If you're looking for more than just photos, if you want your wedding day to be captured with intention, artistry, style and authenticity - then you're in the right place.

Your wedding isn’t just an event, it’s a collection of fleeting moments, quiet in-betweens, display of personality and love, and emotions that deserve to be preserved with depth and meaning. My approach blends documentary storytelling with an editorial eye, ensuring your images feel timeless, cinematic, and deeply personal.

“His quality of work is beyond luxury. He has a creative way of capturing your day that makes every bride look like she belongs in a magazine.”

Hi, I’m Derek.

Yes, I'm a wedding photographer with over seven years of experience, and as a result, I've learned a thing or two about weddings, and I'm here to share those insider tips, tricks and hacks with you.

When I photographed my first wedding, I didn't really know where to begin or where I was going. Then I went on a mission to perfect what it is I do, and how I do it, and I fell in love. Now I'm lucky enough to be able to share my art and everything I learned with you.
