  Amazing Photographers!!

  If you are looking for an exceptional photographer for your big day look no further, Derek and Kayla are the most wonderful people to have capture your wedding day. They are such a great team and so pleasant to work with. We decided to book one photographer and had the pleasure of working with Derek. We love Derek and he proved to be incredibly talented and professional.
  
  He was truly the saving grace of our wedding. During the whirlwind day he kept us calm and composed. He kept us on a timeline and checked in with us better than our own planner. Then, after receiving our photos we were blown away by the quality of work. He has a beautiful eye for capturing the most special moments and sweetest details. He provided us with such gentle and perfect direction that we felt like models. We would highly recommend booking with Derek and Kayla. We can’t thank them enough for providing us with the most breathtaking photos of our union.

  Amazing Value, Experience, and Patience!!! HIGHLY Recommend

  My wife and myself are firstly very shy and awkward on camera, but both have high expectations and a very clear and precise vision. Additionally, there is a significant height difference between us. Kayla and Derek managed these challenges both on our wedding day and engagement session with humor and confidence, which made the quality of the pictures and videos both memorable and exactly what we are like in person. For couples that are looking at video and photos, they work so well together as a team, and treat everyone around them so respectfully and patiently. They always responded to us promptly and answered our questions to the fullest, had great recommendations with poses, attire, and posture, and knew how to adapt their expertise to our vision. Pricing was extremely reasonable as well, as they were able to work with us to fit our needs. Thank you so incredibly much Derek and Kayla, and we highly recommend anyone to work with them.

We are so thankful to this team for helping us celebrate and capturing the big and small moments throughout our wedding. Definitely use them for your next event!

  Phenomenal photos and so great to work with

  We just received our wedding photos back (a few weeks after our wedding) and Derek and Kayla did a PHENOMENAL job, organically capturing all the moments of love and joy that we will treasure forever. Working with Derek and Kayla was a breeze - they were consummate pros that were also super fun and down to earth. They were incredibly attentive to our questions (before and after booking), and they graciously accommodated us when we had to reschedule our engagement shoot several times. When Kayla had to back out due to falling sick week-of, they were in constant communication and assured us repeatedly that their backup second shooter would deliver the quality and style we were expecting (the final product did not disappoint!). When we had some day-of issues with other vendors (in no way D&K's responsibility) that threatened to derail our day, Derek stepped up (unprompted) and got the issues sorted so that the trains ran on time and we could enjoy our wedding day. We are overjoyed we chose Derek & Kayla as our photographers and could not recommend them enough.

  We love our wedding pics!

  Derek and Kayla just delivered our photos and we are in LOVE. These two are the best in the biz - fun, talented and know exactly how to capture authentic moments from your big day. They are professional, organized and all around wonderful humans. I also can be very awkward in front of the camera and Kayla was so helpful with directions and knew exactly how to make us both feel comfortable and relaxed. We also did our engagement photos with them and absolutely love them. Thank you, D + K!

  Would highly recommend

  Derek and Kayla were so great during our big day! They did our engagement pictures as well! We wanted our pictures with a lot of light and we wanted more candid and romantic pictures. They did an amazing job blending in with our guests. We are still waiting for our wedding pictures but we hope to get them soon! We did have our engagement pictures taken and edited by them which turned out amazing! We would highly recommend them!

  Just amazing!

  with so many things that can wrong at a wedding and this wasn’t one of them! Derek was so dependable and so fun to work with. All of my pictures are amazingly beautiful! We got our photos back in about 2 weeks which is RARE and the whole process was smooth and stress-free.

  The best ever

  Derek was absolutely wonderful during the whole process. I found Derek after looking for someone who offered some flexible and smaller packages, Finding hm to be the best quality for his prices. Our guests LOVED him, our bridal party felt so comfortable in front of the camera! We had a very rainy wedding day but that did not seem to phase them. They came prepared and ready! Thanks guys!

  Elopement shoot was epic

  My fiance and I decided to elope on a whim, found derek on the knot and had the best time. So happy with our photos and experience with them. Derek is so funny, Kayla his partner is a wedding planner so she helped with SOO many details of our wedding without any payment. They are awesome and packed with so much knowledge. Book them!

  Couldn't have picked a better photographer!

  Sadly we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid, but so thankful for Derek and his flexibility. We decided to elope & honestly it was the best decision. He absolutely killed it at our elopement in Yosemite last month! Couldn't have asked for a better photographer. He made us feel like we've been friends forever! Highly recommend Derek, especially if your camera shy like we are!
