    Amazing pictures! Thank you so much!

    ​We are so happy that we chose Derek as our wedding photographer! His documentary style was exactly what we wanted, and he captured so many incredible candid shots of us and our guests throughout the day. The pictures are absolutely stunning and we can't stop looking through them.
    ​Derek is such a lovely, down to earth guy who put everyone completely at ease - especially me and my husband who aren't massive fans of having our picture taken! He fitted right in with our guests and made the whole experience so enjoyable. We would recommend him in a heartbeat! Thank you so much 😊

    The BEST photographer

    The most amazing photos! Derek always stayed in touch and was so accommodating with my hubby being on crutches (which was a last minute change) we got the most perfect photos without crutches and some amazing ones in the moment. Derek will literally go above and beyond for your day and makes you feel so comfortable. I have had people ask me for his details for there weddings and lots of people still talking about our amazing photographer months after

    Nikita & Lewis, thank you so much for having me x I say it all the time, but you two and your family and friends were fantastic, so welcoming. I pick my couples well ;) I loved all the personal touches, especially the cars, which obviously meant so much to you. I love how your photos turned out, and even that downpour out of nowhere couldn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. I hope they’re enjoyed for many years to come.

    Best photographer ever!

    Can’t recommend Derek more highly! He was the perfect addition to our day and the photos are so so beautiful - they perfectly sum up our wedding! We didn’t want to spend our whole wedding posing for photos and were very keen they were as candid as possible showing the real moments and emotions - and Derek achieved this and more! He also slotted into our day perfectly, chatting with all of our guests - everyone loved him.
    The weather on our day didn’t play ball (the rainiest Saturday of the summer) and we had an outdoor / marquee wedding planned. Derek was an absolute star at working up a quick plan B - he did everything possible to still make sure we got the quick snaps we wanted to of us and our family, and seized every opportunity of good weather to grab us for 5 mins of photos while the sun was out, which was so appreciated! We can’t thank you enough. Molly & Olli

    Derek Anson Photography's reply:

    Apart from our initial chats, I’m pretty much starting the day as a stranger. Being invited to be part of something so honest and special is something I’ll never take for granted.
    It’s mad really, when I think about it. So thank you for being so welcoming, trusting me and letting me run about with my cameras.

    Amazing 10/10 🤍

    Del delivered everything we’d hoped for and more as our wedding photographer. Throughout the day he was an incredibly calming presence, especially during our group photos which I wanted over and done with in lightening speed and he made it happen seamlessly!! He captured the chaos and fun on our dancefloor so perfectly we’ll be laughing at the photos for years to come. But most importantly, he clearly understood how important all of our friends and family were to us and has given us such a beautiful gallery full of moments we will cherish and revisit forever. We cannot recommend him enough 🤍

    Our perfect fit

    Del was superb for us. He was easy to contact before the wedding and the video call to get to know each other was very useful. On the day, we felt at ease with him and so did our guests. Nothing was too much trouble and he finds a way to blend in with the guests whilst still capturing all the special moments. The final photos are stunning and capture our day perfectly, with a mixture of formal, candid and fun photos. He really listens to what is most important to us and we will cherish re-living our day through the photos for many years to come!

    Derek was the perfect photographer for our wedding

    We hired Derek for our small wedding and he delivered on everything he promised. Candid pictures of the day and some great shots of our guests enjoying the day you wouldn't normally get. He was superb with us and made us feel at ease whilst having our couple photos and they have turned out great! We even got some bonus video footage which we didn't expect! We couldn't recommend Derek enough!

    Cheers, thank you so much Sam & Steve! That’s such a lovely review — I really appreciate you taking the time to share it. It honestly means a lot and I’m so glad you loved the photos!

    Blended into the day perfectly!

    I apologise for not writing a review sooner! Derek was absolutely amazing on our wedding day on the 8th of August! From our initial consultation all the way up to the day itself he was nothing short of professional! On the day he was patient and caring and was great at giving directions for the few staged shots we had. We were looking for someone who was more casual with the photos so real emotions/reaction were captured and he delivered that 100%. He was great fun to be around as well and blended into the day perfectly! Thank you for being a part of our day and I can’t recommend you enough.

    Amazing photographer!!

    Derek is so professional, responsive, flexible and easy to communicate with. We only wanted a few posed shots and the rest natural moments being captured and he absolutely delivered. My family don't like posing for photos but he captured so many genuine moments of us all just having fun.

    He wasn't intrusive on the day, he just blended in. We were only away from our guests for a short time for couples photos which was great as we wanted to enjoy every minute with our guests. He was so relaxed and friendly people thought we must already know him. But he's just a genuinely lovely bloke and made us feel at ease. I would 100% recommend to anyone, especially if you want a mix of documentary style photos and posed shots as you can have any combination of the two you want.

    Simply the best

    Derek was amazing from start to finish. From our first Skype to our goodbye he made us feel super comfortable. He managed to capture the exact vibe of our special day and we couldn't be more in love with the pictures.
    All of our friends and family commented on how comfortable they felt around Derek and how much they enjoyed having a chat with him. That considered there were so many points of the day where we almost forgot he was there.

    We highly recommend Derek not just for his lovely demeanor but also his professionalism and the quality of his work

    Derek Anson Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words! I had such a great time at your wedding — your friends and family were absolutely lovely, and you two were a joy to be around. Wishing you both all the very best for the future! 🎉🙏🥂
