Derrick Dixon Photography

Derrick was a fantastic choice for our wedding. All of the pictures turned out wonderfully, and he was by far the most flexible with his schedule and the number of pictures he would take during the day compared to everyone we considered. He was willing to show up early in the morning when we started getting ready and stayed until the end of the evening with no surprise costs, and he scoped out the venue a few weeks prior to find locations nearby for exciting shots. He was also a very fun, polite vendor to have with us all day.

Derrick was flexible and met with us over the phone while we were deciding what photographer to go with. He also communicated well prior to our wedding day to try to ensure our day went smooth. Derrick said we would have the pictures back within three weeks and they were ready even earlier. The pictures blew us away especially working on his own. The only thing I do wish is more pictures with family but we still are very happy with what we got.

I would highly recommend Derrick for a wedding photographer!! I had him as my wedding photographer and he went above and beyond to capture our day! He visited our venue beforehand to get a sense of the space. He then contacted me with a list of photos he wanted to take and a timeline for them. He was so organized, quick to respond and helpful! On wedding day, he hustled around the venue and got so many amazing candids, detail shots and beautiful posed photos! He took tons of lovely photos during our ceremony and was great about being discreet so the focus stayed on the ceremony. He was wonderful at organizing and directing everyone, and our group shots turned out incredible! He even pulled my husband and I for couples photos at sunset that turned out STUNNING! Overall, Derrick's organization, communication, creativity and positive energy make him a great wedding photographer! He had our photos back to us fast and we love them all. I highly recommend him!

Derrick did a great job taking photos and making our wonderful day that much more special!

Derrick was so easy to work with, he scouted out the venue beforehand, arrived early and was ready to go. He took so many pictures, and was accommodating to what we wanted. I loved how he managed to take my favorite pictures without us even knowing. We are very happy with the photos from our special day, and highly recommend Derrick Dixon for your photography needs.

Derrick works so hard to get any picture you want!! He was super helpful with coming up with photo ideas and captured our entire day. The pictures are far better than I could have ever imagined. I would recommend him to anyone!!!

Mr. Dixon was amazing to work with. He is very attentive. He met with me at the venue a couple weeks before the wedding to get a feel and plan out where we can get the optimal pictures. On the date of my wedding he arrived early and ready to go. He got tons of candid shots of the bridal party and the groomsmen getting ready as well as pictures of the venue. He was able to get a lot of pictures during both the ceremony and reception as well. He worked with us to make sure the pictures we had in our heads came out perfectly. All the picture come out beautifully. We received the pictures on a flash drive and a personalized website. I would recommend Derrick to anyone.

Derrick was amazing, attentive, and willing to do whatever I asked to make my wedding picture dreams come true. The week before, he even made a special trip down to my hometown to view the area to know what he was working with. My pictures turned out beautiful and will be cherished for many years to come!

Derrick was a pleasure to work with. He was prompt and thorough in answering any questions we had leading up to our wedding day and he was a blast to have at our wedding. Our bridal party always talks about how awesome and fun he was. Our family photos during our cocktail hour were a bit hectic given how large our families are, but Derrick helped to keep things calm while also ensuring we got the photos that we needed and wanted. Turn around time for photos was very quick and the photos are stunning. Something that really stood out to us about Derrick and something we really appreciated, was the work he was willing to put in even after he had given us our photos. We had some difficulty printing some photos on canvases because of layout being horizontal versus vertical and Derrick was quick to adjust the photo for us so that we were able to print the photo on canvas. He also took additional requests from us such as making a color photo black and white, etc. We really appreciate the hard work he put into our photos and we are so thankful we chose Derrick to capture all of the special moments from our day!

Derrick was on point for everything we needed at our wedding. He listened to our wants and needs and over delivered! We got married in 2016 and in 2021, we still have our wedding photos ALL over our house because they’re truly my favorite thing from that day. It’s very true what they say, “have a good photographer because the day goes by quickly!” So glad Derrick was ours!

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 photos 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
