We can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Derrick. We were lucky to have him take our engagement photos and then capture our wedding day alongside his amazing assistant, Jen. From start to finish, Derrick was responsive, professional, and unbelievably talented. He has an incredible knack for being in the right place at the right time, capturing not only beautiful candid moments but also creative, unique shots no matter the setting.
Beyond his artistry, Derrick has a calming presence and effortless organization that made even the whirlwind moments, like squeezing in photos before the ceremony and during cocktail hour, feel enjoyable instead of stressful. We never once felt rushed; instead, we were able to be present and soak in the beauty of those moments even more.
His photography speaks for itself. Every image has a natural elegance and timeless quality that truly sets him apart. But what makes Derrick exceptional is more than just his skill with a camera, he is a genuine, hilarious, and kind person, which made working with him an absolute joy. You can tell that this isn’t “just another wedding” for him; he truly cares about his couples and their experience. Throughout the day, he checked in to make sure we didn’t need anything (a drink, a tissue for our tears, a pep talk), all while effortlessly capturing unforgettable moments left and right.
Of all the vendors we worked with, Derrick was hands-down one of our very favorites. Derrick, thank you for EVERYTHING! From the stunning session at The Langham to preserving the moments from our wedding day that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. You are the BEST of the BEST, and we’re so grateful we had you (and Jen!) by our side.

Everyone can give you traditional photos, but not everyone can capture who you are, not everyone can capture complete moments in time in their fullest feeling, and not everyone can do it and still be totally innovative. Derrick Zellmann shot my son and daughter in-law’s wedding - he is the best - attractive, creative and gifted. He has such a special eye for designing each image artfully while at the same time his warm, welcome and calm presence making his couples and ther families feel completely at ease. He is dedicate to the shot! When I say this guy was Everywhere, I mean it - on the ground, up high and sideways and any other ways you can think of to get the shot and when the night was over and the lights turned on Derrick was still there! Derrick is a true artist that will not only capture the traditional wedding photos that you ask for but he’ll capture your love story and so many other memorable moments.
Yes, yes, yes to Derrick Zellmann Photography!! -

Wonderful!
I can't stop looking at my wedding photos! From the very beginning Derrick was super professional, calming, and it was clear he knew what he was doing. I was very nervous about the time crunch we had for my photos as we did not do a first look but with Derrick there I knew it was all going to work out. I had no clue he had visited our venue days before the wedding to scope out places for good photos- I was super impressed! You will not regret having Derrick as your photographer! I can't thank him enough -

The best wedding photographer!
Derrick is in a league of his own. He is patient, kind, flexible, WONDERFUL to work with, so creative and just overall a great person. I don’t like getting my picture taken usually and from the first photo during our engagement shoot to the last photo at our wedding, he made us feel comfortable and relaxed! It was just like hanging out with a friend, except getting your picture taken. So many people came up to me and told me what a joy he was to be around and how amazing his energy was, which I couldn’t agreed with more! He is so attentive, listens to what you’re looking for and goes above and beyond anything imaginable. His eye for how to take a moment or space and make it pure magic is incredible. And our photos - I am speechless. They capture our hearts and love so purely. Hire Derrick. You will not be disappointed! -

We worked with Derrick to capture our engagement photos and our wedding day. We had been referred to him by family and already knew he took beautiful photographs, but we were completely in awe of what he was able to capture on our wedding day. Derrick has a talent for capturing beautiful moments in a completely unobtrusive way. He didn't miss a single detail, and yet I hardly remember seeing or speaking to him the entire night. Something that stuck out to me was when he told me that our wedding wasn't meant to be a photoshoot, and he's right. We were not away from the party for more than a few moments after the ceremony. Derrick was incredibly organized, got the shots we discussed, and then let us enjoy our wedding celebrations with family and friends! We will treasure our photographs forever and cannot thank him enough for all his hard work. I will highly recommend Derrick for your wedding or any event worth capturing!
