Top Wedding Tips
●
Build breathing space into your timeline. A relaxed schedule gives you better photos, happier faces and time to actually enjoy your day. Rushing is the biggest joy-killer.
●
Stay with your people. The best moments happen when you’re with your guests, not missing from your own wedding. Plan portraits quickly and get back to the party.
●
Don’t over-plan the fun. The laughs, hugs and dance-floor chaos can’t be scheduled — and they’re the moments you’ll treasure most in your photos.

Very friendly and great photographer
Derek was fantastic and very laid back, he made us feel very comfortable from day 1 and you hardly notice him taking candid shots. Some fantastic photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Overall, we would highly recommend!

Derek is superb!!!!!
Derek was mine and my husbands photographer on our wedding day. He was great - from start to finish! He captured our day amazingly and was such a pleasure to work with. Reliable, flexible and a superb person! Photos came out great and we couldn’t have been happier with how they turned out. Such candid, natural shots…!!!
Sam & Steve
Derek was superb
We hired Derek for our small wedding and he delivered on everything he promised. Candid pictures of the day and some great shots of our guests enjoying the day you wouldn't normally get. He was superb with us and made us feel at ease whilst having our couple photos and they have turned out great! We even got some bonus video footage which we didn't expect! We couldn't recommend Derek enough!

Derek from the beginning was just amazing! He made me feel so relaxed and blended in seamlessly with the day! He captured some real emotion and the photos came out stunning! We spent a long time trying to find the perfect photographer and I am so glad we found Del! From the first consultation he was professional and attentive, and on the day he was brilliant! Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer on our day ❤️
