DereckDavisPhotography 
Rating: 4.9 (14 reviews)
Lakewood, CA
  • Photographer
  • Starts at $500

Welcome. I'm D e r e c k. I've been doing photography and videography since 2017. It wasn't until the pandemic of last year that I decided to take a leap of faith and make it a full-time career. I feel like I've always had a burning passion for photography and editing, I love photography because it captures a moment in time. Whether that moment is your wedding day or an annual family portrait, pictures enable us to relive and remember special occasions again + again. Why I specifically dove into Wedding Photography? Simple!! My love for creativity and seeing passionate couples that aren't afraid to show their personalities

Awarded Best of Zola
Dereck is an incredible photographer and provides very personable, professional, and timely services. I was pleasantly surprised he agreed to drive far and meet us in person before I confirmed for him to my photographer at my wedding. When we met, my husband and I felt very at ease with him as he was patient, professional, and kind. The payment process was very smooth and easy and he was clear about what would be included in the package. Dereck spent time to reach out and collaborate with me before the wedding to discuss expectations and timeline, so it calmed my nerves that he was organized during this stressful planning process. On the actual wedding day, Dereck had injured his ankle, but was clearly hustling despite his pain/injury and walking around the spacious venue to get not only get shots of my dress and personal items, but also running back and forth between bride/groom’s rooms to capture the intimate moments before the ceremony. He was committed and willing to explore the entire venue to capture photos in different locations to offer various background in our photos, which we appreciated. My husband and I are camera shy, but Dereck was very skilled in directing us in what kind of poses work best. Throughout dinner, he captured photos of all our friends/family table-by-table before taking his own meal break. Dereck provided the final photo and video product in a very timely manner and was much quicker than what I had heard from my other friends’ experiences (they said they had waited 6 months for any photos), but I only waited 6 weeks, which is completely reasonable. There was an issue with delivering the final USB, but Dereck was so dedicated he was willing to drive, once again, very far distances to drop it off at our home. After reviewing the final photos and videos, we are more than satisfied with the final product. He delivered exactly what I had asked for regarding a more dramatic effect in the teaser videos and audio vs. solely music over the highlight video. My husband and I had a super fun time laughing on our couch going through all the photos, watching all the clips, reliving the best night of our lives, and being able to watch our friends enjoy our wedding. Dereck provided numerous very well-edited photos that either fixed the lighting or captured different focuses and provided so many videos, which we truly enjoyed. I would highly recommend Dereck’s services!

I started Fresh Studio in 2009 to share my creative voice. Fast forward to 14 years later, it has become a platform for telling visual stories about the beauty of human connection and celebration. I live to experience the richness of collective human energy. Whether it's a wedding, a convention of the minds, or a performance on the stage, I'm at my best in this world when I'm behind a lens using photography to document your important moments, freezing them in time to live beyond a single day.

I love working with other wedding vendors who are committed to the success of the event. It is the most important time for a couple and often for their families as well. Jami was a true professional, dedicated, genuine, a clear communicator and very flexible even as things changed. I hope to work with Jami again and I hope that you take the time to learn more about what Fresh Studio has to offer. If you’re looking for a photographer that sees the vision, executes, and delivers (even when it’s freezing cold out), Fresh Studio is the way to go. They have set the bar!

Lakewood Country Club’s historic Spanish-style clubhouse adjoins a sprawling garden lawn lavished with foliage. Outdoor ceremonies are lovely on this manicured expanse, with flowering borders and trees providing natural adornment. Brides make their entrance from the spacious bridal suite on the second floor of the clubhouse where they’ve dressed in comfort and style. Following the ceremony, the newlyweds are whisked away to pose for photos amid the beautiful lakes and greenery. Meanwhile, guests are welcomed inside a Saltillo-tiled foyer for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. This vintage-influenced interior courtyard leads to three separate, and quite different, room options for your reception. Our premier event facilities are complemented by our experienced team of on-site catering and event team available to help you plan and host your event.

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
My husband and I attended their Wedding and Event Showcase to check out local vendors and ended up booking our entire wedding that day! Our original plan was to do a courthouse wedding and a small reception at our home but changed our mind after touring the venue. We fell in love with the Fireside Room. It was cozy, dim with Spanish-style vibes, perfect for a moody romantic wedding I had envisioned our wedding to be. We even decided to have our ceremony on the golf course at First Tee. It was perfect for us and our guests to have both in the same venue. What really convinced us to have our wedding here were our coordinators, Jennifer Flores and Carina Martinez. They were so kind and helpful from the first day we met at the Showcase all the way through to our wedding day. We were on a tight budget and had only two months to plan our 50-guest wedding. They had many different options to choose from. Carina was very patient and helped us choose the package best for us. We could not have asked for a better team. We are so grateful to them and the rest of the team for making our day special. An honorable mention goes to the Director of Food and Beverage, Mr. Jose Chavez. He was amazing! He made sure our menu for our guests was perfect, our His & Hers signature cocktails were exactly how we wanted them, the tables layout, everything! Kudos to him and his bartenders. They did an amazing job the day of our wedding as well as Carina, who stayed until the very end to make sure everything went smoothly. We cannot thank them enough. For the reception dinner we chose the plated meal service and chose the grilled chicken breast with a garlic cream sauce and the braised short rib, mashed potatoes and vegetables. Our guests had the option to choose chicken or beef for dinner. The food was delicious. Our favorite was the braised short rib. We offered our guests a one hour hosted cocktail hour while we took our photos by the lake, prior to entering the Fireside Room for dinner. We highly recommend this venue for weddings and other celebrations. It is a beautiful venue with many options. You will not regret it!

Hi, I'm Tiffany! I've been creating beautiful faces for over 17 years and styling hair for over 6, blending my background at major beauty brands with my passion for bridal artistry. I specialize in creating looks that feel like 'you', ranging from soft and natural to full glam, while keeping your morning organized, calm and fun! I've always loved makeup and its ability to empower and build confidence, and I find true joy in helping brides feel their very best on such a special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was obsessed with my wedding hair and makeup. It was exactly what I requested (light coverage makeup that lasted all day and hair half up hair with waves that also stayed all day but wouldn’t get all knotted from a bunch of hair spray). I was crying or sweating for about 80% of the day and it all lasted perfectly without ever looking cakey/streaky/etc. As someone who never gets my hair/makeup done, I recommend doing a trial. I found I wasn’t super great at articulating what I wanted and my inspo photos were not cohesive. Tiffany was great in helping with each step and giving me different options! She is communicative and flexible. She’s also super sweet and relaxing which is the right type of energy for the morning of your wedding! I would recommend her to any of my friends.

We felt very comfortable that he knew what he was doing, and on the day of the wedding he executed flawlessly. As for the preparation work, Seth schedules multiple meetings with you leading up to your wedding day which eases a lot of the nerves heading into busy planning season. Seth also has an app that you can download on your phone which is awesome because it allows you to edit details of your wedding day timeline and playlist on-the-go as we were making decisions during the planning months. On the day of the wedding, Seth came prepared having downloaded all the music that we talked about ahead of time and he kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT (over 3 hours). Seth responded to the audience and was able to mix a variety of genres that we had requested (like country, pop, spanish music, musical songs, etc) over various sets across the evening. He also coordinated our photo booth which was a nice touch that all the guests really enjoyed and had a second person stationed there for help all night. We couldn't recommend Seth enough to other couples who are in need of a DJ! Thank you, Seth!

Hands down, The Glass Slipper Palace was one of the best wedding venues we could have chosen. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was amazing - quick, helpful, and always prioritizing our needs. The venue itself was top-notch, beautifully decorated, and incredibly affordable. On the day of our wedding, the staff went above and beyond for us - we didn't even need to lift a finger as they ensured everything ran smoothly. Our guests raved about the stunning space and delicious food. We are so grateful to the team at The Glass Slipper Palace for making our special day absolutely perfect.
