Derek & Kayla Photography

sessed with every single one and they captured our love perfectly.

live out of state, we met over the phone to discuss our vision for our wedding. We then had a beautiful engagement session with so many amazing photos. Prior to the wedding, they reached out to us to review if there were specific photos/poses we wanted. We got married on a Saturday, and Derek & Kayla helped make the day run smoothly. We got back our sneak peek photos only a couple of days later and were already obsessed. The full photo album was sent to us within a few weeks, and we got WAY more photos than we expected. The only hard part is that we love all of our pictures so much, and we can't choose our favorites to get framed for our house! We will definitely be using Derek & Kayla in the future for photo sessions, and we highly recommend them to everyone in the Bay Area!

ing our special moments. Throughout the event, they seamlessly blended into the background, yet managed to encapsulate every emotion, laugh, and heartfelt exchange. The final photos were nothing short of breathtaking; each image radiated with the joy and love we felt that day. Their attention to detail and creative eye truly made our photos unique and unforgettable. Working with Vins and Vows was an absolute delight, and we're immensely grateful for the beautiful memories they've given us to cherish forever. If you're looking for photographers who not only capture moments but also create art, D&K is the perfect choice.

s well was a huge plus. We felt so comfortable on the day of - we have ZERO regrets about booking with them, and hope many others can experience what we did - you will cherish these memories forever!

ve photographers at past weddings, and we’re super awkward posing 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!

l 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.

ots to use at our wedding. When it came to the big day-they were patient, flexible, dedicated to our feedback and the photos turned out stunning! We are so thankful to this team for helping us celebrate and capturing the big and small moments throughout our wedding. Definitely use them for your next event!

They are professional, organized and all around wonderful humans. I also can be very awkward in front of the camera and Kayla was so helpful with directions and knew exactly how to make us both feel comfortable and relaxed. We also did our engagement photos with them and absolutely love them. Thank you, D + K!

rofessions (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!!!
