When our original photographer pulled out I thought we were doomed to find a replacement but Derryn being available turned out to be one of the best wedding decisions we made. He went above and beyond to photograph our wedding. When you see these weddings in magazines as beautiful as they are they always seem a bit staged what Derryn managed to do with our day was truly capture the joy, love and laughter that we shared on our day with our nearest and dearest. After the wedding we heard two things from our guests 1)how much they enjoyed the wedding and 2) just how brilliant Derryn was and that was before even seeing a single photo. From a single day Derryn has given us a lifetime of memories and I simply can't stop looking at our photos. Thank you doesn't feel enough to show just how grateful we are for what he did for us.

We were very fortunate to have Derryn as out photographer at our wedding. I found Derryn who had outstanding reviews and I booked him right away! He was amazing and I couldn't thank him enough. Thaaaankyou :)

Our wedding was held on the 1st of May 2026 at the Temple of Minerva, in the Botanical Gardens in Bath. This was followed by our reception at the Field Good Bar. Where do i start?? From the moment i picked Derryn to be our wedding photographer, i knew that i had made the best decision. His friendly, down to earth and relaxed approach made me and my husband feel at ease throughout all our discussions and planning leading up to our big day!
I wasn't the easiest of clients. All my anxieties,nerves and insecurities meant that i overwhelmed Derryn and his equally as wonderful, partner Sam with endless messages, asking questions all time of the day and night. Every response reasurred me and made me feel at ease and Derryn took it all in his stride. I was extremely self conscious about my nose and my lazy eye (i ended up having a nose job before my wedding), so there were lots of discussions about angles and poses that i felt didnt flatter me and bring out my aesthetic qualities. Derryn was fantastic, took it all on board and worked with my ideas. I also had lists and photos that i had screenshot of ideas i loved,which i wanted him to recreate best he could on the day! Did he deliver? Well i dont know what to say! We were speechless. He absolutely smashed it! Delivered more than we could have ever had hoped for, Derryn went above and beyond. The photos were outstanding and more beautiful than we could have ever of imagined. He captured our day perfectly and showed me and my husbands love for one another like something out of a fairytale. They are just magical.
We also chose to have videography done 4 weeks prior to the wedding, a last minute decision because we didnt know of we would have spare money to afford it. We are so glad we chose this additional option, because watching our video has brought back all those special memories and excitement from the big day. Every time we watch it its like re-living our day all over again.
I cant even begin to put in to words how much we love both the photos and video.
Finally, after all that worry with my insecurities, he done such a grand job I didnt even have to ask to have any of the photos edited, every picture was just perfect! There wasnt one i didn't like. If anything I felt the most beautiful ive ever felt in my entire existence.

If I haven't thanked them enough already. Thank you again Derryn & Sam for such a wonderful experience.

What can we say Derryn was truly amazing on our wedding day!

We first spoke to and hired Derryn two years ago to capture our engagement photos. At the time, it was something completely new for myself and Daniel, and we definitely didn’t consider ourselves photogenic people. Derryn was so relaxed and bubbly, picked the perfect spots for photos, and by the end of the shoot we were completely comfortable and didn’t even notice everyone around us. Our engagement photos were just perfect, and from that moment we knew we had to hire Derryn for our wedding when the time came.

Planning our wedding was incredibly important to us, especially as we were having a Harry Potter themed wedding. We wanted to make sure we hired someone who understood us, the magic of the theme, and the little details that made our day unique and Derryn definitely exceeded every expectation we had.

Throughout the entire process, Sam and Derryn were kind, supportive, and incredibly organised. Sam always reached out at important moments during our planning, which we really appreciated. Wedding planning definitely wasn’t easy for us, especially with changing the venue multiple times and moving the date, but Sam was always quick to help and update any details. It never felt like we were just another booking to them. Sam and Derryn are two of the loveliest people, and they truly care about your day.

On our wedding day, Derryn was calm, relaxed, and spoke to pretty much everyone, which made the whole day feel even more special. He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, allowing us to just be ourselves and enjoy every moment. Even though we had an idea of what to expect, it was still so helpful having Derryn gently guide us throughout the day.

What we appreciated most was how beautifully Derryn captured the feeling of the day. He didn’t just photograph the big moments, but also the tiny magical ones we didn’t even realise were happening, the quiet emotional glances, the laughter between friends, the proud smiles from family, and all the little in between moments that make a wedding so special. He always spoke to us about the next photos he had planned and made sure we were happy with everything. Through the photos, they truly told the story of our day.

We also received so many compliments from our guests throughout the day, and even now about how lovely and amazing Derryn was. He was full of energy and seemed to be everywhere, capturing absolutely everything.

Sam kept us updated about our sneak peek, our photos, and our highlight film, which we really appreciated. When we finally received our gallery, we were completely overwhelmed in the best possible way. Looking through the photos felt like stepping back into the day again, every emotion, every laugh, and every happy tear. They captured every bit of magic that was happening and even highlighted all the beautiful Harry Potter details that meant so much to us.

These photographs and films are something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. They didn’t just capture photos they captured memories, feelings, and moments that we’ll be able to relive forever.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is full of energy, will move/climb over tables, go out in the rain, and even climb in trees just to capture the most beautiful pictures, then Derryn is the one for you. He is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely passionate about the couples he works with. We truly couldn’t recommend Sam and Derryn more.

Thank you for capturing the magic of our day so perfectly it honestly felt like a little bit of real magic.

We couldn’t ask for a better photographer honestly. Derryn was absolutely amazing on the day and leading up. The communication all the way up to the day was perfect from Sam (derryns wife)! I will be recommending derryn to all my friends getting married in the next couple of years. Put everyone at ease on the day and worked his socks off. Thank you both so much. Love Lucy and kel x

Derryn was recommended through a friend, and he took some beautiful engagement shots of us a couple of years before we got married. We loved the style of his photography, professionalism and the fact he put us totally at ease.
For our wedding, we had a meeting prior to discuss what we wanted and he visited the venue with us so he could have a look at the best locations.
On the day we were not blessed with the weather, but Derryn made the most of the small amount of time we got outside, and also got lots of beautiful indoor shots aswell. We worked so hard on the day to ensure we got all the group and couples photos we wanted.
Derryn and Sam are professional, genuinely lovely people who really care about their work. We are over the moon with our photos and will cherish them forever. Thank you so much! X

Derryn was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He made us feel very relaxed and at ease with having our photos being taken. Very professional and friendly. Extremely happy with the service provided and would highly recommend him.

Derryn was a huge part of our wedding day. Not only is he hugely talented at what he does but he’s also a very nice guy ! We were made to feel comfortable during his time with us. His photos are simply the best !
We were recommended to Derryn by another couple and also another Photograher ! That speaks volumes doesn’t it !!! Thanks for making our day so very special.

Would definitely recommend Derryn for your wedding photography and video - Derryn was incredibly friendly, efficient and professional in the run up and on our wedding day. Everything went perfectly and we absolutely love our wedding photos and film. He was a great fit for us with the direction needed i.e. with lighting and where to take photos, but also the flexibility we wanted.

Derryn was an incredible wedding photographer, he took fantastic photos and got them back to us very quickly to start with family. He was incredible on the day being us organize all the family and bridal party photos and helping everything on our timeline!

Derryn is the most amazing and talented photographer and videographer. He’s very calm and collected even though our wedding was chaotic. His images and videos are stunning and he delivered them so quickly. Thank you so much Derryn!

Sam and Derryn were fantastic. Right from the first interaction with Sam, they were professional, friendly and really helpful. Derryn is a brilliant photographer and we are thrilled with the results. He put everyone at ease on the day and helped direct the group for photos. He made the experience fun and relaxing. I would 1000% recommend them! Thank you Sam and Derryn.

We had our engagement shoot completed by Derryn and was so impressed that we booked him for our wedding photographer!

The photos have come out amazing and Derryn certainly knows what he’s doing, I’d definitely recommend.

He is so friendly but still yet so professional, our guests are also so impressed with his service!

We would highly recommend Derryn and Sam for wedding photos as we used their services for our wedding on 18th May. From the first introduction, Sam was really helpful and efficient, setting up calls, giving us information and sending over details as needed. Derryn was really flexible in terms of adapting to what we wanted for our wedding and was very patient in dealing with the various family group photos and put everyone at ease throughout the session. Many thanks Derryn and Sam!
Best wishes, Ben and Martin
