Our initial meeting was friendly but professional, Derek is very passionate about his job and you can tell when he is speaking to you that the quality of your photographs means as much to him as you! The complimentary engagement shoot was fantastic, as like most people neither of us enjoyed getting our photo taken. It helped us feel at ease and helped us stay more relaxed on our wedding day.
I can honestly say our wedding pictures are the most beautiful I have ever seen, the fact that I didn't realise about 60% of the pictures were being taken tells you how discreet Derek was on the day. He made us feel very relaxed and was so accommodating with our guests when they wanted to take pictures. I have watched our picture DVD at least 20 times and I only got it last week! it truly is a story of the day and only further demonstrates Derek's immense talent as a photographer!

He's a star! We just got our photo album back and are absolutely delighted with it. Its in the style of a book and really tells the story from start to finish.All of Derek's work shows attention to detail and there was not one photo we didn't like. In fact we found it so hard picking our favorite photos for the album that we had to have all of them in it. We would highly recommend Derek to capture your special occasions, not just weddings.

More than 5 stars!!! We "stumbled" across Derek through one of our friends, and once we met him we had no hesitation in hiring him, and, boy, we did not regret it! Derek is fun, professional, creative and he has "the eye". The way he captured moments and emotions at our wedding is most wonderful.
We both love photography and it was very important to us to get the best pictures possible for our special day. Derek by far exceeded our expectations, he told the tale of our wedding in his pictures and never missed a key moment. We are so grateful to him and can't recommend him highly enough. If we could give him more stars we would!

Absolutely fantastic!! Derek is a truly outstanding photographer who is immensely talented. Our wedding photographs are beautiful and so special. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and a large part of that can be attributed to Derek.
Although ours was a small wedding Derek gave it the same care and attention that he would have given a far more lavish affair. We really appreciated his professionalism and good humour. Neither of us really like having our photos taken but Derek really put us at ease and we actually enjoyed it!
All who have seen our photos have been unequivocal in their admiration with many claiming that they are the best wedding photos they've ever seen. You will not be disappointed - he is a remarkable photographer who will soon be in great demand, book him while you can!!

Best Wedding Photographer! Derek photographed our wedding in May 2009 and produced some really stunning shots. We have an album which really tells the story of the day with lots of photos of guests and family as well as ourselves, which was exactly what we wanted. I would definitely recommend him, everything he did for us was perfect and we could not have asked for more.

Simply Brilliant! We got Derek to photograph our evening party for our Wedding after getting married abroad in May 2009. We found him using Google and we are delighted we did. I already liked his shots, always managing to capture that moment seemed to be his style. Derek managed to take the most stunning photographs of our day. Looking back on our photos, I was not even aware of most of them being taken. I do think he has an excellent eye for finding everyone's personality and capturing it on camera. I cannot praise this man enough. All I can say is he will be very hard to get hold of in the future. I recommend Derek 100% (and more if it went higher). You will not be disappointed, I promise.
