About DereckDavisPhotography
Dereck Davis
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
What I feel sets me apart from other photographers is my poise and confidence when going into a shoot. I feel like I'm in my natural element. I feel a sense of comfort and creative freedom while behind the camera.

A Photographer Who Tells the Story
We hired Dereck for an after-wedding celebration for our son and daughter-in-law and were very happy with the experience and the results. From start to finish, Dereck was professional, responsive, organized, flexible, and punctual. He scheduled prep meetings with me before the event and came fully prepared with backup cameras and batteries—including for drone footage—which was especially important since the couple arrived a bit later than expected. Everything ran smoothly and without stress. What sets Dereck apart, however, is his storytelling approach. He partners with a talented videographer to produce a beautifully edited five-minute montage that captures the essence of the evening. This isn't a music-only highlight reel—it thoughtfully weaves together background music with dubbed audio: excerpts from speeches, guest messages to the couple, laughter, and candid moments. The result was an emotionally rich snapshot of the night—far more meaningful (and watchable!) than the typical two- to five-hour video many videographers deliver. Dereck handled the golden hour and night-time lighting beautifully. These included candid guest shots, posed and portrait photos, and lovely images of the couple alone. His fees were very reasonable, especially when compared to other “content creators” we considered who offered only iPhone footage and music at a similar price point. Dereck’s work was on an entirely different level. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and wholeheartedly recommend Dereck to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only technically skilled, but also an exceptional visual storyteller.
Highly Recommend
Dereck and his team at DereckDavisPhotography were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first spoke, they were friendly, funny, and easy to work with. As someone who feels awkward in front of the camera, they gave me great direction that made taking pictures feel natural and comfortable. The quality of their work is amazing - they truly captured all the special moments of our wedding day. Dereck and his team went above and beyond to make sure we felt at ease and had fun throughout the photo process. I highly recommend DereckDavisPhotography to any couple looking for talented, professional, and personable wedding photographers.
5 stars!!
Dereck was great! He made sure we all felt comfortable which helped so much. He was friendly and thorough. Me and my wife were both happy with our choice for him to shoot our special day. I would recommend him and to any and everybody you will not be disappointed.
Amazing photographer!
Dereck was an amazing photographer!! We are so happy to have had him for our wedding— he was super professional and really set us at ease for our couple portraits. He got tons of action shots, and did a great job at getting the attention of multiple small children. His editing was beautiful as well— it was all exactly what we wanted!
