About Derek Lamar Studios

Derek Lamar Studios

Lead Cinematographer

Based in Washington DC, I've filmed weddings worldwide, crafting cinematic stories that capture each couple’s journey. Featured in Munaluchi Bride and Black Bride Magazine. Proud USAF veteran. As a wedding filmmaker, I bring a cinematic storytelling approach, focusing on capturing each couple's unique love story. By fostering a personal connection with the couple, I craft wedding films that reflect their authentic journey. Using artistic composition, natural lighting, and a keen eye for detail, I create visually striking sequences that evoke deep emotions.

My ability to combine cinematic storytelling with a deep personal connection to each couple, ensuring their wedding film reflects their unique journey. Your attention to detail, use of natural lighting, and expertise in sound and music elevate the emotional depth of your films. Additionally, your global experience and background as a proud U.S. Air Force veteran bring a unique perspective to your craft, allowing you to adapt and deliver with precision and creativity

    Engagement shoot

    From the moment we first communicated with Derek Lamar Studios, we were impressed by their professionalism, consistent communication, and deep knowledge of wedding videography. Derek and his team were incredibly informative throughout the entire process, guiding us with expertise to ensure our vision was brought to life. The quality of their work is truly top-notch - their luxury videography services delivered great value and the final edits were perfection. Derek has an amazing eye behind the camera, capturing all the special moments that made our wedding day so magical. We're thrilled with the final product and can't wait to work with Derek Lamar Studios again for future events.

    Fantastic Service !

    Thank you for capturing our special day. We couldn’t ask for a better photographer. We would definitely recommend Derek to anyone planning a special occasion.


Definitely! While we’re based in Sterling, Virginia we’re available for destination weddings worldwide. If your wedding is over 50 miles outside the Washington, DC metropolitan area, we’re happy to come to your city for an additional fee to cover the cost of travel and reasonable accommodations.
Absolutely. Reach out anytime to ask about our special pricing for elopements! Please note your elopement must have fewer than 10 total guests.
Once you know your wedding date, we recommend reaching out as soon as possible about our availability. We film a limited number of weddings every year to ensure our couples receive the highest quality service, so our calendar typically fills up months in advance.
All footage we film is edited in-house by our incredible editing team.
Yes! We’re happy to send a copy of our certificate of liability insurance to your venue or any other vendors upon request.
All of our wedding packages include at least 1 videographer. If you’re having a larger wedding with 150 or more guests, we recommend booking an additional videographer to ensure we’re able to capture every moment of your special day.
