I’m Derrick.
Photography has been a passion of mine since I got my first disposable camera on a family road trip when I was 6.
I’ve been obsessed ever since
Obsessed with capturing emotional and authentic moments
I am on an endless quest to:
Try to enjoy spicy food
Ignore my caffeine addiction
Explore the globe
Drink Pina Coladas
“Easily the best decision we made regarding our wedding logistics was working with Derrick as our photographer. Never a second guess there, so much more than worth it. It was a magical day, and Derrick captured that magic perfectly, at a level I did not think was possible.
Everyone thought they looked SO good in the photos, and sure some of us clean up nice, but I am still amazed that he somehow captured us all looking so great in hundreds of photos all taken outside on a hot, emotional, July day.
The prep, the ceremony, the vows, the parents, the families, the poses, the candids, the interactions, the speeches, the friends, the kids, the setting, the emotions...that album is SOLID GOLD. Thank you Derrick, we could not be more pleased, and we'll cherish these photos forever..”

My Pets!
I have an adorable pair of animals. Isla my cat and Arlo my pup are pretty huge parts of my life.
When we picked Arlo up at eight weeks they told us he was an Aussie.
He is not.
Below is the cat and puppy tax.
My Photography
While this is a job for me, photography is also still a hobby. I love to document my life and the people and places around me. I love to try new techniques that make their may back into my professional work. Here are some of my favorite "personal” photos.
