About Me

The overall excitement of the day, the freedom I have in displaying my artistic abilities; these are just a few of the reasons why I love being a wedding photographer. I work well under pressure staying cool, calm and collective. Being comfortable behind the lens will reflect in how the bride and groom feel in front of the lens. Working as a wedding photographer, I have the pleasure of photographing an array of weddings and venues. I’ve photographed Indian, Greek, Asian, Same Sex, Romanian and Jewish weddings. All are very beautiful and unique. I am always excited to shoot in a new venue and find that my best work comes from having to think in the moment. Having experience with a broad range of weddings prepares me as a photographer and shows versatility in my work.

Q & A

Why do you love weddings?

I enjoy the overall excitement of the day, and the freedom I have in displaying my artistic abilities.

What is Your Wedding Experience?

I utilize many special skills that create interesting and unique images. I can capture fireworks, nighttime portraits, large group photos and couples in front of windows. I also enjoy using interesting lens such as a fish-eye.

Derek was the best!!!! I could not have been happier. He was great with everyone and we had a bunch of kids and he was so good with them. Once you tell him your name he remembers them and calls everyone by name. He did everything I wanted and more. He was great with suggestions etc. I thank Derek for making my special day special!!!!!

Diane & Chris

We cannot say enough great things about Derek! He called us the week of the wedding, asked questions about the kinds of shots we wanted and answered any questions we had. We talked to him on the phone for almost an hour, so when we finally met him the morning of our wedding, we felt like we already knew him! We couldn't be happier that we chose Derek.
