to feel comfortable with them on our big day. They were extremely professional. They knew what they were doing and helped us to determine the most important things that we really were looking for in our pictures. They treated us like family and everyone lived working with them. My husband and I recommended Derek Coffman Photography to anyone looking for amazing pictures that will give you all the feels looking back at your big day.

We fall in love with our pictures every single time!! We have been getting pictures done by Derek and his wife for a couple years and every time we are amazed. We won our engagement session, were so amazed we then had Him shoot our Wedding and many more after. Derek was always very prepared and would talk to me ahead of time, he also took into consideration any ideas or thoughts we had for our wedding and captured all the memories ♡We fall in love with our pictures every single time!!

Tremendous and professional talent
Derek and Kim were truly incredible partners. They were thoughtful and thorough in advance of the wedding to ensure they understood all of the “must haves” on our wedding day. On the actual day of, they were prompt, captured the candids and created shots that we would never have thought to take. While Derek and Kim were omnipresent, they were never invasive and worked with our videographers in such a collaborative way. They are such gifted photographers and even went above and beyond with the reveal of our wedding book which was ready in just 3 weeks after our wedding! They capture the perfect balance of gravity and levity that comes along with the best of celebrations. We would absolutely recommend this talented team to anyone who is looking for this service.Derek and Kim were truly incredible partners.
