About This Vendor

Imagery Rooted In - Passion.. Soul.. Intention..

We are more than just a photography duo; we are a passionate husband-and-wife team committed to the art of freezing those beautiful, candid, and heartfelt moments that make life truly remarkable. Our journey into the world of photography has been a profoundly personal and artistic one, forged from a shared love for art, the enchantment of film, the power of storytelling, and the profound magic of preserving cherished memories. As we traversed through diverse landscapes and encountered countless souls, we realized that our purpose had crystallized. We were destined to be memory-makers, crafting visual stories that would evoke nostalgia, joy, and a profound connection with the past. We are capturing not just images but the very essence of the moments we were privileged to witness. Thank you for trusting us with the most special day of your life. Let’s create magic together!

Still swooning over our wedding photos from our wedding. We found Derek through our wedding planner and right when we jumped on the phone with him we knew our personalities were a match. We went to the most gorgeous place for our engagement sho...

We hired Derek & Kayla for wedding photography, with both taking photos for events over three days. We were pretty nervous since we’ve seen some bad wedding photography and intrusive photographers at past weddings, and we’re super awkward posin...

g for photos. D&K offer a complimentary engagement photoshoot, and the time we spent with Derek during that session - not to mention the beautiful and genuine photos we received! - were immensely reassuring. Communication ahead of the wedding was streamlined, and over the three days they were so kind and flexible, regularly checking in with us to make sure we were doing okay and going above and beyond the roles of photographers. They were great about taking photos without pulling people aside or out of conversations to pose. We asked them to prioritize candid photos of ourselves and our guests and do minimum editing. They executed perfectly, and we love the results - we’re having a tough time choosing which photos to print!

We just received our wedding photos back (a few weeks after our wedding) and Derek and Kayla did a PHENOMENAL job, organically capturing all the moments of love and joy that we will treasure forever. Working with Derek and Kayla was a breeze - ...

they were consummate pros that were also super fun and down to earth. They were incredibly attentive to our questions (before and after booking), and they graciously accommodated us when we had to reschedule our engagement shoot several times. When Kayla had to back out due to falling sick week-of, they were in constant communication and assured us repeatedly that their backup second shooter would deliver the quality and style we were expecting (the final product did not disappoint!). When we had some day-of issues with other vendors (in no way D&K's responsibility) that threatened to derail our day, Derek stepped up (unprompted) and got the issues sorted so that the trains ran on time and we could enjoy our wedding day. We are overjoyed we chose Derek & Kayla as our photographers and could not recommend them enough.

Any questions?

We loved our photographers! Only reason we give a 4 star and not 5 is because we personally wish there was just slightly more direction for us when posing as we aren’t models and professions (like hold my bouquet lower, or tell people to stand ...

up straight or closer) but we could be being overly critical because we haven’t done this before so not sure what to expect. We love our pictures and are excited to start filling our house with them. Every time we look back on the pictures we are immediately brought back to the happiest day of our lives and we feel the joy and love all over again!!!
