Last update: November 2024

Derbyshire Wedding Events, a Littleover, Derbyshire-based wedding photography and videography company, has offered great quality packages and value for money for over sixteen years. Offering superb services to spouses-to-be throughout the East Midlands and beyond, owner Carlo and his team will tell your story beautifully, weaving the emotions of the day into every frame.

Typically, Derbyshire Wedding Events' full-day wedding photography and/or video package includes:

  • Early start with coverage of the morning preparations, like hair, makeup, and outfit details
  • Footage of the full ceremony: You'll have the option to get wired up with a very small and discreet microphone to ensure vows are captured crisp and clear. This is particularly helpful during outside weddings and in large venues, churches, etc.
  • Lots of candid filming and photography, including drone filming, at no extra cost
  • Confetti shots, a walk around with the couple documenting the day, not posing it
  • Evening activities: Speeches, cutting of the cake, first dance, remaining on site until approximately 10 pm to capture dance floor fun, too

As a bonus, during the day, all your guests will be offered the opportunity to leave you, the couple, personalised video messages and even have their own memento pictures taken. There is absolutely NO limit to the number of pictures taken at all.

Derbyshire Wedding Events invites you to add a pre-wedding session to your collection. Here, you can get to know the professionals and document the excitement of your engagement and anticipation of the beginning of a new chapter.

The team at Derbyshire Wedding Events will deliver the entire wedding film and highlight reel shortly after the big day so you can look back on it and see the love unfold all over again. They also offer a wide range of high-quality albums to enable you to treasure your special moments for many years ahead.

Derbyshire Wedding Events is arguably the easiest and best people to deal with. Carlo is so accommodating and nothing is a problem for him.

Carlo is an absolute amazing professional who knows his business inside out who always puts the couple’s interest before anything else. He has gone so many more extra miles for us offering us options we didn’t even know we had! He truly took charge of our special day and everyone absolutely loved him and appreciated his passion and knowledge.

Carlo was our DJ for our wedding (December 2018). He was brilliant. Very accommodating when it came to playlists and to last minute changes. He played all our requests and even let my younger sister take over at one point. His set up - lights, etc. complemented the room as well. Oh and we also got photos and video coverage of everyone on the dancefloor. Recommended!!

Brilliant

I just wanted to say what a brilliant job you did for us on our wedding New Year's Eve, you delivered everything you promised and more,
The music you played and the way you did you're action photos were spot on, and the way you helped us throughout the day to make it go all so smoothly.
We will be recommending you to everyone we know for events in the future.
We love the video and photos just can't wait to watch it all.
I don't know if you drink whiskey vodka etc, but please let me know what you're drink is as I would like to buy you a bottle as a token of appreciation, the least we can do, you played a big part in making our wedding day so special

Many thanks Martin and Rebekah

Alex and David 17.11.2018

I'd just like to say a big thank you to Carlo at Derbyshire Wedding Events from myself and David, for giving us a most wonderful day even with the mishaps of the registrar abandoning us! (We didn't know where she had gone or what music was due to be played!) We did not stop laughing the whole day, and you provided the most brilliant music and atmosphere and a fantastic video of the day to share with those who unfortunately could not be there with us! Carlo was professional from start to finish and could not recommend him more to all couples. Thanks again, and best wishes, Alex and David.

Sophie & Brian 1/1/18

We were recommended Carlo for our big day last year. I can honestly hand on heart say he was fantastic. So much more than a DJ, he also took some magnificent photos and put together a beautiful video. We had a family emergency just before our big day and He was so friendly and approachable and helped us in anyway he could. Cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Carlo ????????

Highly recommend Carlo from Derbyshire wedding events.


His DJ set up is professional and will look great at any venue. His choice of props and lighting are super, and his music range will cover everyone's tastes. We had Carlo for an all day package which included day videography and photography.

We have a brilliant video of all the important moments from our wedding, as well as lovely guests messages, and we have a range of brilliant photos capturing the natural moments of guests, the Groomsmen getting ready and the venue decor before guests arrived, as well as funny shots of our guests dancing in the evening. Definitely recommend DWE.

Wow!!!!!

Now I’m fussy about my music. Real fussy.

Carlo listened with much patience to what I would want and not want but then asked that I had faith in his judgement. Wow that was a big ask but I took the leap of faith and it proved to be a wise decision. He really knows how to read the crowd. Our party was made by the superb job Carlo did. It’s not until you have a quality DJ that you realise how important they are. They can make or break the party. With Carlo you get all of him because he really devoted all of his energy to make the party work. Carlo certainly made our party. He really knows his music and can select the right track at the right time. His gear is top quality and he certainly has enough of it. Never seen a DJ with so many toys. I know that it all worked out so well because it was so obvious that Carlo cares and he really really wants to just make the party the best ever. I suppose my only regret is that our venue had no time curfew and Carlo seemed to dig forever deep and keep on going to 3:30. The main is a legend with a huge heart. A true gent. He will make your party because he knows his stuff, he’s got the kit and he cares.

Thank you Carlo!!!

Thank you so much, simply amazzzzzzing!

Carlo did the music and video of our whole wedding and he didn't let us down, from the ceremony to the last song of the night the music was spot on and we've thoroughly enjoyed watching the video he made of our day.
Would highly recommend for your special day and any other events

Simply OUTSTANDING - Could not expect or ask for anything more -

Carlo exceeded our expectations by miles!!

We hired Carlo from DWE based on a recommendation by friends of ours and the venue itself, Shottle Hall, and we were not disappointed.

The value for money is brilliant and Carlo is friendly and professional and knows his stuff!
We hired Carlo for an all day package which covered our videography, music during day and DJ set up for evening disco.

He was at our venue Shottle Hall from the crack of dawn and set everything up perfectly.

Carlo produced a lovely video which helped capture key moments from the day, and included guest messages which is a lovely keepsake. He also took plenty of brilliant photos throughout the day that helped capture natural moments of guests, as well as the venue and decor.
He sorted all our music for the ceremony and it went without fault, and supplied background music during the wedding breakfast.

His set up for the evening disco suited the venue perfectly. It had up lighting, a tidy DJ area, and we chose screens either side as part of the display. The music was great though out the evening, and all our guests enjoyed the experience. We have lots of photos from Carlo to remember the day and evening, as well as as the video, that perfectly accompany the formal shots by our photographers. Would highly recommend Carlo for DJ/Disco and for videography.
Thanks again.

The Glade Wedding

Got our guests dancing and sent us a nice dvd of photos and a video of the evening which we are yet to have time to look through but from first glance looks really great and I reckon we are going to enjoy a few laughs over some questionable dancing! Carlo arrived on time and set up without any issues and the set up looked great in the marquee.
