Choosing the right wedding photographer & style that works for you.
I would welcome the opportunity of learning and listening to your ideas, wishes and most importantly what you would truly wish to achieve and how you would really wish your BIG day to be celebrated.
What is the most important thing for you on your wedding day? I always welcome the opportunity of learning more about couples, their story, the proposal, the meaning before the 1st dance if any, etc. This way we would be able to tell your story exactly how you wish it to be remembered and told.
Why not get in touch and we can have an initial video chat to make sure we do document all your nerves and emotions on the day as you would like them to be saved as life time fondest memories?
I am always available if you wish to get in touch.
At Derbyshire Wedding Events, that balance matters because no two weddings feel the same.
We appreciate that every couple have their own story to be told and saved exactly as they wish it to be as memories. That is why we listen and work with you right from the enquiry stages all the way to the delivery of your photo gallery and album.
Most importantly, this is YOUR day. Feel free to express your thoughts, aspirations and wishes openly to your photographer. No question is a silly question. Feel free to tell the photographer what exactly and how you would like your story to be remembered and told and your photographer is obliged to take note of that.

Engagement shoot
The engagement shoot went so smoothly. We got all the shots we wanted to at our chosen location. We were guided on how to pose, along with candid shots being taken. A lovely experience. We were very happy with the photos, and we received the photos back a lot faster than expected! Carlo was professional and friendly!

Total confidence.
Straight away we felt confident that Carlo would deliver just what we wanted for our wedding photography. His fast response to our initial investigative call and his easy communication made us feel he was the photographer for us.
Visiting his studio to discuss our requirements and a complimentary shoot confirmed we were right. He listened to us and without any hard sell took on board what we wanted from our day.
Throughout the process Carlo listened and communicated well.
When the day came (and it was a hot one!) Carlo put us all at ease going above and beyond what we expected. The resulting photos have brought tears to our eyes when we see how well he has captured each moment and ours and our guests reactions. Even over a busy weekend he quickly got our lovely photos to us to view while on honeymoon. We would 100% recommend Derbyshire Wedding Events. Thank you Carlo.

Top 1 percent. I would definitely recommend.
Carlo Laurenti from Derbyshire wedding events, well what can I say. He is absolutely fantastic, his work is second to none. He is an absolute superstar with children and adults alike, all ages, backgrounds, race, religion, disability, gender and Lgbtq+ and more. He is an incredible human who takes and produces the most amazing photography, videography and dare I say it, he's also a dab hand at discography too. (Although I did not personally experience either his discography or videography qualities myself). I will definitely be utilising Carlos services again in the future. I definitely and extremely highly recommend Carlo Laurenti and Derbyshire wedding events to any bride and groom for a wedding day like no other.

I cannot praise Carlo enough for the magical work he has managed to do. From getting ready all the way through to the disco in the evening.
I can't find the words to say how grateful we are that he was there to capture every moment of our special day!

Brilliant!
Carlo has been incredible throughout and he captured our wedding day perfectly. We’d already hired a photographer before deciding we wanted a videographer too, but Carlo worked really well with our photographer. Carlo made me and my husband feel at ease and was great at telling us his ideas for shots which we really appreciated as neither of us are good in front of a camera, but Carlo also captured all of the natural moments between us and our guests also. Communication has been brilliant. Carlo got on well with everybody and our guests have complimented him also, he’s very relaxed, easy going but still professional and polite. 10/10, would highly recommend!

Outstanding service
We couldn’t be happier with the incredible service Carlo provided as our wedding photographer. From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and completely dedicated to capturing every special moment of our day.
Carlo has a real talent for making you feel at ease in front of the camera, which made a huge difference for us and our guests. He truly managed to capture the emotion, atmosphere, and joy of the day perfectly.
We highly recommend Carlo to anyone looking for a talented and reliable wedding photographer. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime!

Amazing photographer
Carlo was absolutely brilliant. He was so reassuring and patient with everyone, was happy to accept ideas from myself or my maid of honour and suggested some great choices as well. Even though we ended up running behind on the morning he had no complaints and when my husband was getting a bit overwhelmed from having so many photos taken in a row after the ceremony (as he’s not really a photo person) he could tell and grabbed the bridesmaid’s for photos without being asked so we could have a bit of time to ourselves. He took hundreds of photos without complaint, including requested portraits from our guests. He was soo funny and attentive and when i was nervous made me feel at ease. All my guests complimented him to us from start to finish. This comment is only a small fraction of how happy i was with him and his lovely wife Daniella and would definitely recommend his services. I haven’t got my official wedding photos yet (only because the wedding was only 2 days ago) but i’m sure when we do they will be amazing! Thank you for all your help and support on our special day Carlo and Daniella xxx

The perfect photography/videography.
DWE went above and beyond for us on our wedding day. I could not recommend DWE more. It’s so easy when you choose them because Carlo and his wife make you feel so comfortable and guide you so well even if you’re not used to being in front of a camera. 10/10. An absolute delight.
