  • “Derek was absolutely fantastic from the moment we met him right up to the end of our wedding day. He was always on hand with advice and a help with anything we needed. He was so easy to get along with, he really did feel like one of the guests. His photos were amazing, they really captured those precious moments in time that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much for your part in our special day.”
  • “The photos are fantastic – thank you again for helping to make our day so special”
  •  “The number of people at the wedding who commented on your presence and professionalism has been fantastic. Barely anyone who was there on the day has failed to say something to the tune of ‘your photographer was incredible’
  •  You’ve made a lasting impression on our family and friends  and we’re incredibly grateful for your help in making our wedding day so special
  •  The slideshow presentation has really captured the feel of the occasion, and we’re of the opinion that it works better than a video of the event. There’s no wobbly camera, no embarrassing commentary and it just has a really professional quality about it. Likewise we’re delighted to have the full complement of photos from the day; so many other newlyweds we’ve spoken to bemoan the fact that they never get to keep most of their album.”
  • “Many thanks for all your efforts on Friday – you were great and all the guests were singing your praises!!!”
  • “Just wanted to thank you and your colleague for your services at our daughters wedding last Saturday. Your patience and professionalism at all times was remarkable and we can’t wait to see the photos now!”
  • ”Just wanted to say, what a fantastic job you did for us on Saturday. Every one has commented on how you were taking photos but no one felt that you were intruding. I hope that you were able to enjoy yourself even though you were working. I’m glad that it rained as it added a bit more fun to the day.
  •  They are fantastic pictures, well worth the expense of the day just to have them”
  •  “Thank you so much – I love our photos and I’m so pleased I asked you to be our photographer”
