Derek is an award winning wedding photographer serving clients from the Midwest and Nation wide. He specializes in documenting extraordinary moments with impeccable style and serving his limited number of clients each year.

“ Fun, intentional, and always detail focused. “

With more than one hundred weddings photographed and a love of the arts and design, Derek approaches every wedding as an opportunity to document his clients in a meaningful and genuine way. He combines a documentary approach with an editorial style, and understands the details that are in play throughout each wedding weekend. His work has been featured in iconic publications including St. Louis Bride, Off White STL, STL MAG, etc.

“I’m drawn to experience-focused clients that are truly and unapologetically themselves. When you don’t have to constantly think about the “photo shoot” on your wedding day, your nerves and hesitations simply vanish. My job, as your photographer, is to create a comfortable space that then allows me to create photographs that can never be replicated. To capture both the planned and the unplanned. The images I create only become richer and more valuable with time.”
