We are so happy we chose Derrick Dixon to be our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos.
Derrick went above and beyond by traveling two hours to capture our engagement photos at the location where my Husband and I met. Our outside p...hotos turned out amazing, despite the freezing temps. Derrick never complained about how cold or out-of-the-way our location was, and he was willing to try anything to get the “perfect shots.” We provided some ideas and pictures of other engagement photos we liked, and he was able to recreate them perfectly! The turnaround for the engagement photos was quick, which we were grateful for because we used the photos for everything! Derrick’s photos were on our save-the-dates, bridal shower invitations, wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations, thank-you cards, guest book and profile pictures on Facebook. Plus, Derrick provided a cool wooden magnetic thumb drive with hundreds of photos for us to sort through, and he even printed out a lot of pictures for us. We framed many of the prints throughout our apartment and gave some to our families. Derrick is so generous and really cares about his clients.
Leading up to the wedding, Derrick was very prompt in responding to questions in regards our timeline, was willing to do two walk-throughs of our venue, and attended our rehearsal. Derrick came prepared with the list of photos that we wanted along with the sample wedding shots that we saved from other weddings. We could tell Derrick wanted to do a good job by the questions he was asking about the ceremony and paid careful attention to the sun and time of day.
On the day of our wedding, Derrick arrived early to capture candid shots of us getting ready. Derrick was able to capture all the important moments we requested without being invasive. When going through the prints that Derrick gave us from our wedding day, we were surprised at some of the shots he got because we never even noticed him when we think back on those moments. Derrick was great about not taking us away from our guests during the reception and stayed to capture our grand exit. Again, Derrick gave us a cool magnetic wooden thumb drive along with lots of printed photos. He even stayed with us in the coffee shop as we looked through the printed photos and we retold stories of the day.
We are so happy with the photos that Derrick took. We never realized how much these photos would bring back memories that got lost in the busyness of the day and help trigger those special emotional moments. Derrick gave us such a selection of poses, candid shots and editing that it will make it difficult for us to narrow down the pictures to fit into a single album. Derrick was very helpful on the wedding day. We had a lot of fun with him and we are sad we will not be talking or seeing him on a regular basis anymore. He was great with our families and friends, and he coordinated his shots with our videographers very well. He feels like a family friend to us now. We plan on having Derrick take our future family photos – buying our first house, maternity photos, baby photos, family portraits, graduation photos, etc. We highly recommend Derrick. He is very artistic, caring, talented, professional, experienced, and a great friend. We are so happy he was able to be a part of our engagement and wedding day. Thank you, Derrick!
Love, The Millers
