Derek Halkett Photography

My husband and I are soo happy we found Derek to shoot the most important day of our lives. I found him by researching pictures from my venue and found a post of his pictures. I fell in love with the style of his pictures and immediately reached out to him. He was prompt to reply and we set up a call. We decided to put down a deposit to hold the date, and signed the contract. I had also emailed him several times leading up to the wedding to ask about videographer recommendations and he was always very prompt to reply. We never met him in person before the wedding, but had a call the week of the wedding - he was very professional and organized. He arrived on time the day of to the location we asked and immediately got to work. He was very pleasant to work with and very knowledgeable. He scoped out great lighting and made all the family portraits very efficient. We got sooo many great pictures and I cannot stress how happy we are with all of them. He caught so many great moments and I honestly don't remember seeing him there taking pictures during the hustle and bustle of the wedding day - which is how it should be! He also coordinated the first look between me and my husband which was one of my favorite parts of the day. We got all of our pictures back faster than I thought and we are just so happy with the quality and accessibility. Highly recommend hiring Derek to shoot your special day! He was so nice and down to earth, he also has an eye for getting amazing shots. Cannot say enough good things :)

If you want beautiful photos, then Derek is the photographer for you. Derek did our engagement session and our wedding photos. With the engagement sessions he met us at the crack of dawn to take some beautiful photos in meads quarry, and already has a sneak peak for us by the time we finished lunch! We ended up with hundreds of gorgeous photos that we used for save the dates, wedding programs, and so much more!! For our wedding day, Derek was so helpful in helping us make a time line so that we could schedule the right time for photos in, and was always quick to respond with any questions we had. During the day of he was helpful, efficient, and so good at making sure everyone was comfortable in front of the camera. In addition to his talent, he is so fast at getting photos back!! We were halfway to our honeymoon the next day when we got our first sneak peak back!! Then not even 3 weeks after the wedding we received over 800 gorgeously edited photos back from him! He perfectly captured our day and I am so thankful we decided to work with him!

Derek is an incredible photographer and person!!! He captured the most beautiful angels and moments. Having worked in Weddings and events as Marketing Manager at the Warwick Country Club I saw a lot of photographers, and I can say hands down go with him! From the time my fiancé and I first spoke to Derek he was the most personable, genuine and accommodating vendor. He did our engagement shoot while it was snowing and was adventurous which made the most amazing images! He was so unbelievably kind the day of the Wedding and we are forever thankful for all his help AND how gorgeous the photos we have to look back on the day!! Derek was also extremely fast in getting the photos back to us within weeks of the Wedding. Thank you so much Derek!!! We will definitely stay in touch for any future needs!

I'm ecstatic to say that my wife and I could not have booked a better photographer to capture the most important day in our lives.  Between our engagement photos and wedding Derek was an absolute pleasure to work with.  You can tell in his photos he has a natural eye to take the most beautiful pictures and his ability to take advantage of what any location can offer is second to none.  Derek was incredibly responsive, attentive, reliable, and posses all the communication skills one would expect to be their wedding photographer.  His personable demeanor went a long way in getting our rather large wedding party to stay focused and on point which resulted in some great group shots.  We enthusiastically recommend Derek to anyone and their photography needs, and it would be our pleasure to be able to work with him again.
